my videos didnt come out too good but that is fine because jarr3tt88 has some quality videos coming...
this is what i saw, heard and did. everything i can remember. some is merely my opinion. this should in no way effect your opinion of the game.


the game:
1) seem to be plenty of material. theres like 10 areas (of differing scenery) where theres any number of tracks within. we saw 2 in one area, 6 in another so it varies.
2) theres a garage and cash earnings that you can spend on customizations...
3) theres some new skill games, one in particular is a metal ball (unlike the ones we already have) that you balance on a cradle above your bike for as much distance as possible.
4) jarr3tt88 discovered a hidden squirrel, which had a counter. he discovered 1/20
5) the physics feel different from THD. i was told that it feels like TS2 but i have never played it so i am merely stating what someone else told me. but i can say for a fact that it feels different, and the rider has less bailout power and cannot take a bump to the head at all. (not even an endo/stoppie)
6) some of the techniques are harder... switchjump and back tire land (the no bounce move) to name a few.
7) the rider seems to have different apparel for individuality, jackets, skeleton face masks. perhaps for the purpose of the $$$ earnings?
8 ) the beta had a few problems... flickering objects here and there, bikes tires hover 2 inches above ground, the replay glitch is still present, and the front tire disappeared into the ground once.
9) the curved driving lines are a nice touch. lots of possibilities for that but at first do feel a bit awkward. its more like the camera drops behind you a little bit as you make the curve. i cant really describe it.
10) we were told release was ... early next year.
11) there will NOT be any in game story or boss battles...
12) one major negative for me. i noticed that at some points on inclines/difficult parts only half my bike/rider could be seen above the bottom of the screen... like a poor custom cam if you know what i mean. (its only beta)



multiplayer:
1) really awesome. felt very unlike trials and much more excitebike in nature but very well done.
2a) it was a circuit of 5 or 6 tracks and it was based on a points system. 1st place got ten points, 2nd place got eight points etc. minus one point for every fault and or/ fall behind.
2b) it was local for us so whenever a rider fell behind the screen he would respawn as soon as the riders crossed next checkpoint, with the riders, but lose 1 point for a fault.
3) the riders can and will get in the way of the view of other riders at times but its dealable.
4) the fun factor is very high for the multiplayer mode.
5) the tracks we got to race on were only easy and beginner. and they only varied by day and night.



the editor:
we didnt get to see anything but there was a microsoft guy there ready with details (you the man Dan)
1) there will be in the upwards of 1500 objects.
2) there will be a complexity/limit bar
3) there will be a track share data base globally. (no more friends list management)
4) you will be able to save built obstacles as a unit to re-use in later tracks.
5) there will be water. supposedly you will be able to encase and area and 'fill' it with water.
6) you will also be able to 'trigger' the water to rise at will.
7) there will be color choices for some objects. not everything so dont expect pink pallettes. but i saw at least 3 of the same objects differently colored in the dev tracks so...
8 ) the custom cameras will have parameters for movement... from point A to point B and when to move.
9) you will choose a scenery to start with. no more warehouse blocks/removal.
10) he said, there will be a lot of tools with available parameters/customizing... no details.



thats all i can remember for now. if i remember more i will edit
