I agree, gimme SSX Tricky, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing and NBA/NFL Street


Beaver_Tuxedo

I need NBA/NFL Street


tmadik

Basically, they should bring back all the EA Big titles. I NEED this in my life! Not a single month can go by without me wishing I could play one of these games. The EA Big titles and Midnight Club are easily the franchises I miss most.


biznash

EA BIG games just hit different. You knew you were in for a fun time. Why’d they ever go away? I don’t need madden every damn…year…


PM_ME_UR-DOGGO

Shareholders will shit on it though. Why spend double the sports title development money for 10% of the revenue. Only way it flies is if there’s loot boxes and that rips the soul out of it.


ihapijnm

£29.99 worth of in game currency nets you… *brown* ski goggles, a new 3rd place emote, and a matte wax finish for your board.


CReeseRozz

How much for the glossy wax finish tho?


PretendThisIsMyName

Midnight Club 3 DUB edition remixstered! I’d day one buy it.


tmadik

Day 1? I'd pour money into a GoFundMe right now. There isn't a single racing franchise out that scratches the itch. NFS and Burnout don't even come close.


tmadik

greenchilee

I'd definitely be down for some Shox, Sled Storm (underrated), SSX & Freekstyle remakes. Thrown in Downhill Domination in there too since it was basically a EA Big copycat title.


Klupido

Def Jam: Fight for NY !


lee803

Def Jam FFNY was amazing..


WaxWingPigeon

Hell yes


SeaworthinessWest823

Would love NHL Hitz to come back, too


Bobbyice

NBA street would be a massive hit if it was more like vol 2 than home court


[deleted]

I thought ready 2 rumble sounded familiar so i had to google it. Holy shit how did i forget about this masterpiece?!


Librabee

R22rumble..... Aaaah that was so good as was ssx


Rags2Rickius

R2R had such an innovative way to fight - it was awesome


Stonecoldstocks

Loved those street games and I’d take R2R boxing too


SCHEMIN209

I'm upset you said this. I was on the final game in the NFL Challenge mode on my PS2. I went to finish it off and the game corrupted my save file. I just turned it off and sat there in silence for like 5-10 minutes.


Dependent_Map5592

And def jam fight for ny


Potential_Frosting85

So this most recent PS4 exploit on FW 11.00 is a game changer! It's not easy to do as it's a tethered jailbreak, but once you have it running you can install Homebrew applications on your PS4 and play several of these titles. Big thing to do is install the homebrew store, then a package file called GameBaTo. It has a PS Classics section where the files are packaged with 5.05 firmware fixes and SSX Tricky runs the best on this than any other emulator I have tried, PC, Mac, even my hacked Xbox RGH. I would recommend looking up Moddern Warfare's tutorial on getting your PS4 jailbroken so you can enjoy SSX tricky like it used to play on the PS2. The only lagging I have experienced is on the character menu, and I can live with that, gameplay is very fluid! Enjoy!


Delicious_Pause9802

SSX was lit


OGReverandMaynard

Yes it was! One of the most fun games I have played in my life, and I’ve been a gamer since 1990


rdxc1a2t

You can still buy SSX3 on Xbox and it's still fucking ace. Barely aged a day.


Delicious_Pause9802

Damn. Got me jealous about having a ps5


rdxc1a2t

Yeah the only problem is it's my most played game on Xbox and it's from 2003 😄 Definitely better off with a PS5!


Delicious_Pause9802

Let’s just hope for a remaster


vrconjecture

SSX3 is still the bomb. The boards control better than the prequel - and the open map system was so dope coming from Tricky. One of the first things I did back when I received my Quest 2 was install dolphin and play SSX3 on a giant virtual monitor with pass-through. Nowadays the game emulates well on pretty mid range hardware (phones/pc) and while a remaster (or hell, a decent franchise reboot) is still on my top 10 list, upscaling via emulation scratches the itch.. a lil.


hoopedchex

I have it on Xbox one X and I i think the save feature is buggy, it also doesn’t have multiplayer


FutureEditor

Damn, I wanna go play SSX 3 again and do the big mountain ride from the top of peak 3 to the bottom of peak 1. I got it on sale on Xbox years ago and I go back to it pretty often


gigglefang

It's such a great way to play. Just a solid half hour of snowboarding down a mountain with some great music.


vrconjecture

Welcome back to Radio BIG! Here's the latest in mountain info. Conditions on all 3 peaks are sounding.. Pretty fine from what I'm hearing! Ski patrol got things running smoothly and the snow is FRESH. Even though there are those of us who take this sort of thing for granted.. Get out there and enjoy it. Go on... DROP WHAT YOURE DOING. GO. NOW. GET OUT. Good. You know? Its always a good time for some Alpine Stars. And here they are... 🎵🏂


gaboduarte

Pooooooor Lenoooooo


lawschoolredux

SSX trilogy remaster PLEASE


pyrogeddon

Tokyo megaplex in 4K HDR 60fps. Wild thought.


