When it come to extreme sports video games, it seems Tony Hawk Pro Skater will forever sit atop that mountain. But another game in the same genre became an accidental icon in the same vein. SSX Tricky is looked back on as one of the most fun sports games made for Playstation. Fans of SSX Tricky fell in love with the slick graphics, upbeat soundtrack, and lovable characters. But how exactly did SSX Tricky become an icon that no other SSX game could quite match?

It was absolutely the most fun time for sports game for me. The options were plentiful whether you wanted to do more sim or more arcade and every extreme sport you could imagine had a relatively good game(I might be pretty biased about Dave Mirra 2 though as it was the first game I got with my ps2 ;) ). Anyways, just wanted to say that over the last two weeks I finally downloaded and tried PSCX2, the ps2 emulator for pc, and the first thing I went for was NBA Street! For those of us just bathing in video game nostalgia on youtube I'd say its absolutely worth trying out PSCX2 to revisit some of the greatness😎 Plus, it absolutely fucking rocks that you can push the resolution past 4k and add 16x antisotropic filtering - makes theses old gems look incredible

In defense of SSX 3 a lot was added to the mechanics of the game that wasn’t present in the first two. They added FS and BS ground presses, rail grinding tricks, an improved rail detection system, aerial stalls, invert and off-axis flips as well as monster tricks with a plethora of returning and new Uber tricks. Not to mention character customization and more attributes to unlock as well as new game modes and events like Slope-style, Big Air, Back Country and Super-Pipe. Plus, new snow rendering technology and audio engineering technology as well as a open world on a 3 peak mountain. The reason the characters were toned down a little was because of the fact that you can customize them so much. You’re supposed to add you’re own spin and wacky personality to the characters as you progress up the mountain and unlock cooler and crazier gear and options. I think that 3 is just as iconic if not more so. There’s more events, more character to the game, more actual characters, more events, more customization and more technical and mechanical skill as well as both electronic and hip hop ost as well as a fully liscense song list with all the audio effects you get when you’re in the air, when you fall and recover and everything in between. SSX 2000 and Tricky put the series on the map, but SSX3 really pushed the genre forward showed what was capable on the hardware at the time and how much fun you could have with such a massive sandbox with infinite replay value. That’s what makes the series so priceless and immortal.

Hate the characters and the overall game. I'll take deadly decents over it. I loved On tour as well. Skiing and Paul wall on the soundtrack. 3 was the most polished in my opinion.

SSX Tricky is the best game in the franchise. I recently started playing it again for the first time in years. The gameplay is still nearly perfect. The flow is amazing. Landing an impossible trick or sequence of tricks is still the best feeling. The soundtrack is great and hearing TRICKY when you land those über tricks never gets old. Rahzel as the MC, fantastic. "Call your mama in the room and show her how great you are." It's a nearly perfect game.

I find it so hard to watch this video without yelling at the screen. It's a video that is clearly written with a heavy bias and/or nostalgia towards Tricky, losing objectivity in the process and presenting coloured opinions as facts. The decisions the developers made while developing both SSX 3 and SSX On Tour aren't to be ''blamed'' on anything, they were refreshing and much welcome changes that resulted in 2 games that are simply outshining Tricky in most if not all aspects. Much more advanced level design, polished gameplay, far less stiff controls, incredible overall game design in i.e. making SSX 3 take place on 1 mountain and gamemodes like The Tour in On Tour. Yeah they got rid of an aspect of the game's personality by axing the trash talk and a chunk of the well known and beloved characters, but more than filled the gap with brilliant aesthetics, character customisation and much more engaging mechanics and gameplay. The series didn't go ''off the rails'', it evolved and got better rather than stagnating like many other (extreme) sports games. Tricky is an iconic game, but downplaying SSX 3 and On Tour like they aren't better games nor have achieved a similar status is crazy to me. Everyone, including me, will always have a bias towards one of them, but that doesn't mean 3 legends cannot co-exist. I would have really liked a less biased video in that regard, because most of what's said in this video is just untrue.

The competitiveness in ssx 2012 with its online rewards, geo tags, map and sound design was such a good push for ssx in the modern times. People said it was too unrealistic which was the entire point.

For anyone hoping for future SSX games. A lot of the original Devs on the first few SSX games are returning to make a brand new arcade style snowboarding game. It’s called “Project Gravity.” There’s not much info rn, but it’s been happening for a couple years now and it’s like a spiritual successor to the SSX games.

@@RicardoPerez-rz8pu unfortunately I don’t think that will ever be possible. There was an accident or some fire of some kind at the Devs Studios and all of the Trickys source code was lost. Trickys source code was basically the completed version of SSX (2000) so both of those games are lost. That’s why we only got SSX 3 for Xbox Backwards Compatibility. If that accident didn’t happen, then we would’ve gotten Tricky backwards compatible too. The best hope rn is to hope for an SSX 3 remaster.
