The SSX Series - I'm gonna quadruple backflip off this cliff - Games

Well hotdamn. After the demo, the IGN review and actually trying out snowboarding myself a couple months ago I must say that I am so getting this! also dat soundtrack.

Also Moby Jones 4lyfe [editline]25th February 2012[/editline] Everyone that wants someone to play against when the game comes out, feel free to add me on PSN.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElTJWELRzsA[/media] Footage of the Global Events multiplayer! I absolutely LOVE how it looks, if I'm not missing anything then I'm pretty sure this is basically Trackmania's multiplayer but with snowboards!

The demo is really, really fun. I have to buy this.

Managed to score 10mil on the Trick track (albeit my friend has 13mil :()! Now just gotta get a really speedy time on the Race track! :dance:

I feel like it's way too simplified and mass-marketed. SSX Tricky was amazing, and this just seems like it's trying to hard. I can't quite explain it. Maybe it'll grow on me but it seems too easy when the board gravitates to the ground and you can't crash unless you purposefully land on your head. The lack of consequence is a turn off. I feel like if I just mash buttons I do tricks and yippee for me. I know there's a system of grabbing and stuff but I'm flipping around so fast I can't tell what's going on. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's cool that it's really fast-pased though, I enjoyed the sense of speed even though it's a little hard to tell what's going on sometimes. Maybe I'll like it more when I can customize my characters or I feel like there's a reason I'm playing the game.

Sucks that Eddie's exclusive to Gamestop pre-orders, still, I can't wait to get some of my music into the game. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzbJJwcQyfM[/media]

Jealous for the people getting it in 3 days, gotta wait until friday in the UK. It's gonna be awesome though, no doubt. I spent like 2 hours on the demo and that was on 2/100something tracks, so I'm sure I'll get my money's worth!

Hopefully I'll warm to it - particularly if I amass a nice little friend list

I will be playing this during the Survival tracks [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCtQmwJ1WAY[/media]

Downloaded the demo with no expectations. This game [b]blew[/b] my mind, I played the game on the psp a few times. But this game is insanely fun and I will surely buy it on release. Also the survival mode sounds thrilling. Besides I love snowboarding.

[QUOTE=Antwon;34870153]I will be playing this during the Survival tracks [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCtQmwJ1WAY[/media][/QUOTE] That and the on-the-fly remix system = amazing.

Which control-method do you guys use? Im using the buttons, but I may switch to the classic SSX controls...if only I could remember what the controls back in the PS2 era games were like.

Been wanting another SSX for so long, played the demo and it has not let me down. Great great game! Anyone know what songs are in the demo?

Boo ya! After constantly re-dropping the damn Race track I finally managed to take 1st place in my entire friends list! 1:59:56 hell yeah! I would've gotten 1:58 but I got so excited and wiggled my joystick too much :v: damn I feel so happy, now this is an accomplishment! 2 hours well spent.

Tuesday could not come sooner. This demo is great but I need MORE CONTENT.

[QUOTE=Legolas;34875041]1:59:56[/QUOTE] How the fuck? The best I can get is 2:05. Atleast I got 17 million on the trick it drop :v:

Yeah, the Race It event is so damn hard. I always are a few seconds behind gold. Any tricks on how to complete the race? I do tricks to refill my boost and usually just rush down the hill.

Yeah, I figured out that those tunnels are a pretty good shortcut but I always miss them because I am boarding to fast.

[QUOTE=-Xemit-;34864702]Glad they didn't make it realistic. The demo is freaking awesome although I'm not as good at this game as I used to. But still, this game rules. If you need someone to try to beat your scores, add me on psn.[/QUOTE] Added you. [editline]26th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=junker|154;34875583]Yeah, I figured out that those tunnels are a pretty good shortcut but I always miss them because I am boarding to fast.[/QUOTE] Are you on PS3 or Xbox?

Xbox trisixxty

[QUOTE=Da_Maniac_;34875548]It's about finding the fastest way down, there's some tunnels on the track that give you a huge advantage.[/QUOTE] The last tunnel, at about 500-700m from finish, is freaking OP :v: when I started using it I knocked my times down from 2:17 to 2:05

So the Multiplayer is basicly Trackmania? What about splitscreen though?!

[QUOTE=BloodYScar;34876912]So the Multiplayer is basicly Trackmania? What about splitscreen though?![/QUOTE] No splitscreen :( My best time on Race is 2:05 too. I've always been better at the trick events though, I guess I just need more practice. I'll add people on PSN who've preordered or are getting the game - if you next play before me though feel free to add me first. ID is ThisIsAntwon.

[QUOTE=Jackald;34877013]I like how local multiplayer is one of the things a lot of console players cite as a reason why consoles are superior to PCs, but fewer and fewer games these days do local co-op. I couldn't find a single 4 player co-op racing game on Xbox. Nobody's made it in 7 years of the console being out!??[/QUOTE] You're right, even early games like Burnout Paradise had that Party Mode thing instead. I don't mind that much, I don't like playing with half a screen anyway.

Tried the demo yesterday. That Tricky remix isn't as bad as I thought it would be. To sum my time in the demo: "IT'S VERY COMPLICATED *does backflip Flying Squirrel over helicopter* AND WE DON'T [I]QUIT[/I]"

[QUOTE=Jackald;34877087]We had 4 player splitscreen on horrifically grainy poor quality nintendo 64 and ps1 games where everything was blurry and you couldn't see shit. So now that we have 1080p televisions and hi resolution graphics, the consoles can't handle splitscreen any more?[/QUOTE] It's like that so they could sell more games.

Dunno weather to buy it or not.. I can't get gold on the race track let alone beat the time I set the 3rd time I played it, I think it would piss me off after a while if I couldn't beat silver
