It’s about time to get a little tricky.

EA Sports is bringing back their over-the-top, exhilarating and tricked-out snowboarding game Feb. 14. As many of you remember, SSX was known for the insane trick moves you could pull off while racing down a hill at blazing speeds. Though the game may look and feel slightly different, the essentials are still there to keep a smile on your face.

The three modes include Race It, Trick It and Survive It. The race and trick modes are identical to what you should expect from any SSX game, but the new survival mode adds an extra twist.

Still nothing we haven't really heard since day one. Nothing yet about controls, HUD, and very little about multiplayer (offline or online).

I hope to see some updated raw gameplay footage soon.

Gameplay footage will be very soon.

What do you want to know about controls?

Sounds good!

I heard they were doing things like Skate, converting to the right analog stick for tricks. SSX: On Tour was the first one to have "monster tricks" used on the right stick, but you could only have like eight different tricks at a time. I wanted to know how they expanded that, how the meter fills up this time around, etc.

I think it's a safe bet that the controls will be similar to Skate. EA really did a great job with the controls for Skate, so them adapting it to snowboarding looks probable.

My fiance loved the PS2 versions. Says she doesn't want to play this one, but we'll see if she feels the same way once I buy it and pop it in the PS3!

You can use the sticks or buttons to do tricks. I tried the sticks, but I wasn't too stoked about them. But once I went back to the buttons, life became good again

Which is what sadly brought me to the question about offline splitscreen multiplayer being in the game, because I have a good feeling that it isn't.

Also, not that I would care either way, but did they remove skiing in the game after it was in On Tour?
