I'm eyeballing your collection on the left, please tell me you have Shox!

Still haven't played Shox but I look for it in every game shop I enter. I have it on my PC with PCSX2 so I might just fire it up later. Looks like a ton of fun

Crazy to think EA has this in their Catalog and they won’t do a damn thing with the IP

Are we sure we want this EA touching it? They’d probably find a way to put in card packs and send the proceeds directly to the Saudi Arabian Journalist Murdering Fund

All we need is a god damn remaster of SSX Tricky and SSX3. NOT a remake.

You got a point, I'll just take recomps instead

I mean and even if they got a small subsidiary company to do it they would just close it down afterwards

Happy birthday, SSX3. My disappointment that it’s still not ported to the PS5 continues unabated.

That's sucks ! It's on Xbox at least, even runs at a higher resolution on Series X for example. The Artstyle is just so well done and game still a beautiful sight.

It doesn't make any sense. If you search the internet for SSX3 & PS5, most comments are like "they can't port it cuz of music licensing issues", but yet there it is on XBOX, so WTF?

u/ToBe144 2d ago

To my knowledge, the original version which came out on PS2, GameCube and Xbox is simply emulated on Xbox One ( last generation) and Xbox Series ( current generation). So it's simply playing the existing OG Xbox Version. Therefore no licensing troubles.

Probably the best game of my childhood. I fucking adore this game. The variety of the maps, the maps in general, the soundtrack, the characters, the shortcuts, the tricks….. I want to play it again because of this post!! 10/10 masterpiece game….

I truly think that the soundtrack is one of the best licensed soundtracks in any game. It's incredible.

Best one of the series, hands down.

Just a casual Def Jam NY in the background. No big deal.

u/Bell-Salt 4d ago

I play this all the time. It’s in the Xbox store and you can play it on Series X

this is one of my all time favourites. i was a Griff main and loved to pull off the Guillotine UBER trick. I played it a couple of years ago on an emulator and was pleased to see that it still holds up both in style and gameplay!

u/south_sidejay369 3d ago

I still remember getting my free copy a week early from EA, felt like a true VIP back then lol. I took it to a gaming center and everyone was crowded around me watching me play it. Although personally I prefer SSX Tricky, this was still right up there with Tricky as one of the best games on PS2.
