why are you even in this thread if you don't think it's right to comment on the direction of a series as expressed both in a video and by the developer? just to try to dyack anyone who has anything negative to say into silence?
I'm not saying it's wrong to show concern about the game based on the trailer, but the whole "SSX is dead" type of statements are being made waaay too soon imo.

No, this is how SSX3 was advertised - the very first trailer for the game:

It's very accurate to how the game ended up, and it shows the vibrant colors, over-the-top characters and tricks, how totally non-serious it is. And we know that this one's a completely different game, EA said so in the description - it's about some hardcore team trying to ski impossible slopes, rather than a snowboarding festival where the world's top boarders get together to compete and challenge each other.
Compared to tricky though that video had much less vibrant colors on the tracks and showed "basic" snow mountain courses.
But that was the E3 trailer. I remember seeing other ads of the game talking about the intense events on peak 3 and the storms and how dangerous everything was.
EA did say that this SSX was going to be different in terms of it's nature but still have the same gameplay we all know/love from the previous SSX games. And that can somewhat be seen with the way the character was moving in the trailer, especially during the turns.
FYI, each SSX game had a different vibe to it. While SSX 3 was over the top, it didn't have the comic book/tokyo megaplex/wacky presentation that Tricky had. SSX 3 didn't have as many unique courses as the previous SSX games did, especially later on in the game. The later races in the game were dark and very intense having you race against avalanches while going through ice caves with parts of the ice breaking underneath you.
Like am I the only one that remembers the races in peak 2 & 3 being that way? Peak 1 in SSX3 was more reminiscent of how SSX Tricky was compared to the other peaks.
