SSX - Elysium Alps

A run down the Elysium Alps course with JP in the 2000 PS2 launch title, SSX by EA Canada.
Elysium Alps: Carved high in the French Alps this is a wide course with extreme drops and challenging shortcuts.
JP: Slick and outfitted to the nines, JP is the epitome of style over substance but still has enough innate skill to throw down with the best of them.

Damn...The sound design in this game was Amazing! SSX will forever hold a special place in my heart.

[@Matanumi]

It carried to be over the top awesome in tricky and had excellent while building and ambience in 3

[@sweetknight808]

all the nostalgia is overwhelming. Thank you for this

[@BenjamminClark]

I still stand by this game over Tricky and SSX 3

[@VegetabIeMan]

Killmetbh the physics are 10x better than Tricky. The awkward riding in tricky doesn't hold up for me. great SSX is such a niche game and it's more well developed then the celebrities and revamped levels in Tricky. Plus the original levels in this game are better than the revamped versions in my opinion.

[@rocketpunchgo1]

Tricky came out in 2001, it is now 2017, and this was literally the first time I have ever heard anyone talk bad about it

[@VegetabIeMan]

smokebomb.exe well, the original SSX is based and set by real life snowboard racing. Tricky is set by celebrities and off board special tricks. Uh..

[@mcrazza]

I played the crap out of the SSX demo that came with my PS2. The demo was timed IIRC so it would finish halfway through the course. I tried to get as far as I could but alas... :( So anyway the second part of the course in this video is a revelation for me. lol

This was the only available track on my demo disc back when I was a kid. And it was time-limited so at my best I could make it up to the place at 3:05. I replayed an inifite number of times, naively trying to get to the end. sad_pepe.jpg

[@STOPnGOanimations]

Many say that tricky was better, but this was the one for me

Me too. Of course I bought Tricky as soon as I could, but after so many hours in the original, Tricky was too whacky and OTT for my taste.

[@IDyce88]

***** officially...no...unofficially there is rumour of an SSX: Extreme listed as the next game with "TBC" next to it but it could just be fake...no way of knowing for sure this early on.

[@IDyce88]

***** why would it be more like the originals? and there is no way it will be...cause if it is real it is a sequel to SSX 2012 so it is probably less of a "sequel" and more of an "expansion" of the same gaming experience SSX 2012 brought us. I don't know what problem some people have with SSX 2012...LOOK this is how mountains work; I actually was speaking with someone the other day who thought the early ones made more sense. HOW I mean how many of you people have even BEEN to a real ski resort; when you ride down slopes they INTERCONNECT with each other like in SSX 3, SSX On Tour and SSX 2012...the early games like Tricky were fun yes but geographically made zero sense...you don't just magically appear at the top of a slope then go down to the bottom. Slopes interconnect with each other, they connect together...it's how it works. YES SSX is meant to be unrealistic but only in how unrealistic the riding and tricks and survival aspect is...in every other way it should look and seem as realistic and awesome as possible. SSX 2012 used NASA satellite data to create insane versions of real life mountains; what we rode in SSX 2012 were REAL mountains only edited to be more dangerous; real places, real locations...the only fictional place in it is Mt Eddie. IMO the best thing they can do is EXPAND on what SSX 2012 was, don't remove ANYTHING...just give us more, so we still have all the characters n mountains from 2012...just give us new mountains and new characters n maybe add in some more background story or I don't know...some kind of interaction interface between characters so that they can talk to each other not just on but also off the mountain...cause backstory of characters has always been such a huge focus for the makers of SSX. I know everything there is to know about the characters of SSX and all of them have a lot of info...if you don't believe me just ask a question.

[@IDyce88]

***** they were to do with the story of the first SSX (also known as SSX World Tour by some because it was a world tour): the non playable characters like Ron n Molly were just other people trying to become a part of the circuit. the story was that as it was the first SSX tournament at the time you play as one of eight promising riders who were starting to stand out above all the other riders; Mac, Kaori, Elise, Moby, Zoe, JP, Jurgen and Hiro. A year later SSX Tricky World Tour is held and the circuit is now exclusive to those that could qualify...not just anyone (which is why there were loads in the first one but only 12 in the second). u might even notice that some of the names of the ai characters in the first SSX became names of characters in Tricky (luther was one n I think Brody was too).

[@IDyce88]

***** interesting fact; SSX Tricky TECHNICALLY had 13 characters but no one version of the game had all of them; they all had Elise, Kaori, Moby, Zoe, JP, Psymon, Eddie, Seeiah, Brody, Marisol, Luther but the US version had Mac Fraser as #12 and the UK n EU had Marty Stieber as #12 (Mac's cousin)

[@IDyce88]

***** I don't have a problem with any character...except Luther, he is just all around bad news and plain nasty...all the other have a part to play and are awesome in their own way, IMO this would be the ideal SSX Cast: Mac, Kaori, Elise, Moby, Zoe, Psymon, JP, Hiro, Marisol, Marty, Eddie, Allegra, Viggo, Griff, Nate, Tyson, Sid, Skye, Maya, Felix, Ty, Alexis, Tane. Luther isn't coming back cause I hate him, Jurgen isn't cause as much as I would like to...he is very old so i'm being logical...Marty is part German though so he can be our German guy :D, Seeiah isn't because again...getting on age wise...I was thinking a new character could replace her. Brody....meh after seeing Tane who is practically a way cooler version of Brody I just thought there was no point (another American vs a Fijian....going with the Fijian I think :D).
