That's the rumor, coming straight from the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine. The title is said to be in development alongside the already confirmed "action" Need for Speed title that's set to ship this holiday.

Word of a Criterion-developed SSX started floating around awhile back when the company's official Twitter account dropped a mysterious message referencing SSX announcer DJ Atomika, as well as the "Peak 3."

A new SSX game? Developed by the Burnout people? Awesome. I was starting to think we'd never see another SSX.

I hope this is true.  Crazy snowing boarding action by the guys who make crazy over the top racing games.  Count me in.   :)

i loved the first few SSX games, but i dont know if i would like another these days, not really into racers anymore. Hell, unless the criterion nfs is "Need For Speed: Burnout" and plays like burnout but with licensed cars, i wont care much :/

 
Played the hell out of the first games. Hope this is true!

sweet been waiting for this since the hint in the burnout paradise demo :D

Coolio, But what happened to EA BIG?

I really hope this is true, but the twitter post that they reference was one of a mess of random posts by the Criterion guys. They were talking about a lot of games, and SSX 3 caught my eye the most. 
 
I don't trust much of anything that is said on twitter, especially from those Criterion folks. I jokingly asked them for something on Burnout Paradise 2 and got these tweets back from them: 
 
"@nukesniper It's set on the Moon. Obviously." 
 
"@nukesniper Lunar Challenges! Moonbase Alpha! WWII Bomber! Driving the 'Meteor Storm' lunar rover!" 
 
I appreciate them for being wacky and crazy on twitter though. 
 
Anyways, if Criterion is making SSX: Burnout: Need for Speed: Paradise, I need to buy four of them. Now.

They need to do two things to make this the best snowboarding game ever: 

1. Dual stick controls like Skate
   
2. Sandbox

Destructoid reports the next issue of Official PlayStation Magazine reveals a new SSX game, that's being made by UK Guildford based developer Criterion Games:

A new SSX game by Criterion for 360/PS3? Great

Finally. I love SSX. Let's hope this turns out to be true. And let's hope it's better than the last two SSX games...

About time we get a new SSX. Though they should drop Atomika and bring back Rahzel from the original games.

Oh... MY... GOD! If this turns out to be true... I... I dunno what I'd do but I would definitely be SUPER EXCITED!

I really hope this is true.

DJ Atomika? Nooooooo!!!!!! Other than that, this is interesting news, I enjoyed the classic SSX games.

Calling it : Daft Punk as playable characters. 

I played the hell out of SSX Tricky and 3.  This better turn out to be true.  It's been a while since I've played a good snowboarding game.  Actually it's been a while since I've played any snowboarding game.

I totally loved SSX 3 and before that I had played quite alot SSX Tricky. But then On tour came out and it seemed not like to much of an uppgrade so I skipped it, then came Blur and I read a review that said it had control issues, besides it was for the wii and I wanted it to look "next gen" so I skipped that as well. And then nothing came out. 
 
It took me quite a while to realize that incremental uppdates had been a part of the series since the beginning, and that expecting every game in the franshise to be a big leap forward was gonna end in disappointment. In retrospect I sort of regret not sticking with the series more. 
 
Anyway that was then and this is now, if a new SSX is in the works, then I am all for it. Bring it, I'm ready.

This is great news assuming 

1. It's more like Tricky and SSX 3 and less like Blur
2. Has local multilayer   

I.. I... cant express how... FUCKING EXCITED I AM!!! FINALLY! SSX! BACK! ok.. I think I've calmed down.. but dude.. fuck yes. 

So basically EA is going to DICE and Criterion and asking "Please make all our games!  We have no fucking clue what else to do..."
 
Not that this is a bad thing.

The SSX games was some of my favorite games last gen so this is awesome news. 

That drawing freaks me the fuck out.

" I hope this is true.  Crazy snowing boarding action by the guys who make crazy over the top racing games.  Count me in.   :) "

I loved...i mean LOVED SSX Tricky, everything about that game was just perfect. SSX3 was a great imporvment, less wacky but still awesome.
 
Never picked up on tour, think that is whats it called, because the direction that game went appeared desperate, stupid and total white with drawings, which is just a terrible ui concept.
 
I honestly hope these rumors are true!
 
Eddie, Elise and Griff! yeah!

Being an SSX3 master myself (and someone who refuses to believe that On Tour and Blur exist), I will say that I'm half and half about the idea of Criterion making one of these games. 
 
On one side, they know a lot about racing, and the racing portions of SSX3 in particular were pretty goddamn amazing.  HOWEVER, there was another part to that franchise:  tricks.  That's something that EA Canada knew and understood incredibly well (building their portfolio on games such as NBA Street, Sled Storm, Freekstyle, Def Jam Vendetta, and SSX).  This is the part that worries me about Criterion:  I don't know how well they can pull off the trick part of it all. 
 
Nonetheless, I would die a happy, happy, HAPPY man just to get a new gen SSX game that rocks fucking ass in the same way that SSX3 did.  That game holds an incredibly special place in my heart and always will, and I really want to see that return to form from someone at EA.  Hopefully, Criterion can do it.

I've only owned an played SSX, and I loved it. Hope a new one comes out.

I would LOVE to get back up on the slopes with Moby Jones and the gang.  SSX was my first PS2 game I got, and I've been a huge fan ever since.  I would love to see a new game made for the current-gen.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. If this is real, I can't wait.

I was just thinking that today how much I love SSX, when I was watching Men's Half Pipe snowboarding in the Vancouver games:) Man Shaun White is GOOD!

I love the SSX games, they're always good fun. I hope there's truth to this, it seems like a good fit.  
 
I've only ever played Burnout Revenge, which I liked a lot. I wanted to get Paradise...

That would be awesome. Hope it's true.

Hey guys, I was inspired quite a bit by this rumor (and this thread of course!) and so tonight I'm starting up a new game of SSX3 ... and you can watch if you'd like :)
