@SpaceInsomniac: I actually haven't put anything in yet. Getting music onto my xbox seems like a real hassle. I'd probably throw some Deadmau5 in there, more Qemists, some Daft Punk, and maybe the Drive soundtrack. I can't get enough of that one.

@BPRJCTX: Haha, you're reading maybe a little too much into what you're finding on Google. I definitely didn't design all the tracks - there was a huge team doing a ton of work to bring everything together. Also, I totally can't comment about future plans for the franchise / what's happening. Sorry about that but it's just the way it is.

My gamertag is insatiablegames if you want to add me.

@SpaceInsomniac: Sorry man, I can't really answer questions about what we're doing for the future.

@ultrapeanut: One of my favorites too :)

@BPRJCTX: No problem dude. I was the lead level designer, so I sort of worked on everything. I helped on basically all the mountains in the game in some respect. I'm Tom Munro in the credits if you're curious. Hopefully this one sells well and we get to make another game :)

@Cincaid: Haha, I wish I had more codes, but I only got one of every kind.

@MethodMan008: Yup, glad you like them and glad you like the game!

Wait...

So, you're actually a developer?

You worked on SSX, and you post on Giant Bomb?

That's awesome!!!

DId you work on SSX3?

Cos if you did, i'm gonna send you a basket full of gold as thank you.

BTW, can you send me a Zoe code? Please?!

Anyway, thank you for helping in bringin' this series back.

I'm from Europe, so i'm getting it the day after tomorrow, it's damn painfull to see most ppl on my friends list and over here playing it.

Yep, worked on the game from start to finish. Huge Giant Bomb fan, Tuesday Bombcast is one of my weekly rituals. Makes the commute a hell of a lot more funny.

I didn't work on 3, before my time at EA.

I actually do have an extra Zoe code that I can hook you up with. PM incoming.

I think you are just reading too much into them. They're supposed to be light-hearted and give you something to chuckle about while it loads.

Ye, it's not like I got offended or anything, more like "that's a wierd thing to say". Guess I'm just too used to the more "neutral" hints we usually see. It's not like it's trying to hide that you can read it different ways, but I guess clandestine just hoped most people would see them as humorous :P

Yup, I just figured since they're sort of a staple that we could have a little fun with them. They were actually a fair bit weirder at one point so it's probably best that they got toned down :)

@MethodMan008: Yup, glad you like them and glad you like the game!

Hush is the backcountry darkness drop right? (I should really know this, I always get that and Incoming mixed up). That's definitely the hardest from a pure frustration perspective (although no rewinds survival is pretty fun on it I think).

I wrote all of those... I enjoy how weird they are. Hahahaha.

Yeah, it's pretty damned hard. It was something we struggled a lot with during development. Totally understand if it's not your cup of tea. The easiest way to get through it is to not worry about doing the traditional spins / flips that you'd do in the air on other tracks. It makes you switch up your strategies. Take it slow, too.

I hope you find other stuff in the game you enjoy though :)

@clandestine: You worked on it! That's cheating. As a general rule of thumb is it better hold tricks for longer or get more tricks in. I can't see the difference in the balance.

I only got 19.9 :) I want to keep it friendly!

It's better to hold tricks for longer. I'm not giving you any other tips though, I want to keep my lead for a little while :)
