Holy shit, there's a level editor? I already have this on Steam, but I may need to double dip just for that.

I don't know what that means, referring to n to n+, but yeah Trials HD is actually a completely new game. All rewritten, and most importantly it's now all analog controls.

I was responding to people saying that Trials HD wasn't worth buying if you already had Trials 2 by comparing it the progression made from N to N+. N+ was vastly improved to the point where it felt like an entirely different game. From what I've played, the same goes for Trials HD.

So, I was saying Trials 2 is to Trials HD what N is to N+ (Trials 2 : Trials HD :: N : N+) I just got sick of posting that argument in every thread.

there is no steam release right?

ill get it on 360 then, I love trials 2 on pc, (and yes I only use the 360 pad for it).



edit: wow the pc fans are really pissed lol

I can't speak of our future plans, but I am pretty confident that we will be making Trials games for PC in the future as well. Redlynx has released games for countless different platforms: Nokia N-Gage, Sony PSP, Nintendo DS, Apple I-Phone, PC, Mac and Xbox 360. In the past we have always released PC games between our big console releases, and I see no change for that in the future.

Both console and PC games are important for us. PC (self publishing) brings flexibility and complete freedom for new ideas and consoles (big publishers) bring high production values and ability to create larger and more polished games. Sadly it's pretty hard to achieve both as game publishers are currently not that interested in PC.

meh im not gonna wait around on the pc version (seems like the timed 360 release then pc version later typical ms bullshit as usual). I'll get it on 360, analog controls are good blessing, and hes right, even though trials 2 did have pad support it had no analog support, which is kinda weird but whatever. 360 get!

Damn some of those guys are straight up idiots. Boycott the new game from one of your favorite publishers because it's not coming out on PC? PC elitist in full effect... They should support this game because RedLynx has put alot of time and effort into Trials HD. I 'd double dip if I could.

This game is going to be awesome, and I really hope it sells a shitload. It would be sad to see this overlooked, when a game like TMNT:RS gets alot more buys and is actually pretty shitty.

So I just hope everybody tries out the Trial of Trials HD ( lol ). This game is going to rock, you don't even need gold to share levels between friends.

The guys on Rebel FM were talking the game up. They said the gameplay, and the level editor were pretty good.

I find it funny that Shard went for squatter's rights with the official thread for this and Shadow Complex after Captain N posted the Marvel v. Capcom 2 official thread.

I got a feature set from Redlynx.

Also, a new trailer showing some of the possibilities in the level editor:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AVNtZbBgeg

Game features:
- Two game modes: Trials Racing and Skill Games.
- In Trials Racing you have to pass various obstacle filled tracks by doing as few faults as possible. Scores with equal faults are separated by time, so it's essential to get to the goal as fast as possible.
- In Skill Games you have to ride in various extreme circumstances doing deadly stunts and tricks. For example riding inside a huge giant ball, hauling a cart filled with explosives or tumbling down stairs to break some bones. There's 12 different skill games present.
- 51 tracks total separated in 5 difficulty levels (beginner, easy, medium, hard, extreme).
- 8 tournaments: Tournament is a series of tracks played in a row, one after other. Your score is the time and faults of all tracks in the tournament added together.
- 8 different bikes: 5 trials racing bikes and 3 special skill game bikes. Beginner bikes are slower, but much easier to ride, while the advanced bikes require lots of skill to master.
- 12 challenging and fun achievements. Gamer picture rewards.
- As you pass the tracks, you unlock new difficulty levels, new bikes, new skill games, new tournaments and hidden bonus features.
- Each track has goal times and goal maximum faults. You are awarded with medals (bronze, silver, gold, platinum) as you pass the tracks and improve your scores.
- You can customize your bikes and your rider outlook in the garage. Other players watching your replays online see your customized rider/bike.
- Zero loading times (level and menu screen openings). All game content is loaded to the Xbox 360 memory at startup. No waiting required!
- Fast restart feature allows you to restart the track instantaneously with a single button press either to the track start or to the last checkpoint visited. Non-stop action!
- Checkpoint interval times show how much behind/ahead are you compared to your best run in the track.
- Local session track leaderboards allow party playing using multiple local (offline) profiles.
- Supports Xbox Live downloadable premium content. Content packs can include new tracks (racing & skill), new tournaments, new achievements and new level editor objects.

Online features:
- Each trials racing track, skill game track and tournament has it's own global online leaderboard.
- Total ranking leaderboard is combined by adding the scores of all the 55 separate leaderboards together.
- The best run of 5000 top players in each leaderboard has a downloadable replay. Replays show control input of the player, so others can learn by watching replays of the best.
- Nearest friends leaderboard and their global ranking shown in level selector menu. It's easy and fast to keep up with your online rivals.
- Friend scores system allows real time in-game comparison of your current run and all your friend's best runs.
- Friend scores in racing tracks: At top of the screen you see a meter showing how much behind or ahead you are compared to the currently closest friend's top score.
- Friend scores in skill games: Markers with friends' gamertags can be seen around the level showing the positions the friends have reached in the track on their best runs.
- All Trials HD online features are fully accessible with the free Xbox Live silver membership.

