Be Excellent To Each Other

Nah I'm just guessing.

When has a video game movie ever done well?

True

Tomb Raider seems pretty good

I thought DOA: Dead or Alive was very well done and is an excellent piece of cinematography.

EDIT: see

Was that basically the one with all the breasts?

Edit: never mind, saw the Youtube preview.

Anyway, Steep... I played this for the first time last night and I thought it looked lovely! The graphics are superb and the mountains really do make you feel cold.

I thought I'd have a lonely feeling while I was mucking about but I really didn't. There's loads of markers and people to race and there's a huge amount of mountain to discover. I was zooming out of the map screen and it just kept going and going.

I'm not sure on the longevity of the game as there's only 4 different modes of transport that I can see so far but still, that suits me and my limited gaming time. So far, I like it.

For me game of the uear. At least game of the holydays. No white christmas here. But it is on my ps4. And saw some fellow players in xmas outfit

Sorry I didn't take up your invitation last night. I had a friend round and we were taking turns. I love this game so much, though. One thing on my wish list so far would be first person view for the wingsuit flying but without the camera shake, it breaks all immersion and makes it unpleasant to play that way. The only other criticism and I don't know how it could be addressed is that once you are plummeting down the side of a mountain there is nothing to give you a reference as to the gradient, it can feel as though you're inexplicably accelerating across a flat snow field. Only when you go to the replay or stop and look around can you see just how steep it is. Minor quibbles though really. It's brilliant and has left me feeling desperate to go snowboarding again before it's too late and I'm too old. It has also reaffirmed my opinion that proximity wingsuit flying is just for absolute mentals.

For what it's worth, Assassin's Creed had a first week box office take of $22.6m on a production budget of $125m.

Ouch

Only had a dabble so far but this is lovely.

Finishing an event but carving on down the mountain rather than selecting the next one because you're hipnotised by the sunset.

Spent the morning trying to get the most 'G' force on one challenge

can we make a party trying to fall together, that would be amazing..

This is on its way to me via Amazon, and I'm excited to play it.

Looking forward to just taking my time with it and it being quite relaxing - I know it's not like SSX but even in that I wasn't always interested in racing or whatever, and sometimes just wanted to enjoy hurtling down a lovely snowy mountain just because it's there and it's snow.

Really enjoying this. Perfect kind of game for me at the moment, nothing too time consuming, just right for a couple of quick runs.

Still can't beat your wingsuit run, Mark! I've added a couple of challenges myself now (I think )

Yeah, I saw your wingsuit one last night. I think because of the way it drops the checkpoints in at the turns if you fly fairly straight lines then it can be pretty difficult to beat them. I still beat yours obv but only by about 1/10th of a second after a few goes. Marvellous game, not played anything else since I got it.

Exciting times in your speed-wingsuit yards, we are all within .2 secs...

currently endlessly playing the challenge o the bobsleigh track..

Bobsleigh?

That's Robert, to you.

By the way, Amazon have sent my copy of this but it's not buggering here yet.

When I track it, it's still saying "arriving today", which I am struggling to believe.

It's possible. The freelance Amazon Logistics keep their own hours

Yeah I guess so - I think the latest I ever had something delivered was about 8pm or so.

If what you wanted from it was a buggering, you may have bought the wrong thing.

*logs into Amazon account*

You haven't found that one yet? it's going downtown you snowboard on a broken bobsleigh track... quite difficult, but rewarding

I've been watching some gameplay videos of this, just to see what it's all about.

All I want to say is: what the fuck is going on with those trees, man? They look terrible. Like two flat textures of a crap trees stuck together.

I've never even noticed but if that's one of the trade offs they had to make for no loading then it's well worth it I think.

Hmm, that's odd, they look fine when I've played and if I remember correctly they're pretty varied, some covered with snow etc.

Certainly hasn't ruined my emersion when playing.

I discovered a nice ski jump track in the doomed lands which is not even a cool location (i now have the achievement of knowing everything in that region), i made a friend challenge.. let's garmisch partenkirch it..

Cool, I'll have a look later.

Need to get back to this game, not touched it for ages.

Unlocked a great event last night, Salomon sponsored challenge to bomb down a mountain in under 7 mins (Bronze) 6 mins (Silver) and 5 mins (Gold).

Had a few cracks at it and improved each time (nearly getting Silver) but couldn't quite find the best route. One I'll keep going back to I think as it's brilliant eating through the wooded bits.

Is that the one where you have to find your own road? am on silver after quite a few times getting lost... my best tactics seemed to be going left first..

any idea what the new update it is downloading now will bring?

http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/15 ... pdate-1-04

i new found 83% of all challenges or something.. so am wondering if i will buy the 'season pass'..
https://steep.ubisoft.com/game/en-US/ne ... s-detailed

Yeah, that's the one. I realised that it was best to head left first too. There's just a few 'flat' spots where you loose momentum that I need to avoid. I like this style of challenge best really, hope there are plenty more.

Rocket wings!

i guess some of the mountain stories are a bit like this and a few tactical races where you really have to find your best route

Spent yesterday enjoying the new updated, qualified for the group phase of the world tour.. and didn't manage to beat the community challenge i wanted, but i did this morning 6600 points, beat that guys,,,




managed to beat one of your challenges to.. no interest yet for my ski jump trick challenge?

Looking for a new target now, got the 3 fields legend (free rider, extreme rider, explorer) achievement, the all dropzones and the 50% gold medals one (which it actually gives you at 49% but still).. what's left now are mainly wing suit challenges of which are some just too hard for me to get gold in (and some too hard to finish at all), got nearly all mountain stories, except that horrible nordside matterhorn....

here one of the snowboard golds i got yesterday, quite a good time i think

New area. Sweet!

great, downloading now.. was up to 75 golds now, so i needed soms new challenges (do wonder which level i end up, since i was way above 25 i think (i became 75 when i only had finished the explorer path)

Cool!

I haven't read anything about this but, is it free?

Yeah.

Some more difficult challenges, as hoped for, just completed the gold on the tournament-qualifying one... (basically stay on the edge)... and some new kinds of challenge, with actually a fun paraglide challenge...

(and indeed, i lost my XP above level 25)

Yes, steep now olympic DLC! (which kind of makes up for no mario and sonic olympics on the switch).. i just love the wintergames...

Fuck it, this thread will do.

That's a winter sports online game. Apparently it's quite good. CSB
