    Uplay Recommended Drop #27

    We’ve got a triple threat of Featured Builder tracks this week. These creations were too good to NOT let everyone play. Now I can continue to write all kinds of nonsense about how this is nearly the 30th time we’ve had a Uplay Recommended drop, or I can just get into the new tracks….

    TAVERNIER by commendo030
    Commendo030 is back with a very well done residential ruin track. I think it’s residential, it might be an abandoned prison (based on the broken bars on the windows) while the exact theme might not be clear, what is clear is that this track has a more demanding driving line than you would expect. Judging throttle and speed to make sure you don’t over-jump the landing and lose valuable time.

    Check out Dean ramsay’s video showing you how it’s done.



    Cristal cave by FG-312
    Another of our Featured Builders who we feel has made something that everyone can enjoy; FG welcomes you to the Cristal cave. Be prepared for things to break in your first run, and don’t be angry if one of those things is your face as this track has some great -yet understated- physics and effects use.

    Put eyes on this video by the builder himself!



    Lost City by Kush Land 604
    Let’s get this out of the way. I love technical uphill tracks. They are some of the most enjoyable tracks to me and I will never complain about them (too much). This track by Kush pressed all of the right buttons for me. Required throttle control? Check. Wicked theme? Check. Possibility to get really quick runs? Check.

    Infamous Shot has us all covered by this video.



    Vinyl Destination by Rishaan
    So, you liked the art design of Magic Marker from Trials Evo, but weren’t a fan of the punishingly brutal extreme line? Me too, that jump can go cry in a corner. You KNOW what jump. Well, we’ve got Vinyl Destination to give us that MM-Evo feel, while being a whole new punishingly brutal track, except for maybe you ninja riders who wouldn’t be fazed by a 30ft vertical wall.

    Can’t play right now? Don’t worry, you can still see the video.



    Speed Trap 2014 by Cry-994
    Speaking of “feels like” Speed Trap hits right in the Trials HD feels. Is the driving line the exact same? No, but it’s close enough, updated enough and packs the nostalgia punch of one of my favorite Trials HD tracks. I’m sensing a #WeekendChallenge on Twitter. There’s one minor camera issue, but I just can’t not like this track.

    We’ve got you covered with this replay video.



    And there it is, 5 more tracks making their way to the universal adoration of Trials riders everywhere. Good luck, good tracks. We wish you the best. Don’t forget to stop by next week, where we’ll have more Trials tracks making the leap… and I mean MORE.

    Who picks these tracks. The speed trap 2014 track has too many problems it wouldn't fit in this message.

    A few main ones:

    Every ramp is just... Really bad for landing, The amount of places it grabs my back tire or front tire is ridiculous

    The object placement is bad so I hit my front tire in many places.

    There is a sheet of metal that falls into the driving line and hits the rider, slowing them down, what's up with that.

    Do you guys at RL test these tracks? This speed trap was a HD track, and the creator has just gone and made a not so good remake of it and it gets into the Uplay recommended.

    Played all of them, love all of them. Can't finish the extreme one though (but I love the concept). I particularly love "Lost City"!

    3 picks from featured builders for this month. How redundant can you be with your selections?
    I know not many build for Fusion these days, but at least put a little effort in finding something new.
    I know, you pick what you like...haha, come on man. Of course you like the tracks, that's why they're in the featured builder section too.

    Not to echo Funkman here, but similar to Evo...it's like watching the same thing over and over. At least there should be a few Team of 5 picks next week.

    There is no redundancy between featured and uplay pick. I am happy to be able to play on PC the tracks that come from featured builders on consoles.

    I say black, you say blue...I got it.
    It's repetitive to have the current featured builder in uplay, as well. Same tracks, same builders. It seems obvious, but not to you maybe.

    Here's the deal. Your Featured Builder is only on your platform. If we would like to showcase some of those tracks on other platforms, they go into the Uplay Recommended Feed. Players on other platforms do not see "same tracks, same builders", well, maybe they do, but it will be different tracks and builders that they might find repetitive. End result, 75% of the platforms do not have those "redundant" selections.

    I've asked you a few times not to do this. I've given you the benefit of the doubt a few more times. This passive-aggressive trolling from you is tiresome and, more importantly, against the forum rules.
