I think I like watching videos of Trials much more than actually playing Trials.

Looks awesome. A more robust level sharing system is just what the doctor ordered, Trials HD's editor was actually pretty cool, but the fact that you could only share tracks with your friends list made it kinda not worth the effort. Globally shared levels is going to make this game way, way more replayable, and the new editor looks crazy. Can't wait.

Any Trials veterans able to tell if they finally added analog leaning? The digital nature of the weight shifting in Trials HD was a real turnoff for me. It was kinda hard to tell in the video, but to me it looked it like there were just a couple positions being toggled between again. Can someone with a more nuanced eye confirm?

Wow, for what was a relatively simple game they seem to have expanded the scope considerably. I really enjoyed the first game, so I'm really looking forward to this one as well.

The inclusion of local multiplayer (multiplayer!) sold me on the game the second I saw it.

Wait, what? What was that about YOU CAN MAKE A FPS WITH THEIR EDITOR?

That was possibly the greatest trailer I've ever seen.

Man.. I loved Trials HD but i hated the art direction. If this series had a little bit of actual... art... to its art. It could've been really great. Generic ass xtreme sports aesthetic is generic.

I think it's really disgusting that they aren't releasing this for PC. I loved the first game on PC (and on XBLA) and would love more Trials action. Especially with that editor. But nooooo, PC is left out in the cold.

Until the port is announced 3 months from now that is...

Common why no PC version? Trials the game was born on the PC FFS.

When Trials HD came out, the Bombcast crew were discussing how frustratingly hard the game is. As one the earliest downloadable games for Xbox Live Arcade, Jeff joked that there was no way to throw the box in frustration. He said that all you can do is copy the game to a memory card, and then throw the memory card. Still makes me laugh...

Would that make Trials the first game to have both its original and sequel be Summer of Arcade games?

Looks like they threw the kitchen sink in with this one -- that's fine -- TrialsHD had a bunch of stuff I didn't get into either (mini-games) and I still enjoyed the regular gameplay.

Love the multiplayer, though -- that will be fun.
