EA Big put out a new SSX Blur trailer today detailing some of the different characters that will be available. SSX Blur hits store on March 16th.
In its latest editorial, the Gameplaybook staff explains why the latest (and most drastic) change to the SSX series is a great one.
No, I would rather have a silly, colorful, over-the-top, FUN game.
You can keep your new serious snowboarding game EA; it's no SSX.
TheDCD is absolutely right. I am one of those who would think "not the exact same mountains with a little better graphics again". Love the idea of Freeriding as I do it a lot and guess it is the right move to sacrifice the old Funfaction for the new trend you can witness here: www.zapiks.com for example. Much more potential customers I´d say.
Would say SSX influenced the sport in a certain way - the sport itself and the material improved drastically during the last years - now they give this improvement back to the gaming series. A great development imo. And SSX will be SSX in concern of the characters talk, humor and soundtrack. I don´t doubt that! Look there is a citation of an older article by Peter Moore:
“An entire genre was born from the original SSX a decade ago, and it’s time to reboot one of the most popular franchises of all-time in an unpredictable and unexpected way. Fans have been begging for this since the launch of this generation of consoles, and we have an experience that will be worth the wait. This franchise has always been about racing, tricks, characters and fun – SSX: Deadly Descents will deliver all of that, and more, on a global scale, with rich online experiences, and with the sense of adventure never before imagined on a snowboard.”
I guess I will just miss the option to take ski as alternative to the board if I read Moores comment posted above...
A new hint dropped on Twitter by the UK EA developer rekindles old suspicions.
Hmm, now this is quite interesting, but I don't know how they'll find the time to do it, since they are working on a new Need For Speed. We'll wait and see I guess!!
Lol so criterion is doing a new NFS burnout, Roadrash and SSX ummm ok well if they have the staff they are the one developer that can pull them all off.
Hope all the sports big guys have moved in, and we want ssx tricky 2 not all that open mountain crap!!!! :)
In the conference call that followed Activision Blizzard's financial results yesterday, a couple of details emerged about Bizarre Creations' racing game, Blur.
Firstly, the president and CEO of the company's publishing unit, Michael Griffith, confirmed that the company plans to release the game in the back half of calendar 2009. Good news, given that it's nearly two years since Activision snapped Bizarre away from the Project Gotham series and details on the project are still thin on the ground.
