Staff Picks - March 27

Greetings Riders,
We're back with another collection of epic and crazy selections of level you can try out your very self in Track Central. Without further ado, let's jump right into this week's Staff Picks!
Shogun’s Picks
Gus has been providing us with great track suggestions week after week, both with his Track Central Top 5 videos and his contributions to the Community Picks Feed. This week however he’s got something different for us, his own sci-fi themed track pack! Gus’ Sci-Fi Track Pack includes 4 absolutely awe inspiring tracks, easy to extreme. The visual quality and level of detail in each track is top notch. Each one includes excellent intro and outro animations that really help to tell the story of the track. These tracks are incredible, and since the intensity with which I say that may not come through in written form I’ll repeat it, these tracks are incredible. I had a blast playing them on my Track Central stream last Wednesday and I highly suggest you run, not walk to your nearest console or PC to experience these tracks for yourself right now!

Track: Sci-Fi Nalavis Rosa
Creator: GUS_ARTMAN
Mode: Trials
Difficulty: Easy
Taking place in a space port on a vibrant alien world this is a fast flowy track with high speed and big jumps. It can be a little unforgiving if you lose the flow so make sure you time those jumps well to keep your momentum so you can clear some of the bigger gaps. The animations and use of particle effects in the intro and outro are also incredibly well done, as are the spaceship designs, making great use of Trials Fusion Fault One Zero object set.

Track: Sci-Fi Zodara Echo
Creator: GUS_ARTMAN
Mode: Trials
Difficulty: Medium
So you’ve departed from the Nalavis Rosa Space Port and have unfortunately find yourself crash landing on what appears to be a fairly hostile alien world, ripe with natural dangers and unexpected predators. Discover ruins of a long lost civilization as you make your way from the crash site to the finish line. This track features some very cool set pieces and scene transitions as you complete epic jumps and dodge and weave your way through a gauntlet of botanical beasts looking to swallow you whole. Will you make it off Zodara Echo alive? Find out for yourself.

Track: Sci-Fi District 504
Creator: GUS_ARTMAN
Mode: Trials
Difficulty: Hard
We move from the outskirts of the known universe to something a little more populated. District 504 takes you to an amazing cyberpunk cityscape. This track is visually stunning with an insane amount of detail throughout the incredible futuristic urban landscape. The level of life oozing from every crack of this city is something to behold and the uphill drive line is a lot of fun too. I could throw complimentary adjectives at this track all day and still not do it justice. You really should just go play it for yourself.

Track: Sci-Fi Atomic Road
Creator: GUS_ARTMAN
Mode: Trials
Difficulty: Extreme
It’s the end of the line, the last challenge on this amazing sci-fi adventure. This time you find yourself emerging from a doomsday bunker (some might call it a vault) and entering the post-apocalyptic landscape of a future Earth where things didn’t work out too well. Again, I can’t say enough about how awesome this track looks. The decal work to create the kind of rust and destruction you’d expect from a world long forgotten is just jaw dropping. Where does one go when the world has ended? Could be everywhere or nowhere at all. Discover where the Atomic Road will take you right now on Track Central!
Doc's Picks

Track: [KRO] Time Lapse
Creator: kronenb
Mode: Trials
Difficulty: Hard
Kronenb’s Time Lapse is quite the challenging hill climb to finish at first, throughout your climb you will encounter a whole bunch of technical obstacles. Power really isn’t your friend on level, delicate and smooth transitions are needed. However, as you make your way up towards the top of the hill, you get to see this spectacular sunset take place and it’s pretty darn awesome seeing it happen!

Track: N1L8E-Easter Egg Island
Creator: lionden13
Mode: Trials
Difficulty: Medium
N1L8 kick-off their Easter build-off with some festively decorate levels to play through! Lionden’s build however, features over 100 chickens! What more could I ask for in a level? But it’s understandable, chickens aren’t for everyone and amongst them, the adorable giant bunnies and colourful Easter Eggs lies a challenging drive-line and medal times to beat. I was surprise to see that I originally beat Shogun on the leaderboard…until he set another time beating me by 2 seconds *shakes fist*. Be sure to also keep an eye out for the N1L8E tag on Track Central for even more levels in the build-off!
That about wraps things up for this week, let us know what you think about these picks or share your favourites of the week in the thread below!
Until next time Riders, we'll see you leaderboards!
