It’s fair to say that the information announced so far for the relaunch of the SSX series has received a mixed reaction, particularly from long-standing fans.
All the talk so far has been about the primary goal being survival as you race down to the mountain, not just to race or have fun but because of risk of blacking out in the thin air, along with the fact you have to stay in the sunlight because of the freezing temperatures. All very good but not very SSX.
EA have released the first developer diary which in the eyes of existing fans should rectify a few of these perceived wrongs.
As you’ll see the emphasis is now on the ‘three pillars’ of gameplay – Race It, Trick It and Survive It – which has an altogether more SSX vibe about it as the developers go to great lengths talking about how the new game remains true to everything that made SSX so great originally.

I’m looking forward to this a lot more after watching that!
I’d still love it if they brought out a HD remake of 1-3 as well though!
