It seems that Electronic Arts has found a new assignment for their Medal of Honor team. Because based on the tone of the trailer for SSX: Deadly Descents, it seems like a game about snowboarders who paradrop into Bora Bora to fight the Taliban. That wouldn't be entirely out of sorts with this bit from the press release:
Players will explore the story of a team who seek to be the first to descend the faces of the most treacherous mountain ranges on the planet. The team will travel the world to face the worst that Mother Nature can throw at them. From the peaks of the Himalayas, where the air is so thin that riders have to descend through the death zone at breakneck speeds to keep from blacking out, to the solid ice ranges of Antarctica, where a sunlit line is the only survival option when temperatures drop 50 degrees centigrade in the shade. And the mountain isn't the only danger players will face. In SSX: Deadly Descents the first goal is to survive. The second, in true SSX fashion, is to look good doing it.
Remember when SSX was light-hearted and fun and featured subtitles like Tricky, complete with Run DMC singing along, and you didn't get the sinking feeling that you were going to have to play some gimmicky level where if you snowboarded out of bounds you would freeze to death?
