Damn it: EA Sports boss still not talking new SSX photo

I'll be honest, I'm sick of writing stories that are about how there are no current plans or announcements for a new SSX title. But here we are…

EA Sports head Peter Moore has revealed to Eurogamer that the publisher has no plans to bring back the extreme snowboarding title… or at least it has nothing to announce. But there's hope, as Moore calls SXX "a fabulous piece of intellectual property" and that "you never say never." Instead of saying never, you just tease and upset me, that's what you do.

"It's been a number of years, some people may not even have played an SSX game," Moore says of bringing back the series and the approach the company might take. "You've got to look at the current marketplace and Shaun White coming back again."

Shaun White's a talented kid and he's got hair that makes most clown's blush, but his games with Ubisoft have never come close to the excitement or had the same flavor as the SSX games. This is needed, EA Sports; there's a hole in the market as well as in my heart. Stop screwing around already!

Every time I turn on my 360, I'm sad that there's not an SSX game in the disc tray.

Give me Psymon or give me DEATH. Ever since I lost my copy of SSX 3 I've had a serious lack of Ubertricks in my life.

SSX Tricky was one of the very first games I played on the PS2 and it blew my mind. It was so next-gen!

Tricky was one of the first games I ever owned for PS2. 3 is still one of my favorite games. I want ALL the characters, all the attitude and all the insanity back. SSX was all about the insanity. Shawn White is a real person. Psymon, Mac, Kaori and the others SHOULD be real.

My buddy's PS3 died about a month or so ago, so we hooked up his PS2, through on some SSX3 and got crazy back into the game. I would LOVE to see a new, next gen, multi-platform, SSX game. Day one buy, no questions asked

splurge on the $5 it costs for SSX3 and you will be one of us.

It doesn't matter how many years have passed or how many people haven't played SSX, just bring it back. Awesome games hype themselves, so there's no need to worry, just fucking do it.

Hey Nick! Why doesn't Destructoid start an online petition? I would do it but I am not computer savvy. SSX 3 was one of my favorite games way back in the last-gen days. I hope Mr. Moore isn't using Wii sales of SSX as a barometer for the brand's relevancy. SSX360!!!!!

Actually now that I think about it, a lot of those awesome games from the "EA Sports BIG" label have kind of died off with this current generation. What's up with that??

@king kong five

If I'm not mistaken, the entire BIG branding kinda got assimilated back in the day, most likely taking all of the different franchises associated to it with it. A sad sad fate.

SSX Tricky was one of the two games I brought home with my PS2. That was a glorious day!

they need to bring back EABIG games anyway. i would love to see an EABIG hockey game. as well as a new SSX thats just like 1-3. or even an HD remake of those 3 all on 1 blueray!
on tour was a huge piece of garbage dont put that one in there please.

On Tour was a welcome hold-over. I thought it was something to keep the franchise alive until the "next-gen" version came out. It had a better sense of speed and some of the levels were pretty cool, but really not as good as SSX3.

I would absolutely love SSX to make a come back for the PS3 Xbox 360. SSX 3 is one of my all time favorite games. I really feel that EA is missing a golden opportunity here.

I absolutely loved SSX Tricky. It was so over the top and tight, with trick after trick right at your fingertips. Unfortunately, big time publishers think you have to stick the face of someone famous on the cover, or it won't sell. I have no plans to buy any snow boarding games at all, but I'd buy a new SSX in a heartbeat.

SSX for 3DS = instant sickness, so let's skip that iteration even though it's what every developer is talking about putting their favorite franchises on.
Seriously. I get sick to my stomach playing the normal SSX on a TV. And I keep playing. That's how good this series is. I want one that supports the balance board I no longer use because I thought cool games like this were gonna jump on it!

New Mountain, New Characters (Seriously, I don't want to make my own character, just trick out yours), New hot all over sound track and sweet HD graphics.

That's all you have to do. Step one IS profit!

Stop playin.

If this happens and if it's anything like SSX 3, I'm going to buy multiple copies then have a sex party. Keeping one sealed for safety purposes, of course. Move is an obvious RSVP. Kinect will just have to painfully watch while the Wii get's itself off behind the couch.

SSX was great game till that Will game came out. Which sucked because of the pattern mess.

I already said "F-it" and got an old copy of SSX 3 for my PS2. God, I feel so jaded as a gamer when I feel like no matter what, EA is going to screw up SSX if they make a new one. All I know is I enjoy unlocking characters/boards/deck schemes/etc. In a "next-gen" version of this, there won't be anything to unlock, we'll have to pay money to get Kaori's 3rd outfit, or Elise's 2nd board.

It's baffling that they haven't release a new title yet. It's a real money spinner.

SSX is literally the first console video game I ever owned. Bring it back, EA.

SSX3 is one of the few reasons why I haven't box away my PS2 yet.
Do want a new SSX game.
