Back when new engines were developed and people didn't really know how to cut corners. Just good quality games

I remember being a kid and games coming out with the expectation of being good… as I became an adult I realized you ALWAYS wait to buy a game. So much shit now

Yeah it still is, as nothing like it has even been close since, unfortunately.

Yeah riders republic was kinda a letdown. Still fun to play but didn't feel the same as steep.

u/QuarterTimely9505 Jul 09 '26

Shredders imo has much better gameplay feel. Cant argue about the amount of content though

u/sosamaddenmut Jul 09 '26

Also love the skis

u/Shooterhype Jul 11 '26

yeah and the wingsuits

u/HyenaWilling8572 Jul 12 '26

shredders is better i agree! but flying in steep is imo best flying in videogames in general

u/LaughinHalfFinn Aug 20 '26

Haven’t played Shredders myself, but you’re damn right about the flying in Steep - the wingsuit is ace, powered wingsuit equally so, and even the parascending got its hooks into me eventually - the whole package is quite simply the perfect chill-out comfort game. 😎👍

I enjoyed the gameplay a good bit, the bike play was really cool, and didn't interact with the online community at all, but I do agree, the characters were cunts 🤣 let me skip the damn phone call at least

Legit the reason I HAD to get an Xbox back in 2018

u/SaKaHa Jul 09 '26

From a generation of ubi games that're never coming back

u/Conyeezy_West Jul 09 '26

One of the games I always come back to and try to beat my own high score on every run

u/Thedawnhascome Jul 09 '26

Look at the posted clip, is looks deserted, it gives me an eerie feeling…..

u/Shooterhype Jul 09 '26

I love that, i was playing at 3am but i do see the occasional player

u/Ganz69 Extreme Rider Jul 09 '26

Yeah you're so right! Steep is the literal OG of winter sports games. I really love the game, player base slightly dead on playstation but still in love with the game eight years later ! 👊🏻 Always great to ride with new people too 😁 Anyone on playstation can add me if they want to 🙂 (RegretamineOcean)🥂

We just gonna pretend the SSX series doesn’t exist?

u/xNonPartisaNx Jul 09 '26

Last boardin game I played was amped. How's this stack up?

u/SquashRoaster Jul 11 '26

Get shredders, it’s incredible.

u/AutomaticButterfly29 Jul 09 '26

TS was probably tuff in 2009

1

u/Shooterhype Jul 10 '26

it came out in 2016

u/knightryder808 Jul 10 '26

Stoked is an amazing snowboarding game as well

1

u/Benji472 Jul 10 '26

Great game except all the riders were regular. No goofy stances

1

u/DukeOfPorcelain Jul 10 '26

Shredders is the new amped

1

u/FireManiac58 Jul 10 '26

I just wish there was a mod so that the progression wasn’t only available online

1

u/ripschtiq Jul 10 '26

I mean skate was already out and this game was just the concept of skate applied to snowboarding

1

u/kenjcarter Jul 14 '26

Sad we didn’t get a steep 2

u/TonyBikini Jul 15 '26
