What does it matter? Criterion develops first and foremost for the PlayStation 3 anyway.alr1ghtstart said:
But I digress. As I said in the other thread: oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God let this be true.

This would be amazing if true, I think Criterion could do a great job. I just hope they don't make it too extreme. I personally think SSX3 struck the perfect balance between over-the-top arcadey and realistic (the realistic part being the awesome mountain environments).
And it has to be an open mountain, like in 3 (preferably even more open, with the possibility to go down any side of it and end up in different places depending on which route you take). I loved the feeling of free-riding from the top of the highest peak in SSX3 and just going where I felt like.

I don't see why a single, huge mountain could not have loads of variety.

ALL OVER MY FACE...
In terms of naming. It should just be SSX. I'd think of it as a reboot to the game, incorporating elements in all the previous ones.

Yeah, but people have been referring to SSX:OT as SSX 4 for years. (See Wikipedia redirecting "SSX4" to On Tour, merqurycity.com and big sites like IGN using ssx4/ as their URL for On Tour, etc.) Just because the game fucking sucks doesn't mean they should reuse its number. :lol
(Probably any new SSX game will have a subtitle like Burnout/NFS/the last two SSX games anyway.)

I'm not sure there's an inherent reason why it couldn't, but it certainly didn't. I didn't care for the one-mountain thing anyway so I'd rather they ditch it and make the coolest and most unique tracks possible.

WTFFFFF You need to play Tricky, and SSX3 to get a REAL taste of SSX greatness. More so SSX Tricky because the personalities, tracks, and rivalries make the experience so fun.

But why are we going nuts over all of this? We know they're doing this years Need for Speed, and if the team isn't big enough to handle more then one game. Then it isn't happening, seems simple enough?
SSX Tricky was the series' peak and everything went downhill after that. It's one of my favourite games of all time, and it still gets picked up for multiplayer sessions with friends.
I really disliked how SSX 3 handled character development compared to the simplicity of Tricky, unlocking extras and improving stats became a huge chore to do for even a single character and the loss of variety between them made it seem all the more pointless. The rest of the games in the series aren't even worth mentioning.

This is the only sports game, I enjoy. I love the characters and the general flow of the game.
However On Tour sucked. And shouldn't even be mentioned EVER. I was so mad when I played that game especially since it came right after the amazing SSX3.
I have faith in Criterion tho, if the amazing feeling from driving around Paradise City transitions to riding down a mountain I will finally have a game I can play at any time and have instant satisfaction.

You know why Criterion should work on SSX? Looking at this thread and the Paradise thread, it's clear that both fanbase are just as split on which game in the series is the pinicale. I, for one, welcome the fact that it's back.

Criterion is just the right developer for this. Oh to be doing a 30 minute run in high def... OK--I just added SSX3 to my Sunday game rotation!
This sounds fucking amazing. It sounds like EA said, "You guys have to take Need for Speed, but for doing so great on Burnout you can pick out any other IP if you want to do that too".
I can't fucking wait. If we see these two games and maybe even another Burnout before this generation is up, I'll be proclaiming Criterion as developer of the generation. I'm doing it already now anyway. Burnout Paradise is still the best game of 2008, this generation, and now it's the best bang for your buck ($25 for the game + island DLC that gives you like 60 hours of content? Yes please).
Burnout Paradise is an amazing game and the only reason it got pooped on was because of the restart thing and the fact that jaded fans couldn't get past the idea of an open world. The game's execution was spot on, stop being dorks.

To those that want a free roam mountain...why? You can't get the variety as seen in Tricky. Mercury City, Tokyo Megaplex? How would you have those on a mountain:lol

My point is really just that like... as I said, I think SSX Tricky is way better than SSX3 -- but SSX3 is still an awesome game. My understanding was that Burnout Paradise was still an awesome game, separate from the specific question of whether it's "the best Burnout" or not.

This. I've been wanting SSX3 with proper Xbox Live functionality forever. I think SSX3 was the pinnacle of snowboarding games.-PXG- said:

There's no reason you could make a ton of crazy courses like Mercury City and Tokyo Megaplex and build them into a free-roaming mountain as segments, much like SSX3 did with its race tracks. It might be a contrivance, but would it really matter if it was fun and creative? I completely agree that I don't want them to take the Paradise route and just turn a mountain into a race course, but if you design it with predetermined courses in mind, I think it could totally work.