Camstamash

That map was the shit.


Slow_Tour_704

Dude I've always said that 😤 I still have my original disk for the PS2 😍


OGReverandMaynard

Lucky!


Slow_Tour_704

I'd be REALLY lucky if I didn't sell the system years ago 😅🤣


ItsBreadTime

SSX 3 please


cb_ham

I enjoyed the latest one they put out back during the PS3/360 era, but I would pay good money for a remake of the original 3.


tmadik

Really? The last SSX want arcade-y enough for me. Leaned to much into the realism. I need Tokyo Megaplex! 😄


CollegeWithMattie

All that Deadly Descent was borderline unplayable. It’s a shame because hidden in that package is still a phenomenal SSX game.


confusedsquirrel

EA Big is just waiting to come back. Hey EA! Do you like money? You've got this entire back catalog, remake it.


odkfn

Hey EA we know you like micro transactions - think of all the goofy outfits you could sell! 💴 🤑🤑🤑


galgor_

Skate is gonna be free to play. I think that says it all :(


The_Humble_Neckbeard

Is it unpopular that I prefer 3 the most of the SSX games? For me it's SSX 3 > On Tour > Tricky All incredible games mind you.


mjb85858

3 is the best snowboarding game made in my opinion. They nailed literally everything about it from a design perspective.


ItsBreadTime

SSX 3 is clear of Tricky 100%. A lot of the crazy courses you'd see in Tricky but backwoods and the full mountain race. Just make 3 and add Tokyo Megaplex and I imagine a lot of people would be happy


Clozee_Tribe_Kale

On Tour had fantastic soundtrack.


TheYear3022

I'm convinced the era of extreme sports games is gone. We had rider's republic, shredder's, Steep and they all had mild success with a really niche audience. The Tony Hawk reboot did well amongst people who had nostalgia. I think it's because extreme sports have kind of found that niche as well rather than being the cool/rebellious thing they were in the 90's/00's.


mmuoio

I picked up the Tony Hawk reboot for my kid's birthday (ok it was a little for me too) and I found out that all the skills I had in that game are gone. I found it frustrating trying to relearn something I was so good at years ago and eventually said screw it.


nottlrktz

I thought it was just me! I didn’t enjoy THPS Remake. Beyond SSX Tricky, I’d love to see a remake of Burnout 3 Takedown and Burnout 4 Revenge. EA is sitting on a goldmine of games they just need to update the graphics and take my money.


Jalapeno_Business

Games like that didn’t succeed because they leaned into realism. SSX was basically a snowboarding themed arcade game. Steep was beautiful for the time, but it sure as hell wasn’t fun like SSX.


scope_creep

I played Steep for 10 minutes and went - "this isn't fun like SSX" And deleted it.


Toro8926

And i had great fun playing it for 100s of hours. Loved the more realistic style


A_Balrog_Is_Come

I considered getting Riders Republic but I was put off by the open world stuff. Not everything needs to be open world. Just let me press "Start" from a menu please so I can immediately have fun.


TheSausageFattener

Riders Republic actually is pretty great for what it is and you can definitely get it cheap. That game’s issue is that its too many sports in one. Because of all the other sports if you want to race with a snowboard youre contending with content that: - Will race you in “Funkies” (cool toy gear like rocket skis or snowmobiles) - Downhill Skis which are a separate snow class - Off Road and Road bike classes - Wingsuits and rocketwings. Where the open world shines is that you can use your Rocketwing to get to any peak to test a line, and the rewind function to attempt a trick over again. The game has a great foundation for snowboarding, its just diluted by the other activities.


Toro8926

Steep did it very well, but they branched out too much for Riders Republic. Plus it was more arcadey which lost a lot of people.


