Downloading now.
Well, the PS4 version was always going to launch today in NA, because that's when the NA store updates.

If someone with the game could tell us how many regular trials tracks there are that would be awesome.
As of right now I don't much care about the trick stuff, I just want dem trials.

I'm just saying, Ubisoft considers the release date as tomorrow which is why the emargo is tomorrow.
Anyone know if its hit Xbox One yet?

Man I forgot how frigging slow US PSN download speeds are for me. 60 minutes to download 5GB
Something wrong there mate. Took me less than 10 minutes.

Sorry to hear that
My PS4 download speeds have been incredibly fast since November, but perhaps they haven't updated the network everywhere yet.

Ok Wtf. Just started the beginner tracks and its taking over a minute to save after I finish each one.

I've tried loads of things to sort it out but yeah. UK PSN store downloads are 4x the speed

For someone who really only cared for Hard and Extreme tracks in HD and Evo, I'm curious to see how it compares.
It's probably having some trouble uploading your score to the leaderboard.
yeah there seems to be a real lack of immediacy in the PS4 version
saving after levels takes 10+ seconds for me, loading times take a while, etc
having said that, it plays tightly & looks super good. plus you can tell people are going to go nuts with the track editor.

Downloading now on PS4 . In remote play while typing this so this will be played on my Vita in the living room first.
Looks like the retail game isnt a discount.

Bought the standard edition and started the download. Now to just finish the work day :/.
But you don't have to wait for the bike visual to load before you select it. You can choose as soon as the menu appears.Also, regarding the loading times in the bike selection menu:
It's both really bad.
(recorded on PC)
Who cares about seeing your bike for the nth time before you play the level?
Nope. That version exists because that's what the retail version is and they want to keep it consistent. It's pretty awesome they split it up for digital. Other publishers probably wouldn't hesitant to only sell the 39.99 version. *cough*EA*cough*

Hmm, leaderboards are Uplay? How does that work? Do you have to log in to Uplay? Which of your account names shows up, PSN or Uplay? And do have have to be Uplay friends with people to make them show up as friends in the game, or does this all work with just your PSN account? I don't know why Ubisoft has to keep shoving Uplay down or throats, it just makes shit more complicated and annoying than it needs to be.
The game should handle server synching in the background, and let you keep playing while it's happening. Shouldn't exactly be impossible to implement.

This is really bumming me out... I hope it's not content-light because of the whole season pass DLC thing.

So any impressions? I am hearing some mixed things but nothing completely horrible but I am still on the fence.
Would actually be a decent use of Uplay to make it cross platform and one giant Uplay leaderboard setup.
Didnt EA do something similar with Origin and the N4S games?

Haven't spent considerable time on the first two Trials game since I primarily played on PS3 last gen, but I was wondering if Red Lynx curates user-created tracks pretty well? Theoretically, having user-created tracks could lead to a LOT of replayability, but naturally a lot of tracks will be poorly done, so it depends on if they curate them and sort them well.

Yeah, that would actually be a good use of Uplay. Now it seems like it's just there because "fuck you, we're Ubisoft", as usual. Hate that shit being shoved down our throats for no good reason.
Its perfectly fine for $20. I would wait on the season pass as we have to wait for it anyway. I've been having fun with it, and its something to play on the PS4.
For those asking for impressions, here are mine from a few pages back:
And yes, as others have said, the game does seem a little light on content, but I think that is also due to the fact that we might be thinking of Evo in it's current state, after like 3 DLC packs.

Yep, this is stupid that they can't have this up and ready or at least anticipate users.
Game loads fairly quick but I replaced the stock HDD on PS4 with a 7200rpm 1TB. Graphics are great and no slowdown at all. Outside of the stupid Uplay connection issues which happen upon booting up the game in the main menu every time.
Evolution had a great method of curating them, you could sort between best voted on weekly, monthly, by type by creator, difficulty and so on. Only problem was you couldn't search by what the player had named a track. I spent at least half of the time playing user created tracks in that game and many were amazing.

The saving issue reminds me of The last of us day 1 saving issues. It was related to Sonys servers so i guess it is uPlay bugging out.
I also have a worry about User created tracks. We just need to hope our fellow comrades on what ever platform can create some good ass tracks.

If I got the PS4 version and wanted to avoid long delays caused by server issues I could just play offline, right? This game doesn't secretly require "always online" somehow, does it?

Yeah you can play offline.

Good good.
Because it's easier and quicker to identify the bikes by their looks, especially when you just got the game. I'm not saying it's a big issues, it's just a thing that developers keep doing and it's starting to annoy me.
Leaderboards and Uplay are NOT the same thing. The leaderboards do use ubisofts servers, but not Uplay. Uplay is there for extra things like connectivity with trials frontier and unlocking some costumes.
