Steep is Ubisoft's new extreme sports game, complete with 'GoPro view'
4Ubisoft's new original game is based on all the crazy mountain sports moments we watch more talented athletes do on YouTube. Steep is an open world sports game that lets you ski, snowboard, paraglide, and "fly" (via wingsuit) around the Alps and Alaska. Ubisoft released the first two trailers for the game, and it is gorgeous, both visually and aurally.
A big push in Steep is to share your moments and challenge others racing and doing tricks down the mountain. The paths you take can be replayed at various speeds and from various angles. The game's first-person view is explicitly titled "GoPro view," and most / every character has a GoPro strapped to their helmet.
Steep launches this Winter for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