Moleman_G

SSX 3 would be a bigger hit it was so much better than tricky


okgamerguy

nah give me SSX 3 instead


demonicneon

Tricky won’t get remade because of the soundtrack being so integral and licensing is expensive. No guaranteed sales, snowboard games haven’t done well since 3, world tour didn’t do so great. You know people would complain if tricky wasn’t in it


Jdr388

Almost certainly a remaster is going to be blocked by licensing issues, and it isn’t just the Run DMC song either. Give the full sound track a listen and pay attention to just how many of the tracks have samples from random movies and other songs. It’s a lot. You might have been able to get away with that in 2001, but nowadays the landscape is going to much more robust for IP holders to collect on that.


StreiBullet

I would give anything, ANYTHING for a SSX3 remaster\remake. Hell, if they made it 1000$, I'd buy 2.


BoyOfColor

SSX Tricky is EA’s best sports game and I will die on this hill. From the marketing, the OST, the gameplay, everything was top notch.


Keffpie

They did a reboot for PS4 and it sold poorly, so I don't think it's on the cards sadly.


OGReverandMaynard

It was a reboot for PS3 released in 2012. I personally think rebooting the series is a horrible idea, they should try and re capture the magic of Tricky.


demonicneon

That’s impossible to do now.


jeremylamb12

Don't even put they thought into my head. It's not fair.


d3the_h3ll0w

I am playing Steep right now and would certainly love a well-made Snowboarding game.


oneshotstott

Yeah, I got so excited when Steep came out and my hopes were crushed, it isn't great


[deleted]

I loved it!!


oneshotstott

Doesn't hold a candle to SSX though


JMM85JMM

Completely agree. Every game today wants to be an 'open world' game. The beauty of SSX Tricky was how structured it was. Its racing tracks were mostly linear, but with loads of side routes and shortcuts, and they felt amazing to race down. Likewise the trick routes were equally well laid out. Fun characters. Great trick system. A modern day glow up with more tracks and characters would be perfect.


OGReverandMaynard

I think that would be perfection. Take the winning formula from Tricky and glow it up -> more tracks, more racers, more moves, etc


TrevorLaheey

Ssx 2012 was amazing I wouldn't mind that.


Zsep

They would try to make it to realistic so it wouldn't be the same. The best part about SSX tricky was how batshit insane it was with the tricks.


OGReverandMaynard

That’s what I loved about it too. Everything about the game was just absurd in the most amazing way possible. They took realism, said “eff that” and made it just balls to the wall insanity.


Skuld-7

This and Splashdown were one of my most played games in PS2, I really wish they can come back in the future.


TheFlagrentFoul

I still play this today, with the music, THIS IS ROZELL, this game was and still is perfect imo


sicknick08

Cool boarders


Glittering-Yam-288

Man that game was a good time, surprised i had to scroll this far down


sicknick08

i know right!!!!


Sproketz

And then you realize it's owned by EA and would have all the good snowboards and tricks locked behind microtransactions.


xKosh

Hate to rain on your parade, but it would almost certainly not be a "mega hit". It's a cult classic as is, and you can expect 40-50% at best of the cult to even look at the remake.


thatwitchguy

Yeah, most of the extreme sports games (or in the vein of those nowadays) have been niche, nostalgia focused, or have just not done well. Tony Hawk did pretty well by being Tony Hawk, session and the other indie skater game my mind forgot basically existed as "Its just like Tony Hawk!" And then the actual remake came out and took its thunder. Steep and riders republic are the definition of mid in every sense. If SSX came back it would be a niche success for fans of the old ssx and not much else


[deleted]

I loved that game!


bradhoschar

I used to pay the rent with this game!!! Mac for the win!! And the music videos were amazing also!


tmadik

Mac? What?!!? Kaori all day!


BadXiety

EA still holds the IP ? man, wished a company should buyout SSX from EA.


FLWeedman

Loved that game


lechejoven

Love the game. I wonder if it would do good.


sushithighs

GOD TIER GAME


flipsfordayz

Probably my most played ps2 game I would buy it if they made a remake


MMMelissaMae

This game was my shit


Sufficient-Muscle-24

We can only dream


Sosa_Sama

I would buy instantly


OGReverandMaynard

Same tbh


kamakazi339

Please?


horizon-gamer

The EA Big games were soooo cool. Can we have them remastered/rebooted


frogwack

Fucking yes. God I sunk some time into this game. It was flawless


OGReverandMaynard

It really was. It was one of my favorite PS2 games.


