Shaun White has some company/competition by the looks of it  There's another Snowboarding game on the Horizon called Stoked (Still no sign of a new SSX though xS) . Kotaku's report linked below :-
It looks like Shaun White may have a bit of competition. While Destineer's upcoming snowboarder Stoked wasn't built using the Assassin's Creed engine (and it doesn't sport a Wii version with Balance Board support), it does have some things going for it. First off, it was created with the help of snowboarding movie creator Absinthe Films.
“It’s all about defining your riding style and crafting the line that suits you,” said Peter Anthony Chiodo (“Tony”), Destineer’s Director of Product Development. “Stoked leaves well-worn resorts behind and gives players absolute freedom to ride wherever they want and trick off of anything they can find in some of the most famous backcountry locations the world has to offer. Gameplay is focused on style and finesse, not button mashing; Destineer and Bongfish have created a game that looks and plays like a snowboarding movie.”
Adds Patrick “Brusti” Armbruster, co-founder of Absinthe Films: “Developing a snowboard video game has always been a dream of mine. There are endless synergies between a snowboard film production and a game developer that were just waiting to be activated. Bongfish and Destineer have realized this potential, and have shown a real passion for snowboarding, and together we’ve worked to bring snowboarding luminaries from across the planet together for this project.”
Stoked includes five famous mountains featuring over 45 square miles of open terrain in each location, hidden drop points for helicopter starts, dynamic weather, multiplayer support and tons of real world pro riders. Among the list: Travis Rice, Nicolas Mueller, Wolle Nyvelt, Annie Boulanger, Romain de Marchi, Tadashi Fuse, Gigi Ruef, and Bjorn Leines.
Stoked is scheduled for release in November. More details on the jump as well as a chunky gallery.

actually having looked at the in game pictures and reading the idea of the game, this could well dominate amped and definitely shawn whites game. especially the part that reads 'this will play like any snowboard film out there' great stuff. the graphics look ace and they seem to know what snowboardings all about. |

Yeah, I was quite impressed with what I've seen so far....it'll all hinge really on how it controls though :S
....would still like to see another SSX released as well though, I know a lot of people didn't like it for it's lack of realism, but it was always bloody good fun regardless x) |

theres the official trailer, it doesnt look as smooth as it could be tbh, although obviosly they got plenty time left to fix it up. also the style of the game is exactly what im looking. realistic tricks and style rather than ridiculous racing or cliffdrops the size of niagra falls. also i like the helidrop idea where you can fly the helicopter to drop points and do helifilming. |
