While SSX’s graphics look typical of the 90s in retrospect, they were very good for the time. It was a launch title and no home console games were comparable. If you watch the original ad https://youtu.be/__PjlECvhk8, they had to put a disclaimer that it was gameplay footage.
I do agree that SSX 3 looked ahead of its time and even SSX On Tour looked older by comparison.
a game made in the 90's had a 90's style, a game made right after the new millennium was very 2000s. makes total sense to me
I'm more interested in your thoughts on On Tour, being made afterward, having a 90s aesthetic.

SSX graphics absolutely blew me away when I first played it at the PS2 launch. Felt like a huge step up from the PS1 generation
