I'm using XBLA more and more. Been playing PSII for two weeks now, and I bought Sam & Max; Comix Zone; Wallace..., times are indeed changing.

100% guaranteed buy for me. I sank a whole load of time into trials 2 and always played with the 360 pad plugged in, so this is a complete no brainer. Even if this was a straight up port I'd probably have gone for it, but as a full on sequel by the looks of it? Oh yes!

I'm guessing it'll be 1200 points, a good price I'm guessing from what I've seen of the game.

that's probably the first XBLA game where i don't even ask for the price, hell even if they want 1600 points i'll get this on day one.

I run this at 1920 res on the PC and it looks gorgeous.

But it's hard. Punishingly hard.

When I play this game I scream and blaspheme and curse and spit and...

It's just really hard.

"Trials HD displays friends' times during the particular courses, so riders can see them as they leap through tires, up walls and through the air."

Finally, someone has been taking notes from Geometry Wars 2. Brilliant move.

Also, this game is already so brilliant, so as long as it runs great, it will definitely be worth 1600 points. But if they release it at a lower price point, they may have a smash hit on their hands.

This is the first XBLA game that i've actually been really excited about! I loved Trials 2 to death even though Tom did keep beating my times and mocking me :(

We have also pre-race leaderboard so you can see friend/your scores before you start the track. Works pretty well too :)

It's a game where you ride a m0t0rbike in a 2D environment (with 3D graphics) and break every bone in your body every five seconds.

I love Trials! But looking at the e3 screenies I am concerned they might be spreading themselves a bit too thin with the ski -ing , ball riding, extreme sports thingy's . What made the original one of the best games ever was its purity.

I prey I am wrong!

Well when we use physics as game main idea, making rider to ride inside the ball is just matter of placing object’s not actually coding new features.

Also for example one skill game where we set rider on fire and you have to ride as long you can. Slower you go bigger the flames get. That also uses the features we had in game anyhow. So they are pretty solid and don’t thin the main game.

They are more like advanced training grounds also. Since you are “forced” to ride different styles in those, so when you play skill games you get better and have fun at the same time.

New screens also: http://www.eurogamer.net/gallery.php?gam...
