LL Cool L Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Anyone seen the trailer for this? got me excited, I also have Steep which seems similar but very underrated and not very popular Mr. Scratch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Yea this seems like it's Steep but more... accessible? Not just snow sports this time around but basically everything it looks like. I didn't buy Steep but I did play it when it was given out on PS+ and it was fun, albeit it didn't play how I expected to at all and reminded me a lot of the Trials games. Would maybe be down for this depending on what they show going forward. LL Cool L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Scratch Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 A new mtb game? Count me in. Also, was that f*cking Rob Warner at 0:19? LL Cool L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexMacLeod Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Yeah, watching the trailer for this during the event I totally thought it was just Steep 2. Even after the name was revealed I kept expecting the developers to at least refer to it as a "spiritual successor" but they never even brought it up. Just hyped the fact that it's a "brand new" IP. I like the look of this but I think it's a wait for the "complete edition" to go on a deep, deep sale for me. LL Cool L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LL Cool L Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 yh im really excited for this, especially with some mountain biking and both sand and snow.....hope they have some massssssive over the mountain drops and races etc. I really enjoyed steep, tried to get a few of my gta firends to play but they didn't. I wonder how they will balance they different ways of traversal, mountain bike seems like the best option on downhill races so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Bit of a bump, but the first beta is live at the moment for those invited. It's NDA'd so those who've played it can't talk about it, but there's leaked footage of it. I totally haven't played it and this only based on my viewing of leaked footage and not from playing he beta, but it's... really surprisingly good.

DexMacLeod Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 There's a "walkthrough" of the first half hour or so up on youtube and although the game looks pretty good I have a feeling I'm going to be hitting that skip button a lot. The dialogue is just a constant barrage of slang terms that the writer's don't seem to fully understand. My other gripe is that it seems to have taken a cue from Forza Horizon 4 in the whole "winning doesn't really matter" department and cranked it up a bit. Saw a video where a guy got 2,000xp for finishing a race and a 300xp bonus for coming in first. That just sort of kills any sense of accomplishment for me. That said, it does look fun. I got sick of Steep pretty quickly but the sheer amount of vehicles in this thing makes it look like it could keep me entertained for awhile. I'll probably wait and see how much it drops in price in the Xbox Winter Sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the game looks like a lot of fun, and there's nothing else quite like it, it better have the option of turning off dialogue audio, because this is exactly the kind of writing that turns good, honest men into murderous psychopaths.

AndyGanteks Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I just skip the cutscenes, there's no story to this really. it's all about having meaningless fun to relax you after a tough day at work and messing with tricks and what not.

It's not just the cutscenes. Judging by those gameplay trailers, there's some asshole talking to you on an earpiece during gameplay as well.

Testarossa Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 played about an hour of it during the beta... this game suffers from the crew 2-itis by having incredibly annoying dialogue in every 5 minutes, it ruined a lot of my experience not gonna lie. twitter // instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Yea the dialogue is annoying as hell really, it'll get old quick. Hopefully it calms down once you progress into the game. That and the hand holdy intro were my two issues with the beta, the rest of the game was fun. The gameplay and map variety is pretty damn good, it feels like a really fleshed out Steep. My primary concern long term though is the loot system, it feels like Ubisoft are just forcing loot into a game where it doesn't really work that well just so you have stuff to unlock.

Jason Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 There's a free 4 hour full game trial out for this before it launches proper next week for anyone who's had their eye on this. I sorta really like it in a Trials/Steep sorta way, I could put some time and have some fun with this for sure but it's coming out at a bad time so perhaps this will be a wait for sale game for me.

Mr. Scratch Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 The mountain bikes feel like sh*t tbh. Also, has Ubisoft ever heard of singletrack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never quoted myself before but after playing a little bit of the free trial it seems they've changed this and actually made it worse. As far as I can tell there's no bonus for coming in first anymore and it's literally just participation points regardless of position. The handling of the various "vehicles" feels a bit weird. It took me a minute to realize that the game has a bunch of assists on by default but even after turning them all off I still felt like I wasn't fully in control of things. It's almost like walking down certain paths in GTA V. Like the game was sort of guiding me to stay on the path sometimes. This was never going to be a day one purchase for me, or even a full priced purchase, but after the trial I think I'm gonna wait until it drops below half price. Even if that takes a year or more. The thing I enjoyed most about the game was the snowboarding so I may just end up reinstalling Steep and try giving that another shot. Though the wingsuits look fun, too.

InTheSun10 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Seems better than steep IMO, just wish the photo mode had a zoom or tilt feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
