Does /v/ fuck with the SNOW beta? It's an open mountain skiing game built on the CryEngine and it's fairly realistic (compared to ssx / skate 3 type of sports games)
bumping with screenshots
my pc can't fully max it out but it still looks decent
infinity park on the south face is the quickest way to a helipad
>>320807479
>>320807634
>>320807931
OP is obviously shilling but this does look comfy
>>320808009
>stuck inside with garbage weather waiting for snow to do real skiing on
figured other anons might be in the same boat
Hasn't this been in early access for the past year or so? If so, no thank you.
>>320808162
>tfw living in Southern California
>>320808192
yup, understandable man.
$10 is reasonable for a ragdoll physics cryengine sim to me since there aren't really any realistic ski games
>>320808448
Big bear's close. Or is there no snow there yet?
>>320807479
I like it.. but I wish grinding had at least a little magnet to it. I feel like I'm just plopping onto the rail with no rhyme or reason. Maybe a magnet more akin to skate.
Too bad multiplayer is a buggy mess
>>320808635
I like the sound of it. Just I don't want to fall for another early access scheme again. Who knows maybe in another year it will be out and then I'll get it.
>>320808703
for sure, or at least some good leaning / balancing control
Bought the founders pack long ago, haven't played it in around a year. I'm just waiting for snowboarding I guess, which will definitely be a while
>>320808768
desu I only play offline (satellite link ;_;) but I saw a patch release it's steam page
>>320807479
Is there a yeti monster that chases and eats you near the bottom of the mountain? If so I think I played an earlier version of this years ago
if you want an excellent skiing game for your phone try skiing yeti mountain. one of the better mobile games actually.
>ski season starts tomorrow
TOO BAD THERE'S NOT NEARLY ENOUGH FUCKING SNOW YET.
GODDAMN.
hopefully this can quench my thirst for powder.
>>320809225
I feel ya m8. East coast is fucking dead this season, I'm probably gonna head to Revy at some point because I don't think we're gonna get more than a few days out here.
>>320809225
>small patch of cold temps last month
>mountain I instruct at blows enough snow for our bunny hills
>free beginner lessons day, I miss it due to a scheduling conflict

I'm mad too
>>320807479
CAN YOU USE A SNOWBOARD?
>SNOW is the only free-to-play, open world, winter sports game.

why this shit cost 10 dollars then breh

>>320809489
What's the snow like on the east coast of the US? I've only skiid at whilster blackcomb and the only people i know that have been to the US went to salt lake city and around there.
I normally ski in japan because it's the closest and cheapest to Aus and I'm a massive weeb.
>>320809684
W-we have smugglers notch and Killington.
I'm just a park rat most of the season since I live in Ontario.
>>320809614
snowboards will be dlc ;-)
>>320809616
it will be released as free to play once they sell enough cosmetic items to fund a small nation state
$10 dollars?
Get some webm's going.
>move to mountain town in Oregon
>snows
>cant drive to work
Snow is beautiful, but fuck.
>>320810113
this screenshot's for you park rat bro
>>320810236
give me one moment, satellite link + garbage weather is no fun allowed mode
>>320809994
East coast is pretty bad unless you live in Vermont. Our hills are glorified trash dumps and everything is ice.
What's it like skiing in Japan? I was planning on taking a trip to Niseko next year and make my holy trip to comiket.
>>320810508
this, if you plan your trip during a decent snowfall period you can have a good time. but in the meantime, ice ice baby
>>320810508
It depends where you go. I ski on the west coast, and it's really good. heaps of snow, heaps of powder, Hakuba has some amazing parks, some of the smaller resorts are pretty lax about the rules so you can dick around and have a lot of fun.
I went to Niseko in 2010, and It was alright. it's way overhyped. It's crowded, it's always overcast, it's filled with Australians. The snow's pretty good, but I just didn't enjoy it that much whilst I was there.
I bought this game in 2013 before it even had audio. How is it now? Do I even get anything for buying it so retardedly far back?
>>320810298
>live in California

Here we go, I'll get rid of the watermarks and fix up the quality in the next one (new to webm creation)

