My thoughts and experiences | Forums

Currently unable to progress further because I can't complete the contract for On The Edge as it's bugged (keeps auto-failing at the same spot). So thought I'd share my thoughts and experiences with the beta so far

- all bikes feel very light to me. There is little to no indication of impact when landing after a jump, even at high speed. I've had a handful of landings with both the Rhino and the Mantis where I did notice an indication of impact, though they were rare and seemed random

- the Rhino feels a bit overresponsive to going full gas from a neutral, standing still position. Flips over fast, like the Pit Viper from Fusion does, whilst the Rhino is meant to be Rising's version of the Roach

- the onscreen popups when you crash or bailout are unnecessary imo, and I can see myself getting slightly annoyed with them over time

- the bar showing your progress towards the various medals when you finish is absolutely great. Quick and easy to see how close/far you are from the next medal to achieve

- not a fan of the Platinum medal design. I do feel that the Platinum medal without dots for eyes looks better than the Plat medal with dots for eyes

- really like the length of the first four tracks

- I found the settings to change the opacity and opacity distance for ghosts, but PLEASE let me turn them completely off/on when I wish. I don't want ghosts riding along with me every time I play a track (scratch this one, figured out I could simply set the ghosts opacity to 0

- at first glance, I like the system of earning Trials coins (or whatever the currency with the gear icon was called), and spending them on poses, animations and gear crates. Just curious if this currency is infinitely obtainable?

- the current gear crate opening animation is quite boring imo. Maybe have the crate drop on a bunch of explosives? Would be much more fun to watch imo, and fits Trials perfectly

- music is on point. Great job

- Noticed I'm still listed as a UK player on the leaderboards due to my console's region settings. Please let me pick my country manually

- the detailed Player Profile could list some more stats, such as game starts, track starts, crashes, bailouts etc. Fusion had some really fun ones to check every now and then. Though the stats currently tracked are really cool as well

Me and my partner have the same issue as can’t progress through the story mode as can’t complete the contract. My partners game has been sorted but mine is still the same so can’t progress any further. Hoping it gets sorted soon as would like to test more of the beta out

Managed to progress further yesterday after deleting all my save files a couple of times. I have now played every track in the beta, and wanted to share some more thoughts;

- pleasantly surprised how much of a challenge it was for me to get the Platinum medals on the Easy and Medium tracks. I got them pretty easily in Fusion, but it took me a nice bit of grinding with the tracks in the beta (currently sitting at 15 Plats, haven't gotten the Hard or Extreme ones yet)

- navigating the world map feels a bit slow at times, especially compared to navigating the various Events from Fusion. Though this might be something I just have to get used to

- in my first post I mentioned the bar showing your progress towards the next medal when you finish the track, and what a great addition it is. I only recently noticed it doesn't actually tell you what time you need exactly to achieve the next medal, and I definitely think it should
