SSX Gets “First Descent” Domain, New Game?

We’ve been moaning about a new SSX game since the last, so it’s with great delight that someone has picked up some new domains, registered by EA, that clearly point to a brand new SSX title.

I adored the SSX games, especially the first two, but feel EA lost their way once they decided to focus on a single mountain rather than individual levels, losing some of the identity and addictive score-based challenges in the process.

Here’s the list of newly registered domains:

We’re thinking First Descent is the best of the bunch, and with rumours circulating that Criterion are involved, hopes are high that this is a return to form.

  1. SSX = Sick Game!!

    • Little bits of semi-digested carrot everywhere. Nice.

  2. Finally a good snowboarding game

    • how do you know it will be good =P

      • SSX + Criterion = Good snowboarding game ;)

  3. Typo in the subject there btw, changes the context somewhat

  4. SSX3 is one of my fave games ever, hopefully they’ll be able to nail it again!

    • Hopefully. If this is a new and if it’s half as good as SSX3 was then this will go down a storm with the SSX fans.

  5. YES! SSX games were awesome, I can not wait for this.

  6. Loved SSX, used to play this all the time. This is welcomed

  7. Cool! I loved SSX! Especially the third one. I liked the open world style of the whole mountain. I thought they’d lost their way a bit with ‘On Tour’ though…

  8. SSXDeadlyDescent sounds awesome already

  9. This could be the game I did a survey on. It was a snowboarding game.
    It talked about multiple real mountains taken from Google Maps, an Autolog type feature and some different approaches to gameplay.
    Sounds about right.

    • If it is that one and it has all the things they were asking about it should be a very good game.

  10. That’s a sweet funky dog manuva !
