SSX (2012)	TheGreaser 2022-10-26 04:17	Some would say that the 2012 reboot of the SSX game would be a black sheep game, as would GTA IV would attest. And it would. First revealed at the Spike VGA in 2010 under the working title of "SSX: Deadly Descents", this entry (which would be the last) was meant to be a darker take of the snowboarding sport. Now, cast your mind back to February 28th, 2012. The game had been released to store shelves and EA thought this would also be a hit, considering the high-profile first-person shooter, Battlefield 3 had going for, and given EA Sports' decent reputation at a time when the Madden and FIFA games weren't so reliant on microtransactions, SSX '12 would've been the "it" game for snowboarders. Despite decent reviews it was a commercial failure and how and why nobody seems to talk about this underrated game is a mystery to me. But in regards to that franchise, it's been moribund since then - hence why Steep came into the picture. What set SSX 2012 apart? An edgier take, with traces of Burnout names. The advent of new items like oxygen masks and wingsuits. A full roster of characters. Globetrotting the snow-capped mountaintops of the real world. And a largely forgettable soundtrack. More than a decade has elapsed since then and the reason why it wasn't added was because there were no cars. You have a helicopter that follows you around every stage, noting your performances. Much as to say "where my heart races, my Buick follows". (Peggy Hill's line from King of the Hill episode 'The Son That Got Away') Until now. Is the game worth it? Yes. Shame about the franchise though, as it was the last one before it was lost in the wind. This entry is relatively easy by comparison.
