It seems like the majority of people were completely turned off by the SSX trailer that was shown back at the VGA's. As a long-time SSX fan, I wasn't super excited by it, but I was willing to wait and see. The more that comes out about it, the more I like it. This is still EA Canada, the same people that did the games you loved. And from you can see in this video, it's alot of the same actual people at the helm.

Looking good, can't wait. I knew this was going to be one of those "let's wait and see" type of situations. Everyone who dismissed the game based on the trailer was judging it way to early. I've got high expectations now, and I'm actually optimistic, can't wait to play it.

Eh, people forget that SSX3 had the whole "survive the mountains" type of deal with every peak. 

Also, they've dropped the "Deadly Descents" subtitle.

New concept art shows some hints at some of the crazy stuff we loved about the previous games.

I'm excited and I know Sean Coonce is fucking stoked. 

" @Marino: Great link man, thanks.

I've always kinda been suspicious of that debut trailer. Part of me couldn't help but wonder if they did that on purpose to get people saying WTF -  nothing gets the internet buzzing quite like a "THEY FORGOT THEIR ROOTS!!" story.But I digress, I'm totally ready for a great new snowboarding games and SSX had delivered as much as any....I also can't help but get a little excited when hockey and snowboarding games are made by Canadians :) "

I zoned out when I heard the guy say "The awesome power of mother-nature" but am generally pretty excited for this. SSX tricky is one of my favourite games of all time :DD

...and kinda sorta forgot to provide any context. "

Maybe it's just me being cynical, but it seems to me that they took a lot of stuff back to the drawing board after the very negative feedback that the announcement trailer brought about.  There is far more color in the stuff they are showing now.

I remember playing the hell out of the first games back in the day. I really hope this is as good as those.

Awesome, it's been forever since I've played an awesome snowboarding game.

I'm optimistic (mostly because I just want a new SSX game). No doubt we will see more at E3.

Looks great. I loved SSX 3.

" Also, they've dropped the "Deadly Descents" subtitle. "

I thought the write-up for SSX in EGM made the game seem really awesome.  Can't wait to see how it turns out.

They caved Once word from the first trailer gt to them and thank god, that shut was disguising

They caved Once word from the first trailer got to them, and thank god, that first trailer was shit

Looks great, I miss SSX.

The title is an improvement, but until I see Eddie I'm not giving them one good goddamn inch.

Totally agree although Elise is also pretty good "

" @Marino: I saw this stuff the other day and breathed (word?) a huge sigh of relief. Looks like a lot of the original guys who built Tricky and SSX3 are working on this project -- and it really looks like they're headed in a great direction. 

I am getting very excited for this game. Whaddya think -- will it drop this holiday season?

Please tell me all the characters won't be in those fucking snow suits and masks the entire time.

There is no point in having different characters if they all look the same.

Never saw the first trailer, but the article in a recent EGM sold me. I still think they should have dropped the SSX name.

To me, SSX means whimsical. This game does not, and should not be.

" Please tell me all the characters won't be in those fucking snow suits and masks the entire time.There is no point in having different characters if they all look the same. "

This is definitely looking up after the first trailer. That one left me in a raging, foul mood.

It sounds like the outfits are going to be customisable and offer different attributes, much like an RPG. "

This is EXACTLY what I want to hear from these guys. Seems like they're really passionate about it, and I love that! 

I'm pretty sure I am the best SSX Tricky player ever!

January 2012 is so far away. I need more jiggly orange 'fros doing silly "flying squirrel" tricks in my life.

And Moby. Lots and lots of Moby.