Pizza, french fries
>tfw you enjoyed the SSX reboot but no one else really cared
>you will never get another entry in the series where it evolves into something like SSX3
im gonna neck myself
>>320807479
For some reason I have this in my library.
I don't even remember how I got it in the first place.
>>320811928
Looks pretty cool.
Challenging at all?
Just moved from Montana back to California because I graduated college.
KILL ME, these winters suck. I miss the snow and skiing.
What the fuck is with the stretched pixelated trees? Into the trash it goes
>>320812296
Nothing wrong with liking SSX man it's good fun as well
>>320812326
like any other skateboarding / snowboarding game you need to land mostly rotated otherwise you lose speed / ragdoll to valhalla and beyond
>>320812768
I have the FOV cranked because of the way I sit at my desk and play with a controller.
Also I'm running the graphics on medium with an i5 2500k, amd 5830 and 4gb ram (my money went to ski gear this year)
>>320812326
also some other parts of the mountain have dense trees and tight passageways, can be tough at high speed
this is why you spot your landings folks
>>320814030
>that fucking awful ragdoll
It says it is the only open world free to play snowboard game but costs $10.
>>320814114
it's how it feels when it happens to you irl m8
>>320812942
Hey man, what do you ski on, you freestyle? freeride? Racer? Or a telemark fag?
>>320814903
I ski on volkl walls, half and half park / freeride
i would if faggot OP had posted a link or something fuck
>>320814030
His ankles are broken
>>320815296
Just search SNOW on steam m8, it's early access for $10 and works pretty well
>>320815551
nah man he's good
explain
>>320816489
I can't really tell ya m8 i buy steam games while intoxicated and forget sometimes tho
>>320815214
Fair enough, I'm investing in a set of Faction 1.0s as a self-bought christmas present, pretty excited to hit europe up in january,just gotta hope it gets a bit colder
coolboarders 2 is the GOAT snowboarding game. no need to play any new shit
>>320812304
Probably a steam sale for $2.50.
>>320816647
Very nice man, my self-christmas present was a set of these boots. let me make a few alpine webms too
>>320807479
uhhh
no
I just go skiing.
Because i live in calgary.
>tfw revelstoke is only a four hour drive
>Tfw could never get into Snowboarding/Skiing games despite loving them in real life
Why the fuck are they always so samey and boring? I love skiing in real life but holy shit I derive no enjoyment from it in vidya.
>>320807931
what can you do at the helipad?
I'd love a good skiing game. But these webms all look so ...slow. Also, how much trick variety is there?
>>320816782
They're pretty sweet man, must be so cosy!
>>320817031
won't deny I'm jelly, I have 4 tiny little MA resorts within 30 minutes but it just doesn't compare.
>>320817213
I'm the same way with Madden / Fifa, much better in real life
>>320817228
each face of the main mountain has 1-4 locations only accessible by heli
>>320817236
My rig is to blame, it's not good enough to run fraps in 30fps so i'm shooting at 15.
It's just grab tricks, spins, and rolls. The guy slides a rail / box if he lands on it
>>320817458
so cosy, they have 2 boa bands for upper leg and foot
>>320817694
Oh shit that webm looks good. Final thing, is it playable with a controller? Skate 3 was probably my favourite game of all time so I love the look of this, but wouldn't like to play it with keyboard
neat i can't remember the last time a decent snowboarding/skiing game came out!
>>320818040
thanks, I'm getting the hang of it
I'm playing with an xbox one wired controller and it handles well
Only inconvenient thing is once you press A to load your jump you can't turn, but you only need to tap it so it's no big deal
>>320807479
cry engine looks way worse then i remember
>>320809225
>19°C in the alps
KILL ME THESE FUCKING SYRIANS BROUGHT THE SUMMER WEATHER ALONG
>>320808635
It looks like Untracked in SSX Tricky. The feels.
>>320807479
that sounds comfy
can you snowboard too? where download?
I just want a skate 4 with the city and heart of skate 2 and the hardcore mode of skate 3
Reading this thread reminded me that I bought BMX: The Game awhile ago, I wonder how that's doing now
Snowboards are being added early next year, idk if they'll be dlc
>>320818894
>Fairly realistic
