SSX 4 Predictions => Suggestions

[Shacknasty_Jim]

like if the mountain was 360degrees around, then there technically won't be any out of bounds areas....meaning you couldn't jump outside of a course....you could but you would still be on the moutain, just outside the course, therefore making wormholes impossible...but a 360degree mountain leads to other problems, like could there be more than peak, etc. but it would eliminate wormwholes and more for one hell of a ride down the mountain.

I like this for freeride, but for actual events, I think it's nice to have some course stucture, just maybe not as tight as in SSX3. Like, what I'm saying is when you enter an actual event, boundaries are placed around it so that you can't just transfer to another course (this is sort of obvious...I doubt EA would make it so that was possible). But having a 360 degree mountain would be unbelievable (in the sense of awesome, not the sense of unrealism). Much more to explore, to be sure. Or if having the courses be connected in the middle would be too complicated, at least have the backcountry have no out of bounds. Oh man, that would be sweet

Our suggestion don''t matter i think, EA BIG doesn't check this thread, such a shame IMO

[vix]

my suggestion was more of a way to get rid of wormholes...

but i think it would be neat...for races and showoff and events, "ropes and hay bails" could be put up to symbolize a track but since the mountain would be soooo huge there would be tons of backcountry as well...

just think, as you freeride you can criss cross through courses but when you race, you're confined with that orange mesh fencing, making it somewhat realistic.

i TOTALLY agree . Jesus, its just like cheating ffs!

[Jonipoon]

Take a look at this

Aint that a cool mountain... it fits SSX 4....

[vix]

i don't know if it's been said before...probably....but when the scores are shown after the run is over...instead of 5438746 show it as 5,438,746

[Jonipoon]

Yeh-- that would be better..

That would confuse non-American people. If they're gonna separate thousands, they should use a space.

Similarly, they should make the numbers fixed-width. The "1" in SSX3 looks like a lower-case L ("l"), and a score like 5181611 looks lower than a score like 603945.

[vix]

Yeah, that is true...couldn't they format it for country specific "dividers" or would it be easier to do a fixed-width?

Yeah, the 1 in ssx3 irrated me...they coulda picked a better font

[mapesy14]

They're using skis. That's all I know!

The 1/I/l all looked the same, like an l. The font they chose was horrible, especially for chatting and stuff.

[Bombshell86]

Maybe this thread could be placed in the SSX4 sub-forum?

[vix]

i moved this here and unstickied it for now since it's a small forum...

I hope they pick a much better font where it's more readable as well as widen the space between each letter...some of the letters seemed to melt into each other.

[livingsacrifice98]

DO you think they will make the skier use one foot when you press the right anolog stick down and up?

[Frost]

I think it would be awsome if you can save you ghost. That would be good for a couple of reasons. First of all you would know if you are going better if you are trying to beat your old time and maybe somehow you would be able to send your ghosts to merq and see if other people can beat them. I think that would be fucking crazy.

[eviltim]

ATV Offroad Fury 3 online gave me an idea for what SSX 4 online could do.

On ATV, there is a feature that allows you to download the ghost lap times of the peoples' best lap times online.

SSX 4 could be done in a similar manner where the record run is saved onto the server as a replay, and when you set a personal record score, you have the option of putting out onto the server for other people to see it .
I think it is a good idea.

I gave that idea a while back, along with allowing it to be used online and stuff. I think it would work amazingly. It supports everything that Frost just said.

Any news about online things really? The most important thing to me is that it stays online actually...(cause of that I met a whole lot of cool people, got tonns better at playing and that's also how I ended up here and by coming here I got to CE and met many of you guys...)

Will they have a monthly payment? One part of me wants that as then there wouldn't be all this online crap...if u got a hard disk with the game(like FFXI) then they could even make patches and remove bugs that came later...On the other side...I play very many monthly payment games and it get's expensive...and I have one hell lot of trouble to convince my mum every time to give me her credit card in order for me to play..which she resents extremely...so if they have monthly fees..then have gaming cards like world of warcraft...those cards are just awesome.

Oh and how do I get rid of that times and scores thing beneath my pic? That score was like done two weeks after I started playing online...can't remember now what my high score is as it's been around 9 months since I played it...but somewhere around 3,6-3,8mill so I dun want that score there...kinda humiliating...

I think it's 100% sure thet SSX4 will be online playable, but the question is, againts how many human opponents?

[vix]

Madeo, you can't get rid of the scores and times link, it's something that came along with the new scoreboard....once the new scoreboard is up, just submit your new scores.

[Bombshell86]

EA has announced their E3 line up. REALLY strange is the fact that SSX4 isn't in that Line up!!

[vix]

link?

[archie]

i think having a hundreth of a second timer would be great, so that offline times can be set apart i.e two racers get 2:30 but with hundreths of a second it would become 2:30.12 and 2:30.20, this way we could find a winner and not have joint first places.

[Chandler07]

Something I (or maybe someone else) may have mentioned before, but I'm not gonna go thru all 26 pages:

Multiple ways to progress in the game. If you don't like racing, you should still be able to compete in all freestyle events instead of being forced to race to open up the next peak or whatever EA's gonna use in SSX4. Surely ("stop calling me Shirley...") they could implement a different set of requirements based on a player's preference?

[Yeloway]

My Top suggestions would be:

1. change Kaori's voice to sound younger

2. make the courses more like SSX Tricky, both racing and freestyle (aren't they ready doin this in SSX4?)

3. rid Viggo (which i think they already did...)

[Jonipoon]

Why does it feels like Viggo's gonna be in SSX 4? Could it depend on the skis?
