SSX

EA gives us a nice Christmas gift. This game looks fucking sweet.

Yeah I'm pretty pumped now. A far cry from it's initial debut.

Hmm... While it's close, I think Dead Island still manages to take the lead in Most Misleading First Trailer. This looks wonderfully crazed.

Suck. My. Dick.

This and Bioshock Infinite are about a month apart I think, so stoked.

God that looks fun to play.

Day 1.

good to see they did a 180 from that original trailer, my status upgraded from "pass" to "cautiously optimistic"

The only thing I'm concerned about is how they're so excited about having 78923792679 different courses. I have a hard time believing that the level designers can possibly make stuff that compares to earlier games when they have to deal with so much content.

From what I've read it sounds like the system they have for developing mountains is based off of real life GPS and then put through some kind of randomizer, so the mountains come through as familiar and semi-realistic in scope but then are obviously tweaked for gameplay. I think I read 150 drop points for the different runs, I'd venture to guess that some of those points will lead to races and/or trick sessions so it's not like a ridiculous number.

OR maybe someone shat their pants when they heard the outcry and said hey, lets delay the game a bit and make what will sell instead of brofist mcdeathrace.
