    Hi John, thanks for posting this. I worked on this game as a 3D artist when I was with EA, I also worked on Tricky, and the ill fated SSX on Tour. So cool to see this again, brings back a lot of good memories. Hopefully your video inspires people who have never tried the game to check it out. Thanks again.

      eh, SSX OT wasn't as bad as many hardcore fans say. it just took the series a slightly different direction, and so was hated just on principle.

      iansteelmatheson tbh..I love both, amazing soundtracks unique in their own way, the Og characters were still there just as adversaries to overcome. Both were great..now blur was shit

      Thank you for your work/contributions. Love the SSX series. Bought SSX3 digitally day one when it was available on the Xbox One X. The art your team did has held up so beautifully.

    • @malcolm341
      @malcolm341 6 лет назад +77

      Thanks a lot for that, SSX3 was a huge passion project for the team at that time which is why it turned out so good. I still have my copy of SSX, Tricky, 3, and On Tour for the ps2, couldn't bare to part with them even though I sold my ps2 years ago.

    • @julianreed7
      @julianreed7 6 лет назад +23

      malcolm341 Historical artifacts. Hold onto them tight. Have always been dying to ask an artist/developer this question. When you were working on this game, could you have ever imagined in your wildest dreams that it would be rereleased 15+ years later, running at 4k on a totally different piece of hardware? How crazy was it to watch this video? What's the feeling like that because of the work the Xbox back compat team did, your work will live on in the Xbox ecosystem (digitally and on disc) forever?

      @InnuendoXP 6 лет назад +46

      Ryan Gosling most Indie games are games sure, but they often don't have the tight design and production values that a larger studio under a big publisher will have, when dealing with games attempting to live up to 2000s-era titles.
      big publishers meanwhile, want everything to be a damn blockbuster with microtransactions and in-game purchases up the wall.
      if SSX 3 were released today, rider outfits and board designs would be paid DLC, there'd be a frustratingly slow progression grind that you can "choose" to pay extra to accelerate, and it would shoehorn online components all over the place constantly interrupting and taking you out of the singleplayer experience.
      there'd also be a long tedious unskippable tutorial sequence

      Welcome to Valhalla i mean look at the comparison... " pays $500 to play year old games "... vs paying $300-$400 to play awesome new games that push the hardware and change the landscape of exclusives... neir, yakuza, persona, horizon, Detroit.... i mean nintendo has been doing backwards comp for years... it's a cool feature that's meant to be in the background... only reason Microsoft is pushing it is because they aren't giving their fans any new ips because they have little to no in house studios... and nostalgia is a powerful tool soo its a win for them... " YAY we get to play black ops 2 on your xbox one... sony officially just lost"... yup they definitely did... thier fans get to play the last guardian, bloodbourne and god of war meanwhile we get to play black ops 2

    • @AngeAlexiel

      sony makes great exclusives, and i love them for this only reason, the rest for me is better on xbox one from the after sales services ( sony's one since the ps1 is a mess in europe really )
      but the issue with sony is that as a Japanese company they do not really listen to the feedback for their community like Microsoft does, because the way nintendo , sony and all Japanese company that are distributed all across the world is in fact totally different compared to Western compagnies... it is a shame but it is the way it is... until now

    Although I personally feel like Sony has been the superior platform this generation in terms of quality console exclusive titles, they really could take a page from Microsoft's books when it comes to backwards compatibility instead of recharging us for games we already own on the PlayStation store.

    • @Redacted30
      @Redacted30 6 лет назад +10

      I can understand their reasoning with PS3, but it pains me to see that they can’t leverage their PS1/PS2 library on PS4. Two of the greatest consoles of all time and they can’t even give decent support on PS4.
      Next gen will place a higher priority on backwards compatibility, with digital libraries, Games as a Service and the x86 architecture, so there’s no excuse.

