hey guys,

new to the forum as you probs already know. i'd just like to say congrats on a masterpiece i'm truly addicted, played the pc demo a few years back but never got round to getting the full version. Bought it on day of release for XBLA and have not played anything else since.

in the main menu there's an option for downloadable content i guess there are plans; questions for ya

what and when?????????(i'm obviously hoping for new tracks and perhaps new items for the track editor)

thanks again for the best game ever lol

The game supports new tracks, new tournaments and new editor objects in DLC packs. And all XBLA games can add also 3 new achievements in their DLC packs.

Put simply, this game is awesome! I think you guys are finally getting the attention and praise you deserved since the first trials game. But seeing as this is a review thread I'll mention some of my pros and cons.

Pros
-Great graphics (smooth with good lighting)
-Much improved physics (rider seems to have more weight this time)
-Terribly addictive!
-10/10 replay value (skill games, editor, achievements)

Cons
-No rewind button for replays
-No grunting/bone crunching sounds when rider crashes
-Track sharing only with friends? (disappointing but I'm sure this is a microsoft legality issue)

Looking forward to playing some more today, thank God I'm not working.

I really agree with the bone sounds and the no rewind in replay is also kind of an issue but other than that I dont think i've had this much fun with a game since I discovered bailout in GTA4.


I love the feel of the game and how smooth it feels

Overall its a 9/10

Having played Trials SE since last winter, with a pretty decent ranking, I wasn't looking forward to this new version, I figured you can't beat TSE.

I borrowed a friends Xbox after he bought the game, played for a couple hours.
Actually completed all the tracks, lot of faults of course!

It looked and felt somewhat cheesy, I was disappointed and went back to Trials SE.

2-3 weeks later, my buddy offers to lend me his Xbox, so I can really try it out.

So I play offline for about 2 weeks, get lot of medals, but it never remembers my score.
Decide to bring it to work and try online playing, I started to get hooked!

Long story short.... Went out and bought an XBox just for Trials HD.

It may not be anywhere near as hard as TSE, but it's loads of fun, all in all, a Really cool game!

The game supports new tracks, new tournaments and new editor objects in DLC packs. And all XBLA games can add also 3 new achievements in their DLC packs.

Is there a limit (not production wise, as that's obvious, but) "Xbox live-wise" for the amount of dlc packs you can do, and the size of them?

I mean, does microsoft have any specific limits to how many dlc packs you can make and publish, and what's the limit for how much you can put in some dlc pack, and the "physical" size of it (bytes).

Well, I think three is the base because World at War and Fallout 3 both have at least three DLC packs. Size-wise I'd figure 500MB to a 1GB? The World at War map packs are usually at least 200-400MB.

[rlmergeuser]

yeah I think 3 is the number. even the Maw had just 3. Who knows, MS might charge devs more for wanting to release over 3 dlc?

[rlmergeuser]

Ace Combat 6 has about 40 planes you can download, each must be around 10-20MB at least... if the DLC size is small enough I don't think they care how many you make.
