SSX dev diary takes in the Himalayas, Alaska, and Siberia

By Brenna Hillier

Remember when everything was a snowboarding game? Why did we stop doing that?

EA Sports used NASA topographical satellite data to create 3D models of real mountains – and then went mildly nuts making them the extreme playgrounds the series calls for.

SSX is due in January on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It’s the first game in the long-running franchise since 2007.

Thanks, EvilAvatar.
