Why SSX Snowboarding Games Died

SSX was one of my favorite games growing up, and I would spend hours playing it. But, SSX is not what is used to be, and has pretty much died in the past decade. We are going to be talking about what caused this in the video today.

"SSX Trylogy REMASTER" that is what we need or an HD collection.

I totally enjoyed your video. It kind of made me wish that SSX3 hadn’t been the last of the SSX games that I made. I think there could be lots of life and fun new experiences left in the franchise - never say never 🤷‍♂️

I’d say this though - if EA decided to randomly remaster SSX Tricky in 2019 for an audience that wasn’t around back in the early 2000s, it might actually do well. But I can’t count on EA to do anything right anymore.

Without watching the video, it was EA's fault.

I actually loved SSX: On Tour. SSX 3 is probably still my favorite but On Tour is a close second for me. I think it had some of the most interesting areas and being able to do the 20 minute decent down the mountain was awesome.

I know that it wasn't for everyone, but I think that SSX 2012 was a very underrated game. The trick system was every bit as satisfying as the first three games and it had a tonne of replay value. It was only really held back by the wingsuits almost breaking the race mode and EA's strange choices with regards to multiplayer (no split screen, all online events were against ghosts until a content update later on).

SSX Tricky was my favourite entry in the series though. I loved the world tour aspect with lots of crazy and visually interesting locales from the insanity of the Tokyo City Megaplex to the white-knuckle wildness of Alaska. Again, this game had a tonne of replay value and a great soundtrack to boot.

I will die a happy man if they release a remaster of SSX3, the game felt so good to play and everything was tight, plus the atmosphere was perfect from the riders and players comments to DJ Atomika it's a feeling no other game has quite replicated.

I personally loved SSX on tour. I think it might even have been my favorite to be honest. I don’t understand why everyone hates on it so much

See, what bugs me most is that EA grabs a franchise, finds some way to kill it, puts up their hands like "IDUNNO WHY IT DIED, " fires a whole bunch of people, then locks up the rights to the franchise and throws away the keys, preventing anyone else from trying to do better with it. They don't just murder games; they throw the corpses into their own private morgue and deny them a proper funeral.

Other teams could probably pick up a franchise like SSX and do something new and great with it, but nope. EA doesn't like to share.

*I actually really liked 2012's SSX tbh*

On Tour was my first SSX and I totally loved it. On Tour is what is SSX for me. I also found so much new music through that game that I still listen to today.

Bro ssx 3 on ps2 was my childhood. I loved that game as a kid. I felt the same way too since I live in Florida too

SSX3 is the greatest sports game ever.

Change my mind

I remember watching a sort of director video on this, and one quote from one of the creative minds was that these characters were in essence, “superheroes with snowboards.” They had so much personality and so much power in their play. Hearing Eddy scream “I CAN SEE MY HOUSE FROM HERE” or Zoe yelling out YEAHHHH” as you made mondo leaps and impossible tricks was beautiful. And it seems that’s what the late games missed. Personality and care.

Ssx 2012 was actually my favorite. It felt more precise probably due to it being a more modern game.

[annj]

SSX 2012 is actually my favorite, still play it to this day. I played SSX tricky and SSX on tour. I feel like the people who complain about 2012 are people who can never get over the original content, which SSX 2012 did do. It got back to the roots, had a great soundtrack, and put more of a story with more substance in it. They should come back.

[manateemadness]

Bruh, I still play SSX Tricky on my Gamecube sometimes. One of my favorite games of all time, I think Tricky is the best SSX game. Fight me.

If they remade SSX Tricky HD on the Switch or something, I would SO buy it. SSX Tricky on the go? HELL YEAH!

[outdoorsunleashed]

They need to make a ssx tricky remastered version, add a map or two and leave it at that, that soundtrack was perfect and I still play that game, I feel like an updated version would have everyone buying it