Woooow
>>320819059
it is, no snowboards yet but the devs are considering it in the future I think (I was kidding about the dlc part earlier in the thread). It's on steam early access for $10, it'll be released f2p with cosmetic items at some point.
>>320819132
I enjoyed skate 3 as well
>>320819264
it's a vertical cliff wall m8 not too hard to huck a side flip off
bruh the ssx tricky feels
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifbn0xXOPKY
Anyone remember this gem?
I played this 15 years ago or so at 1fps (maybe even less)
i played it for hours though, but it ran like such shit on my dads pc back then
Devs said couple days ago that snowboards and a PS4 release are coming early next year
>>320819346
Ok Shill you've almost sold me as it's only $10. Now tell me what happens when you reach the bottom and are there chairlifts?
>>320808635
>since there aren't really any realistic ski games
>>320819346
>Falls over a cliff and lands on rocks
>lives
realistic
I really liked SSX 3's mountain system. Lodge's were part of the fucking gameplay. It was so comfy.
>>320819592
There's checkpoint type places where you can bank points, and you can teleport to places in the pause menu.
iirc devs did mention ski lifts being implemented in the future
>>320819693
>No Ski Lifts.
You're killing me here. But I jewed enough people with cards to afford it so I'm in.
You can ff the day/night cycle as well, here's some moon-lit glade skiing
>>320819461
Holy shit I'd play the fuck out of that. I want a powered snowboard motherfuck yes
>>320819593
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nk4fTQJAK4
>>320819667
There's lots of lodges, cabins, even a small base town I'll head there next
>>320807479
Is pic related there?
Stupid fan thing messed up muh line
>>320820374
That would be freaky as shit.
What would be worse? Pixelated or fully rendered?
>>320820374
Ayy, you'll never know until it's too late
>>320818916
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oeslAqeTEc
>>320819871
Let me know how you like it man
The landing / collision detection is a bit wonky but it's forgiving in most situations
>>320820374
>Microsoft will never make another Amped or Ski Free
Fuck this gay earth.
There's a bunch of separate freestyle levels, like the Sochi 2014 setup
grats op, you're a good shill. Tell the devs you deserve a raise
>>320808009
Sharing an interesting game with comfy graphics is shilling now?
I converted to snowboard, so much more fun than skiing IMO.
Tfw no snow yet though.
>>320821726
Thanks goyim. Have fun!don't forget to buy some DLC to support such nice devs
>>320821849
If I were a shill I'd have better quality webm's. I'm just getting into the skiing mood, this game is comfy in a major way
why would you want a realistic skiing sim?
its probably to most boring activity next to watching paint dry
>>320822050
I only got it becauseflips and corks appear to control like SKATE, and I love SKATE too much.Awesome that it came with a gift copy, now I can do comfy multilayer with a friend of mine
>>320822164
Wait until you get a load of Euro Trick Simulator.
So, apparently they made the game run bad in some update a while ago, also the physics are supposed to be a bit brittle and to top that off, there's already microtransactions and a premium currency in place for stuff that was included before.
How to kill your game before it's even finished 101.
>>320822164
>Cmon paint, dry.
>Dry!
>DRY LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
>>320822164
It's realistic the way the skis handle, you can still air down 500 ft cliffs no problem.
>>320822181
It's been a while since i played skate, in this game the left stick is lean / spin and triggers are roll. In either case it's easy. Here's my last banger line, my shilling here is done
>>320822361
you don't have to pay to have fun m8
>>320809119
Heh
>>320807479
>>320807634
>>320808162
>skis don't leave tracks in snow
ONE. FUCKING. JOB.
>>320822996
only because I assume he has that turned off so it will run on his toaster. they do leave tracks though https://youtu.be/bzzOLmFVdHY?t=1m11s
>>320812296
I really enjoyed it too. Why haven't we gotten a new game, can't be that costly to make some new tracks
skiiing is fucking gay lmao just snowboard you pansy
You can get Freak Out for the same money which is complete game and thousand times better.

