IGN Livestream is going right now. I put in a question, I hope I get picked and win a copy

 

[Pungza]

Is there a photomode in replays? I would tweet but don't have twitter

 

[Net_Wrecker]

The menu looks a bit bland. Quick enough, but a kind of boring. I don't need Codemasters style excess, but some background art of the characters would've been a simple way to give it some pop.

 

[StrikerObi]

Damn, I asked a music question but they pulled up somebody else's. Oh well

Edit: Oh nice, you can set up separate soundtracks for different modes. That's awesome. I'm totally doing that.

 

[Zabka]

Jesus...it plays like it has permanent trick boost.

 

[S1kkZ]

i hope you can turn off the "tricky" sound when you go into tricky mode.

 

[soultron]

i hope you can turn off the "tricky" sound when you go into tricky mode.

One of the reason I prefer 3 to Tricky is because, after playing years worth of Tricky, I hated hearing "IT'S TRICKAYYYYY!!" every 5-10 seconds. I'd enjoy the option to toggle it on/off.

 

[JaseMath]

I want this game so hard.

 

[Fantastical]

You can recover your board without rewinding? :O

 

[soultron]

Holy shit, bails are hardcore.

 

[Fantastical]

That DD looked wayyyy too easy.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

This is the 360 Version, any sign of Mt. Fuji?

Batty really stated you can set it to "Default" where it plays for like 10 seconds every time you get into the Super Tricky mode, "Always" where it plays the whole time you're in Super Tricky, or "Off" where nobody has a clue what happens when you get into Super Tricky. I'll probably turn it off so I can always hear my custom soundtracks, but I'd hate for there to be no sound notification when I enter the super tricky state.

 

[StrikerObi]

It's probably the easiest one. It's "gravity". Every track has gravity... the others have other things going for them.

 

[soultron]

That DD looked wayyyy too easy.

Hopefully they implemented the hardcore challenges. When I spoke with some of the devs they said they wanted to reward players who didn't use gear or used it very little.

Thank goodness. IIRC, gondee was one of the most vocal about turning it off when we visited. Haha.

Are they still using that shitty Dubstep remix? Because the original song should definitely be an option.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I have no problem with the "TRICKYYYY" when you initially hit the tricky state, but having the songs cut out to play Dub Step Tricky for 10 seconds is a bit annoying.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

eee that music sounds coooool

 

[RichardAM]

So much SSX.

Love this stream right now.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Seriously.

This Is My Skyrim. I may never stop playing.

 

[Bgamer90]

Just started tuning in now. Hope I didn't miss much.

 

[StrikerObi]

Just started tuning in now. Hope I didn't miss much.

It's probably going to end in like 15 minutes but there is a Giantbomb stream starting at 3:00 eastern.

 

[Bgamer90]

That's really cool how the screen freezes up like that.

I'm a sucker for special effects.

 

[soultron]

Love the freezing shade DD. It was an awesome mechanic in BFBC2, although it was breaking into houses to warm yourself by their fireplaces. Haha.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Yeah, that's pretty sweet.

 

[Bgamer90]

Oh sweet. Thanks for telling me.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I'm not crazy, right? The old logo was SOOOOOO much better, right?

 

[RichardAM]

The Antarctica DD actually looked pretty fun.

 

[soultron]

I'm starting to wonder if bails are tuned a certain way for DDs to make them easier/more fun. Landing mid-way through an uber almost seemed to cancel the animation/skip tonnes of frames. The stream's quite poor quality though, so I could be seeing things.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I'm tired of seeing Mac in every piece of footage. We got a bit of Elise and Moby gameplay here, but still.

People are saying you can just outright STOP tricks by dropping the buttons. That's what looks like is happening to me.

 

[Bgamer90]

The old logo was generic in my opinion.

The new logo fits the style that the older SSX logos had.

 

[Slayer-33]

SSX IS BACK GOD DAMMIT.

I think it's like that in every mode of the game. When he was playing earlier I was stunned at some of the tricks he was landing. I think they may have done it so that as long as you aren't holding a button while landing it will automatically land.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

lol oh wow, there's a guy called TANE!!

[Bgamer90]

Ughhh... I hate how the Tricky dubstep remix interrupted Houdini.

 

[soultron]

Haha @ the purple epic items. You can see the WOW/MMO influences.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Holy god, that drop.
:0

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Jeeeeeeeeeeeesus that New Zealand track is crazy. HUGE jumps.

Well that's good at least.

 

[Bgamer90]

Are the pieces of flair score multipliers?

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Yes, but is it something we haven't played before? I see these videos and it all seems very similar to past games. Looks like a fun game, but one I have played before. I hate getting old.

 

[StrikerObi]

Stream cut out for me. Oh well. I go to lunch in 5 minutes so I can watch the GB stream uninterrupted

I'm in class and have the sound off, so I'm missing all of the dialogue. :c

Hopefully there's a penalty of some sort for canceling animations. I dunno. I just want the game to reward players who can (cleanly) land tricks.

To be clear, they didn't say anything about it. That's just my guess.

 

[ezekielpacman]

So it looks spectacular and all, but as mentioned above it looks a challenge to actually NOT land a trick. Hoping that's not the case...

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Ha, I hear you, but this really seems like taking SSX places that couldn't have been done last gen. The sense of those last few drops, I don't know if you could replicate that with Last Gen tech.

It looks like basic old school SSX gameplay, sure, but enhanced with all the cool shit you couldn't do back in the day.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

What I dig the most is the social/competitive aspect. As long as it isn't too easy to do something amazing, I think the fun will be had beating others runs.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Well, the Giant Bomb guys are going to be demoing it soon, right? If they're playing then you'll get a very good idea of just how easy it is (or isn't) to screw up tricks.
