villarule123 Posted February 25, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2019 It's time! Hopefully I won't smash a controller up like I did on Fusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Played the demo at the weekend. Seems good but reviews suggest the new contract system is a grind. Any thoughts yet - early days I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just do the same track you've already done but do 3 backflips during it. Complete filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Thing is I really enjoy playing these games but not sure I'd be to happy about the grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 26, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2019 Gets a meh from me at the moment. Despite everyone moaning about a bunch of stuff in the closed beta it seems exactly the same. World map is crap. Random ghosts. **** that. I want to race against Jono and Stefan’s ghosts. Not Joe Bloggs from shitsville USA contracts are crap. **** loot crates. The gameplay is is as good as ever. But no private multiplayer yet!

Stevo985 Posted February 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2019 Despite my moan above I'll still play the absolute shit out of this. Just seems like a massive missed opportunity to improve on the previous game. It kind of seems exactly the same except new tracks and loot crates. Sigh.

dubbs Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 This is incredibly fun to play. Yes it's the same as Fusions but that's not a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Urgh I hate the world map. Just give me the tracks. Also I hate that I'm a perfectionist and have to do even the easy ones perfectly so I'm nowhere near even a medium yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still Trials so it's still brilliant. But there's a lot of little irritating things about this one. My biggest one at the moment is the ghosts being of random people. I don't give a ****! At least give me the option to have my friends as ghosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost makes the fact the ghosts are there pointless. Hopefully this'll be something which can be patched in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted February 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'd imagine they will add in friend's ghosts when the online part of the game is opened up more. There must be a way to turn it on already?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this'll be something which can be patched in. It does. I've already changed their opacity so they're completely transparent as they're totally pointless. The reddit community pretty much reflects our views. The gameplay is brilliant as always and the level designs are excellent. But the actual game has loads of really irritating things. Some big issues like some of the contracts are beat a random ghost. But it really is random. People are being matched up against world record holders and they can't progress the game until they beat them! Also lots of frustration about being forced to reply old tracks to do contracts, but this time you have to do a backflip or something equally as tedious. And you can't progress the game until you do it. It's all the things people were complaining about after the closed Beta to be fair, but doesn't look like they've changed anything Edited February 28, 2019 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: actually, maybe there is, but it's a little convoluted. Apparently you can go onto the leaderboard, select a friend's time and select the option to race against this ghost. Not perfect but better than nothing. I just don't know why they changed it from how it worked on Fusion. That was perfect, even though it wasn't actual ghosts and just markers.

I'm sure it was a ghost of all your friends that had a quicker time but I might be wrong. Whatever it was, they should go back to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like a little helmet symbol with their name on it but it did the same thing. There was one for each of all your friends' fastest times. It was ideal.

Stevo985 Posted February 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2019 Other complaints on reddit that the multiplayer is the same as Fusion. All easy tracks. barely ever get a medium or hard in there, and when you do everyone just chooses Easy anyway. Means it's just an exercise in who can do easy tracks the fastest. When you know on a hard track you'd destroy everyone. I'm so happy we've got a new Trials game. But I'm super disappointed they didn't do more with it.

LakotaDakota Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Despite loving the series i haven't bothered with this, Partially due to a huge backlog of stuff i'll probably never get round to playing but mainly because of the map/progession i hated in the beta. Might grab it at some point but it was more annoying than enjoyable which puts it towards the bottom of a pile of stuff to try and get through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted February 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Looking at the Trials Reddit page it's almost certain that they'll sort out the problems everyone has the game. IIRC Fusion didn't have multiplayer at all when it was released. Edit: 9 months after launch! Edited February 28, 2019 by villarule123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
