SSX Getting A Demo
EA has confirmed that their upcoming SSX reboot will be getting a demo before the game's actual release early next year.
The game's producer Sean Smillie stated in a recent interview,
“Yeah, there are plans. But I haven’t been told when that’s going to happen."
Smillie also stated that you may have noticed that the tagline "Deadly Descent" was dropped from the title because it just didn't fit in with what the game represents; Race It, Trick It, Survive It. “It sort of has to do with the three pillars of gameplay I’ve always mentioned,” he said.
“With Deadly Descents, we were trying to get across that we had something new and different to do in SSX. I think the messaging was misguided. With Deadly Descents it sort of focused on “Survive It”, but what it didn’t do was reassure people that yes, we are still doing race and trick too. The other parts of the game weren’t being represented properly, so we dropped Deadly Descents and just went with SSX.”
SSX is out in January for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
