I still don't understand why EA BIG isn't making another SSX for the PS3 and 360. SSX, Tricky and SSX 3 all of rating over 90% on GameRankings so obviously the reviewers loved them. I loved those games. Why the hell just end a franchise that was filled with awesomeness? They really need to make a new one.
SSX
The SSX style is the arcade style, over-the-top snowboarding franchise. The title stands for "Snowboard SuperX," with the X being pronounced "cross" to be rebellious and hip.
Where's the next SSX?
You know, that was the one game I really hoped would appear on E3^^
None of the games in the series have been bad, I actually even liked SSX blur (great controls and music imo), but ssx 3 is infinite win.
They should make a game for the 360 and ps3 with the same open-world type of thing that they did in ssx 3 and burnout paradise, now with online support (like shaun white, only better). Come to think of it, I think the DJ atomica guy in Burnout Paradise made a reference to SSX once in that game, saying that one of the characters from SSX was not done yet, or something like that.
I was literally thinking of posting this today.
I'd love another game I used to love the old ones, and could do with a fix.
" Yea I liked Blur as well. But I definitely think it could have been done better.
I'd love to see a new SSX game. I loved Tricky, and lost a significant portion of my life to SSX 3. I get the feeling that by the time On Tour and Blur came around, though, EA might have been seeing diminishing returns from the series, sales-wise. Also, didn't they dissolve the BIG brand not too long ago?
Kind of old news but I was looking for this exact answer a few days ago. Found an interview with Alain Tascan of EA Montreal:
Q: Looking at some of your other franchises, are we going to see another SSX?
Alain Tascan: Ah, SSX. We have a big catalogue and we were talking about what people like. I think this is something we will look at in the future to see if it makes sense to revive the franchise.
Q: Well, SSX was a very popular franchise and has a lot of fans – at the moment do you think there's sense in bringing it back?
Alain Tascan: It's a little bit early to talk about it, but I feel... I know internally it is a franchise that people love because it was successful and good, and it reminds me of when we were young, and I feel if the market is there and is ready for a new one then we'll consider it.
It's not a definite yes, but at least there is hope. Link
The last game was on Wii - SSX Blur, and it was pretty darn good. I really hope they get to work on a sequel to that game, it's one of the best snowboarding games I've ever played, the basic controls felt great.
