Trials: Fusion (XBO, 360, PC & PS4)

[Brad]

Not even news anymore. Trials has always been a great looking game and no doubt this one will as well. Don't expect 1080@60 from XBox One games because you'll be disappointed. I agree that the controls are everything for this game. I think the PS4 controller will be just fine mind but that's always going to come down to preference.

Yep, I don't even need to click the link, day one patch to increase XB One resolution from 800p to 900p

Genuinely though, can't be the most taxing of games for the GPU etc.

Its a game thats been in development for a while though so they wouldnt have had the latest SDK's for the One. Even the PS4 version has had last minute optimisations by the look of it. Yet another example of 1st year blue's, but 99% of people are not going to notice 900p vs 1080p.

I suppose you know all of this as a fact and have evidence to support it?

I may grab the retail version of this, but I might see how reception for it is in general first.

[Brad]

Hardly anyone will even notice. I bet I wouldn't!

I don't see the point in defending individual games at this point though; The ps4 / Xbox One disparity is present in practically every game from every developer. I really don't believe that the SDK is the problem - not when the hardware differences fully explain the differences.

For the majority of people playing the games 900p vs 1080p is neither here nor there; the problem for MS is that the popular gaming sites will mention this difference for every single game where it happens and it will happen for every single game.

When they talk about these games rendering at 900p is that 1600x900 or something less?

Well the game out this this month so it would have been in development for at least a year, probably two ... and we all know the SDK's are not up to scratch on the One... I would take that as pretty good evidence.

I would be s****** bricks if I were at Microsoft. They have the more expensive machine with poorer specs, that's a stonecold fact that's not going to change during the coming years and people will know it. As most games these days are multiplatform, I don't see any reason for the average consumer to purchase a One instead of a PS4 when the PS4 version will always be the better one. Shame really, because to me the Xbox has been the real "gamer's console" all these years.

Oh no's ... How will Microsoft ever come back from this ... [Sarcasm Mode off]

Oh the One is the same a price as the PS4 now .. For more hardware (Kinect)

Back on topic I really am looknig forward to this ... Mulling over whether to get the season pass though as that ramps the price up significantly...

Well, it's quite clear that the PS4 is kicking One's arse in sales and these continued news of the worse Xbox versions aren't going to change the situation in Microsoft's favour.

Yes get the season pass.
I presume you've played the previous games? If so you'll already know how great these games are. If you've not played them, you're in for a treat. Frustrating/control smashing/rewarding fun!

[Family Fry]

I won't commit to this season pass until I see the content.
Also I won't compare it to previous trials as this clearly has an Ubi focus.
Levelling up characters to access new bikes, earning money to buy said new bikes, cross linking it to mobile version to unlock costumes and content.
Even locking new course editor content behind the season pass, it's all sounds a bit ****ty and nothing like previous trials.

I've not played Trials before, and don't think I'll go for the season pass from the off, no reason not to pick it up at a later date, and will I still be playing this in a years time? (they reckon six bits of DLC by May 2015).

Saw someone post on another forum somewhere that they'll buy it digitally so they don't sell the disc purely out of frustration.

[Brad]

Didn't know Ubisoft had a hand in it.

You will not be playing it in a year's time. You will install it. You will play it and fail like a machine of fail. You will get a little better and realise you can shave whole seconds off your time by doing some bits slower than before. You will then look at your watch and realise you've missed dinner and bed and it's time to go to work. You'll decide to skip work and take the week off for personal reasons (death in the family or something). You'll then realise it's a week later and the family has moved out and left you. You won't care. 2 months later (thank goodness for Ocado) you'll progress no further and decide to uninstall it and try and rebuild your life, with the help of counselling.

Yeah Ubi bought the trials dev team a couple of years ago, around or before the release of Trials Evolution on 360.
