Out on what platforms, in what territory?
Just tried it...yeah definitely. I saw a good description of it in another forum, it's like a King of the Hill successor. Whereas that one was hard cause the sheer length while the individual elements weren't too bad for the most part, the obstacles in this one are all up to the usual extreme difficulty.

You weren't kidding. 254 faults later it's done. Some of those obstacles were brutal. I've given Inferno IV a few completion runs and I'm at 23 faults on my best run, but I don't believe a topped 60 or so on my first completion. Not real sure how I feel about all the explosive barrels in inopportune spots. I've always thought using the explosives to make a course hard was a bit cheap.
Edit: Holy shit, just watched the 1st place replay. Time to quit trials. That's just not proper.
Heh my first run was about 250 in 18 minutes or so. Tried it again a bit later and got it down to something like 60 under 8 minutes...which I thought was gold but apparently it's 50 for that. So gold seems doable at least, but hell if I know how many I'll be able to get it down to beyond that. I can do a lot of the stuff without too much trouble, like a few faults at most, but there's a few others that just can just rack up the faults like crazy.
The new add-on is $4.99. The first one was $3.99.
I bought the first one (to see if it was worth it) thinking they would be all the same price and if I bought individualy the diference to the season pass wouldn't be that much.
Well, shit. Ridiculous price for 6 new tracks when the game costs $19.99 and has 60. The problem is that I won't be able to play on some of the user created tracks because I don't have the new items.

If you're really into this game, and want more, it only makes sense to buy the season pass.
Picked this (retail) the other day in anticipation of my PS4 arriving. Managed to give it a bit of a go last night and I gotta say, as someone who loved the first two on 360, I'm a little disappointed. Feels like a case of too many cooks spoil the broth as the tracks come across as way too busy/over produced. I am not saying they are bad tracks, it just would've been nice it they had similar visual representation in the early levels as the previous games, maybe have left some of these introduction level tracks as dlc or something. Having hydraulic arms moving pieces of track into place at the last second making it hard to plan a landing angle is frustrating and shouldn't turn it into a memory challenge of how, where and when the pieces move. The camera also feels a tad off, or maybe my memory is a bit hazy about the other games.
I'll give it a decent go tonite and over the weekend.

I gotta say, my initial reaction to the game was similar, but once I got over the style change, it's really grown on me. The DLC tracks are also very good.

Flipping? I almost never flip.
or are you talking about the trick events? It takes a little getting used to, but I have golds on all those events, without too much effort.

Just ordered the season pass as I am a big Trials fan and enjoyed them all.
I think this game is just an example of bigger isn't necessarily better. But its not worse either.
Some lovely environments and if you're good enough (I'm not) the challenges add a nice little element to each track.
I had fun doing the squirrels but that's as hard as I want to get! Extreme tracks are too difficult for me.

I need 10 medals to unlock the rabbit. This is really really hard to do.

Is this game worth the $13 on XB1 right now?? want it mostly for co-op, but need some advice!
I believe it's 110 medals earned to unlock the rabbit. This doesn't sound difficult but those hard and extreme levels are miserably difficult.
Nah, I meant when you do a back or front flip. I used to enjoy adding one into a jump on the previous games but in this even without the stunt bike once you flip once you can gain a lot of momentum to flip 5-6 times.
Up to Level 4 now and unlocked 5. Just got the FMX & Quad Bike. All Golds so far except the Big/Long Jump skill game, stuck on Bronze lol.

Damn I hate this last jump :sad: (this is not me).
I finally got up the ramp with 1 minute 30 seconds left on the timer, and then kept failing the final hop to the finish line.

