    Uplay Recommended Drop #28 - a.k.a. The Massive Holiday Drop

    We’re closing in on the Winter Holiday break, and we’re not sure how many tracks will be uploaded in the coming couple of weeks, so we are leaving you with an extra-large helping of Uplay Recommended tracks this time around. We’ve got 14 badass creations from you, the Trials Community, to you, the Trials Community to keep you busy during the Winter Break.

    There’s a lot to go over now, so let’s get going.

    Avarua Industries by ConfusedMuscles
    Our first track is by ConfusedMuscles, which shouldn’t be surprising. It’s got a great line, great decoration and it’s a great track. It might not be a technical uphill track, but it has the right blend of flowing and technical obstacles to satisfy any style of Trials rider. Nothing says “Merry Christmas” quite as much as being dropped down an incinerator chute, amirite?

    TeriXeri video incoming!



    HYDRO by ll ManOnFire ll
    Some people have claimed it to be impossible to make dirty old nasty looking environments. Please check out MoF’s track here to see the opposite of that. This dirty old dam features some nice, tough obstacles in an Extreme track package that most players can complete.

    Infamous Shot’s video shows better than I can explain.



    Fear of the Dark by WelluTheKing
    I’ve personally never played a WelluTheKing track before, but after checking out Fear of the Dark, it’s a creator I’ll be watching out for. Multiple routes and some great lighting stand out to me, but the decoration and line(s) elevate the track to darned-near Must-Try status.

    ZarZrak has the video proof!



    Tech Romance by Eevan80
    I think that this track is one of the most well rounded creations I have seen. I love it when you go from that Trials HD (claustrophobic inside) feel into an outdoor reveal. There’s a slick driving line, a well-crafted theme that is super cohesive, and timesavers. This track fits the world that was shown, and that’s much easier said than done.

    Good Guy Deano helped out with the video on this one.



    Aurum Mine by funktastic-
    Holy Crap, guys, there is so much going on in this track. It may not be perfect, but it all fits and it’s FUN. There are a few minor issues, but the animation is spot on and makes the world feel more alive as you trek through the mines. Funk has progressed a lot in a short amount of time. He’s one to watch. Also, this end animation is one of my favorites.

    The funky one himself provided video.

    Sleeper by Loot Monkey
    Loot Monkey has been kicking butt in Trials editing since at LEAST Trials HD (Wilderness?! Yes) and his skills have grown exponentially. He has always had his own style, and Sleeper is no exception. It is, however, an exceptional track that is super satisfying to play. He DOES have the experience of working with the Trials Fusion level design team….

    Check out Dean’s video of Sleeper.



    Fight for Survival by Spyzer1
    Spyzer1 brings a great silhouette styled track to Track Central with Fight for Survival. An airship is taking shots at you, and you’re flying across rooftops and construction in this fast and flowing creation. The use of orange lighting and fog gives Fight for Survival a nice sandstorm feel. I’m not typically a fan of custom cameras, but the use on this track feels really good.

    Check out the video of Fight for Survival here.



    Crazy Christmas by koumick95
    This track certainly lives up to its name. Welcome to the insanity of the North Pole, where driving over frozen lakes, having snowmen as checkpoints and having mountains move out of the way is a normal daily occurrence. There is too much in this track to be talked about, so make sure you give it a run (or ten).

    Check out koumick95’s video of his creation here.



    Ein Paradies mit Durex by KingDurex
    When you have “Paradies” in your track name, it needs to live up to the hype, and this track looks just like a tropical paradise. Sand, palm trees, waterfalls, and a loud motorcycle disturbing everyone trying to kick back and relax are some of the things you will find in this vacation hotspot.

    Check out the video by Bruno Frakass.



    Ancient Aliens by Kush Land 604
    Seriously great track name for a seriously fun track, but you know me, and I’m a sucker for uphills. This one has a good flow that, when done right, will earn the rider a smooth as silk replay. The theme? Holy smokes, all, this track FEELS like an alien facility that goes on for miles into the distance. Kush has been knocking them out of the park lately, and I can’t wait to see what he makes next.

    Check out our replay of Ancient Aliens here.

    Snowflake by CouPaln GoTiEr
    This Recommended entry has a hard name to write (not the Snowflake part) and a hard track to ride. What starts as a technical uphill quietly shifts into hopping and well-timed jumps before diving back into those technical sections. Also, it’s a winter track, and felt appropriate for this week’s drop.

    Peep the vid of Snowflake right here.



    MBS.MOGUL by murderbysound
    Yup. When I see an MBS track, I know one of two things will happen. I will either rage at minor things I do wrong, or I will be in awe of an awesome track. This one makes me do both. The sepia tones make this track feel like something out of… well, a time when sepia tones were what they had, and this track has more flow than the Nile.

    Check out MOGUL’s replay.



    397 < harvest > by RaketeAal397
    If there was an award for Best Alien Abduction as seen in Trials Fusion, then Rakete would be walking away with my vote. Everything in this track is well done, from the amazing decoration and sound work, all the way to the all-important driving line. Bravo, I say, Mr. Aal. Bravo.

    Check out the found footage from the investigation.



    Storm Surge [K8] by KALzzone8
    KAL is no stranger to the Fusion editor, he shouldn’t be, being a new RL employee, and Storm Surge (say it in an 80’s over the top action movie announcer voice) is an experience. I like talking a bit of trash on KAL, but I’ve got nothing on this track. It’s got everything I lie, good line, good sound and good decoration. It’s also possible that everything I just said was “good” is actually “great”.

    Check out the replay of the Surging Storm right here.



    And here we are at the end of the list. 14 tracks from our awesome Trials building community spread out from 4 different platforms being made available to everyone who plays Trials Fusion. I am 100% confident that everyone will enjoy at least a handful of tracks this week.

    Have a Happy Holiday season, Trials Riders.

    -Shifty


    PS: Sorry for the triple post, but there are a LOT of tracks this week.

    Due to track corruption, not all tracks are available on all platforms. We are looking into the situation and hope to get the missing tracks up quickly, but with the holiday fast approaching we cannot estimate their availability.

    Do you mean Snowflake? I'm not sure what one obstacle you are referring to, but in my experience an awesome run can become garbage on the smallest of obstacles. I stand by the selection, but I thank you for your honest feedback.

    I'd like to make some "pick worthy" tracks. Can you guys at Ubilynx give me some pointers on these:





    Happy holidays Trials fans.

    @Vegastrash: Put them in the thread where it's centralized, it's where people responsible for it look at to see suggestions.

    When i first saw the recommended feed i wondered if there had been some secret leak in the headquaters of redlynx. I would say proberbly the best trackdrop so far. Some amazing quality decor and amazing art is going on in the package. I apprciate all and like 90% of it not much to say apart from bravo good allround drop.

    Thanks for choosing one of mine , i personely think this is one of my own favourites.

    Cant wait for the release of the next dlc to see what we can use and mix to make many more tracks.



    I like the first vid vagas , some good speed running on that one , im not good at the extremes so hard for me to say anything but they look good on the decor side of things.
