EA skiing game

legit... sooo legit
but u cant just snap into bang u gotta stomp the trick and i think to grip rails and boxes u could like push the L3 or R3 buttons on the annalog sticks to grip
 
If i could make the game.It would have the same ragdoll physics as skate. You can choose park or backcountry for your career. Someone said that but i forgot who. And it should have real comps and spots. Id put in the Xgames, that redbull thing, DewTour and spots like chads. You can customize clothes and get sponsors like saga and amplid. That would be the perfect ski game.
 
These has been some great discussion here in terms of what people want to see in a game. I seem to see a lot of people very interested in the learning curve integrated into the game through the use of not standard control methods. I seem to sense the urge for a open ended control scheme that allows you to do anything! In addition to this people want a game thats true to skiing has tons of urban environment that are full of content to interact with.
These ideas are great and I think would really create a ski game that is worth playing for more than a week. Many games in the past like Tony Hawk's pro skater or Amped snow board games had a very limited game play depth and not much of a learning curve and provided continuous entertainment through increased number of features larger maps and more ridiculous tricks. Not to say these weren't fun games they just didn't add a lot of depth. I think these things I mentioned are key elements that are needed to make a game sell able to some on NS however I do believe that if you ever want to see a game like this picked up by a big developer such as EA or Activision your going to need a simpler control method as well to satisfy the million other fans who want a button masher. I really think there is room in a game by a large developer for an "easy" and "realistic" mode to co-exits. I think this is what it may come be some time down the road, not that I necessarily support this but it may be away for a developer to increase sales and continue to improve on the core fundamentals of the game.
With that said there is one thing that I haven't seen mention after reading through this thread (I haven't read everything so I may have missed it). Realism in my mind is essential. There are already to many games that provide incredible stunts, with go anywhere, do anything environments. However none of these provide any sort of realistic body movements, crashes and character to character interaction. I tend to see developers create their game engine and then move on to "improving graphics" or adding and insane amount of more terrain rather that improving how the charter interacts with the environment. However there is a very interesting solution that has been created, called Euphoria by NaturalMotion. Its an extension that can be added to a game engine to provide realistic body movements, interactions and essentially self preserving characters. This video shows some simulations about the software and how it can be used.

I think that integration of a simulation program like this would ad a layer of realism to simulate what happens when a skier falls, how hi body would interact with a rail, jump, tree ect. In my mind crashing, falling and injury are all key elements in skiing and are some of the major things that teach how to improve on the trick you are trying to attempt. With a basic environment theres nothing telling you what you did wrong, why you fell, or where you messed up. With a system like this you are able to see exactly how you body in the game moved and interacted with the environment and will be able to correct that the next time around.
You also have to realize that this is not some demo software, it has actually been released and used in a few games already and I have seen first hand (i own one of the games) how it can dramatically enhance gameplay and realism. I don't know exactly how much the licensing fees are for a system like this but if a game were to be picked up by a serious developer with some sort of capitol I think this would be achievable. I also think that the game would be pretty awesome if it did happen... Thats all..
 
Greaat video above.. we should also get some pros in the design studios too. They would be able to give the game a more realistic perspective! Bring in all types of bros though. More than Todd Wallnuts and Hornbeck, though it would be super sick to see their style in the game.
Sorry for the double post, too.
 
i would say that a skiing video game would be sick and all i would play but there isnt that big of a market for skiing games just look at Shaun White Snowboarding although its not a skiing game we all have to face as skiers that freestlye snowboarding is more popular than freestlye skiing and that games sells for 10 dollors its hard to think that anyone made money off that game i think we should just stick to Jibbin
 
def put these ideas in. youve heard it all before, i have nothing new to add to the ideas.. BUT there is a game coming out for xbox and ps3. not anytime in the next hal a year, but they have a fb fan page thats being updated every few days with images and stuff like that.. Jib Life. if any of you remember the story NS did on them. yea.
 
I"VE ALWAYS WANTED A GAME LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*make it like Skate

-the game will be awsome

he can't say people wouln't buy it because not every skis, but alot of people play madden that don't play football
 
This is very true. just because people dont ski doesn't mean there not interested. You'd be surprised how many people ski a little or are even interested in it but just dont have th opportunity to do it. This game of course would be no COD, however I think there would be a strong backing from people like us
 
Like everyone said, Just like Skate, but with comps and stuff at some of the major resorts so you have to win money to buy new gear. Have some cities in there for Urbans also.
 
everyone needs to look at the previous page. a kid pretty much sums up everyone's ideas.
look for the novel.
 
my friends dads brother in-law says it is coming out in a week, only to the pros though. they need to try it out first to make sure everything is good then they will release it to the public
 
It would be cool if to get Shane McConkey you had to pay gamer points or whatever and it could go to his family. and you could be saucer boy
 
also make shure that you are able to edit online. like make an actual ski movie.. think about the levels people would go threw watch a movie and copy a whole movie segment how awesome would that be and also have thing such as building backcountry jumps and have the compotions that we have now like x games dewtour then go and have parks like CoC or windells. how sick would that be.?
 
if the controls were similar to that of "skate" it would be sikkk! like grabs with (playstation) L1, L2, and R1, R2 buttons, presses and mannies with joy sticks aswell as olliing and stuff, other joystick for spins and flips. buttons for pumping speed and stuff. the grabs should be tweat able too with the joystick, rail switch up using joystick to ollie and the other joystick to spin into the switch up and stuff and u can press into rails and stuff like that . to get onto rails u just have to get the angle and slide onto them and u can balance using joysticks on the rails. and just stuff like skate... would be super sick if it happend
 
oh wait, i think i heard something about this a while back.......

it was 3 years ago, and they had already been "working" on it for 6 years before that

but i have heard a rumor that the release date is set for december 21 2012
 
AND I DROP POST 2,000 TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR A FUCKING RETARD.

THIS IS ALL CAPS BECAUSE I'M NOW OFFICIALLY IMPORTANT.
