SSX is an upcoming snowboarding video game in the SSX series of video games from Electronic Arts. First revealed at the Spike Video Game Awards in 2010 under the working title SSX: Deadly Descents, the game's trailer appears to show a much darker direction to the series than previous entries, and will include the use of real locations, rather than the fictional courses of past games. EA Sports plans to reveal more about the video game at the E3 Expo in June.
Gameplay
In SSX, players take on the role of a member of a team seeking to snowboard down a variety of real-world mountains, such as in the Himalayas and the Antarctic. Gameplay will include helicopter drops, avalanches, and the use of wingsuits. On June 3rd, EA released the first gameplay trailer since the first trailer in 2010 on GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley. The trailer released for the 2011 E3 convention confirmed the return of SSX veteran Mackenzie "Mac" Fraser.
Recent footage released on 5 June 2011 shows pre-alpha gameplay. Shown in the footage are helicopters, objectives, a new turquoise User Interface, much more extensive maps with increased graphical innovations such as improved shadowing and snow-spray, the return of the "combo" system allowing the build-up of trick points, commentary, dialogue, races, trick point competitions and graffiti.
The end of the video shows the outlines of ten characters, four of which have been previously confirmed and recorded in-game (Elise Riggs, Mac Fraser, Kaori Nishidake and Moby Jones). This alludes to six more characters being unveiled prior to the game's promised release in January 2012.
Characters
Original SSX veteran Elise Riggs was the first playable character to be revealed and was so on May 27, 2011 via a comic strip along with a short gameplay video. Mackenzie "Mac" Fraser, also an original SSX veteran, was revealed on June 2, 2011 with his reveal trailer. And on June 6 during E3 2011 the third original SSX veteran Kaori Nishidake was revealed. On June 9, 2011 on Facebook Moby Jones was revealed as a returning character. On May 27, EA SPORTS released a comic strip on the character Elise online, has continued to release more comics on returning characters based on time or the amount of likes the EA SPORTS SSX page earns on Facebook social networking site.
