@Roxas3510 they were gonna add a "Lobby" type system, but since the Global Events are timed LIVE TOURNAMENTS, they just decided to have 100's to 100,000's of people on the slope with you fade in and out of visibility so your not seeing 50+ people on one track in front of you. Making a Private Lobby allows things to be more organized. But the game only records your times on a Race Online, so starting at the same time is not needed. if you want, the 3,2,1 go works too with friends.
You know I was upset when this got delayed a few more weeks. But they have done a great job promoting this game and now giving a demo will make it sell better. That means more players scores to beat.
@SamuraiZakk Luther I don't know. Eddie is a preorder exclusive at GameStop which was already told you you. Other places are just certain special boards for certain characters.
@DOSkywalkR I think that they went for a more realistic look because the drops are now based on actual mountain ranges. I can understand how you would expect more graphically. I was looking at the snow for one which could look a bit more realistic. Then again, the characters in general still give off a cartoony feel when you look at them on the character selection screen so I'm sure this was the look they were intentionally aiming for. Probably to not upset the fans over it...
Looks like a lot of fun. I've never played a SSX game but I use to play Amped back on the XBOX and I always thought that was over the top but this takes it to another level.
@KickinTwitch the demos are normally all the same dates for global since the networks download the demos into their stores however when it's a proper game there is loads more to do so they realise it first in the U.S :)
@Roxas3510 Yes. There is a way to interact with random people if you want. When you join Global Events if fades the people riding on that track in and out, depending on how close or far they are to you. I'm also pretty sure you could chat with others on the same slope up til a certain point. But there will be so many LIVE players online, ON THE SAME SLOPE AS YOU, LIVE (THERE FOR REAL, NOT ONLY GHOST) that you'll barely notice the ghost.
Longtime SSX fan here. Played the demo and didn't like it. I was very surprised by the new controls, unresponsiveness, and the sheer blandness of it all. Doesn't feel like an SSX game but an impostor, unsuccessfully trying to replicate many elements that made the other SSX games so great. This was going to be day one buy for me, but not so much anymore.
@mrbitch277 Write Sony asking why they haven't updated the PlayStation Store yet. The demo will only be available when Sony updates it, which they are being really slow about.
@1Bullet2Ki11s I get it now, at first I thought that when you went into a global event, you see the score/time leaderboard on the side, then you race down ALONE and try to top the boards, I didn't know that other people playing that same global event are visible as well. So basically I could create a custom global event, invite my friends, and we all start at the same time to get the "race" I want. Still, I thought there would be a "3, 2, 1, go" type of mode in the multiplayer.
@1Bullet2Ki11s well yea that gave me hope but I wanted to be able to play with others if my friends aren't on or without having to add random people and inviting them to a private race.
Man , i havent slept for the whole day. This is the first time im hyped over a Demo , i mean , Its fucking SSX! I'm a PS3 user but ill play the shit out of this demo on my 360 til it releases on PSN.
@Roxas3510 you can still start races with your friends at the same time, at the same place. It's still perfectly possible. Just make a private lobby, invite, and start at the same time....
To think this highly detailed map is only one of like seventy is just ridiculous. If the rest of the game looks this good, then this really might be contender for GOTY.
So they've taken the trick nature of SSX Tricky, combined it with the ability to do it on grinds of SSX3 and the open world nature of SSX On Tour. Yep. I'll take one.
@1Bullet2Ki11s What? There is no matchmaking, you can't go online and search for a bunch of people to play head to head with, it doesn't work like that. You only race against other players' ghosts for the best time or most points in trick events. If you want to get into a match with people and race with them on the same track at the same time, you have to invite them to a private match.
Looks just like SSX Tricky (which felt like an update for SSX!!!). Wanted to be impressed but to only be this far after 10 years :( Hope the demo allays my fears.
@CallMeEagleXx visually. i mean of course it looks a little better than 3 or on tour, but not that much to make it stand out. looks like ssx3 brought to HD. there are games looking way better on the ps3... like i said, still looking forward to ssx, but it really misses something to make it stand out visually (graphic limitations of ps3 and xbox 360 left aside).
@kisame004 ...... Okay, you've played call of duty before right? imagine that, but without the "find a match" option, only private match. That is SSX. Regardless of how many people are on the game, you can't play with anyone else other than the A.I and other players' ghost. The only way to play with people in real time is to invite them to a private match.
@kisame004 Well I clearly had no idea it worked like that. My apologies, maybe next time I should check it out myself instead of getting the info from a friend.
Song is Breezeblock By Camo and Crooked, who also Produced the majority of the OST
thank god there bringing out a demo, now i can satisfy my need to play ssx before i get the full game
Finally a demo!!!