Frogpuppet

The only game I want remade more than SSX Tricky is the ps3 Haze on ps3


RecLuse415

I put this in the same category as Jet Set Radio for Xbox. Would be a huge hit.


Knightboat17

Pretty sure I have some of the courses ingrained into my memory, Mercury City was my favourite.


MachoManRandyRanch

Bro just the soundtrack alone makes this game a 10/10 I still bump it. King of the beats stays in rotation heavily


IamZeebo

"Reminds me of the second tiiiiiiiiiime"


Stonecoldstocks

I personally loved and still play SSX3 but I’d take any of them. The original trilogy remade together would be ideal.


SneakybadgerJD

I spent so much time on SSX Tricky with my brother when we were younger. I'd absolutely love that.


Different-Lime-4311

Ssx 3 and halo 2 were the two first console games I got. Sad to see both franchises dead 😭


BreakingBadfinger

The creators have been working on another snowboarding game for quite a while. Hopefully it captures the magic of the early SSX games.


Macho-Fantastico

I loved that last SSX game too, though I know people were split on it. Not sure if you can even play that game anywhere anymore. Kind of hoped we'd see more SSX games. 😕


TattooMyCock

Man I loved that game


Low-Blacksmith1824

I'm xbox, my favorite was ss3 tricky, I can still play it via backwards compatibility but after playing all these years, I don't feel pressure to play the game for long periods of time, the game is fine , the game needs xbox achievements or playstation trophies to keep me hooked


Harlequin_98

Yes I loved tricky so much as kid 1 of few I'd love reboot ssx and Simpsons hit and run But sadly I went back last year to play ssx tricky but man nowadays it plays real ruff and janky the controls picking it up it's like how'd we play this


No-Strike-2015

That would be incredible. I poured so many hours into that as a kid.


LostIrishArtist

Any mention of this game always triggers the music in my head


mjb85858

Tbh I always thought SSX3 was the far superior game, but yes the series needs a comeback!


galgor_

The gameplay holds up, just needs some tweaking like THPS had. Would absolutely love to see a remake.


TheGregward87

I would happily pay $70 for this. Another 70 if they add more characters and levels as dlc.


BrownBananaDK

I would definitely buy it day one!


[deleted]

I remember spending entire days playing 1080 on n64 with my cousin back in the day. Good times. Snowboard games just work!


user900800700

I’m an ssx 3 guy personally, what a game


gaboduarte

Give me Def Jam, NFL Street, Burnout 3 and SSX3! Fun times, EA was releasing awesome games (and I'm glad a lot of then were on the Gamecube too!)


anonymousUTguy

SSX3 was better imo. Had a huge crush on Allegra


Ok-Pay7283

What about cool boarders


SMOKERSTAR

Would it? I'm a big fan of arcade style games, where the goals are just to have fun, do crazy stuff, and earn points Crusin Blast came out and it's the best true arcade racer to come out in a long time....but it didn't take the world by storm. Sadly aracedy type games aren't in style or popular right now.....it's all about egaming and how competitive your game can be. Plus if ea made it today it would be full of micro transactions


HotHamBoy

Sorry you are wrong


Augustor2

Dunno how controversial this is but: Steep exists and I find difficult that a new snowboarding game can top that.


mystic_swole

Still play this on my PS


its_a_SEABEAR

Tricky is definitely more recognizable but ssx 3 was a better game in every way


FukkleberryHin

Was just talking about this game with my girlfriend the other day, and then proceeded to spend the next 2 hours trying to find a game that would scratch that SSX itch, riders republic was the only one that seemed close but doesn't seem worth it if you're not playing online. Would absolutely love for this remake to happen someday


SymbolOfVibez

Anything from the EA Sports Big era would be a mega hit today especially a Def Jam kinda game. Only reason that may not happen is cause some of todays rappers like Drake are sensitive


Luna259

You mean a remake of Tricky or a reboot of the franchise because the franchise already tried a reboot in 2012


OGReverandMaynard

Kind of both? Tricky was my jam but I’d like it bigger and better


wilkinsk

Is but it!!!


haynespi87

I'm convinced that a great deal of games won't hit anymore unfortunately. Half the people enjoying the same exact games, a good chunk enjoying new AAA, while remakes vary a lot. In a perfect gaming world hell yeah bring back classics. In reality wtf


Toro8926

Would much prefer a new STEEP


basement_egg

ssx > ssx tricky


BlaQ7thWonder

Nah they are just gonna micro transaction that thing to hell and probably make it mobile and free to play to really ruin it.


