Very Cool. Literally;-)

I really like where they are going with this.

Definitely literally incredible.

That's what I got out of that one guy talking.

Ok,

That did it for me. I'm in.

Actual gameplay footage!

They intrigued me with the snowboarder in a flying squirrel suit. They had me with bonking the insertion chopper.

Really, unless they completely screw up the controls, this should be an awesome game.

That looks like a plan, but I notice that according to the end the ship date has slipped two weeks. No bueno!

Hot. Definitely going to do some couch co-op with my wife.

Freaking.
Sold.

One thing I've always loved about SSX is that the music always goes quiet if not silent just before you land, which makes the impact that much sweeter. This might be intentional, it might just be psychosomatic, but it makes the game for me.

I wish the Amazon pre-order wasn't a Mac board. I don't like Mac. Elise all the way.

Rewind? This might be the first SSX game I put serious time into since the first.

I did see that, but since they claimed it was for polish and I have a freaking enormous pile I wasn't too concerned by it. It slipped to a hard date, not a "Q2 2012" or anything like that.

Edited the OP with new street date and gameplay video.

Holy crap. These features actually might make me interested in on-line features

One of my wife's favorites, day one buy.

Okay, I know I started this thread, but I wasn't sure about pre-ordering. That video? That right there made me pre-order.

Wow... so awesome. I'm looking forward to this. Might be a game that I pick up a second controller for if the wife gets into it. I could see her taking a shine to it.

Is this going to have split-screen or are you referring to passing the controller? I had thought split-screen was a no go.

No split screen? Enthusiasm fading.

I will earn many credits by roflstomping ALL YOUR GHOSTS!!!

That's right, the gauntlet has been thrown.

Heck you might even have time to play the game!

Not if I'm doing it right

Every new video released makes it harder for me not to pre-order... must. remain. disciplined.

Sooooooooooooooooooo sold.

It's like they looked at Forza's online leaderboard features, took all the best parts, and then added a few more awesome things.

Yep. Day one.

I wish they'd put this out on PC.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has a wife addicted to this game. SSX Tricky is how I got her hooked on video games to begin with. She wouldn't touch them until Tricky, but she played that until her thumbs cracked and bled. I hope this will bring back some of the SSX magic.

Very much looking forward to SSX, and this week we'll get a Quick Look from Giant Bomb. A demo with some multiplayer activity would be great.

Just went through some of the latest footage too.

The game kind of dropped off my radar since the initial Deadly Descents reveal looked like EA was going all CoD with it.

Surprise surprise, looks like the backlash took hold and now the game has a complete makeover, going back to its bright and colorful roots.

After seeing the revamped title in action, I believe this will be my first Day One purchase of 2012.

I'll just leave this here (and the deals thread)"

SSX (PS3 & 360) Pre-order $45 @ Toys R Us -that's the 360 link b/c you know, nobody cares about the PS3.

I might have preferred a Kitty Kat...
