SSX screens show Elise, actual bright colours

Following news that it won't release until January 2012, EA's put out a bunch of new SSX shots showing fan-favourite boarder Elise.

sweet now show us Psymon and Zoe and i'll gladly slap down the cash for day one.

[Marcus Fenix]

they can have justin bieber and I guarantee u a smash it amoung kids, anyway I've been waiting for a new SSX game like 4 ever and when they 1st announced this game with that chuck norris direction I was severely disappointed, but now that they're makin it the way most fans like im so happy but still this game isn't comin out in 2011

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

Actually they haven't changed anything from their initial announcement. It's just that you and a bunch of others overreacted.

At least they're going the DmC route.

[FunAndGun]

Well, they did drop the :deadly descents tag line you know.

[gravemaker]

possibly the best game this generation for me

[petko23]

where is mac? he was my favorite

[Gen0ne]

I was thinking the same thing. He's a staple in the franchise though, he'll be there... he better be.

[DragonKnight]

Man, why'd they have to make Elise look so damn generic? That's why Tricky is still the best. It wasn't trying to be a "serious snowboarding game" it was trying to be an arcadey, off the wall, "man look how much air I'm getting" kind of game.

I miss Eddie's Afro, Psymon's spiked up hair, Elise's endowment (lol). Hell, the only characters that even remotely looked like boarders were Mac and Moby. Why is it lately that newer games end up being more generic in a lot of ways?

[soundslike]

Are you really gonna stamp your feet and QQ when the game comes out simply because it doesn't meet your "ideal visual style representation of characters"

ffs chill out

[DragonKnight]

Umm, you're the one that responded in an over the top manner. If you like generic characters, have at it. Some of us like actual character to our characters. Maybe you shouldn't keep your expectations so low.

[soundslike]

QQ

I've played most of the SSX games and enjoyed them all, but never did I once think "man if they ever make that guy's hair less spiky I'll boycott the game"

Save the judgements for the gameplay. Could it suck horribly? You bet. I sure as hell can't tell from a few screens posted for damage control though, and neither can you so stop kidding yourself.

[DragonKnight]

Hey, if you want to play "Generic Snowboard Supercross 6" go ahead. The rest of us prefer some flare and character to games that goes beyond simple gameplay.

I guess you love CoD right?

[PygmelionHunter]

If it's anywhere as good as Tricky, it'll instantly be a must have.

[Gen0ne]

I think they should release a retro dlc pack, that lets you use their Tricky and SSX 3 outfits. I really don't care if now they dress more winter appropriate. It's not real. Gimme the old unrealistic stuff. Also, bring back the fireworks that go off while you jump. Unlockable Rahzel for nostalgia purposes or the RUN DMC "It's tricky!" sound clip. Keep it fun guys. Enough with the gritty shit.

[DragonKnight]

Completely agree with you 9412389412734891236748907% +Bubbles for intelligence.

[soundslike]

lol wow, just wow

you guys are hypocrites, you want the game to be less serious, yet are HELL BENT SERIOUS about making sure it isn't...

its giving me a headache

[DragonKnight]

Then leave. Bet no one will care.

[Godmars290]

Oddly feels a bit like damage control to me. A make up for the para-military theme of the announcement trailer.

Don't know what they were thinking when they showed that.

[Quagmire]

They were always going for this style, you mustve misinterpreted the CGI trailer

[Godmars290]

Looked like COD on skis to me. To everyone else too by general reaction. Then EA almost did a blitz of new info which lacked any of the survivalist traits of that trailer.

[sjaakiejj]

I think a lot of people jumped the gun a bit early, the announcement trailer was only there to show what was new in the game, it wasn't there to represent a serious change in artstyle. Given the amount of time between the announcement trailer and now, it's fair to say that there just hasn't been enough time for the developer to completely change the style to what we're seeing now, so it's a good assumption to say that this was the style they had all along.

[danielle007]

Yaay! I am so excited now. :D It actually looks more like a proper SSX!

Zoe better be there. & Griff. Thanks. :D
