SSX
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.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
