Exactly, an exaggerated version of the actual motorcycling discipline.
trials is supposed to be a super hard physics based motorcycle game
i havent really heard anything about rising cuz i havent given it any thought
Well, now you know that the BMX is sometimes the best vehicle you can have on the harder sections. 馃槀 It's funny but I hate it because I know that this is proof they failed at doing a good job.
Isn't there some terrain mountain bikes are good for that motor bikes aren't?
BMX trials exist in real life but they can't do the stuff the motorbike guys can.
Also, in the game, the BMX doesn't behave like it does in real life, it's basically a "superlight electric motorbike".
Oh that's right, this is trials stuff, you don't go through actual terrain.
The torque is perfectly smooth, it's a straight, no curve.
lol
No you've got it all wrong, that's just the gearing, SR-9009, Roids and other drugs.
And it weights so little you can do certain stuff a bit better. The only true weak points?
路 Top speed, this makes it rather useless for the easier stuff and some HARD/EXTREME sections.
路 The bounce after a hard landing is smaller than the one you get off the actual trials-like motorbike, which makes some obstacle harder to overcome.
The only true weak point is the top speed, the bounce is rarely a hardcore disadvantage.
They make up for it by giving the player character Testosterone, Meldonium, P7C3-S243 and SR-9009.
That's why he can generate so much torque so smoothly!
The game is a bit all over the place when it comes to creative direction. The game is set in the present-day and has a "realistic" presentation, the sections look like actual sporting events... except you have explosives, do-or-die jumps, movie-like moments and endings that would kill any rider.
lol
In the game before, Trials Fusion, all that was explained through a small plot that tied everything a bit. Your rider was not a "complete" human being but a clone and the AIs running the place were trying to create a utopia with the rider as the base. The sections in the game are "tests" to create a greater being.
One of the AIs literally tells you something like "stop using the RETRY button so often, you're depleting our reserves of biomass too quickly".
Some of the plastic/metal-looking "boxes" that you see by the side in some levels? They're coffins for the failed clones!
Clickbait thumbnail but it's a real thing
OMG, THE HYPE IS REAL!!!
I've earned a job interview to work in Ubisoft's Annecy studio, the one from STEEP. 馃槃
Nice
Ubisoft uses a 4-step hiring process:
路 Offer
路 Review
路 Interview
路 Final negotiation
I've completed 2, which are usually where 90% of possible employees are discarded.
I'm hyped because, even if I don't like the job and I only work for like 6-9 months, it'll still be really positive for me since it'll make me even more hireable for other studios.
What games does annecy make? @druiz
STEEP and, AFAIK, they're probably either making a sequel or another mountain sport-ish game.
It's Annecy, you got PLENTY of inspiration around it for mountain sports-based videogames.
35km south of Geneve in a straight line
Less than 25km in a straight from places like Le Grand Bornand and La Clusaz
The name of the region is HIGH Savoy for a reason, hehehe.
The peak of the Mont Blanc, highest mountain in not-Soviet Europe, is just 55km away in a straight line.
Weirdest job I ever did while working at BigMoon?
Translating a freaking press release because they trusted me more than the Portuguese guy that knew Spanish. 馃槀
I even had to translate the lame-ass self-promoting crap at the bottom of all/most press releases!
POLYPHONY HAS FUCKED IT UP
路 The list for the cars for the NEXT update has been released by accident. You can find the future cars using the search engine for photos and liveries included in the game.
THE CARS THEMSELVES:
路 Porsche 962C in its 1988 configuration
路 Red Bull X2014 "Competition" (the one the players of the finals have raced, national liveries included)
路 The roadlegal Hachiroku (AE86)
路 Renault R8 Gordini
路 2003 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro (the one from Gran Turismo 4)
路 2014 Honda FIT Hybrid
Okay, I actually laughed at **Fallout 2016 Election**. http://youtu.be/OpOkr0bTSwQ
