this'll be live at GDQ's twitch channel!! i hope to see you guys there :)
The game looks great.
Hey gang! I am a long time fan of SSX I've been planning a long form retrospective on the entire series for a while now, but I was missing one very important game which was of course the first one! I lucked out at a local game store and I now have the entire series! I have never played this original, I have heard it is very similar to Tricky but I am curious to see it first hand.
It's been interesting digging into the history of this series as well, it's surprising how much there is to it. How many of you have played this first entry?
There's alot to be said that is different between two versions, but I never knew that in the Gamecube version there's actually a opponent you go against in Slopestyle events.
I always wondered why there was an opponent on the minimap during those events on the PS2 version, but now I know. It must've been hardware limitations at the time.
So the Gamecube version might've not had that extra button but it did have extra rival events. Which seems really cool! Wish it would've also been a feature on the PS2 version!
A bit like how the Tony Hawk dev team did a wakeboarding "spinoff" back during the PS2 days.
Has anyone ever gotten a ??? trick in SSX Tricky? I was practicing the trick book for JP and got this on accident twice. I managed to get a picture of it while it was still on screen, but I’m curious if anyone else has ever done an unnamed trick before. I don’t think it’s too rare, but I’ve also never seen pictures of it.
