SNOW is coming to Sony’s Playstation 4! A non over-the-top skiing game. Powered by the CryEngine. What’s not to love? The new SNOW PS4 announcement trailer is out, and the game looks great. It’s like the X-Games without you ending up in the hospital after hitting the bunny slope.
The big selling point of SNOW? It’s free-to-play and completely open world. Want to change the course you’re on? You have the ability to add rails, jumps and other features anywhere on the mountain.
The game offers free riding and freestyle events. You can compete alone or against your friends. Winter sports fans will recognize the gear in the game as you outfit your player with the latest and greatest. Something tells me that’s where the microtransaction economy will come in on the PS4.
The game isn’t going to shatter the world with stellar graphics, but a fun, free-to-play winter sports title is something most PS4 owners will have no problem picking up.
Oh, and if free-to-play doesn’t sell you, the company is at Gamescom demoing the title using Oculus. VR skiing. Your knees will thank you as you age. In Snow, players may choose to relax and roam around the mountain freely, enjoying varied terrain and beautiful vistas. Or they may decide to compete in events, flaunt their skills, and challenge friends through online matchmaking or global leaderboards.
Snow is already on Steam Early Access, and is now a console exclusive on PS4.
