I'd love to strangle the president of EA

JSR had style, this game has schlock. And yes, the fact that the guy is white is the main reason it's so godman lame. EA is too PC to give a black guy a boombox. Remember, they even called themselves the Disney of gaming.

HAHAHAHA...oh wait, you were being serious.

Apparantly no one can remember Beastie Boys circa 1986.

Yea we all remember 1986. The point is EA is way too lame about their pop culture references. I mentioned their excessive overuse of afros on player models.

Why not just give their snowboarders some big fish tank shoes and a big purple pimp hat with a peacock feather in it? He can be white too, why the hell not?

Just because you use camp doesnt mean you know what you're doing. Case in point:

Yes, it's lame, because white people should never be allowed to carry boomboxes on their shoulder, nope, never. The game, whatever it is, probably SSX 3 by the looks of it, looks nice.

Oddly enough, it was the big gold chains that were the breaking point for me. The boombox is stupid (really, really stupid) but the chains were the crowning poser bit on the character model.

No two ways around it, the character design is a big bag of suck.

SSX developer EA Big is located in Vancouver where 90% of homies are white. Does it really matter what race the character is?

I do agree that the character is lame. I didn't like Combo either.

Red Cloak, nice edit there. Should the race of the character matter in this case? Not really. It's a decent design at best, not great. Certainly nothing original, but not really bad.

I'd like to strangle these two.

This thread would have much better if piku had locked it after his reply.
