    Uplay Recommended Track Drop #42

    Oh boy, do we have a lot to go through today. I *think* we’ll have these out at the regular time, but we do have the CRAZY long Trials Fusion Anniversary stream happening, so please don’t be disappointed if we are a day late or early.

    Let’s get started because there are a ton of tracks in this special drop.

    COMPLEX Concept by S1LVA CONCEPT
    Driving line massaging handled PERFECTLY. Not the hardest track, not the flowiest (yeah, I don’t know) track, but it is fun and has some insane amounts of time put into the decoration and animation. I will say “Roach”, but you don’t ever need to take my advice.

    Check out the video, but go and play it for yourself.



    XPL Beelzeboss by ll Xzample ll
    Now here is a track with flow if you can get it. Xzample knows a thing or two about riding, and it translates into this track really well. It almost feels too short, but at nearly a minute long that’s just a testament to how well it’s been done. Theme? Well, I’m gonna say it’s hell. Not like the theme work is hell, but that hell is where your rider is finding himself.

    Just watch the video and then play Beelzeboss.



    Swamp Sightings by SwampBalls
    Some people will dislike the camera. Some people will dislike the nearly overpowering abundance of flow. I am not one of those people. Swamp Sightings takes something that players find nearly sacred (the camera position) and does something different with it that isn’t “jarring“ or “broken”. The theme is spot on for a swamp, and I played more than a few times.

    We’ve got surveillance of the swamp during the sightings, or you can do some personal recon.



    Train Station [FG] by FG-312
    Ok, if there is one thing I’ve learned over the last few years, it’s that if I lived in the Trials universe I would NEVER go to a train station, and Train Station by FG just proves that point. Explosions, lava, deadly drop offs into lava with no safety rails, trains flying through the station at a hundred miles per hour… Nope… But it makes for a GREAT Trials track.

    We have the Trains video, but I suggest taking a trip to the station on Track Central.



    Wild Adventure by CENTRAL ADDICTS
    This is a rain forest done right, nice flowing lines, nice sense of driving line, good ambiance… Those may all sound like the same things, but they aren’t. There is a LOT going on in the background here. I have one small critique, and that’s the sound effects being a touch on the loud side, but really, this is a track not to be missed.

    Grab your hat, Indy. Let’s go on an adventure… or watch it on YouTube.



    Meson by llmaynell
    Meson feels like we’re back in the HD warehouse, and that’s not a bad thing. A tricky technical track with about a million things to notice, and that’s BEFORE you jump the fence into the second half. Newer riders might have a tough time at getting a 0 fault run, but the practice you get from trying is more than worth is.

    Check out Meson in video, but give it the playtime it deserves.



    Zalem by ll KATIN ll
    This track feels like it’s made from all Five Elements, if you catch my drift. A futuristic city where we get to laugh in the face of certain death and hundred foot falls. Another technical track, but a bit on the easier side, and Zalem is just plain FUN to play. There’s grit in the future, and KATIN shows us his vision in the details.

    Here is our video, and don’t miss Zalem on Track Central.



    Patience and Time by Carmine Evolv3d
    Someone put a whole lot of old machinery in the forest. We should ride on it. Carmine has some technical building power that becomes flowier as you nail the line. The forest has trees, and the nature looks… well, it looks natural. Think you can beat our times?

    Play the track for yourself, but first, here’s our video.



    Aftermath by Turbog0
    I’m saying that there was a massive earthquake right before we start riding, and the decoration seems to agree with me. There are buildings that must have seen better days, and some vehicles smoking in the background. This one isn’t so easy for me to put into a box. Is it techy, is it flowy… Let’s just all agree that it’s absolutely worth your time to play.

    As always, we recorded a video, but I implore you to play it on Track Central.



    Old Rock by VEGASTRASH01
    I like how the trash man basically says “oh, the sun’s in your eyes? TOO BAD!” in Old Rock. We don’t usually see this difficulty from Vegas, which is a shame because he pretty much nailed it. The terrain mods are great, the background is great, the details are great, the sun is a jerk, but it works with the track.

    Videos make the line seem super smooth, but expect to put in some practice.



    There we have it 10, TEN!!!!, new Uplay Recommended tracks to play. I’m not going to be able to write some big outro paragraph this week, because we’ve got LOTS to do… Like playing all of these tracks and all of the Trials games on the stream.



    Until next week, riders!

    Nice looking tracks!

    P.S. Shifty, all those videos are set to private at the moment and can't be seen.

    Really nice drop. I would say that my favorites are Old Rock, Swamp Sighting, and Wild Adventure.

    Most likely. It isn't fair that the 360 was holding back tracks from being picked to go cross plat. Now it seems they are picking any tracks, and are crossing them all on next gen platforms and giving the 360 the ones it can handle.

    They should have thought about that before releasing the game on the 360 but oh well I'll just leave it at that

    Sorry about losing it a bit awesome tracks as always I'm not even that bothers about missing a few customs here and there we never get the Xsupercross on 360 but I never complained about that. I am just a little annoyed about not being able to play the second new tournament and took it out in here and I apologize.

    good to see vagas and swamp up there nice one guys


    Just a quick question ? is fg really you or maybe some friend or family ?

    As for seeing again the same fav builder getting recommended with again a lesser rated track. I guess 1800 who liked my track were wrong then shifty , guess 1800 people didnt really enjoy the track and the same amount on other platforms wouldnt either. Its rediculous to keep recommending the same builder on ps4 when there is other tracks that constantly rate higher all the while , including my own. Having a fav builder auto get recommended before thier tracks even come out is awful to everyother builder in tc and before i continue because i cant be bothered with thi , one more thing tho .

    How can you justify recommending almost everyone of fgs tracks he puts in tc?. When there is other that by your own rating system in track central telling you on a constant bases that there is other tracks that other tcs would also enjoy. I dont understand your over endulgment to this creator one little bit and doing as you do is disrespectful to my self and other builders who continure to regulary build for your game with also decent quality tracks. You have stated to me many of time that the system is fair and works so that in its self shows you that your choice of selecting fg every track is unfair and other tracks with more likes or higher rated should be considered. Because after all by ur own admission track central works and tc rates other tracks better quality sometimes other than fgs. Its annoying to know that as soon as his track pops up in tc , your track has no chance of being recommended and that even before u play it. Im fed up with you just wiping any creation of mine under the carpet for the same builders , never mind how well they do or how much fun they are. Yes the recommended is a choice you do for the game but its a choice everyone should be equally open too but giving an auto slot to one creator is just wrong

    One thousand eight hundred people told you that a track i created was fun and enjoyable how can u then even try to dissagree with one thousand eight hundred people over another fg track. whatever

    ( nothing is aimed towards fg , i like his tracks and think they are of great quality , but dont think everyone hes creates shoudl be recommended over mine and others )

    I really enjoyed this weeks drop, cheers for the picks,

    Funk, honestly man, do you never tire of moaning
    From my point of view, I enjoy a lot of these tracks, some not so much, but glad to get them all, as it's not something anyone is obliged to provide us with!
    I get to enjoy tracks from the platform you play on as I don't have other means to access them, and all other platforms, big win for me!
    But you are determined (with your entitled opinion) to drag it all down every single time dude,

    It is RLs game, if they think a certain track should be in their feeds (for whatever reasons) it is not anyone's business to argue!

    Why don't you just go nominate some of the tracks you reckon should be on the list (I've yet to see you do so) and help sway some of the decisions that irritate you so much.

    But I really want to say (with my entitled opinion) I for one do not appreciate your constant blah
