This game is the first game with story spoilers. Something we've never had to deal with before. So this topic will be the place for central story discussion. This includes but isn't limited to the cut scenes and the final track.

You can speak freely in this topic, no use of spoiler code is required but know that anything beyond this first post more than likely will contain open spoilers so if you want to stop reading, now would be a good time to leave this topic.

Keep all story discussion confined to this thread.

Death Zone looked really fun. I only got to watch the video though.
This thread is going to kill me until tomorrow..but I love it.

During the ending sequence...



UGHHHHHH. They HAD him. Why Smillie.....

OMG, I knowwwww!!! When I saw that, I raged.

I feel like the story was really predictable but very very addictive haha

And that pic is such a tease lol

DJ Atomika's role was perfect, and I loved the cinematic quality of Story Mode. Without both of those, it would be beyond meh.

I kinda wished he narrated the range intro's too.

Think Zoe did a better job, actually. If DJ Atomika had any more role, I would have wanted him to DJ at the start of tracks, heh.

There were three in charge of SSX so it felt like in the end, Mac and Tane had no role whatsoever. They should have narrated some too, maybe.

Oh that's a good point, yeah.

I could have done without the comic animations and a constant highlighting of a certain someone's name...

Didn't know about the final drop "Death Zone" until I played it for myself.

The song was awesome, I'd love to see more 1v1 boss battles like that.

there was much gnashing of teeth in New Zealand in in the death zone. after playing world tour mode I am convinced that I want NO PART of any more racing or surviving ever again let alone surviving + anything else at the same time.

seriously. I'm only doing trick events.

The light plot was were crafted imo, but could have used a little more interaction or something. I love Zoe's "I love you Moby, but we both knew who would come off at top in this race" or something like that

I guess what I'm trying to say is I'll wish they would have referenced past relationships(coughcoughMac/KaoricoughMoby/ZoecoughcoughMobyvsPysmoncoughcough) in this new game. No mention of rivalries or anything. They're all just one big happy family it seems. And as much as I love Zoe, I wish the other two SSX co-founders would have made more of an appearance and taken the lead. The light story doesn't really give me a taste of what the characters are like either, only when I play as them in race/trick events do I heard they're quotes and define their personalities. I didn't have my exceptions high on this but World Tour was clearly not what I was expecting (in terms of characters). Even the small pre-event cutscenes from Tricky gave me more of an idea of what the characters personalities and style were like then in this game.

Little things like Red's hopeless crush for Elise amuse me tho
I liked being forced to play as everyone too.
And the love the way you knock out people in WT as well. The in-game interaction was by no means missing. I very much enjoy it.
Overall, the light plot was okay and the way it navigates was expected. It's 'light' for a reason and I know SSX is not about storyline, but I wish they would have done a little more for the other characters other then Zoe.

Didn't know where to place this, so what better topic then the World Tour topic.

I noticed that error as well.

ok so, moby's level 1, he's using a level 6 board and when i do trick it everyone hits like 100,000 instantly it seems like but i can barely get 20,000 until like a little ways in.

-_- how in the world.

Did anyone else think that the warm ups for the DDs were way harder than the actual descent itself?

Maybe a stupid question but I just started the world tour, and it forces me to use Zoe, but I don't want to play through the whole thing with Zoe, I first want to play through with Mac and eventually try other chars.
How the hell do I switch to another character to play world tour? Or is this really impossible?

^you are forced to play with a new person on each mountain


it really isnt that bad bro

playing as everyone in WT gets them all to around level 5 or so. it makes sense in the wt when you're playing. explore and ge's are where you can play as whoever.
