A reasonable download speed is essential for an untroubled gaming experience on the PS4. Demos, themes and even entire games are now often downloaded to the PS4. Not to mention the countless updates that can jump the gigabyte mark. With a simple trick in the network settings, however, the download speed of the PS4 can often be significantly improved. In most cases you most likely already have an established network connection. However, it is necessary to set up a new network connection first.
The settings will basically remain the same as before — with one exception. The DNS data must not be set up automatically, but must be configured manually. After entering the configuration, you receive the message that the Internet settings have been updated. Then the current Internet connection can be tested if necessary.
That was it already. Helping to add extra color, the characters were all given celebrity voices and personalities. Eddie, for instance, was created using David Arquette's voice and persona while Elise uses Lucy Liu's. Other actors like Billy Zane and Oliver Platt were also used, adding overall personality to the entire game and creating more meaning behind each character. In addition to the celebrity voices, one of the exciting new aspects of the game is the trick system. With this new revamped system, you'll be able to spin and flip to your heart's content.
Advanced tricks like a fakie, where you land with your back foot forward, and late, where you hit one last trick before landing, are also achievable, giving more possibilities to the tricks that can be performed. When you catch big air, sometimes you'll find yourself creating all-new moves with various combinations of tricks, even riding a rail or two. The main thrill, however, is the addition of the Uber tricks. These tricks can be pulled off when the Uber disk is rotating; when it is, look out because these tricks will impress even the veteran snowboarder.
Each snowboarder also has his or her own unique Uber trick, and all are worth seeing. Even with all the trick possibilities, if they're too cumbersome to execute, the game can become frustrating and consequently short lived. SSX Tricky , however, sets up a control system that is surprisingly user-friendly, using almost every button and stick available.
To start, the d-pad and left analog stick perform similar functions as left and right turns while on the ground, and cause rotation while in the air. Pushing forward on either will build speed and pulling back gives a speed check. To cause the rider to grab the board while in the air, any of the right or left buttons will perform a specific grab trick and combinations of them give more possibilities. Pressing the X button will cause the rider to crouch, then jump when the button is released, while the square button will give an adrenaline boost if available when on the ground and a tweak when in the air.
If you start preparing for a jump and realize there isn't any way to land it, the L3 button can be used to release the rider from the crouching position; if you find yourself off course, the select button will set the rider back on the track.
After riding around for a while, you'll also notice that the interface does a great job of displaying an array of information without distracting or covering up the gameplay. The current place of your snowboarder is shown in the upper left corner, while the score is in the upper right corner.
To keep from obstructing the race, points given for tricks and time differences between you and first place will flash in the upper middle of the screen. Any tricks you successfully pull off are also flashed at the bottom of the screen, giving a name to the more interesting tricks created along with the more conventional ones. Other things, such as the adrenaline meter and Uber disk, current speed, time and location of the other riders, are also shown to complete the interface.
Most of the time, the interface is smooth enough that you'll hardly notice any difficulty in using any part of it. As mentioned earlier, SSX Tricky also has extra features. Some of these features come in the manner of DVD-style extras. For instance, there are short movie clips of each celebrity as he or she gives voice recordings and personal thoughts about the project.
David Arquette is particularly entertaining as he is shown giving a voice to Eddie. Pulling off a successful split-screen multiplayer option is a daunting task and usually it ends up being difficult to see or hard to control. This, however, is one of the stronger points of SSX Tricky as two players can race each other without being hindered by sensitive controls or scaling of the screen that distorts, not allowing enough of the screen to play effectively.
Visually, the game is top notch. The courses are beautifully detailed and different from each other. You'll see things like snow spraying off the board when cutting and large amounts of detail in the riders and their environments. As with most EA Sports games, you can generally expect above average graphics and that's the case here.
In addition to the celebrity voices, various bands were used to record the music. To keep the audio from becoming stale, each course has its own theme song and the sound effects are realistic, helping to immerse players in the game.
SSX Tricky is a game that won't spend much time on the shelf. It delivers solid gameplay that outperforms its predecessor in almost every aspect.
With new and remade courses, the addition of celebrity voices and professional music groups, and gameplay that gives it a lifespan well beyond anything currently on the market, SSX Tricky will find few unsatisfied customers. I've often wondered at what point realism and outrageous gameplay blend to create a perfect union of form and function. Something that resembles the original well, yet has enough fast paced arcade style action to keep any kid with Attention Deficit Disorder happy.
When it premiered on the PS2 at said console's launch, SSX was the first game I picked up, and it was well worth it for it's insane tracks and absurd tricks. My review is actually for SSX Tricky , and, after seeing the lows and highs of the original, EA has taken considerable time to update and improve this already amazing title. For those unfamiliar with the SSX series, you're a snowboarder. Given the tricks you can perform, you're a pretty cool one to boot.
Competing in a series of high-speed races and showoff competitions, you must prove your skills as a boarder, whether you're only here for a single race, or racing on the world circuit. I must confess, I believe that I've got a fondness for this style of sports title, so this may be a fairly biased review. However, since part of a good review is my opinion, I'll try not to disappoint. I love games with extra material.
There's an entire section on the disc that isn't gameplay at all, rather it covers the various interviews, behind the scenes featurettes, and little informative clips that EA put on this disc. Taking true advantage of the DVD format, the DVD features give you plenty of extra info, including a part that showcases the many celebrity voices of the digital snowboarders. This game requires a fine eye for detail, and the willingness to go off the track to find a quicker path to the objective.
Given the next gen nature of the game, you'll find plenty of shortcuts, and if you know how to exploit them all, you'll have no trouble beating the other boarders at their game. Some of the same difficulty is there, but with the advantage of Tricky mode, and Uber-tricks, the game has become a lot easier for someone who really knows what they're doing. Want to find out more?
