What? I want to play that cave track. I assume it is not available for the X1 then?

The Cave was recently added to Uplay Picks in Track Central. Everyone can play it now.
Man, what happened at Redlynx? Less tracks at launch, no online multiplayer, delayed and half-assed tournaments, and now these tiny DLC packs this long after launch. And all this with over twice as many people working on the game.
I honestly don't know, but it may have something to do with Ubisoft.
At this juncture, I don't really see a reason to buy the season pass except for the leaderboard rankings and support for the game. The community does daily come up with great tracks.

So basically nothing
According to Wikipedia, RedLynx had 34 employees in 2007. Making the assumption that Trials HD was made with these 34 employees, we fast forward to the developer team working on Trials Fusion. According to Eurogamer; "All in all, Fusion is a huge project, one which RedLynx's 110-strong team have been able to source manpower from another 100 extra Ubisoft staff to support". Now, who knows how many hours were put from each of the developers on the team. However, from 40 tracks to 6 tracks for a nearly equally-priced DLC (~$5) pack, there is definitely room for concern.

Porting to next gen stole some resources, and they're probably already working on their next game right now. The concept of a season pass is a little anti consumer, as we're seeing now.

I've actually found the tournaments to be quite fun. There are always new ones to try, and it's fun seeing how well I can rank on the leaderboards. It's kept me coming back nearly daily for a while now.
I don't think the DLC is a bad deal if you go the season pass route. Because when all that DLC is out, it should nearly double the content of the game. .

They already did in the last patch. And they're in the process of removing runs that use it to get good times, which is gonna take a while as it involves a lot of manual work. Apparently they put one employee on this full time.

Microsoft should have purchased them instead.

I don't see anything in the release notes about fixing the missing pre-order content on the physical PS4 game

That is something I'm very happy didn't happen. Would have sucked to have Trials be MS-exclusive for another generation.

It's fixed.
I bought Fusion on Steam, but I would happily trade it for a better version on Xbox.

Of course, and if the amount of content was the same as Evolution, it was because of RedLynx. It's all so straightforward!
Oh, I didn't know about that. Haven't followed the scene for a while.
Seriously? They need a real person to do this? Why not just delete every run that has inputs of the right analog stick? This shouldn't be a problem to detect.
Gotta try the coffin by myself on the trials when I play the game next time... which doesn't happen often atm. Hard to believe that they removed it without cleaning the leaderboards before.
I also made use of that exploit and I'm already looking forward to get my times back.

No, it was supposed to be some bike skins as well as a rhino helmet. As of this morning it wasn't working on my copy.

Well, I wouldn't buy an XBO just for this game (and I don't feel that it's otherwise worth getting one when I already have a PS4), so that would have meant no Trials at all for me. Ubi buying them clearly hasn't been optimal for fans of the series (other than the fact that people on more platforms get to play the games), but yeah.
That would be extremely unfair to everyone who might just have done some tricks for fun without actually using the exploit. You are allowed to do that after all, it's part of the game now. Or maybe you just accidentally flicked the right stick, should that disqualify your run? No, what they're doing is much more fair. It's just gonna take longer.

I'm at work right now, but has anyone played the game today to see if the update is live?
Not played it but it showed up on my ps4 notifications that it downloaded an update.

It's coming on Tuesday.
Im interested in getting into trials franchise. Not really interested in any online aspect of the game.
Should I go for Fusion, o is evolution good enough as a stepping stone?
I've read in various places that evo is superior to fusion. Is there consensus about this?
Im on pc btw.

Just get Fusion. Unless Evolution can be bought for cheap. Then just go for that now. You can always pick up Fusion down the road.
Ditto, are there patch notes? Google let me down
Yep, got a bit ahead of myself when I saw the update, thinking it was the DLC. Interesting that they added the other 5 packs to the menu already, they all say Upcoming Content Pack instead of Coming Soon like the first one.
Also, some of the menu graphics are messed up now. The spinning globe when I connect to the servers is weird and there are a whole lot of blocks of color on the left of the event select screen.

I'm happy you can make tracks for the 4 player mode now. Was my favorite part of the last game.

Evo. It's not even close.
On PC? Did they fix the issues with it?

There isn't exactly a "low" number of RL tracks. Less than Evo, probably, but still a decent amount. There are loads of user-created tracks (the game on PS4 is telling me ~17,400 right now), and many really good ones. Don't know about skill games though, don't really play those. Trials is about trial tracks for me.
Don't believe they have. Still a matter of getting lucky. The game might run flawlessly on your machine, or it might run like crap, for no good reason.
I can't shake the feeling that even if RedLynx is being held back by a large pubisher, they wouldn't only release six trials on a DLC and call it day. Didn't they say the gigatrack of Fusion would be DLC? If one or more of those six tracks are ten minutes long, it would definitely help out the length and replayability of the DLC. Especially so if the challenges and skill game are challenging/unique. I could care less about the FMX and local MP though.
I'm trying not to count out RL too soon, but seeing "6" after months of waiting is almost an insult.

if you want a gigatrack, play the Cave from the user created tracks, amazing long track
Are there any problems for people redeeming the Season Pass from the disc version on PS4?
I redeemed it, shows up in my installed library as "Installed". But in game the season pass isn't checked off.
EDIT: i saw who made the OP. Then I understood why whitehawk's ghost is always in front of me....

For Xbox One users the DLC is up, if you've got a season pass and it now says you don't, it will work anyway if you click download
As for 360
Not up on PS4 yet (just checked) Dunno about PC. (edit: saw one post saying it's up on PC)
YMMV based on where you live I suppose.
I really hope PS4 owners are not forced to wait for GCT

Europe won't be getting the DLC today on PS4. North America will get it later today.
It should be fine. It just looks wrong. I asked them on their forums and that's what they said.

So how many dlc packs have been released this far?
It's disappointing how these $5 packs only have like 5 or 10 tracks. Evolution had like 35 per pack!

This is the first one.
It's up on the SEN store
Even though the game says I don't have the season pass, the SEN store said "free" (instead of the 3.99 it costs), so I purchased it. It now shows up under my add-ons as installed
But the game won't recognize it. Fucks sake.
I don't have time to sort this out today.
edit: it's finally showing up. still says I don't own the season pass though

I just went through 5 of the 6 Trials tracks and they're pretty great tracks. The other stuff doesn't interest me, but there is an FMX track and a couple multiplayer tracks.
I think the DLC for this game only makes sense if you do the season pass. What they're charging for the individual pieces is kinda ridiculous. If you want more Trials I say buy the season pass.
