Servers a bit overloaded?

Yep. Took a few tries to connect.

Uh, what? That was kinda fun. I believe this is the 4 player thing they had.

You can buy Ubisoft’s latest Trials game right now. A physical version is in stores for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 today, but you can’t play its online multiplayer mode. Not because of any server issues, but because it isn’t available yet.
Trials Fusion includes a ton of content and online functionality. The $40 disc (and $20 digital download that comes out tomorrow) has dozens of stages with leaderboards that enable you to compete against your friends, but it is missing the head-to-head online four-player mode from Trials Evolution. Developer RedLynx found that fans didn’t really dig that, so it took it out … but it hasn’t finished the new mode that it came up with to replace it.
“Trials Fusion will support a type of online multiplayer experience as, based on the metrics from Trials Evolution, RedLynx saw that online multiplayer wasn’t [a popular] feature among players,” an Ubisoft spokesperson told GamesBeat. “So instead of bringing back the same feature, the team decided to take the time to create a new, more robust online multiplayer experience that will be released as a free game update in the months after launch.”
When you start Trials Fusion, you’ll have the option to select a bunch of single player levels as well as local multiplayer. The game also has a “Tournaments” mode that is currently unavailable, which is the online mode that is still in production.
We asked for details about this feature — including how it will work and when players can expect it — but Ubisoft isn’t talking.
“We don’t have any additional information to share about online multiplayer at this time.”
Earlier this month, Ubisoft released a trailer showing off the “competition” aspect of Trials. It showed off the local multiplayer and leaderboard chasing, but it failed to mention the tournaments or online head-to-head play.

Am I reading that correctly? No actual head-to-head mp?

I don't know. I think that is where you have the 4 players on the screen at once, as opposed to what jms and I always play, which one of us is a ghost to the other. But, I can't find a way to play with someone else.

Well, my purchase is gone.

 

[Handleit_44]

Rackin' up dem gold medals. :smug:

 

[Garrett67]

Edit, disregard


Oh, I read somewhere today that if you hit the Share button, the game will freeze. I can't remember where I saw that though.

It's happened a few times for me.

Well, my purchase is gone.

If you can't race four player simultaneously, then I'm right with you. Fuck that.

Hopefully it will go down in price by the time the multiplayer hits. If that happens, I might even send you a friend request. :wink:

 

[Garrett67]

Well, thats $40 I'm not getting back.

I should have gotten on PC.

Damn PS4 bullshit.

 

[jms493]

What a bunch of BS...so far this game is not as good as Evolution. Red Lynx might have peaked with that game.

Cant connect to Uplay and the leaderboards are all messed up.

Back to Forza we go.

 

[PepperNY]

I am out on this as well, glad I saw that before buying the game. I did download the demo for ps4

 

[Twigg4075]

This will be waiting for me when I I get home. Right back to Best Buy it goes. Of course I find this out mere hours after I placed the order. What another missed opportunity. Not popular my ass. They probably either were having issues or just to lazy to program the option for the new consoles. EVERY time I played that mode in Evolution there were three other players. There were always opponents. They're full of shit.

you guys are upset that its missing 4 player split screen mode?

 

[Twigg4075]

Not split screen, actual four player mp. The four player mp in Evolution was the best part of the game. Racing against JMS, Garrett and Swarley was tons of fun. Now all they have is racing against ghosts, which is what you do on every track in single player anyway. What a fucking joke. Fuck you Red Lynx.

the best part was downloading a bunch of user created tracks putting like 10 in a bucket and then playing through them all. Some were awesome and some were shit but it was fun to discover them.

Well multiplayer will be in eventually so I guess we have something to look forward to.

 

[Maynard]

well, thats pretty lame.

so this game is $40 for the disc or $20 for the download...why would anyone buy the disc?
