Hmm, usually there are some cool pre order bonuses on most if not all of shopto stuff. And i am also not sure that MT Fuji is an exclusive at all in Europe. I thought that everyone in Europe simply got it ? If it is like that and only GAME got it, then i will be mad. The description in shopto doesn't mention in though, but it should be there right, at least i hope so ?

Is there an exact time when the demo will hit the US-PSN marketplace?

By "App" I meant a RiderNet app for iOS or whatever to keep me posted on standings amongst my friends.
Will there be such a thing?

How long did you spend with it before this opinion? Cause after like 4 hours, I feel totally at home with the physics of the rider. You have to develop a good sense of when to ease up on the stick, when you can go full speed, when you can start your pre-wind, and when you should turn sharply. It takes time and memorization of the course. It definetely felt loose at first, but I'm controlling it with ease now, even when I need to fit into tight spaces, and so forth.

"MODERN BOARDFARE"?!?!? My wubwub dreams....
I Didn't notice any frame rate issues other than when the initial helicopter flew in for the tutorial.
I do find the grind (non rails) using the left trigger will take some time to learn. Looking forward to perfecting it though.
Also did not get a sense for how late you can bail on a trick. It seems you can bail almost at ground level and not wipe out. Needs more testing on my part to learn the limits.
Ugh! Why is today a work day?

i agree with this i just didn't find the right words to put it but this is exactly how i feel about it. The controls imo are horrible i just hate the analog feel.

Wow I suck at racing. My brain cant stop forcing my hands to do tricks and grab big air when I should just be maximizing my line and my speed. Just a heads-up in case anyone misses it in the menus, you can change your camera distance with the select button. It helps.
I've tricked run 3 times and raced twice. I've seen one framerate drop and that was in the helicopter on the way to the tutorial. Fear not, people.

Remember to jump early when you're hitting kickers so that you can flatten your trajectory when racing!
When Grace Chen feels like it.
I just got to work. Long wait to play the demo.

Shut up. I'm sick of seeing your ghost fly by me. I had you beat one time and then I smashed into the side of a hill. BOOOOO. Loving this game.

It's pretty dang fast. I felt like I was just barely throwing tricks down, not even thinking about what I was doing.
Wow, really surprised at how much I don't hate the new control scheme, like that you can use the stick or buttons. Though, I wish you could still nose/tail press with the right stick and have jump only mapped to A.
Also surprised at how bad I sucked with the classic controls, just couldn't grind to save my life. Guess it has been 4-5 years since I played an SSX game (not counting Blur).
Graphics aren't much to right home about, but still looks pretty good. Was also surprised that they had 5-6 songs just in the demo.

I just did the tutorials in the demo. I hope I won't have to repeat them.
From what I could tell, the game feels really fast, faster than I remember SSX3 being. And while I wouldn't say I was out of control, it's a little bit looser.
I was trying out the stick controls, and I think once I get used to them, it'll be pretty good. But for the moment, I can't quite wrap my head around pre-winding with the stick. I keep hitting every button and I wind up accidentally rewinding and things like that. My instincts take over (I think I'm even hitting the equivalent of the "tweak grab" button in the middle of jumps). I had no idea how deeply ingrained they were.
I look forward to playing the crap out of it when I get back from work.

Do they have release-day shipping? I've PO'ed with Amazon, but this is by far the better deal.
No unfortunately not.

So how does this feel compared to SSX3? That was my favorite.

Anybody notice that the menu music is a remix of Tricky's? So awesome.
from what I remember it seems much much faster

Was not blown away but I liked it. Tricking seemed easy. Wished it looked a bit better and the sense of speed was up a notch. Also rewind seems more of hassle that great feature as there is slowness to it that tells me I will hardly use it.
And why did they give Zoe a British voice? Yuck, but I guess it is better than the whiny boyish voice she had before

Body ready.
In other news god dammit why is newegg or amazon not price matching?
I'd have that shit on release day most likely if they did.
I'm really sucking at this, it's been so long. Also shit feels weird to me on a XBox controller, can't wait for the PS3 demo.

Jesus I will NEVER be able to beat Tokubetsu's 2:04 time. That is a MONSTER run he pulled off. I can't even crank 2:10.

As someone who played the shit out of SSX3, I can tell you it doesn't help. The mechanics are way different.
Yeah it feels really different, I'm used to using the A (or X on DS3) for crouching and getting ready for the next jump and I remember pressing and holding it before hitting the ground to get ready but now this button does tricks as well? It's throwing me off, gotta get used to it.
Psssh. I got his number once I finish my assignment I'm working on.
Holding down A is crouching before a jump, usually what I do is hold A do some tricks, land then hold A again and wait for the next jump.
Yeah, you can use the right control stick - down to crouch and up to jump but I prefer A down to crouch and then release to jump. You would then move the thumb to the right control stick to grab and trick.
The ubers are both triggers right?
