Snowboarding fans can now get stoked as Destineer and developer BongFish have announced that January 20, 2009 is the official launch date of Stoked, the open-world, backcountry snowboarding video game exclusively for the Xbox 360. Stoked is developed by snowboarders, for snowboarders and offers five huge, open-world mountains, dynamic and changing weather patterns, the participation of X-Games champion Travis Rice as well as some of the most respected names in the snowboarding community worldwide.
 
“Thanks to the input from the gaming and snowboarding communities about what they would want in a video game, Stoked has really captured the wide-open thrill of backcountry snowboarding,” said Paul Rinde, CEO of Destineer. “We set out to create an authentic snowboard video game experience and Stoked is primed to deliver just that in January 2009.”
 
To truly capture the high-flying and exhilarating abandon and attitude of professional back-country boarding, Stoked was developed in conjunction with world famous snowboarding movie production house Absinthe Films, who has created some of the most progressive and cutting-edge snowboarding films to date.

  • cool
  • this is the skate of snowboarding, its dual stick controls
  • at #8 - is that a snowboarding pun or a coincidence?
  • i beat shaun white might just pick this up to beat quick
  • @2 i loved ssx tricky, they should make it for the 360
  • screens look really nice... can't wait to see more this game could be good.
  • I havent played a snowboarding game since SSX3. I hope this game can live up to SSX. Surely looks cool. And I hope it does better than Shaun White cuz that game doesnt seem to be getting too much good feedback =/
  • This looks a million times better then Shawn White.
  • Im stoked! Ha get it and if you didn't think that was funny then I hate u.
  • @2 and 13 ssx tricky was awesome wish they would put it on the xbox =]
  • this has the potential to be a very good game.
  • Why does this game look like an upgraded-graphics Amped 4 or something? Is it the same company? Looks good...
  • Looks way better then Shawn White. Hopefully it plays better too.
  • SO that means both Skate 2 AND Stoked in the 2nd half of January...oh man.
  • I WANT BOTH! by that i mean skate and stoked
  • i havent played a snowboarding game since cool borders 4 on ps1 but this looks really good graphic wise and with the dual stick controls like skate was it could only be way amazing maybe they'll release a demo before launch for us to try it out?
  • getting shaun whites for christmas and probably hold out till february to get this for my birthday.
  • ssx tricky and ssx 3 were great. i cant remember the last time i actually said EA should make a game but they should definately a new ssx
  • #26, Yeah, SSX3 was awesome. On Tour was a massive let down, only good thing was introduction of skiing. I'm into skiing myself, not much of a boarder. Either way, this game looks pretty sick.... Better than SW Snowboarding, that looked a bit lame. I just wish they'd do something like this for skiing....
  • mabye, mabye not, need to see a demo first...
  • Looks damn cool tbh, if it's a choice between this and skate 2 though i'm afraid this will have to wait =[
  • In the screenshot with the chopper If u can get out anywhere thatll be gr8 :D Looks pretty good last snowboarding game i played was ssx tricky and thats gd fun
  • Cant wait to get my hands on this.. this looks so much better then the cheesy shawn white game..
