00:07Hey everybody, I'm Todd Batty, Creative Director on SSX
00:09and this is part two of our look at the revolutionary online experience
00:12that you're gonna find in SSX.
00:15So in the last video, we talked about how we're gonna change the way
00:18that you play games with your friends when you're online.
00:20We talked about how you can compete in your own schedule
00:23with a mode that we call Explore and a recommendation engine
00:26that we call RiderNet.
00:28Today, we're gonna talk about how you can play and compete with your friends
00:31when you're online together.
00:32And that's in a mode that we call Global Events.
00:34We're also gonna talk about a cool feature that we call Geotax.
00:37Let's start with Global Events.
00:39You know, rather than making you go through a lobby,
00:41sitting around, matchmaking you with a few other riders,
00:44go through a load, letting you play a single run
00:46and then booting you back to the lobby to do it all over again.
00:49We took a different approach with Global Events
00:51that means a lot more playing and a lot less waiting.
00:54The way Global Events works is that there's a constant, ongoing live tournament
00:58at every single drop point in the SSX universe.
01:02These tournaments, you don't have to be there when they begin.
01:04You don't have to be there when they end.
01:05You can dip in and dip out at any time.
01:07All you need to do is just show up, throw down your fastest time
01:10or your highest score, then you can move on to the next event.
01:13Global Events are also a great way for you to earn yourself
01:16some extra in-game currency in SSX.
01:18And the way they work is that some of the Global Events
01:20actually have a drop cost to join.
01:22Some of them are free, some of them have a very low drop cost,
01:25like a few hundred credits, and then there's even a few exclusive ones
01:27with a million credit entry fee.
01:29And then, obviously, the more riders who join into one of those,
01:33the bigger the pot, the bigger the pot, the bigger the payouts.
01:35When the event ends, we'll see where you place
01:37and we're going to award you with some in-game credits for your efforts.
01:40Finally, in Global Events, you can also set up Custom Events
01:43for just you and your friends.
01:45Custom Events take all of the rules that we spread across all of our Global Events
01:49and let you set them however your preferences are.
01:52So you can say, if it's a race, a trick, or a survival Global Event,
01:55you can set gear restrictions, like what level of gear you can use
01:59or whether or not you can use wingsuits,
02:01you can choose whether you're allowed to use rewinds.
02:03Basically, you can customize them however you want
02:05and then invite just your friends,
02:07or you can extend the invite to friends of your friends.
02:09Custom Global Events are a great way for you and your friends
02:12to play together on your own terms.
02:14Finally, let's talk about a completely new feature for SSX, Geotags.
02:18So Geotags are essentially user-generated collectibles.
02:22And the way to work is like this.
02:24Throughout the game, you can earn Geotags
02:26or you can actually purchase them in the store.
02:28And once you've equipped one, your goal is to simply go place it
02:31anywhere in the world for your friends to try to collect.
02:34But here's the cool part.
02:35As soon as you place a Geotag in the world for your friends to try to collect,
02:39it starts to earn you in-game credits.
02:41And the longer that it lasts before anybody collects it,
02:44the more credits that you're going to earn.
02:46So your goal is to either try to go hide it
02:48in the most hidden part of the most remote level,
02:51somewhere in the world that you can,
02:53or if you're more of a show-off,
02:55you can actually try to put it right out in plain sight
02:57at the absolute apex of the biggest there that you can get on the jump.
03:01Overall, we think Geotags are going to be a lot of fun
03:03and another really interesting way for you to compete with your friends
03:06when you're playing online.
03:08But that concludes part two of our online video series.
03:11Thanks everyone, see you on the slopes.
03:12of national hitter.
