Excellent news. I am excited. Did you see at the very end of the video Elise is approaching a LOOP in the middle of the track. Sweetness.
Since "Mt. Eddie" is "Tricky themed" I really hope we get another mountain that is SSX 3 inspired (maybe name it Mt. Allegra or just straight up Big Mountain).

Did you guys see the teaser video for the new DLC?

Looks pretty good to me.

This is gonna be so good. Got my SSX juices flowing again after a few weeks of not touching the game (not due to boredom though, just busy)
EDIT: WAT @ the Gold Medal score. That run must be like 10 minutes long.

Ooh, nice. The ubiquitous death pits and human-pinball caves turned me off even more than I thought and I haven't played SSX at all for some weeks now, but this looks very good indeed. My wallet is ready.
So we're sitting here trying to beat this grudge match. I'm hearing people say that you can go to another event, change Zoe's equipment, and back out, but that is absolutely not working for us. Nor is finishing another event with the equipment we want. It seems like we're stuck with this trick-oriented board.
Anyone?

I don't really understand what you are asking here..

I just started the Kilimanjaro area. Man, what were they thinking with this series of runs? It's completely frustrating.

I just stopped playing the single player and focus on explore mode, fuck the rest. Also global events..

I understand that completely. Those parts of the level design really poorly alter the flow of the game
For the final race (Zoe against Griff) in World Tour mode, the game skips the equipment selection screen. I've searched around and read that if you change Zoe's equipment in another event, that equipment will carry over to the Griff race, but it seems that no matter what we do, we're stuck with the same board. I'm wondering if there's some specific event we're supposed to be looking at to change Zoe's equipment.

Never heard of this exploit before.
If you just want some tips and tricks, and see a good racing line, watch this video:

It helped me a lot.
No death pits, Batty confirmed it on Merq.

I'm looking forward to the DLC, but judging by that teaser video, the one key thing it's missing is the cheering crowds. It's part of what made SSX's atmosphere so grand, IMO.

Getting back into the groove for the DLC, and man I just realized I haven't played like 70% of the drops yet :lol. I'm so afraid of death pits ruining my fun that I just stick to the tracks I know
Neuromancer

If I had to guess Id say death pit tracks outnumber normal tricks 3:1. There are still a fair amount though, someone in this thread I made a list of my favorite tracks (most of which were non death pitted).

Has the DLC characters been revealed yet? I'm going to be pretty hyped if we get classic Eddie.

So I've got a lot better at this lately. I'm not great, but I'm generally getting down the mountain with one combo which feels great. When you're flying it looks so fucking awesome, I just wish it was on PC for all the extra visual bells and whistles.
With that said, the death pits are killing so many courses. My girlfriend and I both hate them. It just ruins the flow so much and having to look for your way around a huge hole isn't where the fun is in this game.
I'm glad the DLC has got rid of them, but I won't be buying it.

DLC music announced. Pretty excited about those two songs.
More DLC gameplay, this time with Zoe:

Only 3 music tracks? A little disappointing, since they're adding an area with 9 drops in it. It would have been nice if each drop had its own retro music track.

DLC needs to hurry up. The new track looks so good. I know some of you guys like the backcountry SSX3 look that most of SSX 2012 has, but Mt. Eddie is my kind of SSX. I love the fact that it looks like a course that was man made. Not nearly enough of those in the vanilla game.

word, I'll take SSX tricky style tracks over SSX3 tracks anyday...

Tricky and original SSX > SSX3, I'm sorry but it's the honest truth.

Hey SHREDDING BROS,
Todd Batty (kingbitty on reddit) will be doing an AMA on the SSX subreddit this coming Monday (April 30, from 1-4 PM PST) and he wanted me to let you know. So feel free to ask any questions and make any (crazy) requests for future SSX content!
I'll link it here and in the new DLC thread when it goes live!

Pretty bad pricing on the dlc, pretty much forced to get it as a bundle.
Tokubetsu
Member
The bundle isn't even badly priced though so what's the problem? They could have easily charged over $10 for this.

I don't see why you wouldn't just get the bundle.

Great news. Thanks for letting me know.

Yes. Its awful. Soultron of course loves it. =p

Probably the worst track in the game. I've tried enjoying it but I just can't. Sentinel isn't much better either.
Yeah, I do love it! It demands perfection. The feeling of successfully pulling that run off is amazing.
I've been playing a lot of Dark Souls lately and completing OSA gives the same sense of satisfaction I derive from dismantling a hard boss in DS.

I love the "checkpoint" style gates with the fireworks stream. Makes the jump anticipation that much better.
Might have been cool if the controls were tighter. I find it unbearable to play right now.
Hype restored. Closer to the classic SSX style than the other videos so far.

God damn I want to play that DLC right now.

At least with One Step Ahead you know what you're getting. I hate the caves and other tracks where you cannot see where the pits are and they seemingly put jumps in places that are going to send you into a pit.
Imagine OSA with low ceilings!
Snake Bite? LOL
