Those "scores" are actually how many meters they've descended. Once you reach the bottom you start all over again. The runs get progressively harder until you die. The final distance descended is your "score".

I see now. Thanks for the clarification.
I posted my thoughts in the demo thread about the L2-grind feeling awful to me; being way too hard to line up and pull off, while the red rails are way too magnetic. I don't know why they didn't find a middle-ground and use the same principles for both tree-trunks and rails.
What's the feeling been on this matter in this thread?

I need to watch a 1 minute mark video to see the route they take. Also I feel like the auto grind rails hinder more than they help when racing. The trees would be nice to grind on, but they are too rounded like someone said earlier. Griding on the side of rough rock faces really helps though.

Absolute agony watching him fall after that huge combo.
Yeah, I was watching that too.
Is crashing the only thing that makes you lose / reset your combo or is it based on amount of time between tricks also?

The little arrows move inward on the score in the center of the screen. Once they reach the center your combo is over. The amount of time it takes to move inward is based off of the difficulty of the trick you performed previously.

Well its confirmed, this game has officially got me. I found out today when out of nowhere this kept replaying in my head.."TRICKY...they say I'm overrated, they say I'm overrated" hahaha Yup I just found my new game crack...2012 SSX.
I am in absolute love. Just finished WT.
Did some simultaneous/live Global Event stuff with some guys from the dev team while we talked over party chat.
You need this game.
Try not to spoil yourself by watching videos, guys. I went in fresh and was pretty surprised by a lot of the level design. Some big smiles plastered across my face while playing.

That Silver achievement you got, was that just for tracks in the WT? Or have you already done every race event in the game?
Sorry if this has already been covered, but I've gotta know...is the difference between rotation speeds between Classic and Standard fixed in the final game?
I'm doing OK in the demo using classic, but it's very apparent right off the bat that the standard has a huge advantage.

I'm not actually sure. I've been too engrossed in the game to pay attention to any achievements and/or medals I've been getting, to be honest.

It's confirmed fixed in the final release.
Awesome...thank you. I'm curious, was Classic slow, or was Standard just too fast?
SSX Ubercast Episode 22 (~30 mins)
Demo talk and CharmyDweeng (who also got the game early) discusses a bit of what he can about the full game. Charmy drops real talk.

Wish you could mix the normal soundtrack with customer tracks in the races instead of choosing either/or.
That's why I've mixed songs from the soundtrack into my own custom playlist.
Good idea, guess i'll probably end up going that route (especially since the demo songs have really grown on me).
I'm not actually sure. Even if I knew, I couldn't say, sorry. I was extremely satisfied with it though.
I'm pumped for all of you guys to get your hands on it because then Explore and Global Events become turf for us to fight over. That's where the real meat and potatoes of the game is. c:
I know I'm tight-lipped guys, and I apologize, it's just the way it is. Once I get the go-ahead and the embargo lifts, I'll be an open book.

Honestly I don't know. I'm going to assume standard was too fast only because the 2 characters you can choose are only at level 4 of 10. If they spun any faster it'd be a bit ridiculous...but that's just me.
diamondstar
Member
Is that what it says? hahaha oops
I hope this is the case. Classic has a nice feel to it for level 4. Otherwise lvl 10 standard will spin way too much and way too fast to be attractive to watch.
Now I need to get a solid playlist onto the PS3 to mix with the SSX OST songs.

Giant Bomb's quick look is due for Tuesday at 12:01PM EST. That was probably timed with the embargo.

Man they've got you on a short chain.
Still debating canceling my preorder but it's getting down to the wire. What to do, what to do. Lack of reviews other than IGN's questionable exclusive isn't helping.

I seriously can't remember the last time I was this excited about a video game
Totally. I was just watching a film and every now and then I'd just start 'feeling' doing combos with my fingers. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

I really want some DLC a month or 2 from now. Then a year or so from now I'd like a sequel.

I spent a lot of time deciding on which version to get, and decided to go with the PS3 for nostalgic purposes.
The gameplay is pretty fun in the demo, so I'm sure to enjoy the full version.

It bears repeating that EA are fools for sending out copies to people they know are real fans of the series, and then telling them to shut up about the game. Instead we got guys who bought the game early talking, but the guys that should be EA's biggest SSX ambassadors are being told they can't say a word. EA, this is why you suck. Well, one of numerous reasons. It's like they don't ever feel like doing the smart thing.
And don't confuse that rant with me being down on the game. I just hate stupid sh**.
Can you make playlists while the flashdrive is in your 360?

Wouldn't that count as streaming or something? I was under the impression it HAD to be on the 360's main hdd for it to get mixed.

Yeah, hehe, I do this now and again for the heck of it cuz it feels kind of bad ass, especially in the middle of a flip.
That's partly my reasoning as well, but my main is reason is that the game just feels more comfortable to me on the PS3 controller when using classic controls.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind something like that. Maybe just one or two huge open mountains. And if they don't go that route, I'd love to see them stick with this style but just go a bit crazier with the locations (snow in Hawaii, for example).

The demo got me so hyped for this game.
Maybe it's because I associate the SSX series with the previous gen of consoles, but it just seems like games like this don't come out anymore. In my opinion the most recent one that feels like this was Burnout Paradise, which I also loved.
PS3 or 360?
