Help SSX interview need questions before 2pm

Grumpypants

Right ive an interview with a SSX producer at 2 and need to fish out some relevant questions.

So far ive general ones to ask about the real locations and if they will have free exploration of mountain ranges for people to go off track.

One about the story mode and just what fans of the series can expect from this new direction.

Otacon

What online modes will be available? Will there be a beta for it?

Any plans to incorporate peripherals like Kinect or Move? What about 3D?

What new characters will be available? Will there be console-exclusive characters, like Kratos in the recent Mortal Kombat game?

Phazer

Why get rid of the suffix 'Deadly Descent'?

Gunmonkey

What about character customisation, either asthetic or in terms of moves?

Is there an unlock system in place for such extras (money, achievements, winning races, etc)?

What kind of race/ stunt events will there be (race, big air, stunt run, slalom through gates)? Is it a more traditional race route or adopts the Burnout Paradise style free roam race where you make your own route to the finish line?

Were you surprised by the initial negative reaction to the early promo trailers and did it force a rethink in the game's direction?

Ssx -remember it sounds like sex :pac::pac:

Q:
"How do you think SSX can stay topical and fresh, now that the 90s have faded and EXTREME sports aren't cool anymore?"

I'm disappointed for kinect owners. Surely snowboarding would be an ideal candidate for kinect since you control a snowboard by shifting your body, and not something which is unnaturally "tacked on" like so many other kinect enabled games.

Its covered in the 2nd half of the interview (tomorrow) but he basically said they started SSX before kinect or Move had come out so didnt bother with it as they had enough on their plates.

Can't see the need, doesn't Kinect automatically upload your pics and vids of you jumping around like a muppet? I'm sure someone will ring the medics when they see you land squarely on your neck and not move...
