Steep Release Could Be Imminent As Copies Go On Sale Via Dutch Retailer

Never played Steep. Is it any good? Is it anything like SSX or is it more realistic? Prefer ott to realism

Completely forgot about this game🤔

Annnnd they've said it was a mistake before you published the article lol. Gotta be faster next time.

@Dom

“Let me us know what you think”

I think most articles on here need better proof readers.

But yea, seems like they are getting ready for sale or just a simple mistake.

The sequel is already out on other platforms.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It's more like an expansion really.

Nice, this is the store I usually buy my games.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE no it's not

@Oscarzxn I haven't played it, so I don't know.

Didn't this game kinda review pretty poorly and then... not sell?

I really hope this doesn't turn out to be like WWE 2k18. This one looks fun.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Have you even looked at that yourself? It says "includes base game and expansion". It's not a sequel, but dlc.

@jswhitfield8 I loved 1080, but snowboard kids was me and gf at the time's jam. We battled a lot on that. However snowboard kids 2 let us down. Thanks for the flash back.

@FragRed It averaged about 70% and yes I think it sold poorly.

Oh, it's NedGame. Yep, take this with a lot of salt.

@DrkBndr So it does, sorry.

I think I've seen somewhere yesterday that someone from Ubisoft Montreal responded to a question on Twitter saying to keep the eyes open today for a new announcement. Maybe it's about Steep?
I have pre-order it already, even not knowing the release date, because I really liked 1080 and this will keep me busy until Nintendo give us a new entry of 1080 (and please, Wave Race).

Really keen for steep... I loved 1080. I just wanna snowboard and ski!

No way this runs properly on the Switch... would much prefer a good SSX... one like SSX on Tour and not like the most recent reboot where the main goal is to not die. There's no dying in SSX...

Ubisoft teased some news in a couple of days. Could be South Park could be this?

Will this be 4 player split screen?

I was going to pick this up on PS4, but held off when the Switch version was announced over a year ago. Still have not touched ot, lol.

Sign me up for a ski pass

I just want them to kill the online requirement. Still mourning For Honor.

@Saego I grew to hate nedgame over the past year. It’s overpriced compared to gamemania (which can be really generous with their prices these days), it makes up way to high prices for new games (Tboi being €60 for example). Only good thing I can say about them is their amiibo prices were really low back when amiibo were rare and they are willing to import games from japan and america if you request it.
I see a lot of jokes about gamemania being overpriced and giving nothing for trade ins but that’s just people thinking it’s gamestop and never actually going there. Also they have great deals and sales (like 5 ps2 games for €10 as long as the individual games are €9 or below and 3 used games for the price of 2 including every console except for the switch.)

Sorry if this was useless, just wanted to rant to someone who knows nedgame 😓

It's still selling for strangely high prices on PS4. But the thing that makes it a mess is how they released it. It's the base game, then the updated base game, then 3 different expansion packs, but what they contain and how they work all are confusing. I was just looking at it on PSN store yesterday trying to figure out how it all goes together and what part is what and couldn't make sense of it. meanwhile the "demo" is still available and prominently displayed on PSN, allowing you to download all 10GB or so of it, only for it to connect to the server and tell you the demo will be available from Nov24 to Dec 5, "thanks for playing!"

Then it was confirmed to be coming to Switch and then never mentioned again.

Everything about Steep is a mess from top to bottom. Even Squeenix made more sense of the distribution mess that was Hitman than this. You can buy one of 6 packages and not really understand what you're actually getting. Might pick it up if it's $9.99, but I'm not sure why it's not there yet.

@holygeez03 Doesn't it run on the same engine as Rabbids? It could run. I'm guessing the online requirement was the main problem for Switch. It just won't work with most Switch usage if it has to always be online.

Why do we get "news" articles about accidental game listings on random Dutch websites but not get articles on actual Nintendo news like this weekend's ARMS Party Crash?

@darkswabber I dont like Nedgame but I hate gamemania, gamemania is a horrible store with most poopy customer service ever (next to Media Markt).

Wont even start about their stock and crappy webstore, gamemania is a shop people go purely for low prices just like media markt.

I used GameMania in the past, but after few times getting incomplete or non working second hand games I went full eBay on that.

Nedgame at least has more variety, but is overpriced so I don't buy there neither.

And really gamemania is 1:1 like gamestop, dont defend that p**p store.

@Rayquaza2510 sorry, question, what gamemania do you use? Like all stores in the netherlans there is a difference between management. My experience with alkmaar, haarlem and zaandam have been great.
Their webstore is **** but it’s only functional since half a year and as far as I know the development/organizing of their webstore was in hell for 3 years before it went up.

Only bad experience with customer service I had was when I ordered something from a different place to be delivered to alkmaar because of confusion (got a few wrong games delivered because of sub title mix ups, got a few wrong lego dimensions packs for the same reason and once it took them 3 months to send 10 ps2 games over I was supposed to get from my grandparents as a christmas present, got them in march.)

edit: our experience may difference from each other because of a other reason, I buy a lot of games simply to have them in my collection not specifically to play them. For me it’s great to get as much of these games (games I just want to own rather than play) for as low of a price as possible which gamemania offers to me.

@Morlock5K : I played Steep on Xbox One and its quite cool, and controls is nice too.

This is Watch Dogs Wii U all over again.

Late release, and No Extreme DLC or Olympics DLC included.

It’s no 1080. But I am willing to give it a try provided it’s not an online-only buggy mess.

@darkswabber I like NedGame for their PC prices, but everything Nintendo related is expensive (although we're talking about Nintendo here). But honestly, they accept pre orders right when a game's first trailer is released.

And for GameMania, I honestly think their trade in prices are low. I would always advise people to sell their games through Marktplaats, instead of GameMania or other stores. I can't blame GameMania for this though, they need to make profits too.

Expecting this to flop hardcore unless it’s priced competitively

@Dom Update: The listing is a mistake.

Played the Steep beta on PS4 it was ok, but I would rather have another SSX Tricky game instead, also I would rather ubi-soft bring over some more Assassin's Creed games those are my favorite ubi-soft games.

If it's good, I'll give it a whirl! I want to thank Ubisoft for their support and the excellent M+R: Kingdom Battle.

After that WWE "sneak release", I'll be reading reviews first haha.

The only way I am buying this is if the Olympics DLC is included.

IMO, that's the best ski and mountain sports game of all time !

I'm in on Steep. Give me my squirrel suit!

@darkswabber to start of, I collect games too and Gamemania has some titles cheaper than anywhere so that's why I bought used games there in the past.

Second, no idea about Alkmaar and Zaandam but Haarlem and Amsterdam Nieuwendijk are terrible on all fronts, Almere and Lelystad have "OK" service but same issue with not working or incomplete games.

Before you start, I was a happy GM customer for years, but the last 2 before I stopped going there were terrible to say at least (and I went at least once a week to them, they got enough chances)
