Correction: Super Uber does exist, and the boost color doesn't change.

Ah man the part with them all in the plane would’ve been a great addition to the final intro

For a pre-alpha, this is actually fairly polished and not at all far off from the finished product

Bro, when Atomika hit the scene, it was like I was listening to some bored intern blab on about his Monday. *so glad* they gave him the much needed face life in the final. (Also to note, I've always wanted Mac's board in the demo/intro as an unlockable. Such a kickass design)

You know its a demo when it says Moby and Mac are friends

This demo is from Official U.S. Playstation 2 Magazine issue #73, for anyone curious to know

I love the idea of some higher up people at EA getting to play this build and thinking "yep, history is about to be made"

Final version blows this away.

That intro is incredible and reminds me of the 2012 game in it's seamlessness and scary mountain shots.

I’ve been looking for this! I remember getting this demo in the PlayStation Magazine around October 2003.

Really nice find. My favourite game of all time. There are A TON of differences to point out from this to the final version... -On the control list before you start the demo it says that Handplant is Triangle, Ollie is R3 and the air adjusts are completly different to the final version. Handplant is Circle, Ollie is X and you use the directional buttons to turn in the air. - It has a placeholder title design. -It uses a remixed version of Screw Up by Overseer for the title screen instead of a normal version in the final version. -The jet intro with the characters is gone. Should have kept that when starting off playing Conquer The Mountain mode. -It uses Higher Ground by the Executioners instead of Ride by Deepsky when starting to play Conquer the Mountain Mode. It is also used for the main menu music here whilst Screw Up by Overseer is used in the final version. - Snow Jam, RNB and Crow's Nest look VERY different. As you mentioned already, they had alpha names. -The speedometer, score hud, score details, trick details, uber meter and snowflake are recycled from SSX Tricky. -The snowflake count text is different than the final versions. -The bonus score for different performances is gone in the final version. -Mac's board used here is gone in the final version but it can be seen in the opening intro of the game near the very end. -The boost is blue but in the final version its yellow. -Placeholder VA for DJ Atomika. Some dialogue is cut and altered too. - The different events, shop and transport have different text font and glass designs compared to the final version. - Player entering event podium cutscene with dialogue is gone in the final version. Only the player entering the event podium survives. Should have kept it. Maybe they were going to recycle the pre-race rival cutscenes from SSX Tricky? -Podium placing is slightly altered in the final version. -This demo uses placeholder text for event information. -Aggression information is completly altered in the final version. Its only shown by "!" symbol on CPU and getting a message from them when you hit them many times which makes them angrier. -Placeholder countdown design is changed in the final version. -As Mei Hatsume pointed out already, Allegra's alpha name was Ariel. -There is no wipeout reset flash that fills the screen. -The direction glass with arrows is yellow but in the final version its blue with white arrows. -The results text box is placed on the bottom of the screen on the final version. The run amount is removed from it too. -The event and freeride have different glass and text designs. -There are blocks used instead of diamonds for bonus points in the final version. -The Uber VO is more vocal in this than in the final version. She doesnt say much for tricks and performance. Interesting sidenote: If you played SSX 3, watched the intro several times and bought the E3 Trailer in the Peak 3 Shop, you will notice that many things from it are the exact same on this video.

This DJ Atomika sounds like he's sick

So weird to hear a different dj atomica with the same lines but a different person.

The intro was the best part

18:23 no honda element :( Very cool to see an alpha version of this game. Best ssx imo. Played it for hundreds of hours as a kid.

That’s awesome!

Such a cool share. Thanks!

08:06 interesting that early atomika calls it Snow Jam but it's named Bear Paw in the demo and by the race announcer

5:33 Moby’s aggression toward Mac is Friend?? Pfft. Yeah, right.

This is awesome thanks

16:59 "F*cking b*tch!" 😳

SSX 3 Online for PC should be release !!

Wish that Mac and Moby’s boards in the demos was the original ones of the complete game! They look so sick!

Its surreal hearing the mix of placeholder music with tracks that made it to the final game. Im glad they went with the somewhat grittier/y2k design rather than zany 90s; that was more SSX Trickys' thing. That being said, that last course kinda looked better than the later track in that area.

2:47 I love how the song goes "Into the stage(?)" while ur dropped off at Happiness. Little stuff like that makes a game beautiful.

Ahh this is cool

if SSX3 released now EA would put it out in this exact state

Seems like some of the scenes are referenced in the Deadly Decents.

Wow R&B looks so much different, I can definitely see why they completely removed the cable car from going over the coarse but interesting to see this version of R&B in the final game intro

I noticed with tricky and 3 the boards in the intro/beta always get dumped but they look dope asf

Imagine if Snow Jam ended up being Bear Paw like in the demo, omg

Camera angles on the demo version is so much better than the actual game

i like that you can ride on the rocks instead of just bouncing

I have an Xbox demo of the game but I don't have a console working anymore to check it out. It's similar but instead of a score in freeride, I was able to earn money with the tricks (it was possible to earn more than 20$/trick) And I think there were others collectibles in the levels (I am not sure about that)

The music for Bearspaw sounds like it was borrowed from Area 2 in REZ - a track called “Protocol Rain.”

That intro was so sick they should have kept it in the game

LOL I just realized the snowflakes that fall are using the same sprite as the retail hud ball.

this is ssx tricky 2.0 omg

I remember this demo dude

How do you go about removing the time limit?

I wish they had that board for Mac in the final version

DJ Atomika sounds like Tom from Toonami in this version

Please share this

Hey, is it technically possible to import the beta R&B to the final version of the game?

They should really bring back this camera movement So much better than the one it released with

Is john morgen the voice actor beta dj atomika ?

Glad they didnt use that music at the beginning

I feel bad for the placeholder DJ Atomika VA. I can see why they didn't use his lines. It just felt like something was missing idk.

Does anyone know the song name in the intro?

do you still have the iso ? can we get it ?

This dj atomika is so bad I’m happy it wasn’t in the final version, the final atomika aligns with the burnout 3 timeline which is cool too

Is that snowboard that mac used available in the finished game?

So genial mit anzusehen 😮 wo kann man die Demo Version herbekommen ?

Oof that camera angle right up in the rider's ass would have been so disorienting

SSX Games went like this: SSX: We're testing the waters. SSX Tricky: Now we're doing this for real...and it worked. SSX 3: We're taking a different angle...and it actually did better than our last game (SSX Tricky got critic scores in the 80s and SSX 3 got critic scores in the 90's...it hurts i know...but facts are real...SSX 3 did better). SSX On Tour: We want the gamer to try going up against SSX this time...it wasn't so successful. SSX Blur: This is non canon trash. SSX Deadly Descent: Combine crazy characters with reality and dangerous survival gameplay...not bad.

Where is the audio conversion pack?

Was that placeholder VA for Atomika or were they going for more of an Art Bell style at this point, I genuinely can't tell if that's the same actor

Bear paw (:

Love this video game but it's such a pity that there is almost no interaction between the character

didnt know you could do handplants in ssx3

Why are your cutscenes in like 1080p? I'm on xbox one s and it looks like a potato

2:04 sounds like a meat Beat manifesto song

No Sly Cooper in this video?

What tf is wrong with dj atomica

if ssx3 would be ugly

You're really bad at this game Even for the pre release 😂😂
