You can swap them to the classic controls? I did that immediately after the tutorial.

Link please. I saw the pics on Merq but couldn't find the video.
When it was asked if 360 owners would ever see Fuji on the SSX Ubercast with Todd Batty, I'm pretty sure he hinted at it happening, then got told off by someone in the room with him and started saying 'no comment' and laughing. Can't remember his exact words but it sounds like it's something you'll definitely get in the future.
I believe not. Even if it does come, I imagine it will be months down the road, if not as part of a goty edition and/or for extra money. So its a better value up front on PS3.

Ha, I'm in the same boat as you. Haven't played an SSX game since SSX 3, but I loved Tricky and had a ton of fun in the SSX demo. Just preordered it last night.

Mt Fuji would be nice but, in my opinion, the Xbox controller is superior for this game so I'll get it for the Xbox.

Ugh we're going to be friends on PSN for this game, aren't we? Noles v Gators on the digital slopes.

Why would I care to with gameplay I dislike? If I felt I was in full control, I'd bother trying. But as is feels like I'm simply guiding a cursor down a mountain with automatic flips and spins and miraculous lands.
And no, the super spins didn't hook me in and make me say "awesome, dude" and keep going as was probably the intention. It more distracted me and I kept fighting it to see if I can take back control.
What specifically do you prefer about classic?

Nothing. It's overly complicated. I'm just too used to it. ;_;
I spent an hour trying to figure it out and kind of got it, but because I couldn't spin with the D -pad, it felt too loose. Kept getting square and R2 confused, too. I want to compete, so I may have to learn.
Fair enough. It had been so long since I'd properly played an SSX I adapted quite quickly. Muscle memory made me use the D-pad initially too. I actually find going back to classic harder now, the new controls feel smoother and quicker to me. I don't use the right stick though, I struggle with that.

Can't play the demo yet and still excited about having a new SSX that looks fun and really fast, but I'm still really concerned about many design decisions. Characters for examples : I'm a huge fan of the series and when I look at OP, there's only two characters I can recognize from the go : Eddie of course (and love his new design) Zoe from her face painting and Kaori because she's asian but she doesn't look anything like her. Psymon looks like Nate. Same for Mac... etc...
Also OP, her name is Alex, not Alexis. Alex in short for Alexandra in french, when Alexis is a separate and only male name (even if it has gone female for some reason in USA)
Finally, from all the vid I saw, is it possible to miss a landing when doing a trick ? The game doesn't already got rid of balance on rails (that wasn't even hard to begin with) but how assisted trick reception is compared to other entries in the serie ?

Great OT Soul!
I'm grabbing this for the PS3- Jrod87 is you guys wanna add me.

Really? The characters have definitely lost some definition but they're still all pretty unique. Nate's not even in the game and everyone looks pretty individual, I could probably tell them apart TF2 silhouette style infact, going by their menu pics at least.
You can still bail, it's just harder now. As long as you time letting go of the trick right you'll pretty much always land it. The punishment for not landing right is more about the direction and speed you land now, rather than simply just landing the trick. Land facing the wrong direction and you can really fuck up your flow. That's how I see it anyway..

Well, my problem is that I think SSX had very cartoony and distinctive characters. It worked because the game was, a no point, trying to be the slightest realistic. Riding mountains, doing 2160 rotations with a girl in a jetpack, tiny short, hawaiian shirt or whatever : you could. Now the game looks more " serious " in his chara design and all riders wears snow suits so it makes the shapes less distinctive. Or maybe I'll get used to it...
Well she has always been the best character, so that makes sense.
Not being able to easily boost while grinding or doing a manual are the two things that put me off classic controls.
I don't want to have to contort my fingers to press X/[] and Y//\ at the same time for boost grinds or press X/[] and the right stick for boost manuals.

Question is: are you bad enough dudes to be bestests friends with me. I will oversign you Florida chumps into oblivion. Or at least into the ACC.

I didnt have any problems, well just once - on the first loading screen when you need to press X to continue.
It didnt react to button press so home button and quit game, then the system restarted.

omg. just got 32,165,792 on Bulldog in the the PS3 demo.
From the demos, iIs there a consensus on which version fares better? Not sure if it's my imagination but the PS3 version looks slightly lower-res, though the menus run smoother.

Dawg, you's a champion!
I wish I was a huge trick person but I'm totally a race fiend.

Yeah I can totally see that. You'd need a big multiplier right off the bat (probably x6 or better using the one of the first grind rails, in the first 20 seconds or so) and a perfect line.
edit: I saw that you read it - I am nowhere NOWHERE near that
heheThe game clicked with me too finaly. When I begun to play I was mashing buttons, but now I press one and hold the other, tweak them, use nose tail slides and dont forget yall...
FLARES ARE THERE TO CONTINUE COMBOS!

No, 30fps, but play it. Competitive as hell. I am happy that I am in my top ten. Not going to kill myself pursuing first place on my list..

Renders at a rock-solid (99% of the time) 30FPS but registers inputs at 60FPS.
Just tried the demo finally on my PS3. Holy hell this game is amazing. I'm glad I'm getting it on the 360 though because I'm constantly holding R2, and I hate that my finger keeps slipping off.
Anyway, I found my first run I was doing terrible. Partially because I was constantly holding down which made it difficult to steer so I was confused. I fixed that, and the 4-5 runs later I was having so much more fun.
I have one question though. I'm supposed to hold R1 to activate the flight mode right? Well I tried, and nothing happened...

That was just tutorial. Did you see that you have wingsuit equiped at the character screen? Not available in demo tracks/modes.

Now, the super high scores seem like they are exploited ..... or valid. But this raises some questions about them.

Oh snap.
This wouldn't be an issue if they kept the reset button that killed your combo instead of the rewind mechanic. Just sayin'.
So it's not available in the demo? That's a bummer.

RiderNet will be FUBAR on release. I hope they developed this game with a "Wipe all scores" switch.
On the bright side that exploit won't help in most modes, just trick it. But yeah, that NEEDS fixed.
I'll test this tomorrow since my advance copy is supposed to be arriving before noon and see if it's in there. In any case, I'm sure it'll be fixed in a Day 1 patch. (You know those ones where you get the game, pop it in, and then it tells you to update? No word if it will affect people who decide to skip that prompt/are not connected to the internet, however.)
Good thing is that this won't affect Global Events once it's fixed.
So that's what that is. I've experienced this effect but didn't know what the hell was happening.
