Trials Fusion MP Update with ANBA | Forums

[VEGASTRASH]

I'm all for a good change. I'm sure there will be a better point system, etc.
The game could use a progressive system for the XP points. They're utterly useless. No gear or anything.
I hope MP is great and something innovative is done, but seeing as I'm not the director there...it looks bleak.
I swear I could run things better at half the pay rate....and I'm not even that smart.

There are low cost, or free, options to help you realize your creative freedom in game development. One such tool is Game Maker Studio (which is free: https://www.yoyogames.com/studio ) and provides you the opportunity to not only learn game development, but to create your own game from the ground up, exactly as you like it.

If you feel you can design and build games, then I suggest you create some working prototypes and show people what you can do. The tools are available, man. You just have to decide to put in the time.

Shifty said information before the end of the year...not the release.

Was the jump to 8 lanes vs 4 honestly a big improvement and worth a 9 month wait?
I'm sure most would have been ok with the Evo port on MP for the release instead. 8 lanes and 1st lane view is good, but is a great breakthrough for MP? I'm sure there is more info, but I won't hold my breath on being wowed.

it is true to the engine multiplayer EVO in FUSION, the launch of the game was to be "very difficult", I think ... we are in science fiction, but "in reality" it's not funny ! lol!

I'm not talking about incompetence technicians and others involved in the game (because they are very knowledgeable and made the game evolve Next Gen, and it is beautiful),

I mean a dramatic errors snuff Leader:
we will do this and this; we will not here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here!

and this we give when there will be more players in this game!

Wait what???

It's not just a doubling of players on X1, PS4 and PC.

Does that mean 8 lane SX will not be available on 360 or is it just mistakenly omited from the sentence?

And relatively if it is not on 360, does that mean custom X-SX tracks will not be eligible for cross platform because they don't actually appear across all the platforms?

I'm guessing any good quality X-SX tracks will be in demand across platforms,
Are they destined to remain on the platform they were created on?

I would ask why the general public were told about the mp delay before die hard fans, (isn't that the community manager's job?) but I honestly don't care anymore.

We've been asking similar questions to this on this forum for years now S-Wallis regarding things like DLC release dates, Game release dates and lots of other bits..PewdiePie for example. Never really had a satisfactory answer till

Hello,

We can't communicate that first on the forum because if the information starts to do the news, it will decrease the impact (as when we announce it officially, it's timed with the launch date, some screenshots, etc...).

So, we'll have to wait the official announcement. We can just remind there is 3 content packs to come before April 2015.

En0 coming up trumps yet again.

Edit: Just to be fair, the CM's have been doing a much better job in recent months getting Stickies up on the forum as close as possible to the public info going out. In the past things were worse.

[S-Wallis]

Because there wasn't a delay. Possibly a poorly worded sentence about info coming before end of year, but that isn't a delay. So, no. Informing you of a non-existent delay would not be part of my job.

OK, then I apologise. I thought that I read that mp was coming before the end of the year in the original press release, and when En0 said this in response to someone asking if Evo like mp was coming

At least, not in the updates that are coming before the end of the year.

To me, that's a pretty firm "mp will be released before end of the year.

En0 also said that you want to release mp before the end of the year. Admittedly, that's not saying that it is coming before the end of the year, just that you want it to come before the end of the year.

But, I guess I'm wrong. So once again, I apologise for my outburst. I was just angry at being ignored for over a week, then when I thought that the general public were told something before die hard fans, it pushed me over the edge.

@S-Walliis - I can only assume it was a miscommunication, as we've not had a firm release date for MP yet. We put out DLC and update release dates when we are 99% sure it won't/can't change. This is also part of why some of the forum regulars get mad when we don't announce dates more than a week (or a few days) before releasing content. We aren't fans of missing release dates, to quote the ANBA "it's done when it is done".

@Ozy - that was not an accidental omission. Xbox 360 Online MP is 4 player, with Xbox One, PS4 and PC at 8 players. Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of impact that will have on cross platform XSX tracks. I'll try to get a discussion with Shogun and the peeps who do the cross platform conversions and see what the word is early this week.

@attilla - I have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe you should post the French version of your post under the English part and En0 might be able to translate.

@Joe - We now coordinate with multiple departments across multiple continents when announcing things. We strive to have info here at the same time as it goes out in press releases and other communication mediums, but sometimes there are delays in confirmation and we're a bit behind on the forum. It's usually no more than 15-30 minutes, but you guys are REALLY fast at finding and posting stuff, so a 15 minute delay (or a post formatting issue) means that a fan has seen and posted info before our official forum post goes up.

Thanks for the info Shifty

En0 also said that you want to release mp before the end of the year. Admittedly, that's not saying that it is coming before the end of the year, just that you want it to come before the end of the year.

Hi S-Wallis, and the others who pointed out what I said,

So, yes I said delayed, and probably somewhere else I spoke about the end of the year.
We don't give official dates before we're 99% sure we'll make it (so we announce the date 2 or 3 weeks before most of the time). So, as Shifty said, we didn't announce an official date, so we don't see it as a delay.

It's really hard to know "how much work remains"/"how much time we will need for it". We have some ideas about when we would like an update to go out. We have a high level roadmap that we change very regularly to adapt to what really happens and to do what's best for the players. So, closer we are of the date, more we are caught by "the reality" and understand we won't make it for the time we would have liked initially. We're driven by reaching a level of quality and not by reaching a date.

However, we want to bring more visibility and that's one of the reason why we have the beta (and as you can see, it doesn't work really reliably yet, but we'll update the beta and you'll see the progresses).

My apologies if my messages confused some of you.

Regards,

since the multiplayer will not be broadcast before or after Christmas: could you make additional tracks for the release of Mp, Honestly I think that if you distribute "as" it will soon be boring!
(10 tracks ... it is this, I think? ....)

I suggest you seek help with two three manufacturers lighthouse, for a limited time before the release of Mp (kid, monstified ... for example)

because in the state if there are 10 tracks, we have not finished yelling at the scandal, even if your multiplayer is better than EVO, it takes a minimum of 20 tracks, that we take full advantage of the multiplayer

I honestly think 20 tracks will avoid any anger at release
