Will SSX Deadly Descents really be so different from its predecessors?

After reviewing the teaser trailer for SSX Deadly Descents, many SSX fans are fearful that the game has taken a turn in a completely different direction. However, upon further speculation, the teaser still reveals many similarities.

[Relientk77]

Yea it looks completely different

Hello,

Call of Duty: Modern Snowboarding

[MelonieMac]

LOL!! Yes, that's what many are saying, but I think it will be more similar than many think. :p

SSX has always used helicopters on mountains in ther videos, this just so happens to look a lot better. :D

[-Alpha]

A lot of core fans are complaining that it lacks the light hearted nature of SSX.

I loved SSX3, don't mind the new turn, but hoping it retains the spirit. Looks very good, can't wait for it

[firefoxprime]

Just as long as they don't try to hardcorify it like...Bomberman anyone??

[zeal0us]

I made that point out in another article about SSX:DA, so I know where you are coming from.

[eggbert]

That'd be activision.

This is EA.

So its actually Battlefield: Snowboarding of Honor '12.

[HolyOrangeCows]

Too many franchises are serious'd-ing for the Call of Duty generation. Remove color, insert serious'd gear.

Oh dear integrity! Where art thou??

[Arup02]

Let's hope the producers change their minds, we want an arcade game!

[MelonieMac]

Still early to tell, and it's been said that there will be online play. That sounds fun!!

I'm really looking forward to some in-game footage!

[DrGroove247]

It does seem to be buiding on the same principles of the past games. I can't wait to see gameplay. And as always, great work again, Melonie! ;)

[Ninferno]

Would be interesting to see the game use PlayStation Move or Kinect. SSX Blur was actually a very good and overlooked Wii game.

[Shackdaddy836]

Meh. This game looks kinda cool but lame at the same time. imo at least.

i have never been in to snowboarding/skateboarding games before though so I wouldn't know.

[Bits-N-Kibbles]

SSX is unlike most of the games you probably have in mind. There is something about the feel of freedom, style, and vertigo in SSX that all other games lack. IMO of course. SSX Tricky and SSX3 were the best.

[HOSe]

will it be better than tricky?

seems so

[MelonieMac]

Wow, that is a HUGE claim since Tricky was so amazing. Would be pretty sweet if you were right!

[hankmoody]

The real question is if it will be better than SSX 3.

[Gen0ne]

That would be a better question.

[dkgshiz]

How you ruin an SSX game is beyond me. Well excluding that Wii SSX game. SSX has been an amazing series. Its pretty easy to tell this game is going to suck major balls.

[HOSe]

wtf man. the cgi trailer looks awesome. cut out some of that terrible dialogue and this game is full of win

***now if only criterion was developing***

[Errod88]

It would be awesome if we saw a SSX HD Trilogy for PS3,Xbox 360 with
trophies,achievements support. :)

[IuseC4]

I have to say, ive never played a SSX game, guess this will be a good place to start!

[Bits-N-Kibbles]

would be to pick up ssx tricky or ssx3

[Gen0ne]

Yup

[f789790]

It better not be different or I'm not buying it. The only difference should be HD graphics and that's it.

[Ninferno]

who knows though, maybe it could be something great. I love franchise reboots that actually bring the games to the next level

[Bloodlyte]

I dont want to "survive"... I want get my tricks in before the big jump to get my uber meter maxed and then unleash an insane trick with all of todays HD glory, fuck this realism bullshit, whats wrong with the devs man!!! first DMC, then the rumours about RE6 being in the hands of Slant Six, the bullshit capcom is pulling off with de RE5 franchise.... To these fuckers even listen to the community? I would hate too see what they would do if suddenly Killer Instinct 3 and Shenmue 3 came out with kinect support....

[Firebird360]

That trailer was complete crap! I was really looking forward to this game too, just fun arcadey action with great music and colorful courses, but this is the total opposite. Total let down

[infamousinfolite]

I for one, want the same SSX game that I played before with some online play HD that is all I really want. I hate it when people want to change a good series to fit this new generation smh

[soundslike]

had trails you started from a helicopter at the very peak

it was icy as fuck and very intense

it really is not much different than how the trailer looks.

[Bits-N-Kibbles]

This is true, people should rewatch the SSX3 teaser trailer. (since most people claim SSX3 was the best of the series)

People just hope the whole game is not like that. Hopefully the further you get down the mountain, the more crazy, colorful, firework-filled, advertised, stylized, and insane the course gets.
