SSX4 Announcement Imminent, Criterion Developing?

It appears that Craig Sullivan, the creative director of Criterion games (known for their magnificent Burnout Paradise series on PS3 and Xbox360), has been giving subtle hints as to their next project. The tweets "Elise on Snowdream" and "MONSTER TRICK" can only mean one thing: SSX is back. Given the demand for an HD AAA snowboarding title, it seems logical that EA would make an announcement at this summer's upcoming E3 Expo. Quite frankly, we couldn't be more excited.

Amongst the more glaring series that have been missing this generation have been SSX and Twisted Metal -- I would love to see either make an appearance this E3.

FACTUAL evidence5836d ago

I READ THE COMMENT IN THE ARTICLE......FREAKIN FANBOYS! Sorry for the caps.

Rainstorm815836d ago (Edited 5836d ago )

SSX started to die off last gen but this is the perfect time to bring it back.

SSX1 is still my favorite snowboarding game period.

Criterion Gets the job done everytime since Burnout 1, That would be a great pick for the devs on a new SSX.

Coheno5836d ago

Please let it be true! It would indeed be amazing!

Coheno5836d ago

I would love a new Burnout too and not a NFS game... Paradise is sooo good, I still play it!

MEsoJD5835d ago (Edited 5835d ago )

I have every ssx on ps2. Best snowboarding game ever. I don't recognize the wii game. We need a true hd sucessor for this almost forgotten franchise.

InfectedDK5835d ago

YES! Hope it turns out real! Loved SSX Tricky!
Thought of Shaun White Snowboarding but nah.. I want my SSX :)

Lord Vader5835d ago

I have been waiting & waiting & waiting... PLEASE bring SSX Tricky to HD gamers = PLEASE !!!!!!!!!

Information Minister5835d ago (Edited 5835d ago )

This is beyond amazing! I've been waiting for this announcement ever since the 360/PS3 got released. And with Criterion developing?! Freakin day 1!

BTW, wouldn't this technically be SSX 6? There were 4 games on the PS2 (SSX, SSX Tricky, SSX 3, SSX on Tour) and 1 on the Wii (SSX Blur).

Will we ever see burnout paradise 2 :[

spunnups5836d ago

Yeah, though SSX wouldn't be a bad idea either. Haven't seen a good Snowboarder since SSX Tricky.

GiantEnemyCrab5836d ago (Edited 5836d ago )

Yes please...

.... with sugar on top

Stoked is not too bad but nothing is like the SSX series for me. I still play it on the 360 thanks to back compat.

I would trust Criterion to do a good with it.. Just as long as they don't pull a Paradise and completely mess with what makes the game good.

Megaton5836d ago

Burnout Paradise was awesome. Put something like 200 hours into that game, at least 150 of that being online with friends. Favorite arcade racer this gen.

alphakennybody5836d ago

Criterion, make it as fun as ssx tricky!(good'ol days)

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle1d 17h ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk771d 14h ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Nuvem1d 17h ago

Where is the remake?!!!

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde8d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy9d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga10d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer19929d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga9d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman9d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger9d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box10d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion9d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7210d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent759d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit9d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14910d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7710d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
