Seece said: This horrible rumour must die, FGS Criterion, I want a new Burnout!
It's already dead, but damn it, I want a new SSX Tricky!
I doubt we would be that lucky, it would probably be another semi-open world SSX that would be just as bad as the last few. -_-
As far as I'm concerned the series ended after SSX Tricky.
I think SSX 3 was the best of them all, although I did love Tricky. They need to play on the friends/foes thing more, was a good idea, build different reputations for the riders as you play. I know when I snowboard, theres some people that are fun to ride with, and other people that piss me off (snaking my line, etc)
Really? I agree, the friend and foe stuff was fun but the skiing down the mountain to pick your course was a terrible idea. I just want to pick my course and do fantastic things you could never do in reality, not ski down the boring mountain to pick my course.
It's more realistic to actual riding, as you choose your trail to get to certain destinations. But for those like yourself, who just want to start a course, you could use the Transporter on the start menu to be teleported to just in front of the event.
It's interesting, since the days of the SSX games, some of the fantastic things you could never do in reality are actually becoming reality. Snowboard videos now have tons of 1-foot tricks, some have NO-foot tricks, Ive even seen someone kickflip a snowboard off of a jump.
It's a game where a 300 pound redneck flies 50 feet into the air riding his snow board. SSX ISN'T ABOUT BEING REALISTIC!
You do realize that's completely realistic, right? Not that my friend is a redneck, but he's pushing 280, and can get some sick air.
If you think SSX is in any way realist you're just delusional. The last SSX game I played I had Kaori where I could jump of a small bump and do a triple backflip.
SSX games just aren't based on realism and that's a good thing. If they were realistic they wouldn't be half as fun as they are. They're fun because you get to do fantastic things you would never ever see in real life. What isn't fun about them is traveling down the boring mountain to get to the fun parts.
-edit-
And, really, you think your friend can do this and not break his legs?
or this:
If so, I'll eagerly watch the winter olympics expecting to see all of that.
