Trials Evolution |OT| ROCK'N'ROLL TRIALS STYLE BABY
- Thread starter whitehawk
- Start date
Finally, FINALLY, got the Platinum for Ridge Tracers, beat the required time by about 0:00.07 I think from memory. God I couldn't believe how tricky it is to perfect that last ramp. I could nail all the other checkpoints along the way and be ahead of my nearest rival by around 3/4s of a second, but that last jump would end up making me about 7/10ths slower then my best time.
Glad I can say goodbye to that. Now to try and Plat something else in another tier.
Finally cleared a few spots on my friends list too so may add a couple of you guys. =)

YES! Finished all extreme tracks. Now I never have to play them again. Woohoo!
I had that problem on Fri/Sat, kept saying I was on Strict settings. All I did was go back to the Network Settings, make sure my IP was assigned as per settings in my router (Which it was) and then Test Xbox Live Connection. That is all I did, I changed nothing and now when I go to search for Trials games it says my Nat is Open.

Yes, you only miss out on the XBL multiplayer which isn't that great. The best stuff, like leaderboards, it's all there.
Wow, thanks for doing the video, and for the feedback. Working on a track, you spend so much time riding it yourself that at the end you wonder 'is there anything really frustrating here?' and it's really hard to tell.
I can tell making a full themed environment, done well, will take a good amount of time -- just getting the local track elements in this one looking nice and tidy took....forever! But it's a fun time.
look at all the folks completing and shaving faults off of extreme tracks today. it warms my heart.
congrats everyone! keep riding.
i took care of that for you this morning.
nice. those beginner and easy tracks are technical to platinum for sure. you have to be pretty much perfect on a lot of them and very smooth. congrats.

Ha! You noticed? I improved the Sin City track a lot today.
And just got Inferno 3 with 440 faults, and about 25 minutes. I was stuck on the tires for awhile, and would have lost it if I had hit the fault/time limit so close to the finish!
nice.
i shaved a few faults off The Wreck myself this morning. down to like 72 or something... lol
i swear if it wasnt for the box on the plank i couldve been somehwere around 15 faults. fucking box!
heh. me? i dont know your GT do i? are you on my list? (are you joking or do i look dumb now?) i was talking about the whole last page of people talking about extreme tracks.
i mean: YEP! i noticed. nice work.

Wow these were my final two tracks too and I had about the same times and faults.

lol, that has to be violating some kind of trademark.
Trials is just the word used for a style of biking. (basically riding over tricky obstacles).
Here's a video of real life trials: http://youtu.be/ShbC5yVqOdI?t=1m19s
Redlynx doesn't own 'trials'.
Sure it is, but that's blatantly the same game. When Gameloft does this everyone is up in arms.

If they have trademarked the word Trials for video games then it doesn't matter if it's a common use word. Trademarks are all about protecting a brand from imitation. A copycat could make a trials game, and say it's a trials genre of game but if they have a trademark they couldn't use the Trials phrasing in the title.
Website hasn't been updated since last August, so at this point it seems like it's just another piece of Vita vaporware to throw on the pile but if it does look like it's getting released I guess we'll find out if they have a trademark or not.
Bought this game the other day after downloading the demo, pretty cool and will keep me busy for quite some time. I've gotten gold on most tracks I've played so far, but I only have my B class license so I'm sure it will get harder and harder. I've watched ghost runs online, but damn some of these guys at the top of the leaderboards are insane. No way I'll be getting times like that, pretty cool game for $15.
All platinums through hard complete! Bring on Extreme!
Also, I thought it was cool that I happened to do that after playing for 24 hours to the minute. (granted more than ten of those were spent in the editor)
Come at my times Whitehawk and Jimbo.

To be fair you both are smoking me on a bunch
You are probably way ahead of me on the global leaderboards. I like to focus on a few tracks at a time. For example I'm still trying to beat my time on RollerCoaster. I know a few parts where I can speed up my time (Especially at the first ramp if you do a backflip or hook your back tire) but it's hard.
Yeah, doing the roll out backflip is tough to do even 1 out of 20 times, where you goose the throttle and your rear wheel leaves the ramp before the rest of your bike while you flip out. This keeps that low trajectory and maintains speed. Everytime I pull one (by accident even) I hope to set a new record so the replay is saved. Definitely hard.
I hear you on focusing on tracks, but man, still on Roller Coaster? Your replay is awesome. I got hooked on Home Run for a whole day trying to beat a buddies time. There are some great tracks in this game. I am not looking forward to platinuming Expert though. I think I will take a break and actually finish my creation in the editor before tackling those beasts.
Cheers mate.
Lol at the graphics. At least make it look competitive.

I love being #1 on a track knowing that people are learning from my replays. Once that glitched guy gets removed, I'll be number one, and I want to keep that spot.
So I just improved my time by 0.036 second haha. Didn't even use the flip technique however, so I can still improve it
I love those types of tracks with long winding ramps though. I'm ranked #2 for a similar track in Trials HD (Mystical Journey).its one of the most boring tracks in the game though.
its one of the most boring tracks in the game though.
Yeah, I don't really care for tracks like Rollercoaster. I think the Hard tracks offer a nice combination of speed and technique, for me at least. Still need platinums on Inferno 3 and The Way of the Ninja.

Here's your track of the week
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8SrEORjLBc
But in all honestly, can you put this in the OP whitehawk? It's my second map called Trials Raider!
Everybody take a look ^_^.

Hey, I'm on the list at the end! Gonna have to go at that again. Them fucking planks, MMarsu *shakes fist*.
How does multiplayer work? Several races now the points allocated seem odd. Is it just 10/9/8/7 for finishing first/second etc, then minus one point per fault?
A few times my son has had a DNF in the middle of the track for no clear reason - why is that?
Also, can someone give me any tips on technique for Elevation? It feels like you should be able to clear the second little ramp by jumping from the first, and get a good downhill run to cross the water (and top replays show that too). But I can't pull it off. I've tried doing a left/right flick but it doesn't seem to give me the distance needed.

You have a certain amount left to finish after the first person crosses the line
In Supercross, yes. In Trials, the deduction of points seems a little different (not strictly one point pr fault).
There may be deductions for time as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Anyone knows the complete rules?
He was DNFing while we were all still racing, nobody had finished yet
There's a War of the Worlds one, but it's not as flashy. I still liked it. Check it out by neo zanp.
I honestly think the editor is so fantastically intuitive outside of the camera, which there's no real good solution for TBH. Maybe if it was Forge-like, but even still I feel the compromises are justified.
