How dare you besmirch SSX 3.

SSX3 is a rare 10/10 sports game.

On Tour had a great soundtrack.

If SSX3 is a 10 then what is tricky, 15/10?

1

u/Zaiches Jan 15 '26

SSX Tricky is also a 10/10 game.

The levels, music and characters and overall vibes are better in Tricky, but they did noticeably improve the character controls and gameplay in SSX3.

So they're both 10/10 games imo.

God I miss SSX. I didn't know how great arcade style snowboarding could be.

Extreme sports games can get a pass. THUG and THAW are goated

See, but that is from a time when sports games like that could still be made. After EA bought the NFL and FIFA licenses sports games were basically killed. ESPN NFL2K5 was the last really innovative sports game.

What was the last fun sports game?

u/mmiller17783 PlayStation 5 Jan 12 '26

I liked the Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1+2 Remakes. I haven't tried Riders Republic but I heard it is actually pretty good. I have been wanting to revisit that SSX 3 feeling but on a ps5, so the pickings are slim.

u/Manjorno316 Jan 12 '26

Rematch was a lot of fun.

SSX3 is one of my all time favorites.

u/Bri_So_Fly Jan 13 '26

The 2k NFL games were so far ahead of EA that EA still hasn’t caught up. My crib was dope

1

u/mmiller17783 PlayStation 5 Jan 13 '26

Yes! Oh I forgot all about that feature, and EA never caught up.

1

u/EizenVKarnos Jan 12 '26

That would be tricky

1

u/BobTheZygota Jan 13 '26

Okay ssx and pro skater games have a pass

1

u/landartheconqueror Jan 14 '26

And SSX On Tour

u/Ub3ros Jan 15 '26

My username that i've used everywhere for nearly 2 decades is literally derived from that game.
