They should make a ski game that has realistic physics with every type of spin variation possible, (rodeo's flats, misty's, bio's, corks,... etc....).

And also have it completely free roam in between mountains. Be able to purchase a house, cars, sleds, real ski gear, clothing, everything.

You should be able to go do urban as someone said in the freeride game thread, and be able to build a kicker to any object however you want wherever you want. Have cops and such too, crazy old people and harsh security guards.

Same with backcountry, you should be able to take off your skis and carry them. And also ride your sled and explore the back country. Find hidden big lines. And ALSO have a "kicker building editor". Basically the same thing as the urban thing. You should be able to fly to other cities and big name mountains (which should be modeled after the real mountain.) Have real name pro riders, join crews, enter comps (big air, slopestyle, rail jams).

Also, there should be lots of animation of other pedestrian skiers and boarders on whichever mountain you are at.

Be able to have full ski customization, where you want to mount bindings and that sort. Have each ski have real butter points and stuff.

Hmmm what else.... oh. Have jobs and stuff, like you can be a local ski instructor, a liftee to get your wage, or a groomer (if you have a groomer job, you should be able to be a park designer too. And if you make good parks everyone likes, you keep your job and get bonuses.$$$)

Oh and have a little story line, but more of a free roam story. You move to the mountains from who knows where, you're a no name, and start off as a ski bum being a local liftee or whatever at a "home mountain." Build your way up, save money to travel to contests and pay for entry fees.

Pick up sponcers, go to photo shoots like in amped.

Have everything. They should be able to make a game with all those features on the next generation consoles too. Like aren't those blue ray disks 40gb or something? Like think of the possiblitys for games. They could make them so ridicuously large and indepth easily. They have so much more resources now to do so.

A video game company should do it. It'd be like, what tony hawks pro skater did for skateboarding, but for skiing.

That's what I think. It'd be awesome. Everyone would buy it just because it would be so in depth and have so much customization. It'd kick every other extreme sports game ass by far. They should do it. Someone just has to convince a really good, high production video game company to do it.
 
wicked idea, but i doubt it will happen anytime soon. I dont see why they cant just modify the amped models and movements and then re-release it. That way thay wouldnt spend that much money on a game that will likely only sell to newschool skiers
 
you hit the nail on the head with prettymuch everything. the whole job part might get boring, just cause it sounds to much like the sims and i hate that game, but whatever
 
Man, but if it was a good game. Everyone would buy it. Not only skateboarders bought Tony Hawk's games. Over half the people that plkay those games are a bunch of people who have never skated ever in there life. Same with SSX. Tons of people who have never boarded or gone skiing play that game all the time.

It's just gotta be a solid game in general and everyone will play it.
 
if u made it just as described except with the option of skiing or snowboarding i think it would have a much more realistic chance of making it as a popular game.
 
also make sure it has a good control scheme, either exactly like amped where the right thumbstick controls all rotation and allows for style points or some similar variation of that. And i tihnk it would have to be ski and snowboard game but u could have actual competitions such as the xgames
 
I* dont think that is quite possible and i dont think it would appeal to a big enough crowd also i think after a while the hiking in the game would just start to get annoying , also it would take for ever to program like 5 years, but ya that would be a sweet game if it were possible. i dont know maybe it is but it is doubtful.
 
your description would be awesome.

i think realistically, it would have to be a game where you could be either a skier or boarder, otherwise it just wouldnt get made.

but nothing else would have to change. the free roaming environment would be sweet, a realistic physics engine would be essential, and you could still do the bc and urban things.

itd be the grand theft auto of ski games.

im barring up just thinking about it.
 
make it kinda like GTA but for skiing, it would be on the same basis that u can roam around in the viallages of the ski reasorst and have the urbans there, and then be able to take a chairlitf up, and u have a certain amount of money, and if you dont have enough for a lift ticket you would have to hike till u get enough.
 
Multiplayer would be key, imagine a hill with 64+ people all doing their own thing, cruising the park, hitting some urban, riding the pipe, dropping cliffs, and who knows maybe people filming + taking pictures.

Full customization on clothing is also very important, and somehow be able to customize your grabs in the options so you can get the tweak you want.
 
yeh, make it web capable so everyone on the hill is actually playing the game around the world somwhere.

you would have to fight for fresh tracks with everyone else, you can watch everyone else, join others doing urban or hiking bc. the possibilities are endless.

but again, im guessing the only way anything like this could come about would be if it had the option to snowboard and ski.
 
i like it... like have options in career 2 go big a fatty jump... hit a urban never scene... get in movies... get money 2 do a comp... and such i have always thought of this but never typed it
 
have that but for the jobs and stuff you should be able to speed up time so a 6 hour shift turns into 2 realtime minutes on the game. that would be such a fun game though.
 
i think it should have like a tony hawk style create your own park, design your own terrain park, that would be sick
 
i was just thinking, if they made a ski game like grand theft auto it would be wicked. various missions, free roam between mountains...and in gta when you get on trains you move around, have the same in gondola's and trains and snow tours from mtn to mtn
 
the orig. idea is the worst game ever.

yeah, dude. i want to be a groomer in the game.

fucking AWESOME.

it needs to be a cross between amped2 and ssx on tour.

or just put some fucking skiers in amped 2.

its not that complicated...
 
I actually really like the sounds of the first pitch here...and the other options...and every other thread about this...and the ones before and after that. The best way to make this game happen is to have Snowboarding and Freeskiing right along side each other, fully playable, equal in all aspects of the game...too small of a market with just freeskiing.
 
SSx On Tour is somewhat realistic I think. The only thing that isn't realistic is the "monster" tricks, which I dont do anyway.
