I'm worried about SSX: Deadly Descent

 Imo, until we see gameplay, it's impossible to judge the new SSX. The fact is games that are quirky and vibrant don't sell any more, so they unfortunatley need to give this game some edge and grit to make it appealing to the mainstrean. It's a shame, but as long as the core values of SSX are there, as long as the racings fun, the tricks over the top and the atmosphere isn't too dark it'll be fine.

 My fear is all the levels will be a range of different shapes of black and the characters will be all serious :/. 

 It amuses me everyone thought this trailer was a Battlefield 3 trailer initially.

the best selling game ever made happens to be a current gen sport game with a art style which isn't photo realistic at all.  Sales from Japan (where it wasn't bundled with the Wii) show Wii sports still would have sold shit loads if it wasn't bundled.  If anything, SSX should have gone down that route.

'quirky and vibrant' still sell very well, it's just seems that not many are on the PS3 or 360 and those which are, most are not retail games

 Aye, I couldn't be arsed to go into specifics, but obviously I was talking about the PS3 and 360 market that the game is on. I'm sure SSX as it was would sell okay, but EA have seemingly made a conscious decision to aim this game at the people who buy COD, Assassin's Creed, Fallout etc, which is undoubtedly the biggest market on the HD twins.
