I dont know how to find that particular app. I liked the SSX facebook page but how do I find that thing.
I've already got this bug badly, particularly in race mode. Watching all the other riders zooming off as you're rewinding out of a pit is so demoralising I end up just restarting only to then fall into the next hidden pit I was unaware of till that moment.
Being stuck on a week with little free time I'm struggling with the gap since I first played this on Sunday till my next available time tomorrow evening.
Normally this gap in between playing a new online game would rile me a little but seeing other people on my friend's list playing and knowing that they're all no doubt grinding my less than impressive but hard fought scores to dust is making it all the more unbearable.

Oddly that just takes me to the standard SSX page. I dont see anything about Travis on there though.

this game gives me the weirdest craving to go play some skate.
They are made by the same guys right?

Dunno, but I loved skate 2's laid back atmosphere.

Hmm are you in the US? I think its US only.
Otherwise check the left side of the page, I see a link that says "SSX Get Travis Rice" 4 items below "Wall."

Black Box made the skate series. It's possible SSX's dev team had some of the ex-BB guys on staff.
Oddly enough, just yesterday I had a craving to play skate 2.
For their outstanding work on the Skate games Black Box was kicked out of their studio and forced to make Need for Speed games. Some of them could have moved to the SSX dev team, but I dunno. Trying to figure out who all contributed to any single EA game can be confusing as hell.

I always have a craving to play skate. Best control scheme ever, so logical. If you know what the trick looks like, you can generally just work out how to do it. It's the marionette scheme from AC perfected. And the simple genius of the L1 marker, find a nice stair set, and I'd be "L1+^"ing for hours.
Man, I love that game.
yes, a free ride mode and the ability to combine several tracks into one run would go a long way. i just wanna chill out.
EA if you are reading this:
Please reduce the size of the personal ghosts save data, or make it part of the game data and not game saves. On PS3 with Plus auto-sync of saves, the ghosts file is over 100MB of the 150MB storage we have. The actual save file with profile and unlocks is less than 500kb, but your second save file, including the ghosts is gigantic and unnecessary as a local save file. So please, make it game data and optionally exported for backup like LBP and LBP2.

Yes, it does, and yes, your own music is remixed in the same way as the game's soundtrack during airtime, grinds, etc (if that's what you mean by "dynamic"). I don't believe track info shows up on the screen for your own music though.

This thread is now the official Skate 2 |OT2|
fuck ssx.
fuck ssx.
soultron, we cool.
There wasn't even an OT for Skate 3. Tragic, really.
wait, so that travis rice is a real-life snowboarder? ugh, why are they making ssx more and more like real-life?!
bring back another ssx character from the past or make a new crazy one. it would really make me stoked if they announced dlc that was old-school costumes/appearances for all of the characters. psymon is an atrocity in his current state.

SSX is just as over the top as it always was, more so now actually. I would just think of this as an easter egg kind of thing, not anyone trying to take the series into a more realistic direction.
Personally I don't care about Travis Rice other than his character model looks cool, so I want it to unlock soon. More characters to choose from isn't a bad thing.
i don't know. imo, the game as a whole is more realistic than the previous games. i'm still loving the game, but come on! they added health to ssx and sucked 80% of the personality out of the characters.

Since I finished DD (won the surprise last race by doing it over and over till I learned the track off by heart), I've jumped back into explore. Got to upgrade two more bronze medals on the middle peak in NZ and then I'll have all golds and silver for that region.
Think I'll save all golds for a less frustrating region.

can you explain what is more over the top? i'm not trying to argue. i'm genuinely curious as to why others feel differently than i.
just rented this and completely forgot about the online pass (first game I've found with this feature). Played a couple of descents and it's a lot of fun. Was terrible at the demo until I realized that right trigger was boost - doh.
My muscle memory keeps wanting to change tricks while still in the air, tony hawk style - do you get extra multipliers for chaining different tricks in a single jump, or just stick with one trick per jump?
Had one of the SSX games on the GC, so first time playing this for a few years. Like the soundtrack too, and while I know it's not overly important - having an E rated soundtrack is good so my daughter can play it.

My PSN is the same as my username, Grassclipper. And I just realized I don't think I've even tried doing trick it on it. I set a gold time a race it, then I've just used it to zen ride or level up my characters via Geo Tags. Oh and cashing in on GE from it.
Stick with one trick per jump (make it a combo trick instead of a one button trick), and make sure to flip/spin while doing it. When grinding a rail, you should switch up your tricks every second or so.
It didn't prevent me from inching a few fractions of a second ahead of your demo time on the race
. When I take the plunge and get the full game I look forward to going head to head with you. Your trick score was killer. Not going to match you there.

Until the handling was fixed, I decided I wouldn't try to kill myself beating times, but rather destroy people like yourself in the trick events.
You should pick it up - you're good competition.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
I let my grinds go to massive also before I switch if I have enough time. I guess I'm not getting as many points as I could?

Heh, I was wondering why it said I didn't have enough storage space to back up some files whenever I turn my PS3 on each day. Thanks for pointing this out.

Do you mean how you sometimes really need to hit the analogue sticks to get a decent turns? If so I've noticed that!
Also there seems to be a bug in the music playing. The tracks will skip back and forth when doing tricks, in particular when grinding. Little one is that if I select restart more than a few times, the selector will go mad and circle through the start menu options over and over until the run reloads.
Grinds are good for building your combo count and multiplier, but don't give many points compared to air tricks so it's best to switch them up every second or two.

That's not a glitch, it's a feature. Dynamic remixing. You can turn it off if you don't like it.
I've gotten that menu selection glitch before too. Fortunately it doesn't affect anything, just looks strange.
I had some trouble half an hour ago but it only lasted around 10 minutes before the problem went away.

It's a feature really? I'll be turning it off then, it's distracting if anything.
Well the main difference is this game has highly exaggerated takes on real world environments while the previous games were purely fantasy in that aspect. This game is far faster with a physics system that, in addition to causing much frustration, allows greater freedom in the trick game.

I take great personal offense if I see anyone besting me in Race it on Broken Pass. That track belongs to me.
Not really though but it's nice to be on top.

I haven't seen anybody else mention this, but on the PS3 are the RiderNet menus INSANELY slow to load for anybody else? I hit select to pull up RiderNet and it lags for like 5 seconds before I can do anything. I don't even try going to my Rivals list, because navigating through that is nightmarishly slow. It has to re-populate the avatars for everybody every time I scroll down (or up) and moving between rivals has like a 1 or 2 second delay every time (even after the avatars are loaded up). It's basically useless...