    • @GENEHAHN50
      @GENEHAHN50 6 лет назад +4

      RedDragonGamingHD I agree 100% but that is also business suicide because the architecture of the PS3 was infamously very different & difficult to program. This is why the very 1st version of PS3 ($600 which I paid for) had a separate hardware chip to be able to play PS2 games. This was quickly removed to lower the price of the PS3 to compete with XBOX 360.
      Sony's way to fix backwards compatibility is to charge you $24.95/month to stream all the older games through their PLAYSTATION NOW service which to laggy and significantly pricey. This is said to be the future of gaming.
      I kept my PS3 console to play PS2 & PS3 games in all its glorious 720p resolution on my 4K monitor.😭😭😭 I'm not going to throw away $600.

      @MrReddragongamingHD 6 лет назад +4

      To be fair you do have a point, the Cell processor in the PS3 is infamously difficult to develop for, let alone emulate (although the PS3 emulator RPCS3 has made great progress over on the PC). That said, that same excuse isn't valid for their older library of PS2/PS1 games, which have been emulated fine on other platforms for years. Even the PSP can play PS1 games. Its understandable that they're a company and their goal first and foremost is to make money, but surely they could allow owners of the disk free downloads like on the Xbox.

    • @MrReddragongamingHD
      @MrReddragongamingHD 6 лет назад +4

      Yeah I completely agree, they may have valid reasons in not provding backwards compatibility for PS3 games but IMO they have no real excuse other than greed for PS1/PS2.

    • @Emo_Parker
      @Emo_Parker 6 лет назад +11

      Not sure about Sony, but I'm certain Microsoft will make BC a huge marketing point for their next console. After all, Microsoft isnt making much/any money off of making these old games compatible. It must be for the future. The next Xbox will likely be able to play OG, 360, and One games.

    • @MortonSeinfeld
      @MortonSeinfeld 6 лет назад +11

      Not quite right to say they don't make anything, many of them (at least the "enhanced" ones) are for sale on the Store and some have been rereleased physically (like GTA4 and Red Dead).
      Anyway, I'd be really disappointed if the PS5 isn't at least fully backwards compatible with the PS4. Would be a deal breaker.

      @jokerzwild00 6 лет назад +6

      If they stick with an x86-64 architecture all current generation games should run natively on the next Xbox and PS5, with no emulation. The only reason they wouldn't is if they are arbitrarily blocked off. There's no telling what Sony is going to do as they are the market leader and have no real incentive to include these kind of added value features, but it's almost assured on the next Xbox.

    Sony fan here. I'd just like to say that this game is damn near perfect. The atmosphere, the game play and that amazing sound track.
    My mom got this for my birthday when it released on PS2 and I fell in love. This game is special to me. And I can tell that the reviewer feels similar.
    I'm just really happy some people can enjoy this masterpiece. The Xbox One S and X do this game justice. I won't be rushing out to buy one, but it won't stop me from appreciating it.
    My favorite song on the soundtrack is Bear Witness III by DJ Qbert and Dan the Automator. That song doesn't come on the physical CD for this games sound track, but I was fortunate to find the single on vinyl to this song and it got me into record collecting. I can't praise this game enough. Enjoy it if you have it!

      PS4 is reserved for Japanese games.

    this game brings tears to my eyes because the music was so great, ditto for nba street vol 2, and vice city / san andreas, and i dont have a steady stream of cool new modern music to listen to.

    The PS2 version looks great in 4K, on PCSX2.

    The gameplay holds up so well. SSX Tricky and SSX 3 are both amazing games in their own rights. While not as many liked SSX On Tour, I still enjoyed it. I play all of these games on PC from time to time thanks to emulation. Got the original discs as well.
    SSX 2012 does not really feel like SSX. It is a decent enough snowboarding game, but even with classic controlls it just did not feel as satisfying to play. It lacked the visual pop of the stylised tracks. It lacked force behind impacts. Railing was made easier with rail magnetism. Making mistakes was not as punishing etc... It's jump to photo-realism and simplifying already simple controls did it no favours.
    Not saying the game as a whole was easier. There were tracks that was difficult to do, at times being rage inducing even. You know what? I think I am gonna dig for my PS3 and refresh my memory on SSX 2012. Because right now I am critisising a game based on years old memories.
