Oddly this is the same issue Assassin’s Creed IV had so you’d think it would’ve been fixed since then. I prefered how Trials Evolution didn’t have this uPlay garbage since it added nothing of value and is having a very negative impact on the game for many people. I managed to eventually get it to work by grabbing an older Ubisoft game and adding a non-uPlay account email address to the settings which I brought up on their support forums and is now the official 360 work around to the Xbox 360 problem until they get it fixed. This problem exists across all platforms and a week later isn’t resolved. So a fairly significant portion of the game for me because I’d used uPlay before, but not for customers who had never use uPlay before. Attempting to link my Xbox Live account on their website, as they suggested, wouldn’t work for me or others either.
Turns out I wasn’t the only one and there is an issue with linked accounts in uPlay. I couldn’t choose to not log into uPlay, it attempts to auto-connect, and once that fails you can’t access these features. Oddly enough, my wife without a uPlay account had access to all of these features. Being locked out of it for one day however wasn’t that big of a deal, not much user content on the first day anyway. Track Central is where I spent a majority of my time in Evolution as there was always a lot of great new user created tracks to play with. Or playing them at all once you realize the time you beat the track at didn’t matter because it didn’t record it. Considering that the game is mostly about not just beating a track, but slicing off a few second of time and no faulting it just to beat the person on the leaderboard above you, that removes a considerable reason for replaying tracks. Only problem was that the game said due to not being able to connect to uPlay I would not have access to the leaderboards, being able to save my track times, see friends ghosts in game or access Track Central.
I thought it might be because they were getting overwhelmed like many games do on the first day and clicked okay. It told me that the Ubisoft uPlay servers were unavailable.
And I love it.Īfter being very excited about the release of the game I downloaded it off of the Xbox Live Marketplace and fired it up. It would be play playing a Mario game where you have to quickly determine how much power you’re jumping with in each leg and how his body was angled all to get the most out of a jump. Being able to navigate the harder levels means having a mastery of shifting the riders weight on the bike, careful adjustments to the velocity you are traveling at, the angle you land at, along with managing momentum, which wheel lands first, etc.

It’s almost too simple of a comparison to say it is a platform game though, the Trials series have a much greater reliance on a precise physics engine. Unfortunately the game tries to make that jump in quality but end up failing more often than it succeeds.įor the uninitiated the Trials series of video games are a kind of side scrolling platform jumping game, only instead of a plumber jumping from pipe to pipe you control a man riding a motorcycle. Trials Fusion is the sequel to Trials Evolution, my favorite game of 2012 and a game I’ve invested an embarrassing amount of hours in, so the opening track claiming this game is ‘lightyears ahead of evolution’ sets a high bar for the game to try and bunny hop over. Still the song lyrics are a bold statement. I’ll be sitting there doing nothing then I’ll catch myself singing “Welcome to the future…” under my breath. While I liked the corny rock-rap of the prior game there’s something about this song that worms it’s way into your ear. When you boot up Trials Fusion it begins with a song which will crawl in your brain and live there for awhile that includes the following lyrics:
