You guys could at least give the game the benefit of the doubt.

It's just a trailer after all.


Why?

It's going the complete opposite direction of what the fans of the game like about the game.  It would be like if Nintendo released a trailer for Donkey Kong Country set in the styles of Gears of War.

"Instead it looks we're getting more of what made the past few SSX games bad."

Aren't you implying that the game looks bad?


I'm implying that it doesn't look like an SSX game.

The name of the game shouldn't be so important.

For SSX fans waiting years to get this, the name is very important.

Huh. I thought i was the only one thinking that. "What is this climbing/survival game that's calling itself SSX?"



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Well I'm a SSX fan too but I welcome change. As long as it's good. But I can't judge that from a trailer.

I agree that we can't judge the game simply based on a trailer, but the trailer does worry me that SSX is going in a direction I don't agree with.

We'll have to wait and see.  Hopefully I'm wrong.

You can say that all you want, but what if Uncharted 3 were a puzzle game?

What if Gran Turismo 6 was something more like Farmville?

What if Tekken 6 was a platformer?

When they say "there's a new SSX game!" there's a certain expectation.  That expectation is not a gritty realistic xtreme sports game.  SSX games aren't about that crap.  They're trying to turn SSX into a sim when it is absolutely not a sim.  Not at all.

The moment you try to make SSX realistic, it fails.  I'm expecting nothing more than a working, bare minimum effort, bland snow boarding game. 

I'll be shocked if this game has any personality what-so-ever.