I was so addicted to SSX Tricky when it came out. SSX3 was fun. I'll definitely be picking this up. Anyone know if Eddie or Luther will be in this?
@SamuraiZakk Luther I don't know. Eddie is a preorder exclusive at GameStop which was already told you you. Other places are just certain special boards for certain characters.

LISTEN THE DEMO IS UP NOW. PSN COULDNT GET IT UP YESTERDAY BUT ITS UP NOW
@KickinTwitch the demos are normally all the same dates for global since the networks download the demos into their stores however when it's a proper game there is loads more to do so they realise it first in the U.S :)
@Roxas3510
So you wanted Split-Screen racing? Cause you could just set the options on the Private Lobby to "Friends Only"
It's today! I can't wait. I wish I knew what time it comes out!
Does anyone know what date the demo hits Xbox LIVE in Australia?! A response would be amazing! I am an epic SSX fan and am so excited! :D
@Roxas3510
Yes. There is a way to interact with random people if you want. When you join Global Events if fades the people riding on that track in and out, depending on how close or far they are to you.

are there ski too like in ssx on tour?
@RickEverhard well if u hate spins do flips ???
Does anyone know when the demo should be out for north america?
@buyneee The blog link says Worldwide for XBL. For PSN it says North American and Europe.
@riku45 They confirmed that they have original controls(ssx,trick, and ssx3) and the control scheme from on tour aka analog sticks.
I couldn t find it it is realy up now?
I just noticed the Flare mechanic is from Sled Storm on the Ps2 :D
I don't have a game console yet...(only a PC), but this makes me want to get one immediately!
can anyone confirm if the old control set up is in this game. The tricks on the triggers etc
Longtime SSX fan here. Played the demo and didn't like it. I was very surprised by the new controls, unresponsiveness, and the sheer blandness of it all.

So does north america have to wait rill 12?
@SamuraiZakk Eddie is a pre-order exclusive from gamestop.
@staten64 how do you have the game?
Will i need Xbox Live?

Can't wait to play the game, still not sure if I'm buying it first day though, live races online is what I was was looking forward to =/
@MrEroeg xbox or psn? i need rivals too, aint got no buds getting this :L
@mrbitch277 Write Sony asking why they haven't updated the PlayStation Store yet. The demo will only be available when Sony updates it, which they are being really slow about.
@brkatibrkica Why dont u try switching back to classic controls. That made my experience much better.
@1Bullet2Ki11s I get it now, at first I thought that when you went into a global event, you see the score/time leaderboard on the side, then you race down ALONE and try to top the boards, I didn't know that other people playing that same global event are visible as well.

@iani103 u need gold to download it
@1Bullet2Ki11s well yea that gave me hope but I wanted to be able to play with others if my friends aren't on or without having to add random people and inviting them to a private race.
The more I watch these awesome gameplay footages, the more I fucking want it!

To think this highly detailed map is only one of like seventy is just ridiculous. If the rest of the game looks this good, then this really might be contender for GOTY.

Don't know if I should play this demo or keep myself 100% pumped for the game. It's only an extra week.
@CallMeEagleXx

So........ no demo? For psn at least skrew u sony
@lun626 cool on tour controls eh? lol...was trerrible on the gamecube :P
So they've taken the trick nature of SSX Tricky, combined it with the ability to do it on grinds of SSX3 and the open world nature of SSX On Tour.
Yep. I'll take one.

still looking very much forward to ssx, but is it me or does it not look that much better than ssx3...?

@Mrspiderking100 yeah ı cant find too.
@mynameiscoreym It's a Demo...
@CallMeEagleXx visually. i mean of course it looks a little better than 3 or on tour, but not that much to make it stand out. looks like ssx3 brought to HD. there are games looking way better on the ps3...
like i said, still looking forward to ssx, but it really misses something to make it stand out visually (graphic limitations of ps3 and xbox 360 left aside).
OMGOMGOMGOMG CAN'T WAITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!
@RickEverhard what?
@KickinTwitch ssx was banned in australia because there is to much snow and mountains in this game.
@kisame004 ...... Okay, you've played call of duty before right? imagine that, but without the "find a match" option, only private match. That is SSX.

@kisame004 Well I clearly had no idea it worked like that. My apologies, maybe next time I should check it out myself instead of getting the info from a friend.
