    Uplay Recommended #25

    It’s Thanksgiving in the states, so let me express my gratitude for all of the amazing builders who are keeping Track Central going. Regardless of whether you are new or a long-time builder, thank you, from RedLynx and Ubisoft, for the amazing tracks and skill games, and sometimes insane THINGS that you create.

    Now that the mushy stuff is over, let’s dive into the 5 selections we have for this week’s UGC drop!



    MBS.NEPHALIN by murderbysound

    Ok, NEPHALIN scares me. You start in a tranquil area with some flowing water and easy-does-it flowing line, and then… It all goes downhill in fever dream nightmare of red-hued fog of fire and explosions, though the flow stays there. This track is a speed-runner’s dream.

    Don’t take my word for it! Check out the video!



    Lambent Luola by Rishaan

    Have you ever felt like diving face-first into a big puddle of toxic waste? Me too! It’s almost too bad that the point of this track is to get to the end quickly, as I am digging the theme Rishaan has. Don’t let the replay by Dean ramsay fool you, this track isn’t as easy as front flipping to the finish.

    Speaking of, don’t miss Dean’s video!



    Nothing to Declare by funktastic-

    Nothing to Declare starts out like a fairly standard TC entry, but wait… the outdoor reveal is really well done. Multiple routes? Check. Smooth animations? Check. Cohesive theme? Check. The funk has a really nice track with Nothing to Declare. I’m not going to spoil the ending, but it’s pretty darned awesome.

    Get the funk out and check out the video by the man himself.



    Trespass by mas-uk

    Pedals of power! Let’s get this out of the way; I like the play on Ninja tracks with the “Rear Tire” section. I laughed. I am impressed by the way people are making these run-down decorations using the futuristic bits of Fusion. Trespass has a nice clean line (except the aforementioned section) and it’s just a fun track.

    Kudos to BrunoFrakass for the video!



    Nature Walk by Kush Land 604

    Time to become one with nature before a face-plant into a plant actually makes you one with nature. Nature walk’s line reminds me of Rise and Fall from Trials HD and that’s not a bad thing. Check out the awesome detail work and the wooden bridges and I think you’ll see why Mr. Land has a selection this week.

    Check out the video by our beloved Badger.

    And that’s all we have for this week. Make sure to check back each Thursday as we unveil the latest batch of User content to make the transition to Uplay Recommended. Have a favorite track? Let us know about it on the forums, it might just be the push it needs to make it into the feeds.

    To be honest i am stuck for words i never really expected to ever get a recommended being that i am so vocal and sometimes come across badly. This is why i really want to thank shogun and shifty for being fare and also understanding to some points i have raised and not letting this effect track building judgement. As it happens this does mean a whole lot to me and i really do appreciate my track being recomended , as much as i love building tracks , to be appreciated for the efforts given to tc and having a track crossed on its merit is a tremendous feeling when you are very commited to one game. Sometimes the points get lost in translation and passion can obscure views and loose the main goal of being here and thats to have fun. Thank you for being decent

    I have played some of the other but not all as i got interupted but what i have played were good tracks , got to try and be a little more patient with the extreme one cant get passed the hard bit at the begining the check point send you back a little to far for my liking but it looks a nice track if i had more skill. Also if i could have seen my track being cross platformed i would have stuck the fix i was going to up lol , because there is a few mistakes in the animations i don't like but didn't want to put a fix up because it can split the total and you don't get a far comparison to work on.

    Again a sincere thank you and im not creeping people i just want them to know that it is appreciated after my continued ranting over this subject and should be noted of of their decency as i note when they are not.

    hope you enjoy the track peeps , feedback is welcomed i dont bite

    This is what I've been trying to tell you for a while now, we judge tracks on the tracks, not who built them. Yours was a fun track, in my opinion your best drive line to date and it played off your strength as a builder which is custom architecture. Maybe we've been butting heads recently but it doesn't change that I think this is a fun, well made track that many players will enjoy.

    shogun , my intentions have always been good though and sincere but agreed im alittle stubborn to believe what some others say and set in my ways, my misses tell me that too often. Have a good thanks giving dude.

    hi rude hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think whatever it is , it will help towards my future builds.
