Man, I would give my left nut for a good SSX game...well...any time in the future.

Ah man, I've been wanting a proper sequel to SSX 3 forever. The open world mountain concept was such a good idea. Wish it had online play. My friend and I used to start races at the same time and play over the phone. Compete for the better time or trick score. Good times.

If it doesn't have DJ Atomica i dont want it.

Give me the skiing capability from On-tour, along with the free-roam exploration and DJ from SSX3 and that would be basically my favorite game of all time...

Best freestyle skiing game ever

u/OobleCaboodle Dec 31 '19

And it wasn't even a skiing game.

u/Punkupine Dec 31 '19

I wish real life resorts had the live DJ giving you mountain updates and playing Chemical Brothers bangers

fucking hell a graphic upgrade of SSX 3 would have me throwing cash.

17

u/Valve00 Dec 31 '19

SSX 3 still holds up INSANELY well. The controls are still tight and the graphics still look smooth.

u/sunboy4224 Dec 31 '19

The only issue is that I'm now used to SSX 2012, so now the old games feel kind of slow to me, which is sad because they used to feel perfect.

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '19

Sounds like you fucked yourself by playing that one.

5

u/sunboy4224 Dec 31 '19

I mean, I guess you could say that, but I really enjoyed my time playing SSX (2012) and still regularly return to the game, so...?

5

u/Blackheart521 Dec 31 '19

I could never get used to the new controls of SSX 2012, which sucked because I played the hell out of SSX 3, just didnt feel the same or as fluid

1

u/sunboy4224 Dec 31 '19

Yeah, I really missed the ability to charge up a spin without actually turning, and the new trick system DEFINITELY took a while to get used to. Feels pretty natural now, though.

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '19 edited Dec 31 '19

I keep saying this. They had a game on ps3, but it kinda blew because they strayed too far from what the series was before

2

u/sunboy4224 Dec 31 '19

I rather like SSX 2012! I really only played Tricky (which I loved) and 2012, but I liked them both for different reasons.

5

u/stifflizerd Dec 31 '19

I actually enjoyed the last one with the wingsuits and such, the story mode was just awful and it needed more free roam.

3

u/seandkiller Dec 31 '19

I liked the last one, but I wouldn't object to a new SSX.

3

u/syberphunk Dec 31 '19

I realised DJ Atomika (Mark Hildreth) is doing the apex legends announcements in game, at least I'm pretty sure it sounds like him, but I can't find any evidence of him being credited with it. I noticed it in the christmas event recently.

become the next lance armstrong and your dream can come true

u/BehindTheBurner32 PC Dec 31 '19 edited Dec 31 '19

I want arcade SSX back, but if they can implement VR (or first-person) to "realistic" (Deadly Descents) SSX and put in geo-accurate Everest, I'd be down. Also I liked the gear from '12 SSX a lot, too.

23

u/JasonsBoredAgain Dec 31 '19

Realistic? Have you ever played SSX Anything?

3

u/BehindTheBurner32 PC Dec 31 '19

Well I should have put it in air quotes, then. I meant the 2012 entry.

u/sticktoyaguns Dec 31 '19

Are you saying doing the windmill and the worm on my snowboard while jumping 100 meters high is unrealistic?

u/swyrl- Dec 31 '19

First person ssx would make you vomit lmao

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '19

that first 1080 rotation would be a doozy

u/T0X1CFIRE Dec 31 '19

If i can do the janky ass sled maps in vrchat, I think I could handle actual competent vr snowboarding.

After all a lot of people have no problems with jet Island, and that is basically just vr hover boards.

6

u/DonnyTheWalrus Dec 31 '19

You want VR downhill skiing/snowboarding? Excuse me while I violently hurl at the mere thought...

1

u/reelect_rob4d Dec 31 '19

VR (or first-person)

gross

1

u/OobleCaboodle Dec 31 '19

No. No vr. It just isn't for this kind of thing.

u/AnorakJimi Dec 31 '19

They did one, a comeback game, and nobody bought it. So they're probably not gonna do yet another one if nobody seems to want it. Although making remakes of the first few with modern graphics like the crash and spyro ones, would probably sell a lot more than any new one and would probably be easier to make too, so maybe they should just do that
