The pits are definitely the reason I enjoyed Tricky and 3 FAR more than this game. I'm strongly considering trading it while it still retains some value.

The previous games were beautiful for their simplicity. This game tries too hard to make the courses "hardcore". It also throws in useless equipment that really add nothing to the core experience.

The lack of real, head-to-head racing still pisses me off to no end.

That said, some retro DLC would lead me to probably keep the game. A city track would be gold.

 

[clutch.as.it.gets.]

I like the direction of SSX 2012.

They wanted SSX to be more than just mindless ubertricks after uberticks. They wanted some 1080 snowboarding in it, some challenge in racing and trick it events to make it more interesting to navigate and play it.

 

[SykoTech]

There are a good number of tracks with minimal death pits. I stick to those now that I've finished World Tour, and have a great time.

Well it's nice indeed to hear that a decent amount of tracks don't have too many pits. Still, it would have been nicer if none of the tracks did.

 

[Stormwatch]

I really don't like the bottomless pit tracks myself, but I kinda look at them as the 25-man raid of SSX. They are there for the hardcore that want that challenge. They just aren't there for me. With that being said I think the teases of this DLC/expansion/game thingy show that the developers do know how to listen and they know what we'd like them to add. We've wanted a ton of retro designs, fun/colorful tracks, and over-the-top effects like fireworks. Just from a few pieces of a puzzle we can tell that those things will be added. I'd be willing to guarantee that these new tracks won't have bottomless pits.

Can't satisfy everyone . . . oh wait that's what they did by including both types of tracks in plenty abundance XD

 

[demosthenes]

I would pay $40 for split-screen DLC

For just that one thing

fyi ea

I'd pay $40 for SSX Tricky on this engine.

Yes.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I'll buy this at a HIGH price. Fireworks, classic outfits, NO DEATH PITS

GIMME GIMME GIMME

 

[sixteen-bit]

how about SSX Tricky HD on XBLA

 

[Dany]

how about SSX Tricky HD on XBLA

How about

 

[Curufinwe]

I miss the really long runs you could do in SSX 3.

 

[FHIZ]

As long as there's no dark tunnels or narrow paths with a bunch of bottomless pits, I'm all about this.

 

[bradigor]

how about SSX Tricky HD on XBLA

That has been my biggest wish since I realised XBLA could do more than just Zuma type games.

 

[SadAli]

Fatigue is just beginning to settle in for me on the current courses as there are a few I don't even really want to play once never mind numerous times so this teaser couldn't have been timed more sweetly.

Couldn't agree more!

 

[Stormwatch]

vix from www.merqurycity.com was sent another puzzle piece. This time it adds a billboard to the bottom right portion of the picture. I'm really looking forward to whatever this is!

 

[Frankenstrat]

Are they going to fill the pits in the courses with snow? I would buy that DLC.

THIS THIS THIS

how about SSX Tricky HD on XBLA

Spoiler

I WANT TO BELIEEEEEEVE

They wanted SSX to be more than just mindless ubertricks after uberticks.

From the trick it events, it sure seems like that was what they wanted :lol

 

[LuchaShaq]

How about a single player mode that is tied together by more than just bad loot and hilariously bad motion comics?

After playing it through red box I was super glad I canceled pre order when online pass news came up.

Single player? Pffffffft

The multiplayer is where it's at, especially if you have some really good riders on your friends list.

Lol single player...

Also you dont even need the online pass to compete with friends. This is like the least offensive online pass ever.

Lol. That Mount Rushmore of Tricks is amazing.

 

[echoshifting]

That billboard may be a dark omen =\

...but if it means more dlc I guess I'll take whatever it brings with it

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

Just realized that those head statues are of the SSX riders. The one you can clearly see is Mac. A little slow but oh well.

 

[Stormwatch]

CharmyDweeng of Merqury City and http://ssxubercast.podbean.com/ just got another piece. We're waiting for him to upload it soon

Charmy's piece has been uploaded. It finishes out the fireworks on top.