Physics features:
- Advanced physics engine allows very realistic 3d physics simulation and full physics interaction between game objects.
- Complex physics obstacles such as various vehicles, suspension bridges, elevators, explosion chains, huge structures falling down, etc.
- Objects break into pieces on intense pressure or impact.
- Over 100 different physics objects modeled to be as realistic as possible (weight contribution, friction setup, collision model and graphics outlook).
- Realistic, very painful looking bike and rider (ragdoll) crashes. Damage to all rider body parts is simulated (including broken bones and body joints).

Graphics engine features:
- Deferred renderer highly optimized for Xbox 360 architecture
- Locked always 60 fps (frames per second) tearless (vsynched) graphics output
- Floating point high dynamic range (HDR) rendering
- Real time per pixel phong lighting from all light sources
- All objects and scenery cast dynamic soft shadows
- Sophisticated 12 channel per pixel material system
- Parallax mapping on all surfaces
- Anisotropic filtering on all surfaces
- Tone mapping emulating eye iris adjustment to lighting conditions
- Post process filters: depth of field and overexposure light bloom
- Advanced GPU powered particle engine (up to 10k+ particles per frame)
- Particle per pixel lighting, dynamic shadows and proper depth ordering
- Sophisticated custom material and geometry compression algorithms allow uncompromized texture and object quality

Level editor:
- Fully featured level editor that offers you all the same tools, objects and physics features we have used in built in tracks.
- All the built in tracks have been done with exactly the same editor. You can create extremely complex levels if you like.
- Level editor has "simple mode" for beginners, making it easier for new players to start creating their own levels.
- Glue feature allows you to form complex physics objects by combining multiple simple objects.
- Editor has a good selection of physics constraints: axis, hinge, slider and point-to-point (hard and soft). You can for example build your own vehicles using these.
- You can place triggers around your level. Triggers can be used to activate object physics, to activate object animation or to break/explode objects.
- Camera control objects can be placed around the level to create nice cinematic camera angles.
- You have full control over sun light properties (time of day, angle, color, ambient, etc) and dust properties. There's also a good selection of light sources you can place around your level.
- You can set medal goal times and fault limits for your own track (bronze, silver, gold, platinum).

Level Sharing:
- Share your own tracks with your Xbox Live friends by using the online track sharing functionality.
- Just a single click and the track is shared. You do not need to wait for your friends to be online at the same time as you are.
- You can browse and download the tracks shared by all your friends whenever you want, even if your friends are not online.
- You can play the downloaded tracks and save them to your Xbox hard drive and your Xbox memory units.
- Level sharing is fully accessible with the free Xbox Live silver membership.

Sound and Music:
- Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound
- Sound dynamics adjusted by room size/shape (reverb) and object/camera motion (doppler)
- Physics engine triggered material to material collision sounds
- Voice overs by Brandon DiCamillo, Art Webb and Rake Yohn! (famous from TV shows such as Viva La Bam ja Jackass)

- Ejection seat: Ejection seat is attached to the bike in many skill game modes. Ejection seat boosts bail out power immensely.

Bikes:
- Turtle 80cc: Turtle is your first bike. It's really easy to handle, but like it's name tells you, it's not really fast.
- Reptile 125cc: Reptile is a good bike for learning the basics of the game. It's both faster and more responsive than Turtle.
- Scorpion 250cc: Scorpion has the best top speed, excellent shock absorbers, pretty powerful brakes and acceleration, but it's a bit heavy.
- Phoenix EVO 250cc: Ultra light weight pro Trials bike. Hydraulic brakes, super responsive and quick to accelerate, but it's top speed is slightly lower than Scorpion's.

- Hauler 600cc: This heavyweight bike is custom made for hauling big carts (filled with bombs!).
- Phoenix REV 250cc: A mad max style stunt bike. This bike is custom made for riding on top of giant iron balls. It's reverse gear is as powerful as it's forward gear.

People won't realize how good this game is until they play it. It's just that kind of game.

Then, after a few hours, they'll quit out of frustration. :p

Xbox Live's answer to PAIN, and let me say I am by no means disappointed. This became one of my top anticipated buys when I saw the latest trailer last week. I had no idea what it was. In some twisted way I can't help but remember Excite Bike.

That features list is pretty extensive; do companies usually release that much information?!

I'm really excited for the level editor. I had a great time making stuff in LBP and N+. If anyone here plans on making levels, feel free to add me on xbox live... I'm "powpowpowbam" on there. I have a few friends that will be making some really sweet levels as well so I should have some good ones to share in the next couple weeks :]

How is it gimped? You can download any levels from any of your friends, they don't even have to be online. And you don't even have to have Gold for it.

And I'm soooo looking forward to the level editor, it looks so amazing :D. I can't wait for tomorrow! :(

Only being able to share with friends and not random people sucks.
You should be uploaded to public server so people can browse and rate them.

Awesome level makers wont get to share there level designs with many people so there wont be much incentive for them to make levels.
