Look, it's waaay too early for a next gen SSX. Why would you want a rushed game anyway. The next gen SSX will obviously span all three systems, or maybe only 360 and 3. But this is EA making use of the innovative Wii and releasing something for fans. This is not really meant to be the SSX 5 all of you are thinking it is.

SSX 3 was my favorite one. I wouldn't mind too much a remake, as long as they make SSX 5 groundbreaking.

okay...so now that it's called blur are we going to see some BLUR or Gorillaz songs on the soundtrack?!?!?

The music part of it well.....a wellcome rehash of the good ol electronic style.
I wonder now if they are going to expand on the existing tracks from ssx 3 and the other games if they are included. are there going to be new areas?

Well, considering the fact I've only played ssx:3 once... I'd buy it if it was just a rehash.

Anyway, it's probably nothing but a tech demo they whipped up in their sleep...

I doubt Gorillaz will end up on the soundtrack...


I would hope you're right, alp. I wouldn't want a rushed next gen game, and I HOPE that this isn't just that. Because if this is supposed to be SSX 5, this IS the rushed next gen game. Hopefully this is just to show off capabilities.

Now that I think about it, it probably is just a tech demo. Think about it, the Wii is basically a Gamecube, take all this existing foundation, put in the Wii controls, tweak the HUD. And BAM you have a tech demo made in like week (who even knows if all they did was tweak the HUD? Did you see anyone with a controller in their hand?)

I'm still let down in a sense. If it was something totally new, I bet more people here would consider getting a wii if they weren't before. I thought about getting it for ssx if it was only going to be wii-exclusive. But to see a track being used for the third time, it just turns me off. Granted, it's a great track but blah.

At least I was wrong in saying it would mimic THDJ, it doesn't appear to totally do that which is a good thing.

if it's not a completely new game, i'm not getting it. i'm not spending over 300$ total just for a new version of ssx 3 (probably without marisol again too). fuck that...

Hey peeps! Okay, I totally believe with all my heart that Happiness was just in the trailer because they didn't have any pretty courses ready when they were putting together that little teaser. Same with the crappy twisty-monster-cam. I honestly don't think these will actually be in the game.

I mean, the characters look so different, and the style seems to be completely new (floating music notes emerging from the head?) sooo... why would they just plop the game down on a bunch of tired tracks with the broken On Tour camera system?

Riddle me THAT.

Actually, the character in the movie resembles Griff.

Wow SSX3 for the wii whoop de fuckin doo.

HD You need to deal with the fact Marisol will never be in another SSX Game just like all the other cool characters wont.

Cool? Marisol? Do I see something that's not connecting properly here?

I think they should five us 10 NEW characters instead of recycling the old ones.


Edit: It's "they should GIVE us", I'm just letting the "five" there because I laughed my ass off so hard because the typo is so damn funny.

No, fifth.

1. Original SSX 3
2. SSX Out Of Bounds
3. SSX for PSP
4. SSX for Gizmondo
5. SSX Blur



But be cautious. Maybe this trailer was just a test. Just because Happiness was in it now it doesn't mean it has to be in the final product.

Looks like SSX 3 with the Midway classic "Big Head" cheat on...to quote my best friend Kyle: ":eek wow...WOW..."

It looked like a little better graphical SSX On Tour with Happiness as the track. If there is nothing special out of this game I will not buy it. I felt like it would be doomed when it was said to be coming out for the wii. This is the "SSX5"... i've almost came to the point to where I think E.A is dead set on moving forward with this new "SSX feel" and they have forgotten what made the other games in the past.

If this is just a teaser than I don't think the SSX fans need it

edit - Sorry I was so negative but that Trailer did nothing but piss me off. Although, if it does have an online mode I will obviously buy it for competition sake.

What a shitty trailer. What were they thinking when they released it? It gives the impression that SSX Blur is just SSX3 with some elements from SOT, such as:

- more speed & blur effect (good)
- slow-motion Monster Tricks (very very bad)
- moving/panning camera while doing MTs (can destroy the game like with SOT)
- kiddy-like artistic menus/text (more annoying than cool)

Judging only by the trailer/teaser, it looks like SSX Blur wiill be another blur in the SSX series (no puns intended, honest).

Any ideas on what the "99%" means?

Ask yourself this... If SSX Blur is not another SSX3 remake/spin-off, why do they release a trailer that shows only an SSX3 track, thereby creating that impression? (If this is indeed the case, maybe this forum shouldn't exist...)

As for the theory that they used Happiness just as a test, I think that's very unlikely. It's possible they use Happiness as a testing ground, but there's almost nothing new in the trailer to show off, so what's the point of releasing the trailer, if it's not to show that Happiness is in the game?

I totally agree with you. I don't think they'd release the trailer with Happiness as the track just "because" - no there's some reason it's being featured. If they didn't have any tracks complete, they wouldn't release a trailer. I wonder if we shouldn't call SSX Blur "SSX 3 Tricky".

_________________

But it stays at 99% for the whole trailer. That would mean that the track is extremely long -- longer than SOT tracks. And considering that the run starts from the beginning of the track, shouldn't it start at 100%? It can't be that, unless it's just not functioning properly.

Yeah, 'SSX 3 Tricky' would be a better name, for what it appears.

It could be some kind of beta thing, it's hard to tell. I wouldn't read too much into at this point, maybe it's in relation to the entire mountain? Hard to say.

_________________

I think the reason why they had chosen the happiness track was, that it stays in relationship with SSX3.
You have something to compare and you(should/are able to) see the steps they made forward.

Or they just were too lazy making a new track.
