If the game industry gives me just one last remaster before its remastering machines run dry, please let it be SSX Tricky. From today’s point of view, when many big publishers are still betting on realistic stylings and serious performances, it’s probably not as simple to make a case for SSX Tricky as it was to make one for a series like Tony Hawk’s. Both may have a killer soundtrack and are certainly beloved sports games for players of my generation, but SSX Tricky could never act as a vehicle for its sport or the sporting personalities behind it. It fundamentally lacks the real-life marketing and real-life history that is such a big part in FIFA, F1 and the other sports games with annual releases and big licensing deals.
