I have been hoping for an HD version of SSX3 since the "next-gen" consoles came out (5-6 years ago!) Very excited.

Wow, this series has come a surprisingly long way. I kind of shocked.

A modern SSX game in the former SSX style (fireworks, blaring music, stylish characters) would be BEAUTIFUL.  Kids 'won't look at it with nostalgia', but they will be absolutely awestruck from a game styled like that made in 2010/2011.   What kids won't be interested in is a 'boring dramatic' snowboarding game. 
 
Either way, they should just ditch the 'SSX' part of the title so the 'Deadly Descents' game can kinda flop by itself, instead of flopping and taking a loved franchise out with it.

This looks like a parody that someone would make about the trend of gritty drab-colored games.  You know, along with a parody of a brown Mario game, and a gritty Sonic reboot.  Then we'd all watch, and laugh and laugh...
 
That's what this is right?  A parody?  This can't actually be real.  Can it?  Please?

@Juiceboxxx: Fans should speak their mind on the content that is presented. If I think it sucks, I'll say it. It's better that way, both for the developers and the fans. None of the sides likes if the opposite holds back on info; it simply isn't productive for anyone.

Yes, let's judge a game on about 45 seconds of teaser for a game that's a year away.
 
You know who was in Tricky?  David Arquette.  Do you want David Arquette to be in your game?  You certainly do not.  I loved SSX3 and Tricky as well, but that was over 5 years ago.  I will admit "Deadly Descents" isn't jiving with me.
 
If EA can make this into the Burnout/ Motorstorm of snowboarding games I'm all for it.
 
Also on the chopper is named Elise and has a painted image of her on it.  Don't think anyone called that out yet.

Maybe this shitty trailer is an elaborate joke by the makers. Like in a week they will release the fun, colorful, real SSX trailer with a "Gotcha!" at the end. 
 
Yeah right. That would be too cool to be true.

SSX is like the Tony Hawk games. There was a time and a place where there were good games, but that time has passed, and these franchises should die.

All the other SSX games are garbage as snowboarding games, so I'd be glad for the only franchise around these days to make a good game for the genre.

Because as much as I love the 1080 games, I don't want them to make one for the Wii.

This wasn't the answer I was looking for, EA! Not one bit!  
 
V = check 
X = fail 
  
[X] Personality
[V]Extreme mountains 
[x]Over the top zanyness  
[X] Boosting 
[X] Fantasy settings
 [X] Super Ubers
[X] House/D'n'B music   
[X] Likable characters

Thanks for ruining my favorite franchise. 

And no, I'm not waiting for gameplay, because this is the first showing, and I assume EA wants it to show the vibe of the product they're making. And  the vibe I'm receiving is so very very wrong. 
 SSX is dead to me now :(

Well I like the look of the mountains and including a squirrel suit is pretty awesome. Don't get me wrong I so want another SSX tricky but this could be one to look out for.

Even if you want to wait for actual gameplay to decide, you have to be worried considering that THIS is the method EA decided to let people know that SSX is back. If it was really going to be anything like the old ones, they would have just had to show Eddie, Mac, and Simon about to jump off a big ass ramp. Instead we get this snowboard for you life crap. Only reason I'm still interest is to see how much the have shat on the old SSX.

This. 
 
Also if you mute this trailer and play some Run DMC over it, it's slightly better.

Clever.
 
Will this be another PoP: Warrior Within? Potentially great but still hated by earlier fans?

If the game ditches all the fun over the top arcade goodness I'll be disappointed. It might still be a good game on it's own merits, but I'll still be wishing for a return to SSX Tricky and SSX3.

You know what? If you play some techno music behind this, it could pass for a normal SSX trailer.
All that's missing is the music.
