Much more interesting location, even if the gameplay is similar. I will probably buy on day one, i always felt like i missed out with the first one. Then again i could see myself getting to the hard tracks, getting pissed off and never playing it again.

Guess who I am marking as my rival

Can't wait for this game. I would say 250 is conservative

[levitynyc]

Bring it

You really need to learn the game before you head to the harder levels.

The easy and beginner tracks take very little skill unless you want top 10% times. The medium tracks introduce light climbing which is what a lot of people have problems with. You really need to get good at the earlier tracks before moving up to hard.

Hard levels kick you in the face right away where they are like "Oh you weren't paying attention? Guess what, this first hill is going to take you 100 attempts to climb."

Expert levels are their own breed of insane, but once you get good at the hard levels you should be able to pass the expert levels.

The preview hints that the mini games are good teaching tools in the sequel.

I always hated the Space Station level, and I also hated the levels that made you use the donkey bike.

Not overly excited about controlling ufos

Same here

Did you ever get the achievement for doing one of the courses with the Donkey Bike and no faults? I tried for an hour one day with no luck. I think it was part of the 2nd DLC pack

downloading - thanks mik!

It's brilliant. And it gets hard as HELL on the hard levels.

[lactose]

seems like a cross between trials and joe danger.

looking forward to banging my head against the wall. Getting through the extreme levels in trials were the most difficult/rewarding gaming moments of my life

So Ubisoft just bought RedLynx. Between these guys and Twisted Pixel, what's with awesome indie devs who seemingly don't need a corporate cash influx selling themselves to publishers with questionable track records lately?

Running a business takes a lot of time and effort...time that I'd bet most of these folks would rather spend developing games. Corporate overlords frees you of that a bit...and you get a huge chunk of change.

[I AM JOHN!]

It just strikes me as odd that these guys who were basically able to buy their freedom by making some of the best selling downloadable console games (which says nothing of Trails 2, which also did really well when it came out) would cash out like this when they don't seemingly need to (well, RedLynx at least; the sense I've gotten from Twisted Pixel is that none of their post-Splosion Man games have sold particularly well, though I don't know that for sure), especially when both of these companies have really bad track records of stripping the studios they buy of their autonomy or out-and-out killing them. But then again, I also said the same thing when Ubisoft bought Nadeo, and they're still being their weird selves, so who knows! Expect the worst, hope for the best.

Musicians continue to sign contracts with major labels. Creative people is dumb.

[levitynyc]

[lactose]

Wow they have certainly increased the scope of this one. It looks like they are going towards the Little Big Planet style for the creation aspect.

Looking forward to the spring

[StinkingBishop]

I would pay 60 dollars for that.

The car stuff looks really interesting.

[famousmortimer]

Terrible song but that looks crazy awesome.

[lactose]

OK Levity - we have a date

http://www.joystiq.c...ps-out-of-sigh/

[levitynyc]

considering taking the day off.

[StinkingBishop]

April 18th will be a fun day. I enjoyed the first couple of weeks of the first trial the most since I could realistically expect to match and beat the times of people on my friends list. Hope it is the same this time.

Looks great - 60 tracks is impressive, and I like the fact that you can have up to 4 players on any track (with ghosts)

Ill be picking this up on the 19th (Sadly I will be out of town for work on release day)

[SickBoy]

exTREEEEEEME!

Seriously, though, looks pretty cool. I'm not one of these savant types who's any good at Trials, so I'll get it when it goes on sale... I'm sure I have plenty of fun left with Trials HD.

[levitynyc]

http://xboxlive.ign..../1222218p1.html

Be there.

I fired up Trials HD last night for the first time in months to sharpen my skills. I was a little rusty at first, but was able to beat a few scores on the last DLC tracks. My original track times are just not attainable for me right now.

some people are so damn good at the original game.





1 more day

kirbutashi is a dick

[KinectFan]

I started the download for this before leaving work. It's going to be a long wait til I get home.


I really enjoyed the first Trials, even though I felt it got very difficult rather quickly, I still liked it. This looks like a much more fleshed out version of that game.

[famousmortimer]

This almost makes me want to plug my 360 in again. Almost.

[levitynyc]

I played an hour before work. Its fucking incredible. The gameplay, controls, and physics are EXACTLY the same as HD. The graphics are much improved. They changed the camera a tiny bit. Its a little more tilted so you can see whats ahead better. Online games were hard to find, but it was 9AM. I plowed through the easy and beginner levels this morning. No problems. Gold on all. Look forward to trying to platinum them.

Leaderboards are awesome.....i love racing against my ghost....

The biggest addition is the way you download created tracks. It takes less than seconds to down them, each track has its own leaderboard. The finder is awesome. It helps that they are rated as "most popular, highest rates, you might like" Its pretty awesome.

The only issue i have is that certain tracks required certain bikes that I hadn't unlocked yet so I couldn't play them.

I can't wait to see what kind of stuff people make.

There's a competitive Foosball table, an angry birds clone, a first person shooting gallery, and what appears to be a baseball field.

I can seriously see me putting 1000 hours into this game.

If you found the first game too difficult, i'm sure the user community will put out hundreds of levels for all skill levels....and they work just like the regular game with leaderboards

For creative people like Pete and Mike (and his daughters), I can see them having a field day making levels for this game.

Its easily my game of the year based on potential.



Everyone buy this... NOW.

.

[famousmortimer]

Yeah, fuck... i forgot about the level editor.


I guess i'm plugging my 360 back in.

[famousmortimer]

Wow, the music is awful.

[famousmortimer]

Oh good, I don't need gold to download tracks.

[famousmortimer]

Not being in a factory automatically makes this game 1000x more interesting. And yes, I'm pretty much just liveblogging my initial reactions.

[famousmortimer]

ok i'll just keep editing this post with more impressions from a casual-semi-trials fan.



I wish doing flips did shit for you. Because flips are fun.


Tracks that turn are neato.



Racing down giant mountains is super fun. Having to stop and do technical shit to get up stupid shit is less fun (to me... i do understand that the hardcore love that shit).



Im assuming the downloadable tracks will give me enough mountains to drive down.


Im gonna upload a video in a minute of me doing the first tournament. Levity will want to punch the screen im so bad. Some NSFW language as I crash.

[levitynyc]

While there is no "power boost" for flipping...It helps you land on your back tire to gain speed after landing. I flip all the time. Watch any of the top scorers on Trials, many people do flips and not just for showing off.
