SSX Blur Screenshot Index 2/21/07

[gondee]

I was looking at the screenshots again on 1up.com, and I don't think ANY of the people we've seen so far have been returning characters if I had to take a guess.

The faces are all generic and so is their gear, I think these are all created characters at this point.

Take a look at the "Mac" lookalike's face here:

See how generic it is? And there's some funky black dude in one of the other ones with white hair and a white outfit too - weird, and I doubt Moby would ever dress like that. I think these are all CACs.

This game is looking like SSX 3 snowboard kids I think the game will be pretty good... not as phenomenal as an SSX 3 or the SSX's before it.. but will be funner than On tour.. mainly due to the controller. But I do not have a Wii and do not plan on getting one. So unless it comes out on the xbox 360 I will have to wait until a new SSX

[Jonipoon]

Funnier than On Tour... definitely.
But fun enough? That's the question.

[MAD_JO3]

.. which will be answered when the game's out!

[vix]

yeah, and oddly enough, it's only two months away.

Yeah, it does look like SSX Snowboard kids, but that might be a good thing, I'd rather have an immature SSX than another On Tour.

I think we'll have another cross-console SSX, I do. I think it will be either late next year or early 2008. I heard a report say that EA is finally understanding they can't just pump out annual versions of games that are inferior and continue to be the market leader - hopefully they'll take that lesson with SSX and put adequate prep time into a real version that everyone can enjoy.

Added some new screens but not all of them since some of them seem to be from the first trailer.

[smack]

if you ask me (wich you didnt) i think it looks like all the ssx games mixed up

[gondee]

New screens describing the control scheme on 1up.com:

GAH! I hate that 1UpYours.com site! I can't view any pics there. Oh well. We're probably going to buy the system and game eventually, so I'll know sooner or later.

[vix]

1up controller pics are up.

[66jzmstr]

1up controller pics are up.

Thanks, vix!

(The pics are at the end of the first post in this thread, if anyone's about to get lost for 'em. Just a heads-up.)

They definitely haven't updated the bolt-on's yet, as the Capita board in pic 58 is from one or two season's ago. (Capita makes rad boards though, so I'd welcome them to stay - Rome, too.)

Looks like Griff in the uber trick pic

[alpmaster]

Is it just me...


OR DO WE HAVE UBER TRICKS BACK???? Thank god, Monster Trick was so bad as a cool ass name for a cool ass trick. Ugh, thank you.

[vix]

We know the monster moment's are still back though, based on the first trailer. Hopefully ubers and monsters are now two different things...?...

That sounds wierd in my opinion.

Still, it look like ubers are back.... with monster moments? I don't see the reference.

[vix]

the first trailer shows the character getting big air and doing a trick where the camera pans and time slows down: a monster moment.

ubers might now be able to be done instead of doing monsters.

[whaleyboy]

I like the direction they are going with blur. There will always be a place for the other SSX games, but this looks like it'll be great fun as well.

[vix]

New screens up from IGN...

How to do uber moves(you "draw" them with the wiimote).

[gondee]

Thanks vix.

I see Kaori, Nate, Moby, Mac, Allegra and possibly Viggo/Griff in these shots. There's a blonde there that doesn't look like Elise, but I'm not sure who else it could be outside of Viggo.

[vix]

I noticed Nate is back to normal. I guess he came out of the woods. What number do you think griff/viggo is?

[gondee]

Down in the lower left of 75 and left middle in 74. Doesn't look like Elise, looks like a guy.

[vix]

It's possible, it could always be one of those new characters too.

[gondee]

I guess it *could* be Elise - it looks like that character has boobs here:

But they also have that high collared coat that Viggo wears as well. Still, I think it would be a cold day in hell before they put Viggo back in the game again, since this is SSX's greatest hits.

[vix]

yeah, those look like boobs and hopefully the good kind and not man boobs.

When you went on the ssx3 weekend, didn't the team even say then they disliked viggo?
