"SSX: Deadly Descents" Renamed to Just "SSX," Details Emerge

Originally unveiled at the Spike 2010 VGAs, SSX: Deadly Descents has gotten fans concerned since then, but with new details emerging about the reboot for the franchise, it's safe to say that SSX something to look into as time goes on. The one thing that's noticeable, even in the header of this news story is that the game has dropped "Deadly Descents" from its title.

Game Informer was lucky enough to get an exclusive interview with the Creative Director of the game, Todd Batty. Apparently, Deadly Descents is a game mode in the game and "is all about survival gameplay." He also said that, "Speed Descent" and "Tricky Descent" will be other modes. Judging by the names "Speed Descent" may be like a time attack mode, while "Tricky Descent" sounds like a mode to set up a high score with, well...tricks!

People also complained that in the game's first teaser, it didn't look like the classic games, but rest assured, it'll all be in there.

SSX is set to release on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
