New Making of SSX Video: Gameplay and Tricks

Hope the flat and sharp edged mountain walls are fixed before release. I know it's early footage but they need to pick and choose what they show carefully.

Glad the SSX core fanbase is happy with this. I may be stupid to admit this but I've never played an SSX game. Last snowboarding game I played was probably 1080. This looks pretty rad though.

pick up Tricky and 3. you won't be disappointed

I hope they make a Wii version of this (I believe they would fuck it up if they did though :()

That's why there are things in the corners saying Pre-Alpha...

...what?
 
This video may have just sold me on the game. I like their design philosophies that they've adopted. Only SSX I've played was SSX Tricky so this is definitely on the radar. Looking forward to more.

Q1 2012.

It's 2012, but this fiscal year.

The sooner the better, but I'd prefer they take their time and polish this supremely. We waited long enough for the king of snowboarding games to return, what's a tiny bit longer.

Nice gif. I still think its too soon to say its a true SSX sequel but it looks like its headed in the right direction.
My thoughts too.

That footage is looking good but I'm going to need to see more. Damn if that look close to SSX3 though.

I agree. Game looks terrible. Also what's up with the checkered pattern all over the mountains? Not very realistic if you ask me!

You were pretty up on this game even when everyone else was down, right?

I salute thee.
 
Replace Wood with SSX n you get the idea.

Hmm... Did they say what platforms it will appear on? It seems like it will come out on PC. I mean, it looks like they're developing and testing it on PC.

Either way, I'm really happy with the new footage. It looks a lot like 3, which is awesome. Now, make it more like Tricky (stage-wise, announcer-wise, and music-wise), and make me very happy.
 
Why would you do that? said:

all games are made on PCs dawg.

All games aren't tested/played on PC, though.

of course not. however I didn't see a dev kit anyway (doesn't mean there aren't any). I'm just playing it safe. I expect a Wii version before a PC version. and so far only PS360 was announced I think

Did they even come out on the PC previously? Hell I think the first was one of the main reasons I ended up buying a Playstation!

Hell of an improvement though over what they were attempting to pass off as an SSX game before.

Well obviously which is why I even pointed out that I knew it was early haha. I'm just saying... if they want to finally show footage, make it stunning. But I guess what they showed was enough to make people forget about COD and Tom Clancy vibe so I guess I shouldn't complain haha.

Can't wait to see more than just mountains and colors. I needz fireworks, crazy obstacles, and something new to make it be THE next gen SSX. Not just a higher res upgrade of last gen's games. I want to be WOWED.

More of this and we can just forget the reveal ever happened and move on.
If you guys notice, it's not the "shoulder pads" character in the image. It's a female character with a body suit and blonde hair - most likely Elise. So gear might be tacked on ala shoulderpads man but for the moment it looks like the characters will still be somewhat like their classic counterparts.

In the early part of the video, there's a shot of a guy pushing a shoulder button + square button - this is SSX Tricky/3's method of going from grab to Uber. The animation cited later also goes from grab to uber - so maybe they are creating a new control scheme, but they are developing it from the classic trick setup, at least for now.
 
Hope thete's a dev diary about music. Let's get some sophisticated breakbeat and funky sounds again. Some Miami Horror remixes would fit well, even as a main theme.

And classic R/L hold+Square etc scheme please, no Skate esque stick shit.

And this won't be complete without my main man MISTAH MOBY JONESSS!
Hopefully they are forgetting On Tour and Blur exists including their art style and char design.

Right, but they definitely are when you a) want to show the game running at the best possible framerate given that it won't be optimised yet and b) are when you're still in greybox.
 
The more I see, the more hopeful I get. Courses, and then music, and we'll have all the ingredients for a good SSX.

I was one of those people who thought this version of the announcement trailer was about a billion times better than what we actually got, just due to the sounds dubbed in.
 
I love that "Eliminate Frustration" is (jank)

Glad they are doing this, hope that by the time they are actually showing footage in whole (maybe E3) people would have forgotten the atrocity of the VGA trailer
 
I'll be happy with the game no matter what happens. I hope they're not going to take out the Deadly Descents bits. Exploring dangerous mountains with metroidvania "gear" elements sounds/sounded really cool.
 
I am much more happy with what I saw here. I still want to see my crazy/funny characters return. Elise seems to be in but she was one of the more normal ones. I need Psymon.
 
Pretty sure I saw that video in another thread yesterday (or somewhere else), but yeah, man, that video has me really pumped. My hype is rising. Everything about that video is a far cry from what we've received so far, so I'm regaining my optimism.

New making of video. A bit of gameplay in there too.

Looks...pretty damn good actually.
!!!!!!!!

looks great! i still think it's a bit weird that the name is just ssx (what will the next one be called?) but everything in that video looks great. seeing those tricks just put this onto my day1 purchase list. why did they have to scare the shit out of us for months with that announcement trailer?

Yeah I moved his post here since it was in the last thread and figured we might as well bump this instead.

Here's a better capture of Elise though.

Game has been looking better and better lately. The only thing that could make it better is if they announced the inclusion of Eddie.

Quick question about SSX3: In Tricky, pressing the left analog stick made your rider stand up from the crouched position, allowing you to make quicker turns. Did they remove this feature in SSX3? I could never figure out how to get out of the crouched position in SSX3 without jumping. :/ One of the many reasons why I preferred Tricky to SSX3.
 
It's starting to look like SSX again! HELL YES!

It almost looks like the gameplay of 3 but with some of the crazier environments from 1/Tricky. Which would be awesome.

I hope this turns out well. I've been waiting for a real SSX3 follow-up for years.

Love all the backflipping people are doing. Would be even funnier if people played the game and it's broken, so they backflip again.

It's a new SSX game, be happy!

You know why people werent happy right? The reveal looked nothing like SSX, it looked like they put Sam Fisher on a snowboard for some night ops shit, not what most people were looking for in an SSX.

I'm on board (lol) day one after that video, looks like the SSX I want to play. The art looks varied and a cool mix of the outlandish and realistic. Hope you can have your chars have crazy hair and hoodies and shit tho.

Rather see a franchise stay dead than get mutilated. Not that I thought the previous reveal was as bad a most people did, but it definitely did not look like SSX. But who cares about that now? The game isn't going to be as previously thought, so the "SSX: Black Ops" thing will die off.
 
I am not going to let myself be bamboozled. Until I see a GB quicklook or play it myself, I will not be convinced. However, it seems like they're going in the right direction. Keep it up.

This is proof that devs actually listen to their fans and that publishers and marketing firms are fucking clueless.
