It really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise at this point, but the new SSX title is going to be released with an online pass by Electronic Arts because that is just what they do nowadays. I mean, when you can stick them into single player games, ones with legitimate online gameplay are perfect to withhold.
Technically the online pass has not been announced by EA, but various videos of the game have been popping up on the internet, including one long video at Giant Bomb, that show the online pass mechanic is still in effect, staring at you from the bottom of the screen until you pay what you owe.
