    Uplay Recommended Track Drop #17

    One of the best parts of my week is being able to bring you the newest Uplay Recommended tracks. This is where we pull 5 tracks from the amazingly talented pool of community creativity from at-home Trials builders (say it 5 times fast) and make them available to players on any platform that Trials Fusion is available on.

    This week in no different, so let’s cut the chatter and jump into what we’ve got going live today;


    Down in the Dumps by ll ManOnFire ll



    The track name would have you believe that ManOnFire’s latest track takes place in a dump. There’s a good reason for this, though. It IS a dump, albeit a very well-crafted dump with a nice speed-run line. Down in the Dumps looks really organic, there’s no sense of “I needed a ramp, so here it is”. Everything looks like it was randomly found while taking a quiet ride across town. In case you can’t tell; I’m a fan of this track, and you might be as well.


    The Dome by FG-312



    Speed Runners Rejoice! I always love it when we find something by a builder I might not have heard of and The Dome is a great example of why. Maybe you can complete it while just mashing the accelerator, but you won’t get the best time by doing so. This beach is all about driving fast and smooth. 10/10 would Dome again.


    Deep sleep by RaketeAal397



    Rock-a-by rider in the tree tops. When the pipe breaks, the throttle gets locked. Holy crap. Deep sleep is awesome, yet terrifying (to me) in the way it goes from realistic to “I JUST LOST MY MIND” in about 15 seconds. Rakete is doing some serious mind bending in this one, so I’m not going to spoil it. Watch our vid if you want. I recommend playing this one first.


    HaBicAl by commendo030



    This is straight out of a camera lens science facility (if you follow) and that’s fine with me. Things are a bit run down, but the line isn’t. If nothing else, you will be forced to learn bunny hops. It might be easy to miss some of the little touches, but commendo made a super clean track in HaBicAl.


    Future Development by dj2witchy



    Ok now, this is just getting out of hand. First katamari and now this? Maybe next week we’ll put a RoguishRonin track in Featured. Why not?! Right? It’s like the guys working for the studio as level designers just assume that they can build tracks. To be fair; Future Development is a great track and should be given a chance by all riders.


    And there you have it. 5 sweet new tracks… well, 4 plus that one by DJ (kidding, DJ!) are now live on Track Central in the Uplay Recommended feed for all platforms. Give them a shot and let us know what tracks YOU enjoy. You never know, they just might be in the feed next week.

    Until then, ride on.

    Very nice tracks again, my favorite is "The Dome", maybe because the creator is french :P
    I'm just a little bit disapointed with the recommended track of DJ, not because the track is bad or whatever, but because he uploaded his track ~ one week ago ...

    I'm pretty sure there is more very nice tracks uploaded before his track


    edit: i didn't play < deep sleep > ... < deep sleep > is my favorite!! many little details on this track!

    Good tracks. I personally like it when some of the trials dev's get picks, especially when they take the time to make a track for the community when they don't need to whatsoever. Good work guys.

    Moi,

    I'm not really sure how what time a track has been uploaded has suddenly become an issue, I do just want to say that If I did get recommended, it does give people an opportunity to point it out because of my title being a level designer ( I understand that before it gets pointed out :P) but I did not make this track expecting it would . I did spend a lot of time on the track which was fully streamed, My intentions from the stream was to show how much can be done in how to make a track, optimizations, difficulty settings, lighting, timesavers.Everything I did is exactly the same as how every other buider does it, so no difference.

    Well done to the other tracks recommended, Look forward to seeing more awesome tracks in the future as always.

    Jeruhuq- there is no privileges for anyone. Good tracks get picked.

    Slim - good to hear

    I played your track Twitch when you released it. It was somehow halfway down the feed. Without seeing you created it I said, "there's an underrated track." The like dislike rating system can be rough. I think the star system was a more true rating system.
    Deep sleep had some great concepts and decor. Halfway through I found it to play pretty rough though. I would have enjoyed playing just the initial theme. The chopper was a nice touch and the character sleeping at the end was something I don't think I've seen before. Great job on the decor and concept for sure.
    Commendo's track speed line held the most replay value for me. Very smooth challenging line with great decor.

    No more Izez picks? I wonder if he's making tracks regularly. Attila as well. MPCs and Moparardads last efforts were most impressive. The picks have gotten stronger. No wonder why I'm not in there

    @DJ I just remember an answer (i don't remember who) who said something like : We have many tracks to put in cross platform but we can't put them at the same time so be patient, they will come.

    This is why i think it's a little bit funny to see your track in the uplay recommended "quickly", because you didn't upload your track a long time ago. For me developers shouldn't take spots instead of non Developers.

    Except if there is a "RedLynx creations" feed as Trials Evolution, i fully agree to put them directly cross platform (as i said here with my pictures).

    But i don't have the power, so do what you want. I just give my opinion.
