Anyone curious to play SSX in first person?

Maybe I'm the only one, but I'd really love to try playing SSX in a first person camera view. I remember a while back Todd said they tried it during development and found it to be far too disorientating but I'd still like to try it, just for an extra challenge if anything. It would be pretty awesome to set the highest possible records in 1st person camera view. Trick events would be unbelievably hard (As well as making you sick lol) but I think the avalanche events in particular would be super intense in 1st person.

I'm sure it would be far too hard but I'd still love to try it.

I like my breakfast in my stomach thank you very much. Can you just imagine doing 6 flips and like 1440 degree of rotation?! I would projectile vomit eeeeeevvvveerryyywhere.

with the way everything is super sped up, you wouldnt be able to tell what you are even doing.

im glad they didnt

Yeah holy shit talk about super hard nausea mode. I'd give it a shot - in fact, it would be cool to have separate leader boards for this. Hardcore mode, basically.

I'd love to do that for the Survival runs where you can go slow and not do tricks, but hell no for Trick or Race.

Actually races are where I was interested - I just think it would be so friggin' intense. Pulling flips and spins to build your boost would be a major risk, but getting into tricky and holding boost for the majority of the run would be such a bigger rush. Love risk/reward scenarios like that, you might crash a hundred times but the one time where you stick it for the run it'd feel awesome.

I would like that, if it was optional and didn't take away from anything else.
I think it would be pretty fun.

^ Yeah I could totally see that being satisfying, and maybe the awesomeness of landing that trick would even make up for the un-awesomeness of vomiting on your couch.

Hey, I have an idea!
Turn this into a poll!

^ Inb4 g0mbl3r comes onto this topic just to complain about FPS.

And, yes, I love GT5 too.

I would love to try it. This could be a lot of fun for racing in particular

I have a feeling it could give you the sensation of riding a roller coaster or other thrill ride...that is, if you don't get motion sick, haha. I'd try it once, just to see what it'd be like, and continue doing it if it's something I'd enjoy.

remember this early pic release?

FPS
First person snowboarding :heh

Will we ever see this track? Nanga Parbat

It wouldn't be useful at all...but who says everything in a game has to be useful?

That's what easter eggs are for.

I'd have loved to try it out just for the hilarity of it.

This might be possible if the game ran 60 fps, but as you may have noticed the default camera is pretty far away from your snowboard. The close camera actually makes the game kinda fugly but allows for precision riding. The far cameras do a decent job of making the game look smoother than it actually is and masking the 30fps. The only problem is the awkward and unnatural camera "pan" or movement, at least the close camera is locked down.

The cool thing about gt5 was the third person, first person, and HUD free camera were silk smooth sixty fps and well polished/all looked good. I realize that ssx will always be below the bar gt5 set 2 years ago, but a man can dream can't he?

No doubt two diiferent games and ssx has many more directions...walls air etc but there was a passion behind gt5 that just isn't in ssx.

Bro, drop it with the FPS already.

I wouldn't mind giving a first person camera a try, but if they give us that they need to give us the dynamic camera too.

1st person carving at the speed our game moves was really awesome and intense. Thunderbird was incredible. But also really hard to see where you are going on lots of tracks. And of course when flipping/spinning in the air it was pretty awful.

If I remember correctly Shaun White did a 1st person cam where the camera stayed locked even when you spin/flipped in the air but that wasn't really ideal.

Interstingly, we also played around with a prototype where we rode in 1st person on the ground, then when you went airborne the camera pulled back into 3rd person, then slammed back into 1st when you landed. On a regular big-air scenario it was pretty awesome, actually.

But there were loads of issues that just all stacked up against it, the biggest of which was the 'pacing' of ground-air-ground-air. When you were in either state for too short of a time (ie when you land a jump and then go airborne immediately again, or when riding and going over a tiny bump that sends you airborne for less than a second before being back riding on the ground) then the in-out-in-out just became way too much.

It was a neat idea though.

Oh, and because we didn't have to draw the character on the screen we were running at somewhere around 1320 fps. Which was really, really, really, really great.

I am a burnout revenge racer and I am capable of doing 90 degree turns goin 230+mph and that to me is amazing this game is a bit slower to me and I can react so much faster. I would love FPS!

You got to remember those spins though, Those horribly fast spins.

Just saw a video of this game on youtube from 2008. The graphics look pretty sick. Anyone know if it has real multiplayer or how many frames per second it runs?

Again with FPS? Pluss if theres such a big difference in looks depending on the FPS shouldnt you be able to tell with your fighter pilot eyes?
It does have have traditional multiplayer and its a crazy fun game and you should get it, trust me you won't regret it. :thumbsup
