I've put 2 days 15 hours into this game and I'm MAYBE slightly above average compared to actual humans. I could spend years and never get that good. There must be some practical application for his mutant video game skills. Robotic surgery maybe? Drones? They should run test on people that good at trials.

I'd guess that Redlynx handles testing those by themselves, or lets a few of the top players from previous installments have early access for play-testing. Something like that, at least.japtor posted:The whole clip is less than 4:30 so which part were you referring to? TheGreatGildersneeze fucked around with this message at 02:18 on May 5, 2014 |

You say that now, but pretty soon something will 'click' about how the bike handles, when to brake, when to throttle just a little bit or let off before a jump for a better landing; you'll be watching replays to see how the people faster than you did it. You play the game, then you master it to your skill level (which is a moving target). edit: that moment for me was in Trials Evolution, when I realized that if my front wheel was off the ground and didn't touch the 'lip' of a jump, I could get a much better distance with my back tire only and the right momentum. mr. nobody fucked around with this message at 22:28 on May 5, 2014 |

I'd love to know how Fusion plays for people not used to the series. I played trials hd and promptly hit a brick wall with the hard tracks and frankly felt cheated. And then I played Evolution because of the deafening amount of positive praise, and felt the difficulty curve was much more fair. In particular, Evolution "taught" me how to play Trials on the harder levels, even though I still can't beat the majority of extreme tracks.

I'm on the PS4 and this is my first Trails other than the flash games from a decade ago. I was able to get silvers on every Hard track except Greater Crater without too much trouble. There was a notable difficulty spike from Medium to Hard that was exacerbated by me not playing for a week. I beat one Extreme track, but I think I'll spend most of my time playing custom tracks and going for random challenges.

I'm thinking his time estimates are fairly accurate for average players. Opinions? Recording every button press surely gives them a lot of data to crunch for difficulty and progress measurement. I couldn't gauge the upper limit but I'm thinking if I double my playtime to 100 hours I should be getting close to decent/goodish. http://youtu.be/_Tp7yE5w51I?t=35s 10 hours play time - trials baby 100 hours - experienced 1,000 hours - expert plape tickler fucked around with this message at 13:24 on May 6, 2014 |

Added my name to the PC player spreadsheet, a few of you have added me and it's made it a lot more fun having people's times there to try and beat. I like the difficulty curve in this one. I found Evolution was just easy until you got to the expert tracks, and then bam, game over. Fusion feels like a much smoother curve, and I notice myself getting better after trying a hard track for a while, and there's still room for improvement on them. Expert is still kicking my rear end though.

You just need to accept that if you are a normally functioning person the best you can ever hope to achieve in this game is maybe finishing the expert courses. Anything more than that takes some sort of autistic gift that few of us have.

Don't worry, once the joints sieze more and your fingers become rigidly stuck in the appropriate claw-like formations, it'll start to come together  I feel like I'm hitting my current skill-cap now. Didn't improve any PBs on extreme tracks recently, and not from lack of trying, so will be settling for any remaining plats I can get, and then maybe play something else for a while! You know, it is at times like this that the lack online MP really bites, because that was a great option if your normal racing had gotten bogged down.

There's only like 10 goddamn variations on obstacles, if I dissect those over and over I'll surely achieve digital glory. I've been watching freakishly good trials runs on youtube at .5 and .25 speed over and over. Time well spent.

I had a good run of it this evening, sure. But I still need to work on my trigger discipline a lot. The DS4's reduced trigger-travel compared to my beloved 360 controller is still something I haven't quite dealt with, at least so far as Trials goes. I've replaced fine trigger control with frantic feathering, and its been holding be back some I think. NOTE: This isn't me blaming the controller. Honestly! It's me not being good enough with the controller I'm using. plape tickler posted:Did you export to usb? The quality looked pretty nice for ps4. Aye, one of the very many useful things that came in with the 1.70 update. I doubt I'll ever be creating flashy vids in Share Factory, but it sure is nice to have a simple means at hand to trim and join stuff before offloading it. I'm still crossing fingers and toes for 1080p60 capture at some point. Having captures crunched down to 720p30 before it even passes through Youtube's grinder is a bit grim.

When MLB didn't unlock at midnight I played some hard tracks again and did a lot better. Being ok with rolling backwards sometimes seems to be the key. And by "better" I mean actually finished the track before quitting. But at least it got me back into the game.

The ds4 controller seems like a moderate handicap in this specific game compared to the 360/bone controller. I've tried it on all 3 platforms. Tiny poo poo makes a huge difference in this game when you're hanging on by millimeters. Here's a clip of a lucky fmx run I had 2 weeks ago. I downloaded it from facebook and re uploaded to youtube. So at least it's one less set of compression now with usb export. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yso5kvbFV44 magimix posted:

Two hours of retrying and I got the gold on Redlynx Derby. Pretty pleased with that. I keep going back to Ice Climb and getting no further though, although it's definitely one of my favourite tracks. There's just something about that track that makes me forget how to bunny hop properly.

What made it start to come together for me was, in many places, to *stop* myself from preparing for a bunnyhop by leaning forward. Stay in the rear posture, and just go for it. The fact you are on a slope will give you the lift, and a good hop if you flick foward promptly. Edit: Yaaaaaay, and Frost Bite falls too

It's probably a terrible idea, but I have the most fun on Ice climb using the Rabbit. I'd use it more but it seems like it doesn't have the power for a lot of the gaps in other tracks. Or at least I don't have the skill to clear them...

Edit: Also, for those of you with the PS4 version who haven't had as chance to play for a day or so, the latest title update seems to address the season-pass issue.

If you are on PS4 and want to see some really great custom tracks, check out 'killthewicked'. They've made a load of tracks, not all of which I've yet sampled, to be sure, but in particular they've made some *fantastic* hard technical tracks that use the Rabbit. Hopefully the 'BMX FREAK' series will have a long and fruitful life. Edit: Every time I want to recommend a track to someone, it grinds my gears that I have to have 'if you are on platform X' as a proviso. Sure, a platform agnostic Track Central was most likely always an impossible dream, but nonetheless it is a crying shame to force the builder community into seperated silos. magimix fucked around with this message at 20:50 on May 7, 2014 |