 

[joeygreco1985]

I think SSX Tricky or SSX 3 track remakes as DLC would be the way to go. No death pits in those games after all!

Also fireworks

i love how there is a giant statue of mac's head that has his hoodie on too. so stupid haha.

Also across the path under Elise there is a statue of Eddie sticking his tongue out with a rail leading into his mouth . . .

World Tour is what it is but Explore is a good single player mode; creating custom global events just to go down the mountains with no distractions is fun too.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

btw, sorta off topic but does using the RiderNet Radio on PS3 disable the live stream of other players during global events? Since the patch I have not seen a single other player riding during a global event with me and can never find my friends even if we set up a custom event to race head to head.

 

[FlashFlooder]

I, too, wish they'd add more SSX3-type tracks. Long, relatively chilled out runs. And no death pits.

 

[Sojgat]

If they are the actual Tricky tracks I would buy this. If it's just set dressing on more awful tracks like those in the game already then EA can go jump.

Edit: Plus they would need to add in a reset mechanic instead of the rewind function the game has now. I doubt this will happen.

Ha ha awesome. Instantly switched me from "hate em" to "love em" on the Rushmore faces

 

[RobotRocker]

That pic of Elise on the billboard is also one of Adam Warren's SSX3 pieces he did for the game.

Oh god. What if, what if the DLC is the SSX 3 mountain?

I think I'd die then come back as a zombie to play this if it is.

 

[Neuromancer]

You know what, as much as I loved Tricky - and liked 3 - I'd rather the team make all new tracks based on the feedback they've received. Seeing an old track in HD would be fun at first but I think we'd get more lasting enjoyment from the exploration and discovery of new places.

 

[BruiserBear]

I'll buy this DLC if it's priced reasonably. I just hope they deliver a good number of tracks, and not just one or two.

 

[soultron]

That same piece of art is in one of the helicopters right now too, IIRC.

Yeah, I feel the same way. It might be cool to see Mequry City or Tokyo Megaplex, but I'd rather have a whole new track/mountain. There were some people saying that it might be neat to see old mountains that were altered a lot. For example, imagine Merqury City after a huge avalanche rips through it. That would be pretty cool.

 

[Stormwatch]

Here is the final picture from vix. It looks like it will be a lot of fun to play. I can't wait to see it in motion

 

[Jamie OD]

It's in Yuri's copter.

 

[StrikerObi]

You never know. The team has added lots of stuff in the latest patch that the community was hoping for. They fixed the deadzone issues with the Dualshock3, added "party chat" to the PS3 version (the PS3 version originally had no voice chat when it shipped), and it's been said that split screen is something they'd like to do in the future,



It might not happen, but you can stay hopeful until proven wrong!

Woah wait, I did not read the notes for the last patch. They fixed the deadzone issue? Guess I'm playing all day on my day off tomorrow.

 

[BruiserBear]

I've grown to really hate DLC being pimped so far in advance of its release.

 

[AzureNightmare]

Woah wait, I did not read the notes for the last patch. They fixed the deadzone issue? Guess I'm playing all day on my day off tomorrow.

The deadzone issue was a killjoy for me with that game.

 

[StrikerObi]

Rail through Eddie's mouth FTW.

The deadzone issue was a killjoy for me with that game.

It didn't really bother me but I bet I can improve my times/scores now that it is gone.

 

[Fantastical]

Apparently we'll be getting full details tomorrow.

isn't that exactly what mercury city is already? what would be different?

Apparently we'll be getting full details tomorrow.

awesome!

 

[StrikerObi]

awesome!

Mercury City is a city with an SSX track running through it. This idea is what if an avalanche destroyed most of that.

 

[BPK]

You don't need an avalanche destroying a city. The whole snowed-in theme of Merqury City rocks to begin with and doesn't need to be tweaked. We've seen enough avalanches on the natural tracks.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Man, that full image just screams "THIS IS SSX!!"

*fingers crossed*

So whats the story gonna be like? "Yeah after doing our own thing we really wanted to get on the tour again."

Just kidding, no one cares about the story.
