51.3 million points on Race It without using the rewind glitch.

GOD.

DAMMIT.

Is there anyway to get the old SSX soundtracks? I'd like to put those on my hard drive so I can play the game with them also.

demo is so fucking good. might actually get this at release. wish himu was on 360, too. just getting a gold run in race it was sweet. it's only 2:09, so i'm not himu-good, but it felt awesome.

feel worse

the top guy on my friends list is under 2:01. I don't think I can do that.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #363 on:** February 26, 2012, 06:26:42 PM »

I just took you both down. 2:08:46

Himu · « **Reply #364 on:** February 26, 2012, 07:30:09 PM »

My top score is 2:03

Can't seem to crack getting under 2 minutes. I think there's one specific jump I'm fucking up.

If I didn't keep messing up 3/4th into the track, I could probably beat that!

I think I messed up big time in my record run. In the final stretch I was boosting to beat the ghost and it constantly flickered me between it and me. I literally did a fist pump in real life when I won by .30 seconds or something.

I haven't played that much to understand everything. I kept getting duplicate tricks because I wasn't paying attention.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #369 on:** February 26, 2012, 10:22:16 PM »

Yeah I definitely could shave off about 4 seconds off my time to maybe 2:04 but that's probably about the limit of my skill. I've played the demo so much and I didn't even discover trick it was in the demo until yesterday.

So pumped to get the full game Tuesday or Wednesday when it comes in. A sleeper goty candidate for me most likely as I wasn't even expecting to buy this game and I rarely get blown away enough by a demo to buy a game.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #370 on:** February 26, 2012, 10:22:55 PM »

don't like the stick controls one bit.

even though you can switch to classic controls, it turned me off enough to quit the demo.

Himu · « **Reply #371 on:** February 26, 2012, 10:26:33 PM »

You don't have to use stick controls. Just use buttons. It even says "DO YOU WANT TO USE STICK CONTROLS OR BUTTONS?"

You clearly clicked stick. I use standard controls. "Classic" controls are really weird.

And yeah, stoney, between the past week I've probably spent like 5-6 hours play this demo.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #372 on:** February 26, 2012, 10:31:54 PM »

Thank for the music link. Now I'm ready to play with all that music. Such a nostalgia fix. The original SSX was my favorite game on the PS 2 for so long. I kinda fell out with the series after tricky but its been long enough now where it feels so fresh and unlike anything out there.

Himu · « **Reply #373 on:** February 26, 2012, 10:33:03 PM »

Hopefully they put SSX3 on xbla. I think it and Tricky have aged like wine, 3 more so than Tricky.

bork · « **Reply #375 on:** February 27, 2012, 09:46:26 AM »

I was not big on the default demo controls, but also found that I was able to score way higher than the classic controls.

Maybe it's just been a while...really hate that the demo tutorial does NOT adjust itself when you change the control scheme.

Have the game ordered for PS3, but am wondering if I should cancel it since Mass Effect 3 and SFxTekken are next week.

Himu · « **Reply #376 on:** February 27, 2012, 01:11:45 PM »

The classic controls are horrid. One of the biggest things about Race It, is holding the stick forward so the your boarder pushes themselves down as they go downhill. How do you do this on classic controls? Don't you have to go to d-pad to do it? While maneuvering at the same time? Classic controls feel too convoluted for their own good.

That's not being fair at all. SSX had horrible press when it was first revealed. But I stayed open-minded, and they changed the game for the better.

cool breeze · « **Reply #385 on:** February 28, 2012, 12:18:09 AM »

if only the internet had a rewind button!

the rewind in 'race it' seems very well balanced. crashing is a bitch so the time penalty to get back on your line is worth it, just not if you're going for gold or leaderboards. trick it might be too exploitable, though.

Excited for tomorrow or wednesday. The wing suit better not take too long to unlock.

Himu · « **Reply #386 on:** February 28, 2012, 12:24:46 AM »

I hate rewind button. It has no actual use. In Trick It, you can use a glitch to get point boosts, but if you do rewind after messing up, you get a negative point bonus. In race it, you're fucked if you use rewind because the competitors still zoom ahead. If I mess up, I just restart.

I wish I could just use a quick recover.

Bebpo · « **Reply #399 on:** February 29, 2012, 01:56:38 AM »

Played a little. Skipped the demo, so this is my first time trying it out.

Pretty rad. The online implementation is nice. First thing I did was go and beat LyteEdge's scores. Wingsuit is actually kind of neat and adds some strategy into races since you want to fly as little as possible since it slows you down but you also want to survive. I like how rewind works in this game and how it doesn't stop time for anyone else. I think it might be broken for trick tracks though because the negative point penalty is way too small considering how any points you can get for a good trick.

Not feeling the armor/health survival stages though or the ones with tons of pits so you can die easily. Also the graphics have this super low-res look. Nothing is sharp at all, but the mountains are big and nice so I don't really care that much.

PS3 version has an extra mountain according to the cover. Dunno if it's just DLC for the X360 version or actually exclusive.

Probably PS3 then. All the Xfags I know IRL play almost exclusively shooters.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #408 on:** February 29, 2012, 03:26:39 AM »

For a relatively niche title there were a healthy number of people playing it on my friends list. At least 6 or 7 and my friends list is a mix of hardcore and casual types.

Eric P · « **Reply #409 on:** February 29, 2012, 09:45:58 AM »

i must have missed the discussion of the "freemium" model which has infected this as well. Buy things in store with points from events or buy additional points with MS points.
Between this and Bepo's Katamari woes, is this basically the future of the medium? Full price releases with DLC and freemium cash grabs as well?

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #410 on:** February 29, 2012, 10:00:11 AM »

EA has been sticking that unlock stuff with in game credits or buy them for years now. That practice as long as you can reasonably earn the stuff through normal in game play bothers me less than other practices.

bork · « **Reply #412 on:** February 29, 2012, 10:48:44 AM »

When I got this, the first few courses were okay. It was like "ho hum, yup, SSX...been there, done that" and then it went to a night race and I was like OMGFASTANDCRAZY and then it went to the mountain's most dangerous course and I was like

. Really gave me that "arcade rush" and felt extremely satisfying.

Quote from: Smooth Groove on February 29, 2012, 02:13:15 AM

What's the word on which version is better?

I went with the PS3 version since it has an extra mountain (Mt. Fuji) listed as being "exclusive."

I played the demo on 360 and didn't notice a difference between the two. The game is not exactly a graphical-powerhouse.

Speaking of which, this is completely minor and does not affect the game in any way, but SSX has these comic book style cut scenes. The art is atrocious.

Where your friends are. I got the 360 version because of that... and achievements. Can't kick the habit.

Lyte said the PS3 version is suppose to have an extra mountain, but he doesn't know if it's just DLC for the X360 version or actually exclusive.

So far I think it's me, Eric P, and Stoney on the 360 version. Lyte, Bebpo, and Himu on PS3.

cool breeze · « **Reply #419 on:** February 29, 2012, 12:54:36 PM »

that's partly why I got the 360 version. actually, friends got this for ps3 but they don't play nearly as much or fiercely as online peoples. and I like the controller more.

I had no idea about the 'extra' mountain, though. There's enough content that I don't mind. Sony has some thing going with EA to get exclusive bits like MoH Frontline, Dead Space Extraction, and now this mountain.

I did a quick search and apparently Mt. Fuji is on the 360 dvd and will probably be DLC. It was a preorder bonus in the UK.
