The real question is, why the hell havsn't anyone made a good snowboarding game for the next gen consoles? My favourite snowboarding game is still 1080 snowboarding for the N64. Nothing has ever matched it in gameplay mechanics compared to the real thing.Dysantic
I know? I LOVED 1080 snowboarding but since then theres only been one that I can still play today to get my fix and its Amped 2. It was awesome and Amped 3 they went downhill. I just wish they could take Amped 2, Stoked and Skate 1,2, and 3 and mash em together. It would be beautiful

They did announce a new SSX game but from what I've heard the trailer was underwhelming to most... I hear ya on a snowboarding game with Uncharted 2 / Killzone 3 like snow effects / graphics... I will never touch a Shaun White game because it's cartoony and appeals / targetsto ayoung age demographic and I know it's about profit and not development / taking risks... It's a money grab like Tony Hawk was after the 1st couple they are just trying to profit off of Shaun White the name that's all the product is crap and the hardcore gamers/ snowboard fans know it... I'd love to see Cool Boarders revived that game was awesome back in the day because it was actually about boarding not Tony Hawk like objectives where you have to smith grind 5 birds off of a telephone wire... A serious game where you go to actual mountains and board with your friends online would be SICK... Personally I've been waiting for a new BMX game like the Dave Mirra's back in 1999-2001... My friend always keeps asking about a new wakeboard game (Not the $10 one that's on the PSN) but a serious one not one where you get eat by sharks while lining up for a kicker... I'd like to see more $$$ pushed into extreme sport video games because they were huge 10 years ago but they milked franchises clean and made objectives so outlandish after time instead of focusing on competition side of things because really that's all it's about when you play against serious gamers... Kinda why Skate franchised worked because they actually got back to the skating side / competition side of things and also made it look pretty instead of steering it somewhere else like they did with Tony Hawk...

Yeah man Im glad you gave a solid reply. I mean why dont they tackle this? Why dont they sponser some of the olympic and Xgames snowboarders like Travis Rice, Louie Vito and hell even Shaun White if he isnt contracted with that past game anymore you know, they could benefit from it. I think it would be a great game and if they did do it I personally would buy it 100 times just to show my appreciation hahaha. Yes they just need to go back to the roots of competition and not stupid challenges from Tony Hawk.

Probably because the Skate engine was built for skateboarding. :?foxhound_fox
Right but you can modify and tweak it to become a legit engine based off of skate. Rather than starting from scratch.

I think its because snow boarding does not have as many "tricks" as skateboarding....but that would be awesome, a skate-like snowboarding game. Nice Idea.YewBacca
Yeah but the creativeness would make up for it. Seeing as snowboarders go bigger than skateboarding. All of the features are bigger or can be bigger.

It would be skate all over again but just on snow. Also the last time I heard/read skating games weren't selling well anymore. Skating games don't differ much from snowboarding games in terms of gameplay. It'll be a while until someone takes another shot at them.

Not saying I'm against the idea, Skate 3 was an amazing game.

Your right, but as I stated snowboarding is more mainstream than skateboarding and if they really stood by the game and marketed it right it could easily sell better than the Skate Series guaranteed.

B/C snowboarding only has 1 place you can go- down.

realguitarhero5
Yeah but thats why its called picking your line and thats why they made the SESSION MARKER. So you can session a set up over and over.

Before you disregard this thread and say SSX, Shawn White Snowboarding or Amped Series please take some time to read this, hopefully someone who can actually give me some insight or pass this along to people who can maybe shed some light on this topic for the gaming community. I understand you make the SSX Series which no doubt is a great, fun, entertaining game, but the Arcade/Tony Hawk like style is old and not realistic enough to hold many end users attention. Gamers who like the Skate series would LOVE an EA/Black Box Snowboarding game. Please note for sales reasons snowboarding itself is more commercialized and media friendly than skateboarding is without a doubt which I explain below. I have some questions about why EA/Black Box the creators of the Skate Series cant use the same engine from Skate 3 to make an EA Shred or Snowboarding, not necessarily the platform of the online community interface and team concept. I know game developers work really hard to make these games but using the already amazing SKATE engine would be a huge shortcut for them to start and build off of, honestly you take out the board flip tricks and add the physics levels of the snowboards different sizes, flex/stiffness and hopefully different brands themselves, then tweaking the engine to incorporate the snow effect/factor (powder, packed powder, groomed, hard pack snow etc.). Yes making the environments would be a lot of work but that is also an upside for not only the companies to have projects but for the employees to get as creative as possible which a sport like snowboarding is amazingly creative. Honestly 2 or 3 resorts would suffice for some free riding then mostly park features everywhere, using the session marker, maybe have a snowmobile, or a map to teleport you quickly to where you want to ride. The real fun would be allowing the end users to have a few different create a park layouts for instance a decently long trail with some steeper parts for speed and they could input the features (rails, boxes, barrels, jumps etc as they like. Or they could have a section called "Street" where they give you 5 or 10 street locations and features (kinked hand rails, down rails, ledges, wall rides and gaps and those could possibly be modified by the end users themselves as well. Third you could do a "Big Air" creator where the user can make a big air jump, step up big air, or even a big air to hip. I think a game like this could have a lot of potential not only for the end users of the game but also for Corporate as well as we know that revenue is the final goal of these games they create. Its already known that snowboarding is more commercialized and media friendly due to it being an Olympic sport and not to mention with Shaun Whites popularity in snowboarding it would only help (I know Shaun White Snowboarding is released but that itself would help EA's sales in general, especially since that game was sub-par at best). So from that alone it would outsell the Skate series maybe even combined. I guarantee it. There are a lot of fans that would like a realistic snowboarding game just like the Skate Series. Why do we always get the same answer to this which is always "Have you tried SSX, Shaun White Snowboarding and Amped 1,2, and 3" (May I add Amped 2 was the most LEGIT snowboarding game to date but still a bit on the glitchy side.) Please respond to this as I would love to get some info on this and who knows maybe a following and people with more ideas to make EA/Black Box at least attempt to think about considering it . I purchase a lot of your games and wouldn't mind seeing EA/Black Box consider this opinion and idea. Just think how impressive would it be to make a game with the same graphics and engine of Skate 3. Thanks hopefully I get some followers.

Yeah but there is gamers like you who prefer the over the top. Then there is gamers like me who love the SKATE series and use it to get creative and have fun in a realistic environment. I'm sorry if you couldn't picture a snowboarding game built off of the engine but it would be awesome for a big snowboarder and fan like me. The controls for fun boxes and all the other features would be so good. Being able to butter and use the right stick to throw your legs around for the 450 off boxes or get that late 180 in to stomp the 1260 would be awesome in my opinion. I dont know it might not be for you but your not the only person out there. There are a lot of people that want this to happen. Yet all they do is release something like Shaun White Snowboarding which is terrible. Stoked was ok. It was fun for a bit. I just think that EA/Black Box could really make something worth while.
