When EA revealed SSX Deadly Descents, it wasn't a complete success amongst fans. Even though a lot of players have been waiting for a new game in the series, the new style and focus wasn't really what they had expected. According to an interview with Gameinformer, creative director Todd Batty implies that the designers have actually listened to that feedback - they are dropping the "Deadly Descents"-subtitle and will divide the game into three different parts, where "Tricky Descent" will be more like the old games.
Good news for fans of the series, and hopefully EA will take an even closer look at what made the old games so popular. It sure wasn't their realistic style...
