Hey, so I dropped by FREEZE today and had a talk with the folks over there... As far as the near future, a console game is probably not in the cards. From the sound of it after the failures Activision had with games like Matt Hoffman's BMX, and Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer, they've given up on expanding their action sports game line, and are focusing on what they can make a profit on. Acclaim has totally dropped out after their flop with BMX XXX, with a record like this it seems most companies are afraid to take the risk. The good news is, it's not out of the question and time is on our side. If we can continue to bolster our petition and vocalize our desire to own a skiing game on the same caliber as Amped 2 and T.H.U.G. we will be able to get the attention of the game developers out there big and small. Believe me you'd be surprised to learn who sees what we do on this site, I know I was when I did, people are taking notice but we must continue to work on this at every level we can. Everyone that has signed this petition has done alot, but there will be a few of us that will have to go above and beyond, keep that in mind. Keep the names coming.
