A complete list of SSX 3's named but unseen characters, as well as who they're likely references to
Through DJ Atomika, you learn the names of lots of people that never actually physically appear in the game. I went ahead and listened to the entire SSX 3 part of my Sound Pack project and created a list of all of them. I also looked at the game's credits and added who the names are likely to be references to. If anyone has any ideas about the ones I wasn't able to figure out or ways to narrow down the ones with lots of potential name matches, please let me know.
Rosemary - Left a message in Radio BIG's answering machine in the unused "Voicemail" sound clip from the retail demo. No known production team connection.
LG - That nasty ski patroller up on Peak 3. It's time to chill, sweetheart. No known production team connection.
Rob and Bob - Owners of Rob and Bob's board shop. Rob is likely a reference either to Lead Lighter Robin Kort, Development Director Robyn Wallace, or Marketing Team member Rob Bucci, and Bob is likely a reference to Programming Team member Bob Silliker. In Rob's case, odds are it's only one of them.
Eva - Owner of Eva's Coffee Hut. Very low chance of being a reference to Production Support member Lynn Corcuera, the logic being Eva = Evalynn = Lynn.
El Franco - Possible real person related to El Franco Loco Fire Sauce. Potentially a reference to Audio Team member Frank Faugno.
Rory McKenzie - Owner of the infamous Orange Cat. Potentially related to Audio Team member Tim McKenzie.
S.M. Smiley - Referred to as S.M. Morrison by Pre-Alpha DJ Atomika, "the town's" founder and first to climb BIG Mountain, got to name all the tracks. Likely a reference to both game Tester Shaun Morrison and Production Team member Sean Smillie, the latter being referenced by the "Tired Smillie" goggles.
Powder Pete - Reckless Osprey pilot constantly getting into crashes. Likely a reference to either Video Post Production team member Peter Miller or Localization Team member Peter Frankemölle.
Dangerous Dave - Snowplow driver known for plowing more cars than snow. Likely a reference to either Co-Producer J. David Elton, Programming Team member David Weedon, Modeler David Lam, game Tester David Shen, Localization Coordination member David Wiens, Localization Team member David Pérez, Public Relations Team member David Lee, or Music Services member Dave Taylor. Definitely only one of them though.
Tiger - An avalanche rescue dog, presumed to be Zoe's dog, although unconfirmed.
Fisheye Rich - Cameraman for Frozen Films. Potentially related to Modeler Cody Ritchie, game Tester Richard Given, or game Tester Richard Seto.
Buford Summers - Local author and (sometimes) Frozen Films scriptwriter. No known production team connection.
Big T - His snowmobile broke down again. He made it back, only for his van to break down too. Way too many first names in the credits that start with T to figure this out.
Chuck Clark - Has rocks thrown at his house, making it hard to sleep. Also, he has llamas in his basement. Potentially related to game Tester Tiffin Clark.
JB - Organizer of the Mountain Bike Ride. Potentially related to either Production Team member Jay Balmer, Concept Artist James Bowes, Animator Jay Bulbrook, Screenwriter Janice Beaudoin, Subject Matter Expert Jim Barnum, Subject Matter Expert James Bishop, or a combination of these people considering how many JBs were on the team!
Mr. Morrison - Local high school geography teacher. Skips classes every snowfall. Wait a second... Morrison? As in the early name for S.M. Smiley? How curious. Likely a second reference to game Tester Shaun Morrison.
Angry Phil - Got his board stolen, I guess. No known production team connection.
MC Queen - Local DJ, played at the Day Shack, competing against Mac Fraser and one other local DJ. Likely a reference to Project Manager Martin McQueen.
Lil' Cammy Carvealot - The one other participating local DJ. Likely a reference to Team Lead Cameron MacKinnon.
Nick "The Duke" Lloyd - Creates slideshows for past historical events. Potentially related to Art Director Ian Lloyd.
Carlos - The Duke's sitar-playing sherpa man-servant. No known production team connection.
Rockin' Riley - Local snowmobile mechanic. Lost a contact up on Peak 2. RIP. No known production team connection.
Belgium Mike - Mentioned a single time in a list of names right before Dangerous Dave. Likely a reference to either Lead Programmer Mike Rayner or Michael Dobson, the voice actor for Nate Logan.
Jock "Bendit Backwards" Bruster - A Scottish yoga instructor whose classes require a very worrying set of gear. No known production team connection.
Sophia - Peak 2 resident, calls in to request Screw Up by Overseer. No known production team connection.
TG - Peak 1 resident, calls in to request Mas by Kinky. Likely a reference to Technical Artist Tom Graham.
Combat Tracy - BIG Mountain resident, calls in to request Don't Let the Man Get You Down by Fatboy Slim. No known production team connection.
