I've seen people wanting Vita ports, but for this reason it'd be useless on that and on PS3 as well, it's really only the 360 that this can work on.
why couldn't you just use one of the sticks for throttle?

I'd like to see this on PC with obvious 'You can use 360 pad' support
A vita port could work, but the tracks would have to be designed specifically for buttons. Extreme tracks would really be possible, it would have to be all beginner to medium tracks.
Also there is a trials game coming to vita, but it's not from redlynx. It's called Urban Trials.
Doesn't the PS3 have analog buttons also which could be just as useful.

Just keep playing. As you overcome increasingly harder challenges, you'll be able to go back and what seemed difficult previously will be far easier.
you can have quite fine grained control with blipping a digital throttle, especially if the response speed is well calibrated.
Is urban trials the ios game?

That's Brandon Dicamillo? Now I don't hate the song anymore.

I have no doubt that community tracks will soon be vastly superior to the official tracks. (Not that there aren't a lot of great tracks already in the main game)
No, this is urban trials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fRGUrmtFh0
Maybe watch some replays/videos on how to get good times. To see how they land, jump and throttle.

Like he said, watch the top players a bit. Most people will never get anywhere near as insanely good as them but you can definitely pick up some good ideas on how to land, how to climb boxes, etc. Oh, and JUST KEEP PLAYING. This game is all about practice and just teaching your hands how to control the bike slowly over time.
Uh wow... and this is not from RedLynx.
Was fun! Took me a while to get into the groove of things though.
Game is so good
Feels a lot different to the previous game as well, which surprised me quite a bit at first.Sure, tell us the name/details/search criteria.

Well I havent actually shared it yet because it's not done. I would love a few select people to try it out though.

Just because you could, doesn't mean you should! I guess you could do that, but there's no way I could train my thumbs to actually play it well. I've seen similar control schemes in driving games and it doesn't work for me.
It has them, but they're dire.
And less off topic, everyone should try Yeti by Corruptedbomb in the custom tracks, it's pretty funny.
I actually wish they add that option for this game. It is how I play every driving game with a controller. If the option is given of course!
how on earth do use aceelerate and brake at the same time when using 2nd stick method, not to mention the time you waste flicking the stick from top to bottom, its crap
Is there anything i should know about braking? and when in the air i tend to always fuck up the landing, should i be gently pushing the analog? i just push back and forward to i think im good on landing.
Make sure you save an extra copy of the map locally before you upload it.. I hear you can't retrieve/edit tracks that you've uploaded. You also can't delete ones you've uploaded I believe.

I believe they are all original songs made for the game.
NeoGAF Trials friends list leaderboard 24 hours in:
(sorry for the shitty picture. It's off my phone.)
The goal is in two weeks to take shots of all race and skill games leaderboards. They will be off the first page only, so get a favorite track and get #1 out of all the GAFers! Obviously we will keep these modestly updated as long as there is an interest.
Edit: The list has only 90 players on it. If you are one of the ten that does not have the game, you will be removed off the friends list this weekend if you still have a score of zero. This will make room for those who were a little late to send requests.
Nice, I'm number 5.
How do I view this list within Trials?

Gotta play more and get on that list. Wish there was a friends of a friend feature.

You can't, unfortunately. It's just the friends leaderboard for NeoGAF Trials, and you can only view your own friends leaderboard.
It's a me! But I have to be honest, I did get to play the review version a before the launch, so I had a head start.
I figured.. Wish I could see the list, or better yet, play against everyone on the list at once.
Dots would be everywhere!
Nice job. Send me an inv if you have a slot, I like having people that are better than me on the friends list. Gives me someone to catch up to. GT: Abs1nth3

I've got to start working on cracking that top 15.
My problem is always wanting to go full throttle.
My goal last night was to get first on the beginner levels on my friends list. Mission accomplished but I don't think it will last long. At least with those levels I can snag first with as much luck as skill.

General tips for trials, especially handy for harder tracks.
- Fastest is not always fastest.
Watch the top replays on the beginner and medium tracks. You will notice that very often people are not hitting jumps at full speed or are arbitrarily breaking when on straight lines. This is to set up a proper approach for an upcoming obstacle or rhythm section. While it sure can be fun to sail off those big jumps, this often eats away at your time. Learn the courses and try to minimize unnecessary air time. - Think unicycle.
Your rear wheel is key. Landing on inclines, try and place your rear wheel down slightly first. This will give you crucial initial control. Popping up onto the front wheel will result in many faults as you will learn. I found thinking of the bike as a unicycle on tougher obstacles back in Trials HD really helped. - Rear wheel chirp
Chirping the rear wheel when you make contact with the ground can help stabilize the bike. Just a quick squeeze of the throttle upon impact can minimize bounce, keeping the energy lateral. (chirp the wheel and you won't crash as much) - weight shift
Mastering weight shifts is really important later on. The tutorials will help with this. Often hitting the timing on rhythm sections requires varying levels of preload and release to clear them. Just think of what happens to the bike. Leaning back slightly compresses the rear shock, and when that is suddenly released, especially when timed with a ramp, there is significantly more pop. - don't back up
When you start getting stuck on harder tracks and have to keep tackling the same obstacle over and over, resist the urge to back up to get more speed. The devs have placed the checkpoints so that you can conquer obstacles from that point, so don't always think more speed will help. - brake and gas in the air
Braking in the air, as with real motorcycles, causes slight forward rotation. Conversely, gas in the air, causes a slight rearward pitch, or at the very least can slow an unwanted forward rotation. This combined with weight shift is an advanced maneuver that comes in handy on the more technical courses.

Also, I learned this morning that you're not supposed to accelerate down steep hills. My mind was blown.
I've been playing Trials wrong for three years.
I wouldn't hold out for the PC version soon, though it may happen. Are you willing to wait years? Trials HD came out 3 years ago is still XBLA only.
Didn't know most of these, should help later when I try to gold star most these tracks. Thx for the tips!
Yeah this too. When there is a very steep decline (like rollercoaster for example) it's better to stay in neutral.
Yes, 'coasting' will let you go faster on long downhill sections than just full throttle would allow. Sometimes this is not best though. For instance, in HD, coasting could cause the bike to go so fast that when it transitioned to flat at the base of the hill, the 'pressure' to the bike's suspension would mirror that of a long drop and cause the bike to explode/break. The devs did say in an interview some time ago that coasting is beneficial in certain tracks in evo.

Damn, some of these tracks are frigging dark. I had to crank up the brightness on my TV for Groundhog Asylum.
yeah some of the dark tracks can be annoying. ive lost track of my riders position a few times when hitting some really dark patches.
thats cool. nice riding!
thats cool. nice riding!
nice to see I stayed in the top 1k overnight somehow (was like 585 last night), but mannn that's not gonna last when people really dig into the game
pretty sure only reason I got that high is I played most of the tournaments last night, almost nobody is doing those yet
I'm around 12-14k in HD, I cracked 10k once and then got lazy

I love my girlfriend to death but I'm secretly counting down the hours until she has to go to work today so I can play more of this game... am I a bad person?

Drats! I need 810 Microsoft Points before I can buy this game! Now I have to purchase 1200 points and still retain my leftovers. Looks like the system is working as intended; it's too bad it screws over the end user. :/
In any case, I'm really looking forward to buying the game. I love Trials!
