this will scratch a bit of that Trials itch until RedLynx gets around to making a proper new Trials game

I've bought it, I played the trial and had a bunch of fun. and as predicted the little girl is gona make me play this to death, it feels quite 'zen' too.

Hi Mike!

I get its game preview but so i hope the updates will come regularly, it not being X updated yet is fine but disappointing but it seems like there is a frame pacing issue (frame rate stutter) on the X.

Gona grab tea and play some more tonight.

Hey Gowans,

thanks for checking it out! That sounds odd, there shouldn't be any frame stuttering on either the regular Xbox One or the X. Could you let me know where you see that happen?

First I've heard of this game I confess, but does look like a lot of fun and I'm kinda burned out on shooters and action games at the mo

May have to pick this up!

It's feels fab, great zone out game.

Maybe it's because a few games are updating but there is defo a judder.

I'm not sure if it's small bumps mapping directly 1:1 with the camera or frame pacing.

My 5 year old has stolen it off me and she's already landing clean front flips

Will do!

Cheers for stopping by : )

If its ok to ask, do you folks have a timeframe of how long you expect to be in Game Preview?

Yeah we reckon we'll be adding more and more stuff to it for at least the next 6 months, so I reckon it'll probably leave Game Preview at the very start of next year

Downloaded the trial last night. Thought it was ok but i was hoping for races against cpu rather than solo descents. Felt very tranquil though peddling down the hill listenting to trance music lol

Really like this game. It's definitely something I can just throw on for a few minutes when I don't feel like getting overly stressed out or have to think too hard.

I love how you can pump, lean, and get in attack position. My only gripe for the game is the character model when leaning. They lean their body rather than their bike which would likely lead to a washout irl. Overall, I love it!

Definitely trying the trial out when I get home tonight.

Congrats on the launch, Mike!

I've been getting to risky on the near misses and paying for it.

You can go very very fast holding down on the right stick and get very very dead.

This has been added to Gamepass.

It's great fun. Very rough around the edges and definitely not a looker.. it also has some performance hitches on a One X. But the gameplay is really great and it has a fantastic sense of speed. I will probably add this to my daily rotation!
