Anyone else looking forward to this game as much as me?? Maybe it's because I'm a snowboard junkie in real life and I'm in constant withdrawal stage when I'm not in Europe, but I am fkn psyched for this game. Been playing the demo for the last few hours, can't wait to be able to do more than the demo lets me.

Anyone know what the deal is with the release date though? Official release date was 16th of Feb, but EB and JB are saying March some time? Hurry up dammit!

I was a HUGE fan of ssx on the ps2 and preordered this one as soon as it was available.

Did it through JB. Received an email on Friday saying that they sent it already…

Should receive it tomorrow, hopefully.

Haven't stopped playing the demo either. The new game engine and control mechanics make the game flow really well. The multiplayer is going to be AWESOME.

And the nostalgia once the "tricky" music started looping…

If it arrives tomorrow I'll be jelly, isn't released in store until Thursday.

Agree that multiplayer is going to be great, I can't wait to play online! Also can't wait to try different mods, starting to get sick of this racing down the Rockies business glare.gif

SSX Review

"SSX is a terrific evolution of the series that delivers extreme snowboarding thrills like no game before it"

8.5 / 10

The Good

  • Vast, varied environments with numerous viable routes
  • Impressive visual detail and sense of speed
  • Intuitive control system for tricks
  • Adaptive music provides a terrific accompaniment to your actions
  • Great multiplayer features pit you against thousands of other players.

The Bad

  • Monetization of credits feels like a cash grab
  • No traditional simultaneous multiplayer option.

Personally, I prefer the new multiplayer system...

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
