Download is done.

I'm ready for some "open beta" just before the full game!

Any word on number of tracks or max difficulty? I hope they throw in one extreme but i doubt they will.

I didn't love how full ninja the extreme tracks went in the last trials. Hopefully we get back to more of the HD/Evo design philosophies and leave the ninja levels to custom created ones.

Hmm really? I didn't think the extremes were too much or anything. Though I'm used to playing ninja tracks people make.

I mean maybe ninja is too strong for the extreme tracks but I was able to do well (gold+) on the extreme tracks in HD and Evo but could only even complete like 60-70% of the extreme tracks in Fusion.

Just from the title screen I can see that the UI's really low-res on Switch; makes it kind of hard to read. I hope the actual in-game stuff isn't a blurry mess because this is definitely a game I'd buy on Switch when I wouldn't elsewhere.

Can you play this on Switch without Nintendo Online? The eshop says something about some content needing online, but I don't know what's actually included in the beta.

I tried logging in an hour ago on Switch and it kept giving me a no internet connection error even though I clearly had one.

edit: lol well just found out it starts tomorrow.

I am SO hoping this runs decent enough on the Switch. It is a perfect game for the portability factor of it.
However I was in the Alpha on the X and it kind of ran like ass on there. It was an Alpha though so maybe they treated it as such.
I actually have it preloaded on the X as well just to see if there has been improvements made there as well.
But if it runs decent on the Switch, will no doubt be getting in there.

When can you actually play the beta? Asking for Switch, it won't connect to the server for me.

Got into the last closed beta (alpha?) a bit ago, but never got to try this out. Preloaded and ready to try this out on Xbox One.

i have a feeling that this will be the most "fun" game of February

I've had a pretty fun month despite all these negative threads...my two worst games played are Spike Volleyball (an actual broken game) and Metro: Exodus, which is still good, just not fun to me like playing Tetris 99/Apex/Anthem and beating Far Cry, Crackdown, and Jump Force were.

Hopefully this beta sells me on the latest Trials, but I've played enough games this month lol

Two minutes in before the first loot crate appears.... that shit is going to invade each and every game going forward, isn't it.

Also, dissapointing that a pure "current" gen (Fusion was also available on previous generation consoles iirc) Trials still does not run smoothly (playing on PS4) with framerate issues, screen tearing and sluggish menu loading and screens (with texture popup). Are these games so taxing on hardware, maybe due to the physics?

Also, i preferred the setup from Fusion, with just a bunch of simple menus and tracks, without any career stuff. Just click track and play is what Trials is about for me.

So yeah, not that impressed to be honest. I don't see anything new that makes this better than Fusion, on the contrary. I haven't played enough tracks though. This was actually my most anticipated game (with Dirt Rally 2) this year so i hope i'll change my mind after playing some more of the beta.

This is so much fun! It's been a while since we got a good Trials game. I like this game's theme and aesthetics much more than Fusion's. I think I'll preorder the gold edition.

yep, this is rather disappointing, i´ve played Fusion yesterday and it runs much better than Rising...not gonna buy it with these technical problems...and they should have done this "Beta" in November/December and not 5 days before release ffs

played the Switch and Ps4 Pro version....
the Switch is a substantial downgrade.
60(with dips) vs 30(with dip)
At least 1080p on Pro vs 720p (could be 900p dynamic) on Switch.
But what's really sticking out are the reduced objects and effects in the Switch version.

I play these for the multiplayer racing, how is it compared to fusion/evolution? I liked the feeling of Evolution a lot more.

the dips on Pro are annoying, there are split second freezes sometimes, completely destroys the rhythm and is irritating

I know it's cool to say "preorder cancelled", but uh, that really is a cancelled preorder for me. Such a shame to hear.

I really couldn't stand the last trials game. Hope this is closer to the first two released on console.

Hmm only 1080p with frame rate problems on PS4 Pro? How good is the anti-aliasing? Does it have HDR? 🤔

I hoped for a graphical upgrade over Fusion... but will buy it anyways.

Was just playing for a couple hours then got disconnected from the server and can't reconnect.

Edit: Server maintenance it seems.

Travelling so stuck with the Switch version. 30fps and you can't press lightly on the gas....why would anyone buy this version if they had the option.

That said I like the new setting a lot.
