Thanks to Jib for pointing this out in the character thread:

http://media.wii.ign.com/media/842/842200/vids_1.html

4 characters featured in the movie:

3 new characters - no nate or Tyson, surprisingly. I like the art style, and I'm very glad they went back to a character-centric approach. :yes

Yay, Moby is back as well!

WTF happened to Psymon and JP. They look so...wrong.

PS

Psymon+JP= RedTyga's avatar's long lost twin bro :lol

I hate to be the one to say it but those are all awful, awful, awful.

JP's been MIA since tricky, Griff since 3, wtf about bringing them back. Or least don't rape them further. JP and Psymon look awful. Griff is the only one that looks decent.

I'm almost glad I don't have a wii so I won't feel compelled to buy it.

I'm glad the characters are back and all but they got to stop ass raping them every chance they get.

I know I've seemed like a downer about the series since SOT but to me, SOT sucked and this isn't looking any better in terms of gameplay.

It's cool they listened and canned the CAC crap but come on...


Hopefully they won't look that awful in the game.

I've heard people calling for JP to come back on and off since Tricky. Griff I am surprised about but I'm glad he's back.

I agree a little about the art it's a little rough, but Vix, this is SO much better than the On Tour approach. The "slick but completely detached from the game" approach is horrible, this is SOO much better. They have PERSONALITY again! :woot :woot :woot

Oh yeah, I agree with that part. It's much better than on tour's approach but come on...they could have done much better. Maybe cause it's being wii-ified...maybe that's why they all look like they need massive amounts of botox. The character everyone said was griff in the beginning, ended up being mac. Personality is good and all but christ, who drew that? :rolleyes

Oh and I'm really surprised that the one character isn't nate cause he's wearing his clothes and everything....how strange.

:heh I think it's cool...I agree the art is a little rough, but it's cool. It fits the game. Outside of the character design of Mac (stoner) Psymon (Indian Moby) and JP (WTH happened there? He looks more French than grandmort now :heh)the character designs are cool. :yes I'll get used to the art.

This more "character-centric" approach is leaps and bounds better than On Tour's create-a-crap. Yeah, the art is hideous, but how much time are you going to spend staring at art versus seeing the characters during gameplay.

I could be totally off, but I would not be surprised if we never see these "badly drawn" versions actually in the game. They look like photos of badly drawn characters that have been pasted over the top of the game graphics. The non-gameplay incarnations of these characters that we see in the game could look more original SSX-like for all we know.

Again, I could be wrong on that last part, but it's still a possibility.

wow. I LOVE these, I might actually buy this game.

Skye got another chance, JP is like wtf they wereally went for the whole stuck up french snob theme there didn't they. Zoe's no longer goth meets emo which is great, Maya looks interesting, I love Elises look. So far I'm really liking the character designs. It makes me feel as though SSX3 and on tour never happened, which is great.

Nice character models I think.
Eww JP.
Eww moby.
Psymon!? Eww. But a bit less eww.
And Zoe looks really pissed off. Not even like a tough chick. Just pissed off :|

But still, this game could be brilliant if they game them proper character voices/scripts/ineractions.. whatevers.

It is weird that there not bringing back Nate and/or Tyson. They said they'll have unlockable characters, so maybe they, as well as other ones, could be unlocked.

Sorry, I'm a nate fan.

gondee, with this new character art cropping up all over the place, are you planing on changing the splash page to Blur style?

I actually like Psymons look it isn't that bad. Moby looks retarded though, what's Moby without dreadlocks.

Yeah G is there anyway you can pester EA, for actualy Character art and bios at all?

I kind of like the new character styles - but only in the sense that its very much in the Nintendo Style, if it were on any other machine it would not work. :)

My only gripe is Zoe......No rocker style, dyed red hair and a green polar neck that makes her look like a cludo board piece...no wonder she looks pissed off, or should that be wii'd on. :glare

Does anyone else think Psymon looks like Gene Simmons ;P

My initial thought was that Psymons face resembled that of Ganondorfs face.

My thoughts on the art:

Allegra looks like one of those people in those online warp games. Deformed head.
Elise looks...Asian?
Glad Moby's back. Seems to be getting blacker every game. Still have the accent?
Felix.....Mexican character?
Zoe now just looks like an emo schoolgirl.....not the Zoe we know and love
Skye....I don't know.....looks odd
Mac and Griff have good art....but those could be the only two.
Kaori, Maya, and Psymon(wtf?) look like they all came from the same tribe
Jp.........WTF? :heh

Gnarly! I think this is a cool line up for a game like Blur. I wonder if this is any sort of preview for SSX 5(or 6 or whatever)'s roster. In any case, I think that Mac looks awwwwesome. And JP is funnnny. Good job, EA.

I've asked, haven't gotten any response yet though. The index will be changed when the game is released. :)

Sure is different. It could definitely grow on me. Doesn't anyone remember the lame-ass drawings on the Character-select screen of SSX1? Or even worse, the "anim" boards?

That's what they reminded me of too. Odds are they won't be featured primarily in the interface...mostly likely on loading screens or what have you.

Exactly. We're probably not going to have to look at 'em much at while playing the game.

Psymon looks like a damn cereal killer, JP looks like a snob, Kaori looks fatter, and Moby looks naked.

I don't really like any of the art designs anf hopefully they won't really look like that in the game.

To me they all look like completely different people compared to previouse games.

Personally they look creepy and sadistic....
