  #1  Stoked Rider - Alaska Alien announced  Posted 04/10/2006 @ 06:16
aloha,

i am representing the developer of Stoked Rider, the video game series on Outdoor Action.
after finding out you have already discussed the previous SR-title in this board, let me put the latest news here on the table.

Following this years release of Stoked Rider ft. Tommy Brunner ( which was tragically overshaded by the avalanche death of the game's reallife legend & consulter), we are proud to announce a new title in this series.

Stoked Rider - Alaska Alien again brings you back to the impressive mountains of Alaska. Featuring 64 square kilometers of untouched powder-paradise this game offers the closest-to-the-real-thing snowboarding physics ever found in a game.

Our goal is not only to have a great game for snowboarders, we are also keen on bringing out the message to all people not yet infested with the snowboarding virus.

So spread the word!

another thing i suggest is make the challanges a tad easier to start out and give more guidelines its a little hard to follow some of them.

Yeh its a fab game, I found the 5 (i think) challenges really easy and so it didnt take long to complete them, you could possibly make a few more. Also in freeride mode when u helicopter up high it says maximum altitude reached, unlock better chopper. But there isnt anyway of unlocking one is their? Also does th scenery repeat itself so it keeps going and going ?

Other than that i think its ace
Cheers

i think i may be mistaken but when you do the 5 the length and score you need to achive gets higher this is ok but gets to a point where its not possible on the gear you can afford with the money you can make of the challanges that are passable.

thanks for all the feedback.

remember this is a beta-version and does not represent the full final game.

the final version features:

5 Tutorial runs
this gets you into basic boarding controls etc.
once you mastered those runs, the FREERIDE mode gets unlocked

Freeride Mode
this gives you access to control a helicopter and explore the mountain for your own dropzones.
to get access to the whole 64 square-kilometers you need to make your way through a qualification-scheme enabling to access higher dropzone & or earn better helicopters.

once you find a great run, its possible sharing this with your friends using the challengebrowser.

Challenge Browser
this is the multiplayer part of the game where you can watch the craziest runs of your friends and being able trying to beat other runs aswell uploading your own highscores.

Board Shop
with earnings from competing in challenges or money rewarded from achieving heightmeters select from a different boards, clothes, impact-protection etc.
resulting in heavily modification of the physical board/rider behaviour

to avoid making this all too serious there's smth else waiting in this game - take a look here:
alien hoovering videoclip

there are some features being revealed in the final version.

this game is developed by small but dedicated team and we welcome the word-of-mouth from you guys to get this game out. ( since mainstream PC gaming press isnt too interested in telling about this game)

cheers
