This is the first "official" gameplay trailer from E3 that we've seen. So far, I think it's come a long way and is definitely looking pretty sweet at the moment. The music, character style and tricks are all highly reminiscent of SSX 3, which is a good thing.

Screenshots:

Also worth mentioning, looks like EA is revamping the style/tone of the game from the CG trailer (at least a little). Even the logo change shows this.

Lost it's subtitle.

 

[Satch]

"Like us on facebook to reveal more characters."

Hey, you know what? Fuck you guys.

 

[Fantastical]

YES!

Looks like EA took fans' input on the title seriously. Looking quite good!

 

[-bakalhau-]

Alright beat me to it, but I can't think of anyone better to make the thread.

I think this is on track to be a great SSX game. Graphics are top notch too.

 

[Chanser]

When I first read it, I thought SSX is coming out on MAC.

 

[Vespene]

"Realistic" courses are ok, but I wanna see tracks like Aloha Ice Jam thrown in there as well. It's always cooler when the designers can concentrate on creating crazy moments without having to worry about keeping the environment plausibly realistic.

 

[CF_Fighter]

Looking a lot better, much closer to the SSX I remember.

 

[Replicant]

YES!

Looks like EA took fans' input on the title seriously. Looking quite good!

Yup. Now, if only Crapcom would do the same and ditch DmC and Ninja Theory.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

Fuck yeah Mac.

Game's looking good.

 

[ColonelColon]

When I first read it, I thought SSX is coming out on MAC.

lol, same here. It probably won't even come out for PC.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I hope we'll actually see some races sometime soon. I like that they've switched the marketing up and w/e, but it's time for some real gameplay. We've known about this game for 7 months and have yet to see more than one character on screen.

I believe some concept art pointed to some pretty crazy tracks. It was in one of the previous threads.

 

[Doogington]

Now bring back Rahzel.

 

[-bakalhau-]

 

[Replicant]

Now bring back JP.

Fixed.

 

[Atomski]

Looks a lot better than that shit they showed last year.

 

[Dartastic]

Looking good! =D

 

[DMczaf]

Looks a lot better than that shit they showed last year.

That "shit" is still in the game.

 

[HK-47]

I better be able to walk the dog, EA.

YOU HEAR ME!

They must read GAF.

 

[Paddling Ghost]

It's nice to see they've toned down the eXtreme. The return of Mac and uber-looking tricks has sold this for me.

 

[bridegur]

It's looking good. Hopefully there will be a nice balance of back country and city environments.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

They must read internet

Fixed. NOBODY liked that reveal trailer. They would've been nuts to keep marketing the game like that.

 

[disappeared]

Slowly but surely the internet is designing this game.

 

[Busaiku]

Slowly but surely the internet is designing this game.

I helped.

 

[xxracerxx]

I helped.

 

[DMczaf]

I really need to get a job in marketing if it's this easy to change public opinion while not actually changing the game.

 

[Fantastical]

They must read GAF.

They must read their own Facebook page. Or any message board on the internet.

Seriously, the announcement trailer was almost universally hated by fans.

 

[cuyahoga]

It's looking good. Hopefully there will be a nice balance of back country and city environments.

It's a snowboarding game. Typically those do not take place in the cities.

 

[bridegur]

It's a snowboarding game. Typically those do not take place in the cities.

It's an SSX game. Have you ever played an SSX game?

 

[HK-47]

Are you new to this series?

 

[cuyahoga]

It's an SSX game. Have you ever played an SSX game?

Yeah, and the "city" tracks were the worst parts of the games.

 

[dimb]

Slowly but surely the internet is designing this game.

To me it looks more like you're just designing the marketing campaign.

 

[seanoff]

Yeah, and the "city" tracks were the worst parts of the games.

this statement is incorrect!!!

 

[HK-47]

Yeah, and the "city" tracks were the worst parts of the games.

Oh shit, someone is wrong today!

 

[Elixist]

LOOKS SO FUCKING GOOD!!! Day one cant wait.

P.S: we needs some SSeX up in here for some giffage

 

[Fantastical]

Yeah, and the "city" tracks were the worst parts of the games.

Yep, you've never played an SSX game.

 

[les papillons sexuels]

reminds me of stoked.

 

[Data West]

is it dual analog tricks like Skate? I hope not. I hate EA's fascination with that

 

[Atomski]

That "shit" is still in the game.

The stuff they showed last year was dark and gritty. Also gave the impression someone was after you and junk. It also had a dude bro dumb name.

Now it looks much more bright and colorful and closer to the original SSX titles. I think they changed their mind about some of that "shit".

 

[Face it Tiger..]

FUCK I WANT IT ALL OVER ME.


All it needed was some chiptunes mang, and some fucking crazy ass tricks.

Just bring back the quater pipe, EA.

That's called marketing.

The dark and gritty deadly weather is still in the game.

 

[Frankenstrat]

HAHA OH WOW

I don't think you could be more wrong if you tried!

that said, that trailer is downright SEXY. Love the way the flips/spins are looking.

Also, I pray that eddie will be present in some way, shape, or form.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

That's called marketing.

The dark and gritty deadly weather is still in the game.

Reveal trailers = "Here's a quick 20-30 second look at what our general direction is."

Deadly Descent reveal was a mistake.

 

[FatBaby]

Should of called it S5X. What a missed opportunity.

 

[Fantastical]

That's called marketing.

The dark and gritty deadly weather is still in the game.

It is, but it looks to be just a mode. You can tell that EA actually made changes when the subtitle (Deadly Descents) become a name for a mode.

 

[DominoKid]

looks alright. wish they would've stuck with the original concept though.

 

[Elixist]

looks alright. wish they would've stuck with the original concept though.

 

[SolarPowered]

It looks good, but I kind of hope that we get some more color...
