More SSX Videos

More SSX Videos

The Wingsuit race really shatters the grounded reality of this title

Written by Dog of Thunder on 24 February 12 at 20:52

If there's one thing you can say about SSX, it's that EA has released a lot of videos for it. So many in fact, that our last few articles have all started with a variation on that same comment. I'll hammer this point home by mentioning that originally, this article contained only two videos, but in the time it took me to write, format and get approved, EA released MORE videos which have now been edited in to my original piece.

The first of these videos is a new Tips and Tricks video that acts as a companion piece to the last one we posted a very, very long time ago. Oh wait, it was just yesterday.



The second video shows off the Wingsuit Race, an option utilized in a custom Global Event on the slopes of Patagonia.



The latest set of videos are all about the mountain regions you'll be shredding next week. In order, we have footage of Alaska, Siberia and Patagonia:







SSX hits North America on February 28th and Europe on March 2nd.

The videos however, will never stop.

This is quickly turning into Orcs Must Die! I downloaded the demo last night, but haven't had a chance to check it out. I'm on the fence (diagram below).

After trying the demo, I must say I'm kinda excited that the SSX franchise is back. Racing and pulling off insane tricks is just as fun as ever and after suffering through the clunky and less-intuitive controls of Stoked and Shaun White's Snowboarding, it's great to have the smooth style of SSX back (I'm even almost prepared to forgive them for the horrible SSX Blur on Wii).

Its funny to hea on the Alaska video, Wretch 32's song Tractor, which has a line containing 'The Jeremy Kyle Show' Americans will be oblivious to the reference of such a horrendous UK show!

The demo was fun and pretty easy to pick up. Glad they have the right analog stick and/or face buttons as an option to play and do the tricks with

That first video isn't a companion piece, it's the exact same one.

The windsuit racing looks amazing! I cannot wait till amazon gets me my copy next week.

The only thing that could make that better is if they release an unlockable batman character.

Man, I love this game. I played like 24 hours of this demo already trying to be my 1:49 time on JT2. I think I may be SSXed-out. I 90% sure I'll buy day one and hopefully I'll get right back into the game after playing the demo like its no tomorrow.
