    Uplay Recommended #26

    It’s time, once again, to show you the FIVE awesome community tracks that are being shoved out into the spotlight in this week’s Uplay Recommended update.Each week we select tracks built by YOU to make available on all platform that Trials Fusion is available on.
    That’s enough for this intro, let’s dive into the tracks!

    Below Zero by dUBZEE-
    What’s cooler than cold? This awesome Trials track with an awesome mix of fantasy and freezing cold atmosphere. The driving line houses some fairly difficult obstacles, but with a bit of perseverance I am sure all of you will breeze right on through. Be warned, that back wheel bounce isn’t as easy as our video makes it look.

    Can’t ride right now? Chill out and put eyes on this video.



    Plagued by ll ManOnFire ll
    Plagued has some grunge on it, and I dig the style. A fairly flowing track, the only thing I can think of to want is a supercross (or X-Supercross) version to play against my friends. Don’t think that it’s a total breeze, some of the replays make it look like a flawless run is simple. It’s really not.

    Speaking of replays, don’t miss this video of Plagued!



    Frost CONCEPT by S1LVA CONCEPT
    A wise man once said “Winter is Coming”, but he was wrong. It is already here! We aren’t typically enamored by tracks that feature a lot of loops, but the fact that you can skip them, and get a better time, based on technique makes Frost CONCEPT another great track to add to your collection.

    I already used my cold pun, so I’ll just say “Don’t miss the video”.



    Eliminated by Hero of Unggoy
    Life’s a beach! Too bad you can’t stay there (It’s more of a cove). Welcome to a technically difficult track. I really enjoy trying to go smoothly over obstacles a bit more than holding down the gas, and this track is all about knowing how to perform in some tough situations.

    Don’t get eliminated yet, check out the video first!



    Aquatic Hollow by ConfusedMuscles
    The Muscular one is back with another insanely good track. The blend of advanced technology and fantasy elements make for a pretty stunning backdrop to this challenging driving line. Try as I might, I still haven’t been able to complete a run with half of the time savers.

    Don’t miss out on the track, or the video!



    There you have it for this week, but we’re constantly on the lookout for new creations to add into the Uplay Recommended feed. Have a favorite that you don’t think has had enough exposure? Let us know below and you might just see your favorite making the jump to cross-platform insanity.

    I'm guessing Eliminated is not supposed to look like this:



    Videos are set to private by the way.

    edit: Took a quick look at the other tracks and Frost Concept and Plagued look like that too. The two remaining look fine. What's going on here?

    I had that same thing happened to me few weeks ago. Rebooting console fixed it.

    Thanks. That fixed it. Figured something was messed up on my end when I spotted a random broken object in the background of Below Zero, as that one is ps4 native.

    well done guy looking forward to playin

    I have deleted a few times lol as want to get repsonse correct maybe in not so many words this will do it

    I fuming with this game. im having difficulty with this track i am creating and i just about wondering shall i just stop building it and delete hours of work and then i see this. Whats the point in continuing to add to your game when you have to go back months to find a decent tracks.

    If top proffesionals see nothing in the tracks in tc at the moment that they need to go back 2 montsh then what the hell am i doing fooling me self. no problem sorted

    Totally understand what ya saying shifty , all tracks in tc are not good enough for other people to play so not point in wasting time adding to tc if your going to blind to the quality in there

    A good track is a good track regardless of when it was created. Every track has had effort put into it, and there are more tracks than we have time to highlight. Why would we NOT share a track that we enjoyed across multiple platforms just because it isn't a brand new release? People can and will still enjoy it. We also feature newer tracks, but we have a listing of tracks that we enjoy going all the way back to the first few weeks of Trials Fusion's launch.

    You seem to think that just because these tracks were built a bit longer ago than new tracks that there is no value in them and they should be skipped. We can and will include tracks that we think are good in any way, shape or form regardless of that track's release date on a single platform. It doesn't matter if it's a day old or a year old to us. A good track is a good track. We will also include tracks that we believe may not have had as much exposure as they should.

    Uplay Recommended is not about showcasing what came out today, this week, or this month, it is about showcasing great user created content.

    If you find it insulting to have a track you created included in Uplay Recommended last week, and not this week, well then that is something you might have to deal with on a personal level. There are thousands of great tracks across four platforms that will likely never be made cross-platform. If not being in the spotlight with every track that you make is an issue for you, then maybe you should decide if building tracks that you and others on the platform you play on is worth your time. Only you can answer that.

    But please understand my point of view in your comments (both versions that I saw); if it is insulting that another creator's hard work was included, something that they spent time creating, something that they are passionate and talented enough to create, because it's a few weeks old, then you may not understand the basic purpose of Uplay Recommended;

    Good Content.

    If you look at a track and say, "Yeah, that was pretty good", then all other arguments on it are moot as far as I am concerned. Here's a list of things I do not care about when we do these drops:

    1) Who created it?
    2) When was it made?
    3) What platform is it from?

    Here's what I do care about;

    1) Good content
    2) See 1

    The only week I can recall that you haven't had an issue with Uplay Recommended is the week you had a track featured., make of that what you will.

    Edit due to you editing your post:

    If top proffesionals see nothing in the tracks in tc at the moment that they need to go back then what the hell am i doing fooling me self. no problem sorted
    There is a list where we constantly add tracks that we like. There are tracks that came out this week that have been added to the list. There are tracks STILL on that list form April-May of 2014. Does that make them bad tracks? No. Tracks aren't milk, they don't go rancid after a few weeks.

    I am sick and tired of you undermining every Uplay drop, besides the one you got picked for. Seriously, how do you still not get it. It doesn't matter when a track was built. If it's a good track it should get picked. You honestly expect Redlynx to look through every single track and only put Uplay picks of the most current ones? And again, the point of uplay is not to get people building, it's to showcase tracks that redlynx feels people will enjoy, no matter who the creator is. Props to Shifty for putting up with you as it amazes me how many times they have tried to explain themselves to you, yet you continue to undermine their selections.
