Trials Evolution |OT| ROCK'N'ROLL TRIALS STYLE BABY

This is clearly going to be the best-selling XBLA game of 2012, if not over the service's timespan.

As close to an AAA full retail release as Microsoft's DD is ever gonna get, and the numbers are accordingly.


Just bought it, can't wait to play it later tonight.

The only one that might outsell it is Minecraft but I'm not really sure how well that'll do. It'll either sell tonnes upon tonnes or we'll see that anyone who wanted to play Minecraft has already bought it on PC.
 
This will be getting bought tomorrow as soon as my Honours Project is handed it. Buying it now would kill any chance of me getting it finished in time.

Strap on your hooker ...
the splosion man level in track central is fun (called Boom), hope the person develops it futher into bigger levels
A bigger version of that level is actually in the later skill games included with the game. That person just loaded that exact level in the editor and edited half of it out. He deserves zero credit.
 
Thanks for riding and being one of the 100,000+ Day One players!
whow! RedLynx is here! NICE!

Great job guys. This is my favorite XBLA game to date. You truly did an amazing job and pushed te boundary on XBLA (along with Remedy with their AW:AN). I feel like XBLA is in "next gen" since these games started to show up.

Once again, Trials Evo rules! \o/

Had some great GAF 4player supercross multi.

Sorry guys had a crash after playing the custom supercross track.


Yeah good games mate, a lot of fun.

:)

This game, with all its multiplayer custom maps that can be used make this microsofts answer to ps3's little big planet in my opinion, except an even more fun game mechanic behind it.

Man I can't wait to try this game out this evening! I couldn't get into Trials HD, but watching some videos this really looks like a lot of fun!
 
Man, I see this thread and I'm compelled to go and start up the game again...

So good, pushing my way through Medium tracks at the moment, difficulty is definitely there now. I love the 4 player online too .

Texture popin can be a lil clumsy and jarring when you're restarting a level every 10-20 seconds only to see the details gradually kick in (within 2 seconds) It's minor but it's there.

That and some of the mini games are my only complaint.. Game is golden om terms pf fun and very addictive in a compelling manner.
 
Downloaded last night...never played first one...GAF hype too strong....can not resist...

Just added NeoGAF Trials, My Gamertag is nocode81.

Feel free to add me! I played the shit out of Trials HD. Where are all my Trials HD guys? Whitehawk?
 
loved HD, this one looks awesome indeed... now i regret no longer having a 360 lol :(

will this one stay exclusive to XBLA or are ports to other platforms planned?

Picked this up last night and played a little.

I love that the game has several different environments, but I can't help but feel like they're used too haphazardly. I think the game would have been better served if the environments progressed from one to the next as you worked your way through the game. Start off doing mostly the motocross-looking stuff, progress into the city, then to the warehouse, and WW2 battlefield, etc - Mixing it up some so it doesn't feel completely one-note, but keeping some level of consistency.

That's the only complaint I have so far, though. Everything about actually playing the game seems top notch.
 
I was impressed how quickly they sorted out those servers issues last night. At 5pm things were slow as well, and basically not working at all.

Jumped back on at 8pm and things were running perfectly. :)

Not sure anyone knows exactly but this one is being published by MS and you see Microsoft Studios right away when you fire it up so I think anything is possible but not for a while.

Go get yourself a 360 :) If for nothing else than the epic year XBLA is having.

I own Trials HD and never completed it even though I bought both add on packs.
After playing this, I'm having trouble going back to it, I don't know why because it's still an amazing game and this shouldn't really overshadow it.
 
This is my first Trials game (aside from some time spent with earlier demos). It's awesome. I'm actually getting a Super Meat Boy vibe from the whole thing, with the endless retries to improve level times and the focus on mastering the precise physics.

I'm quite impressed with the diversity of the level design so far. I like the variety of scenery and the unique gimmicks.

There's a farily decent Super Meat Boy track too, I believe in user created. I was in multi with a friend and he brought it up so I'm not sure if it's in game or created, but it exists!

I'm pretty bad at this so far. If you need an ego boost ghost to pass on your leaderboards, feel free to add me: PixelStyles. Had to tear myself off at 1am after 2 hours of 'just one more race before bed..' Sent friend request to the Neogaf Trials as well.

They fixed the RROD problems with the Jasper model (the model before the 360 S we have now).

No worries at all now. Of course anything can break but I have 2 slim models and have hundreds of hours on my first one and it works like a champ still. You will also love how quiet the system is now. It was a very good redesign.

You can pick up the $199 version and just use USB sticks (up to 16 gig) for storage if you want to go the cheap way just to get in. Always add a HDD later.
 
I'm so hooked....

I'm meant to be doing work damn it!

I'd love for there to be a 'recommend track' option, which'd maybe come up on a community feed - would allow for easier competition amongst friends on custom tracks :D

couldn't wait and watched a youtube of the gigatrack. That looks fantastic, nothing too overly technical, and going to be fantastic to try to beat previous times. When does this track appear in the single player game?

yay I'm 9th on the Gaf leaderboard, I'm sure that won't last long hehe, I noticed I already fell ~1k places on the world boards. I can't wait to play more tonight, so much fun!
 
Got caught up in hockey last night and only played this for a few hours. Teamed up with some friends in multiplayer and it was the most stressful, nerve racking, adrenaline pumping multiplayer session ever. Trying to complete the extreme courses before 3 other dudes as you see their ghosts overtaking you and you overtaking them is another level of awesome.

This game, guys. This game.

IIRC it's the last medium difficulty track, right before the A License test. Though I haven't played in like 12 hours (shock! awe!) so I might be wrong.

All achievements done except for finding the squirrels. Now where are you you little bastards! Great achievements in this game. I love the level specific challenges.

I love this game but it's highly unlikely I'll ever get all the cheevos. Especially the Scenic Route-related one.

IIRC it's the last medium difficulty track, right before the A License test.

Good to know. I stopped last night after I got my A license so I haven't reached that track yet. Can't wait.
