Steep

The open world stuff does work really well, sitting looking down a piste picking a line and having another wave and then start off down the hill, then you drop and chase after them, it's pretty sweet!
 
I don't think there's any weather, not in the beta anyway.

It's running on Snowdrop (the Division engine) so will have some nice visual capabilities, probably a gameplay decision rather than anything.

Had a quick blast. I like the variety of being able to switch sports. Nice game to just stick on, bang on some spotify playlists and mess around.

Pretty hard the tricks though, timings are very tight.
 
Well, I've put in a good few hours now...takes a bit of getting used to.

First up, it's *hard*. The timing on jumps is super narrow, you really have to nail it perfect to get the big scores.

The networking is pretty janky, lots of teleporting, kinda takes away the fun of having other players around.

It's annoying some areas have fixed sunlight...I don't want to always do this run at sunset!

At first I thought there wasn't that much to do, but you actually have to explore and scope out drop zones with your binoculars. Once you do a little exploring plenty of stuff opens up.

Some of the text is too small to read.

But overall, I'm enjoying it, haven't had a good snowboard game for ages, the wingsuit/paragliding stuff is a fun bonus :)
 
One thing I would say after playing a bit more.....Skiiing feels better than snowboarding. It just works better, the timing on jumps feels right, tricks are better, just generally more rewarding and less frustrating than snowboarding.
 
I enjoyed the beta, still waiting for my release copy.

It's a different game to Amped and the like. It's far more about finding your own routes down the mountain and exploring than just running a level over and over for a high score.

Timing on the trick system is brutal though, found it a little unforgiving in beta.
