First thoughts seeing the trailers was SSX 3, with the huge mountains and such. Sadly, not even close in terms of fun..

InMyOpinion3400d ago

If SSX3 was coded by baboons perhaps.

Errorist763400d ago

So how's the game? Honest opinions please instead of the usual Ubi-hate!

A tech demo of snow gone wrong.

i really enjoyed the first beta, Wingsuit and proximity flying are my favourite part of it.
Controls could use some work, and the L2R2/LtRt to jump while boarding or skiing, issue with it is if you jump with the left and go to grab the left side it sometimes doesnt register, i alternate between the two buttons to make it easier to score big.

Voice over is a joke, and i mean that in a good way
"bro, your awesomeness plus my awesomeness, we will shred this mountain!"

i'd put it in line with Skate over SSX in terms of realism and controls. good game, still needs some work though

Edit:

after playing for about an hour on my lunch break, they've tweaked a few things, one was the walking, now you are able to "sprint" even though its more of a jog, improved loading times as well from what i remember.

heard a friend screaming just before he hit a boulder wingsuiting, love this game lol

Liqu1d3399d ago

If you want an open world sandbox where you can wingsuit, paraglide, skii, snowboard and hike then it's good. There will be an open beta so you can try it for yourself.

Goldby3399d ago

ya open beta is from 18-21st so next weekend

Errorist763399d ago

Sounds great, especially with friends.

Goldby3398d ago

@Errorist,

i had a blast last night doing body bombs with 3 other people.

1 snowboards/skis down hill, three others in wingsuits try to hit him and stop his progress.

also, the deer helmet makes you talk like a deer. 10/10 for that alone. everyone is use to people screamign their head off as they go head first into a boulder. its hilarious everytime you hear a deer screaming as its comign to the ground. never gets old.

If you're gonna make me click so much, at least have a less bot mining looking site.

jakmeup1232215d ago

you my sir are a good man and. But the biggest L is they had was not putting in the division

Lon3wolf2215d ago

Would of swapped out WoW for Division personally.

Sono4212214d ago (Edited 2214d ago )

Nah the biggest L is they forgot to add the Pokemon Sword and Shield Wild area ;) You're supposed to be able to take one step and go from a sunny summer day to a cold cloudy winter right?

In all seriousness though, I would say Uncharted 2 deserves to at least be a runner up.

pwnmaster30002215d ago

Wait so no horizon? Why is it the cover page then lol

porkChop2215d ago

For all it's faults, The Division has some of the best winter atmosphere I've come across. Massive Entertainment really nailed that aspect.

bluefox7552215d ago

Interestingly enough, today was the first "heavy snow" day we've had in PA, it's weird, it's been a pretty mild winter up until this point.

william_cade2215d ago

F' their click-fest article...sleezy does it.

jjb19812215d ago

Where's Battlefield Bad Company 2? You don't even know bro.

why? these are very good games and free.

CoNn3rB2252d ago

BeCaUsE iT's NoT sTeAm! If often the reason why people don't like epic

Mainman1872252d ago

You'd have to pay me to play those games. Even then I'm not so sure.

2252d ago
Spenok2252d ago

Dang, 3 free games for the first 10 days. That's awesome.

Iamnothuman122252d ago

At this rate I won't ever have to buy anything from their store.

Unspoken2251d ago

And you eventually won't have to use any other platform either. Smart move.

Father__Merrin2252d ago

Epic have really looked after people since its launch. i predict the store gets stronger and stronger in the marketplace

luckytrouble2252d ago

Nah. All Epic is doing is building a community of people that will just hang around for the free stuff. People that are happy to take free games aren't going to necessarily overlap with people willing to pay.

Whatever Epic's strategy here is, they aren't exactly doing much as a store.

RazzerRedux2252d ago

I’ve bought a few games on sale there. They have some good deals. It isn’t just about free games, but good deals and free games? Seems like a pretty good store strategy to me.

PMind2252d ago

I have purchased multiple games. Most of the free ones are nothing I would have bought but are a welcome bonus.
