More Details For SSX: Deadly Descents

Kotaku: "The EA.com official page for SSX: Deadly Descents went live sometime last night, shedding a little more light on the return of the snowboarding series and dropping another three screenshots.

According to the site's official writeup, SSX: Deadly Descents tells the story of a team seeking " to be the first to descend the faces of the most treacherous mountain ranges on the planet." The globetrotting snowboard supercrossers will be shredding down the Himalayas, Patagonia, the Alps and ice ranges of Antarctica. Players will be battling both the mountain and a rival team seeking the same claim as yours."

Looks too dark,not the SSX I remember. Hope they change it back to the way it was but then again, you never no, I mean it is just a teaser trailer.

[Acquiescence]

The whole world wants SSX Tricky, current-gen style. We get a try-hard, Call Of Duty-wanabee instead!

Give me wacky characters, colourful day-glo settings and ludicrous tricks to pull off. Not this...crapfest.

[Yi-Long]

... the thing most of us loved about the SSX-series, like the fun arcade-style light-hearted colourful spectacular over the top stuff....

...it seems missing here.... replaced by a darker and more mature tone.

I don't like it. It could have been absolutely awesome with more colours, lighting effects, fireworks, light-traces, etc etc etc... yet it seems they just dimmed it all down.

It's like the people who made this game have absolutely no clue as to what made us all fall in love with SSX in the first place!

I like change, I get board playing the same thing over and over again. and please spare me the whole all games technically blah blah.
give me different, give me unique, and please spare me the whole technically blah blah.

(disagree with no explanation incoming in 3,2,1.....)

@acquiscence

the characters and their personality and tricks make ssx, not color. I would play the game in black and white as long as the game have personality and character.

"We get a try-hard, Call Of Duty-wanabee instead! "

what about that trailer is Call of Duty like? i dont remember doing tricks on a snowboard in Call of Duty?

[showtimefolks]

give this game a chance all we have seen is a tease/trailer

[Yi-Long]

... but the first impression that teaser/trailer gives us, makes it seem like we're not getting the kind of SSX-game we all love and want more of.

TBH, after having seen this trailer, I hope they'll announce they will also release a HD widescreen version of SSX3 for XBLA/PSN.

At this point, that would have me more excited.

[sickbird]

haha i love that someone disagreed with you, shows how ignorant some gamers are.

[cyguration]

This doesn't even look like SSX anymore. I can't even imagine doing the Superman on a snowboard in a game like this.

At least they're doing something different and it's not a Tony Hawk retread or whatever.

[Arup02]

I can't say i like it. The trailer showed a different game,not SSX (arcade, crazy tricks,etc) But i'll have to wait some gameplay action to tell if this game is worth or not have the SSX name on it.

[SIX]

want this so bad

[Dellis]

Why are people judging CG?????

the game will be all silly like it always has been

don't be fooled by flashing CG

the entire VGAs were a joke full of CG( EXCEPT Uncharted)

[Sitris]

And resistance, pretty sure that was gameplay.

[infamousinfolite]

I just hope EA gives us the same exact formula as with older SSX games. Nothing hurts us gamers more then finding out that it's not the same and that we got excited for a SSX game that isn't familiar to us. (Shift, Undercover, Prostreet)

[Arup02]

Agree completely with you. I just want the old SSX formula in a new skin.

[Rich1631]

Who is developing this game? Black Box? Criterion?

[xtremegamerage]

Don't want stunts.

Just want mental racing and some weapons. Would be awesome.

[JacobIsHollywood]

Those of you complaining about "dark"...

Did you ever get to the third peak on SSX 3? That was pretty dark. Lol.

[TheBossMan]

The Throne is awesome. Who was the master of the third peak?

If memory serves me correctly, it was:

Peak 1 - Mac
Peak 2 - Nate
Peak 3 - Psymon

[JacobIsHollywood]

Exactly. I totally OWNED Psymon too! I was Griff.

[Resistance]

Good memory lol. Its embedded in my head also

[infamousinfolite]

I going to hold out on this game as I can't see how EA can mess this up and if they do... thank goodness for gamestop and youtube!

[Holeran]

This could be a great game but it doesn't look anything like the play style of the other SSX titles and in my opinion they may lose a lot of the player base that loved the past titles. Call it something else and then keep SSX for a real SSX title.

[infamousinfolite]

Like SSX4: Radical Extreme or something like that.

[galgor]

far out dude!!11

SSX needs its old flare =[

[thesithfreak]

actually, i've loved every ssx game and i'm looking forward to this. it seems like a big departure which doesn't mean a bad thing. it looks awesome. look at the modern warfare departure for COD and what it did

[chilled2m]

Its pretty obvious from the description (within the article) that the game will still have over the top moves and arcade-like controls. What I believe is dead an buried, however is the funny, crazy, fireworks-laden goodness that was SSX of the past.

Based on the locales, its also pretty obvious that the entire game won't be this dark. I think the teaser trailer simply aimed to be as dramatic as possible, not necessarily indicative of the entire game.

[Relientk77]

I dont understand why it looks like call of duty

like they turned call of duty into a snowboarding game
lol

[Dark-Cloud]

comeon guys , it's in night so it's dark !!! >.< ..
you guys wait and you will see that this isn't like cod game or anything like that !! im sure that skate developers will not change the game to a realistic game or like shooter game , they will improve the graphics , make a challenging gameplay , more amazing tricks , more stuff ............. just wait for the gameplay but remember that the pictures or videos or even the demo's doesn't show you the real game , when you play the full game you have diffrent feelings then playing a demo ..

[tunaks1]

this looks horrible.
A part of my died inside while watching the trailer. Is this what gaming has become?
How the hell does SSX end up looking like COD ????

Fucking Ea...
