This motion-comic-style trailer for EA's SSX tells the story of Zoe Payne and her transition from motocross racing back into the dangerous and snowy world of SSX. Apparently she believes it's easier to "defy reality" and "own the planet" from a snowboard than a bike. Makes ... sense?

You know, if you just, like, relax, the music will be a lot easier to take.

It'd be cooler if character introduction trailer also showed some gameplay footage of the character.

I see all my favorite characters will be making it into the new SSX. lets hope to see Eddie make an appearance also. SSX3 is still my favorite of the series.

@onslaughtree Eddie is confirmed. He is a preorder bonus at gamestop.

This trailer doesn't do it for me, but I'm so getting this game.
I can't recall another time in my life when there were so many must-haves for me in a 6 month time span. H:CEA, Saints Row 3, SSX, Mass Effect 3, UMvC3, Dark Souls. And that's not even including all the other triple-A releases dropping in that timeframe that I might pick up on impulse.
God damn you, gaming industry, you beautiful bastard.

For a similar reason why gamers bitch about every god damn thing they come across I suppose.

Why do they bother with these? They're making me like the characters of SSX a lot less. If you're doing backstory for a character it should have a little more depth to it than an internet dating profile.

Pretty disappointed by this trailer. All the others were gameplay of the character and they get to Zoe and she gets the comic book treatment. Kind of a shame cause she's my favorite from the past. No matter what I'm still looking forward to the game.

I bought SSX as a launch title for ps2 and I loved it!

Dear Gaming Industry,
This is the kind of useless crap you could easily cut to reduce production costs and allow your talented artists to put their precious time where it's worth it.
Thank you.

I just want Psymon to be playable.
His voice-overs were the best as was his gear in SSX 3

That trailer was fairly lame, but it's true: It's far easier to do awesome stuff on skis/snowboard than a motorbike, because if you mess up you get a lot less hurt.
Yes, you can get messed up just as bad on snow, but usually you just pick up, brush off, maybe get your breath back and go again. On bike, even with all that extra padding, almost any spill is painful.
Add that to most ski runs giving you a lot more freedom than most bike runs (for that same fun on bike you need open dunes) and I certainly enjoyed skiing a lot more than motocross.

Got to play this yesterday morning at PAX. Surprised they're calling this build pre-alpha, as it looked pretty slick and played super smooth. I can't wait for this game! This and Starhawk will eat my 2012. Hermit soon.