>Actually manage to crash
>Selecting quick restart just goes to a black screen
>They clearly didn't think anyone was bad enough to crash
>>320823443
did he died?
>>320823443
>>320823443
why are skiers so stupid
>>320822996
>>320823138
You're both right - they lag a bit on my machine in a way that makes them appear far behind the skis, if I ski the same route or have the camera zoomed out I see my previous tracks
>>320823443
this is why you wait for patrol to bomb the snow before ya ski it
>>320823492
quick restart puts you at your last spawn, sometimes there's a lot to load I guess. I usually just rewind to land whatever I crashed doing
I got a spare key if anyone wants, my friends are too jewish to even install free vidya
>>320824014
hmu
>>320824014
If I get it I think that I'll throw some steam keys from bundlestars

No, I think it's funnier when the steam keys are posted publically here
>>320823443
>that webm of skier who ripped his guts out on a fence
It's going to be a f2p game anyway.
>>320824765
Too bad it's a steam gift
>>320825191
Ah, I see, but I don't like throwing my id here so give it to someone else
>>320824919
Someone post it.
>>320825191
Then you should've said that instead of saying it was a key nigger
>>320807479
>wanted a game like this since fucking Family Ski on the Wii
>it's f2p garbage and will be filled with garbage microtransactions
>THE BETA IS 10$ AND I STILL WANT IT
SAVE ME
>>320825616
look nigger I'm tryna cop one for someone so if you want the game or not it's up to you
>>320825681
if it makes you feel better the microtransactions are mostly forhats
>>320825772
not that anon but I'll beg http://steamcommunity.com/id/kecksohn/

Oh this shit is ace. Anyway here's a plebm
Well played, OP. I'm seriously considering on buying this now.
>>320825878
Fuck him, he's Austrian
http://steamcommunity.com/id/Zencal/
where to acquire for free
>>320826021
last time I checked Austria was better at skiing than GB
i was interested in this but it looked like it was trapped in EA-hell, had stiff looking animations and was getting pumped full of microtransactions. might be worth a steal tho.
>>320825903
And this is me dreaming too big.
>>320825903
nice turns m8, glad you like it
>>320825982
I know the shill paranoia exists for a reason here, but honestly I just wanted to share it since it's ski season
Will pirate once snowboards are out cause skiis are for literal gays.
>>320826072
All the more reason he should go out and ski while I play vidya
>>320826103
Micro trans are for cosmetic shit apparently. Unless your ski guy needs to have the latest in brand name gear I think you'll be fine.
>>320826189
But seriously, thanks for bringing it to light. Had no idea this game existed. Looks cozy.
>>320826150
bumpers are left and right hand for grabs, right thumbstick movment selects / tweaks the grab
>>320826150
>Location notification says Watchout during descent to rocks
Fucking gold
>>320826286
Yeah man you welcome, have fun. The soundtrack is pretty cozy imho
anywhere for poorfags to download?
>>320826494
I'll do my best to make a thread around Christmas time with some webms and gifts
>>320826553
>not just cracking it and uploading a torrent
why bother?
Skidrow has a Feb 2014 version
>>320826628
I wasn't aware, definitely grab that if you want to test it out first. Just to make sure it runs on your machine before you buy it though right? ;)
has anyone experience with signing up for the beta on their website?
>>320826732
or you know because I barely have $30 and don't want to spend 1/3 of my life savings on something shit
>>320826850
Man I'm just playing, I really don't care if you pirate it or not half my games are pirated. It'll be f2p anyway so it's no big deal
So are devs actually updating the game in time unlike Killing Floor 2? I don't really mind the transaction thing if they are actually updating the game a lot.
>>320807479
>there will never be a PC version of SSX Tricky with modding support
>>320827814
Last update was 12/15/15, there's still a lot ofsnowboardsto add but they are active for sure
>>320827814
Last update was 4 days ago so it looks promising
Does this go on sale often?
>>320828465
Sale starts in 2 days so we will see.
OP you absolute fucking madman. I'm having fun. What have you done?
>>320829460
>>320829460
That's some style right there.
Better call the fun police, tell them we have a situation here
>>320829460
>That 360 before you're even in the air
>That 180 after landing.
>>320807479
Its a meme game. In a week everyone will finally hate it. Sage
I just was SSX on pc
>>320830319
I think we know who's really the madman here
>>320830409
>Sage
Early access is gay though. Might get it when it's finished. Skiing is cool.
>>320824919
didn't he just cut his artery?
>>320830409
This tbqh.
Right now it's just a regular simulator,
But with all simulators comes the over saturation of shitty YouTube videos.
Pewdiepie, Jacksepticpinkeye, Markiplier and every other cancerous gaming channel will play it as a joke cos apparently all simulators are LE WACKY AND UNREALISTIC XD.
It will become a meme game in no time, which a shame cos it looks good.
skiing is gay
>>320812296
/vg/ had some great SSX2012 generals for the first few months.
Squeezing into diamond rank on a global event at the last second was pure bliss.
>tfw living in one of the best cities in the world and will never need a game like this because the alps are close as fuck
literally living the dream boys
>>320807479
What do you mean fuck with? Like when people are fucking with me? Or when I'm saying shit like "yeah that happened to me once...nah I'm just fucking with you." The whole "I fuck with this" modern lingo is goddamn retarded.
Wow, this Michael Schumacher Simulator looks good!
