Notice the ranking graphic to the right? Could we be getting real time online multiplayer in an update?

 

[V_Ben]

Well, EA's summer showcase is starting soon...

 

[wwm0nkey]

A great game just got even better, nice!

 

[joeygreco1985]

Would be pretty neat, but too late for most people

If there was a re-release with all DLC for only $40 I picture it would get some peoples attention.

 

[Neuromancer]

Interesting, very interesting.

 

[Bgamer90]

Todd Batty just sent me a message confirming it!

 

[kiyomi]

How much will this cost?

Spoiler

 

[Delusibeta]

Todd Batty just sent me a message confirming it!

Now all I need to do is buy the bloody game in the first place.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Can not wait!

 

[eighty(one)]

I wouldn't have ignored the game, had it included splitscreen 2 player/co-op. SSX didn't so....

Was hoping that's what this announcement would be...

 

[RealDeadOne]

Hmmmm, I decided to hold out for a PC release but it's pretty clear it's not happening by now...

Would it still be worth it to pick up on PS3, or would I be better off waiting for the price to drop considerably at this point, what with not many still playing online?

 

[Tawpgun]

YES.

Shame it didn't ship with it.

 

[SolarPowered]

woah woah woah woah

I'll pay for this shit. Sign me up please.

 

[Franklinator]

Awesome, I just bought a copy of this before seeing this thread.

So you're welcome for the multiplayer, everyone.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Yess! SSX is in desperate need of real time multiplayer. I hope this is true.

EDIT: Nice!

 

[Cheddahz]

This was the main reason I got rid of my copy of SSX, hopefully it'll get cheap soon

Same. This might entice me to come back, but it will depend on price.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

YES!

 

[Franklinator]

$15 at GameFly at the moment, lasts until tomorrow.

 

[Struct09]

Awesome that they're adding it, but it's a little late

 

[ubercheez]

Nice. I just picked this game back up a few days ago. It would be really cool if this was a free patch, but I'm not holding my breath on that.

 

[BlackJace]

I'd hop right back fucking in.

 

[90TilInfinity]

Todd Batty just sent me a message confirming it!

Mother of God...

They hinted at a new free-roam mode too a little while back, right?

 

[canedaddy]

Same here. I have it on my trade-in pile... I gave it a try but it's just not the same without 2 player offline.

 

[Anticitizen One]

did they ever release a patch that got rid of the bottomless pits and pointless rewind feature

 

[Bgamer90]

Mother of God...

Yeah the video they showed was HUD-less so I'm pretty sure the update will have free roam.

 

[akaoni]

Will consider buying it again. Did they ever fix the issue with spinning-speed using the classic controls?

 

[Neuromancer]

Todd Batty just sent me a message confirming it!

Awesome!

Did he happen to mention a HUDless free ride mode as well, per chance?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

The Awesome Gets More Awesome

 

[Zanosuke]

Great news! Gotta love devs that keeps updating their games long after release : )

 

[Darklord]

Do people even play this anymore? What's the point of adding it now?

 

[vaelic]

Too late

 

[TheSpoiler]

Splitscreen where?

 

[MNC]

What about split screen guys? If it has splitscreen, I'll buy it.

 

[joeygreco1985]

Also I'm still waiting for the patch that fills in the death pits.

 

[whalleywhat]

This.

 

[Bgamer90]

I still play it.

Many others do too.

Not as many as before though (obviously) but it isn't like there's only 25-50 people still playing.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Also I'm still waiting for the patch that fills in the death pits.

lol, I actually wouldn't complain if they did do this. I can't stand the death pits.

 

[Bedlam]

did they ever release a patch that got rid of the bottomless pits and pointless rewind feature

...and the Wingsuit.

No?

Alright, never mind...

 

[wwm0nkey]

Hope this comes out soon.

 

[Xater]

Should have been there from the start. Now I don't car anymore.

 

[keltickennedy]

Wow, this game is slowly turning into the previous SSX games. Nice! I will probably still pass since my main gripes were the controls and handling and also the lack of character customization.

P.S. SSX3 HD Please EA!

 

[btkadams]

this is good news! the biggest issue for me was splitscreen though (besides the PIIIITS). this is because asynchronous online was essentially competing with people anyways, without voip.

 

[Bgamer90]

Hope this comes out soon.

I'm guessing it will come sometime this or next month.

 

[Bleepey]

Any chance this update will be free? The cynic in me thinks EA did this just to sell it as DLC and split screen is relatively quick and easy to implement.

 

[Everdred]

I hope they sell some kind of "GOTY" type thing. I no longer own the game but this would be worth it to get back with all the DLC too.

 

[PSYGN]

Oh wow, so they didn't even have true multiplayer online? My interest was lost when no local splitscreen was announced. Poor guys must've had a tiny budget or a small window for development. Better late than never, I suppose!

The current online multiplayer was fine IMO. Very addictive... don't need to have your friends online to compete against them online.

It wasn't due to a tiny budget, it was just their decision not to put it in. They felt that competitive leaderboards was better since you didn't have to worry about lag or a player bumping into you and thus messing up your score or time.

I agree with others though that feel that both should have been in the game from the beginning.

 

[Fantastical]

I'd be down even though most of you would wipe the floor with me.
