This is probably a marketing move on the part of Electronic Arts. “Deadly Descents” sounds too dark for what has previously been a fun snowboarding title, and the addition of new game modes that focus on speed and trick style runs makes it more palatable for parents to buy for their kids.
It’ll be interesting to see what this “next-gen” SSX project will end up being, and if it’ll recapture the magic that the series has always enjoyed.