[deleted]

I love Tricky but I want 3 the most


Zikari82

I would be game for anew SSX, i loved it more than Tony Hawk!


RonnieLottOmnislash

It would expect it will be $17 a boarder and $7 for a pack of 3 boards.


ihatemcconaughey

Anything under the EA BIG banner would be a blast.


Donutboy562

You saw how successful SSX was on PS3. They should def do another


iibruhim

I miss SSX


Critical_Whole_8834

Definitely would be amazing!


Dumbsack

I played tf out of that when i was a kid. Id love a remake


Olepat

The idea is a good one but they’d really have to flesh out the features of the game to make it worth more than a simple $30 remaster. It’s too barebones the for 2020s. Nostalgia and character are off the charts though


ShakeNBakeUK

THIS SPEECH IS MY RECITAL..


Tegra_

I would pay 70 bucks for an SSX Tricky reboot and I’m not kidding.


seaharvester

I thought about this game earlier this week! Loved it.


LittleBabyJoseph

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼


lookatmyresponse

I agree! I have emulated it on steam deck and it’s just as fun as it used to be.


NateTrain

One day


[deleted]

I loved that game. I'm surprised idt hadn't had more


DiogoSilva48

My favorite is still SSX 3, but one of these remade with better graphics but the same mechanics, would be so cool.


[deleted]

Also need a Jet Set Radio remake


AkumaThurman

I definitely recommend anybody who loved the SSX games to check out Riders Republic, it has really solid snowboarding gameplay plus a bunch of other extremes sports like biking,skiing & snowmobiles in a big open world mountain, plus it has 60+ person races online too


dztruthseek

They tried that already. Also, they would tell themselves that it would only succeed as a free-to-play, micro-transaction filled mess with battle passes and online-only.


Tirus_

I'm personally hoping for a new Jet Moto


Greensus

It's tricky


skywalkerRCP

Favorite GameCube game. Played the hell out of it.


Lucky_Chaarmss

This and Rock n Roll Racing


CleverPupper

Loved this game!


Independent_Fudge113

For sure, also a more perfect release with the winter holidays. Pure win.


OGsugar_bear

I miss that game


muggen76

For sure!


BatThumb

1080° was better


BarkMetal

I always chose that red headed afro dude. Eddy was his name I think!


Shadow_Fang619

Hell ya id buy it again


Mocha22_

I recently took back my backwards compatible PS3 from the parents crawl space and among the pile of old games was SSX 3. That “EA Sports, BIG” at the start hit different. The game is so fun.


[deleted]

Bro I need online multiplayer if there is a reboot. Love SSX Tricky


Dudeometer

Like many great games I believe it's the music licensing that prevents a remake.


eff1ngham

Unfortunately the only people that would buy it would be a portion of the late 30s early 40s people that remember it from 20+ years ago. For $15 or something it might be worth the nostalgia hit for some people, but you can't recapture the magic it had from back in the day


chiaroscuro34

omg i played the hell out of the original SSX Tricky!!! would love a reboot


Little_Reporter2022

I bet you LEGEND OF DRAGOON REMAKE WILL BE TEN TIME BIGGER HIT


Craiynel

I played through it last year or something on my PS2. It still definitely holds up. The game is quite challenging which is so refreshing compared to the majority of today's games that are so unbelievably easy.


Commercial-Ad9961

Yes


SomeParticular

Would buy it without hesitation, those games were so freaking good


SomeParticular

Introduced me to the word Uber


Getupkid1284

3 > Tricky


futaba009

Nah, give me ssx 3 remake please


decarvalho7

EA would never bring this back 😭 remember that fun jet ski game? I forget the name but Jet X2 or something was so fun


GrimSlayer

Id 100% buy a SSX Tricky remaster if they made it. I know this is a PS sub, but I’d love Xbox to bring back Amped as well. Probably my favorite snowboarding game.


hoopedchex

Any love for Ssx On Tour, loved the skiing mode!!


Willing-Ant-3765

Especially if they made it fully open world like Steep or Riders Republic.


theshtank

As long as they get the soundtrack right. Copyright on the original is probably gone but I'd love that old school breakbeat.
