Battlelog and now this. Good form EA.

Online leaderboards always seemed like an after thought and i've never really given a crap about them. This evolution is a welcome addition.

Looks good. Anyone played any recent SSX games to let me know if they're any good?

There haven't been any SSX games this generation, except for one on the wii I think... it's a series reboot.

Onit like a car bonnet! Man, I am so fucking excited for this game. Loving all the competitive stuff they are adding in, too. Reminds me of Burnout Paradise a little.

Sure, that's all neat... if you have friends who are really into that game and grinding for high scores/lap times.

I had the same problem with Hot Pursuit, and getting new friends from random dudes who only have that game in common kinda defeats the whole concept of friends, I think. A StarCraft 2 style ladder, or some other game-specific, match-made instancing would be a much preferable option for me.

So they've turned SSX into Trackmania?

Thats pretty cool actually. I prefer racing ghosts to just a timer.

They probably would have had to bump up the ESRB/PEGI rating to use that term.

Developer commentaries are ruining trailers. I miss the time when I could just watch a 10 minute Metal Gear Solid trailer without anyone yapping through the entire thing. Even if it was edited to hell, at least I spent all my time looking at the actual game.

The collission between the boarder and the snow seems a bit off. I would like to make an arrow in the knee joke, but I can't, since there knees seem to be in the snow for the most of the time...

Still wan't to play it though.

So I have ghosts and AutoLog? COOL!

Also, he only mentions gold medals. In SSX 3, the best times that SSX developers could put up used to be the Platinum medals. They didn't SHOW Platinum medals on the menus, though. You just had to end up getting them. Therefore, I'm curious if Platinums are back in the game or if Gold is the highest you can get.

Nonetheless, I'm still so goddamn psyched about this game! I don't care what the fuck else comes out this year. SSX is going to be my 2012 GOTY.

Misread it as 'hunt your friends', which sounds like it would be a lot better.
