In the first of a planned series of videos, we see some of new mountains to be featured in the upcoming SSX. Creative Director Todd Batty, and Environment Art Director Geoff Coates show off slopes from the Himalayas, Alaska, and Siberia. They also touch on some new gameplay mechanics, like rushing to the bottom of a hill before running out of oxygen.

Using NASA global imaging data and special software developed specifically for use with SSX, the developers have streamlined a process that allows them to create 3D models of real world mountains very quickly.

This is the first of what is meant to be a series of videos called the SSX Massive World Producer Video series, so keep an eye out our for more. SSX will be releasing early next year for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

That's sweet, but you know what would be even cooler? If the Rangers won the World Series this year. Go Rangers! And 1ST!

I haven't played a snowboarding game since Coolboarders 2. This peaks my interest, definitely worth picking up. I will end up broke after the next few months haha.

Never really got into playing these types of games.

SSX is the only sports game that I will play. I can't wait.

Why won't it load :(
by LeviRK Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at 10:18 PM

Can't see the video, like many have commented already. Tried refreshing and multiple browsers.
by PiggyMmmwah Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at 11:26 PM

Wish they would make a snowboarding game that is half as fun as doing it for real. If they can make this one as good as the old ones with good graphics, than im in. Now GI, fix the trailer, dog-on-it!

Nice video but way is one of the tags for this article NBA Jam?

Also I have been having a lot of trouble viewing videos on this site lately. Either I have to refresh the page numerous times or I just can't watch the videos at all. Get your tech monkeys on this please.

This game has been pushed to Feb. 14th (They had been saying January for most of this year)

Also they really need a video of 60sec+ of uninteruppted game play, I am getting really sic of the choppy (on purpose) video and the heavily CS influenced videos. Take note EA, after the first 2-3 trailers for a game, videos without significant game play footage can hurt you.