I love this game
You can always go back and try to get higher medals on the easier tracks.
I suppose it counts getting a Gold as three medals, one for Bronze, one for Silver and one for Gold. I only started playing Trials on Thursday and Sat night I unlocked the Rabbit, much to my surprise. Don't think I'm going to bother with the last bunch of tracks, don't have the patience for Extreme. Will tinker around a bit more with it, maybe try a few of the missions (nearly 100% the 1st tier) and look for some squirrels but aside from that I am pretty much done with it till I decide to get the update and can look at user made tracks (plus check out this 'Into the Light').
Hi guys, I have the season pass but I haven't finished the second to last campaign yet. On about 96 medals.
Can I still play the 2 dlc that are out? It says out now but when I go to buy it it says buy now instead of letting me play...
Do I need to complete the campaign first?

At least give the first Extreme a try, it's basically a Hard+. The other extremes are significantly more difficult. Although the second one really only has two really difficult sections.

Still no actual worthwhile features, sigh. Give me online multiplayer!

May contain jokes =>
Maybe this one will have more than 3 tracks in it
Bought the Deluxe on day 1 because it was $6 off, in store. I am very disappointed at the poor DLC that has been included. Pretty much 1/10th of the content of the 360 DLC, for the same price. The main game, also, was very limited. Will not likely buy another Season Pass or Deluxe Edition of a Ubisoft game, at launch, no matter how nice is sounds.
I feel like this is a motorcycle Destiny.

I'm having a problem on Xbox One. I have the season pass, which is recognized in-game, but it keeps sending me to the Xbox Store, which wants me to pay $4.99.
Edit: Ubisoft said on Twitter it has contacted MS to fix the issue.
Edit: And it's fixed. Finally.

Practice. Then practice some more. Then keep practicing. Trials is a game about actual skill, which you have to obtain by playing a lot and learning how to accurately control the bike in different situations to overcome different obstacles. You can't be good at the Hard and Extreme tracks right away. But keep playing, and you'll soon find that Hard tracks are very doable, and Medium will start feeling really easy. Too easy, even. I was once where you are. These days Medium doesn't really challenge me at all, and Hard just barely does it. Extreme is where I find real challenge in Trials now, and where I still have a lot to learn. Some Extremes I can beat with no faults, others take me tens or hundreds, and yet others (Ninja stuff) I just cannot do at all. You think Hard is really difficult now, but if you keep at it you'll one day breeze through those tracks.
Nah, while there's definitely some stuff that requires precision at that level, I'd say it's more about having a good feel and knowledge of how the bike moves and what you can do with it. I just got it through playing the games a lot over the years, nowadays I guess you can watch FatShady/University of Trials on YouTube for tutorials to accelerate your understanding of stuff too.
Are you getting platinums on the medium tracks, or even the easy stuff? Just going through those helps a lot if you haven't already, it gives more practice with understanding the bike itself since you don't necessarily have to worry about the levels themselves as much. Note that the Pit Viper has a lower top speed so on the long fast tracks the Roach is a better choice for those, but I'd suggest still trying with the Pit Viper just to get used to it since it makes things worlds easier once you have a good handle on it.

Just got it from the EU PSN sale for 24 and something euro with the season pass, I thought of getting the disc version but this is one of those you'd rather have digital. Ready to break my controller lol.

Enjoy Canis lupus
Thanks for the tips guys, I was wondering if I was choosing the right bike but I guess I need a lot, lot, more practice - finding it quite hard to judge the bike well. Think I may check those youtube videos, cheers!
In general you want to use the Roach (highest top speed, rather heavy, easy to handle) for everything up to Medium, and the Pit Viper (best acceleration, lighter, more maneuverable but a bit more difficult to handle) for Hard and Extreme. There are exceptions to this being optimal, but it will always work as a general rule.
I got this game on XBox One the day it came out but am just now waiting for the season pass to go on sale. I am in no rush to get back and play this game but wouldn't mind some additional tracks to race on so I will bite when the season pass is $10 or so. I'm glad to hear these new DLC tracks are good.

Same here, but on PS4. The game itself and the Deluxe edition have gone on sale a few times (at least twice, I'm pretty sure?), but never the season pass, sigh.

So you don't have the season pass? I would definitely say it's worthwhile. The tracks have all been great so far.
I played the new ones last night and had a great time. Some fantastic designs and new environments.
