We've seen people pay more <em>just</em> for the menacing volcano.<br /><br />Origin of Pain adds a new BMX dirt bike, with its own tracks and special event, while the elaborate track editor gets support for "teleporting, gun firing, switch filters and vector math."

You'll notice that there are a few curious entries on there, including <em>Trials Evolution, I Am Alive</em>, and <em>Beyond Good and Evil HD</em>, among a few other popular and well-known console games.<br /> <br /> Presumably, this means that Ubisoft has released or is working on free-to-play, probably browser-based variants of all of these titles. Ubisoft has <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/06/from-dust-migrating-to-google-chrome-in-april/">previously released <em>From Dust</em> on Google's Chrome</a> browser-based marketplace, and so that's the most likely avenue for the rest of these titles. We'll talk to Ubisoft about this at E3 this week; It'd definitely be great to see <em>Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes</em> as a free-to-play title in a browser near you.</div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/04/ubisoft-lists-trials-evolution-bgande-hd-i-am-alive-more-as-fre/">Ubisoft lists Trials Evolution, BG&amp;E HD, I Am Alive, more as free-to-play titles</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 04 Jun 2012 19:08:00 EST.

Single-player leaderboards, player-created track leaderboards, and multiplayer ranks won't be affected by this change.<br /><br />RedLynx recommends that players stay out of multiplayer for four to six hours after the update, in order to make sure that any scores earned are recorded correctly.

This week, Ubisoft revealed that the latest Trials franchise entry - <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/trials-evolution"><em>Trials Evolution</em></a> - sold approximately 500,000 units since its launch in mid-April.<br /><br />Sure, it's no <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/14/minecraft-xbla-sold-1-million-copies-in-five-days/"><em>Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition</em></a>, but half a million sales in less than a month is <em>quite</em> impressive for a title on Xbox Live Arcade. How impressive, you ask? Well, we'd love to tell you, but Microsoft doesn't release sales numbers for XBLA games. Those rascals! For context's sake, though, we'd point out that it took <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/14/trials-hd-jumps-and-flips-past-1-million-sales/">just over a year</a> for the first Trials game on XBLA to hit 1 million units sold. We get the feeling it'll take a bit less time with <em>Evolution</em>.<br /><br />In the same slide, RedLynx is called out as having many brands with "great multiplatform potential." A quick glance at RedLynx's catalog confirms our suspicion that Trials is indeed the Finnish studio's biggest "brand." How about that!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/16/trials-evolution-moves-half-a-million-in-just-three-weeks/">Trials Evolution moves half a million in just three weeks</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 16 May 2012 18:00:00 EST.

The subject matter doesn't seem worthy of the adjective, as it mostly involves a subject colliding with matter face-first after being catapulted from a motorcycle into an unimpressed log. It's just a simple, repeatable exercise in balancing a bike, which you steer through an insane obstacle course for no reason other than to succeed and see some flashy fireworks at the end.<br /><br />So, perhaps it's not the greatest or most important creation to emerge from an industry packed with intelligent designers and bold artists. It is, however, a perfect encapsulation of what drives any good game. <em>Trials</em> is like a transparent cube - a simple shape to house and display the same gears that turn within more elaborate machines. (It also costs $15, so a comparison to one of those gaudy, see-through Swatches from the '90s might be more apt.)<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/04/is-trials-evolution-the-perfect-game/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Is Trials Evolution the Perfect Game?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/04/is-trials-evolution-the-perfect-game/">Is Trials Evolution the Perfect Game?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 04 May 2012 15:00:00 EST.

The error, which resulted in newly created high-ranking tracks being promoted at the expense of older, equally awesome tracks has been corrected by making lifetime user ratings part of the calculation. This means that, old or new, the best user-created content should float to the top.<br /><br />We tried our hand at creating a <em>Trials Evolution</em> course, once. The idea was that the player would ride a motorcycle down an infinite ramp, gaining speed as they did so until they went <em>so fast</em> that they traveled back in time to the very creation of the universe, where they would instantly asphyxiate in the unforgiving void of space. Sadly, no one on staff had the time, patience or motivation to actually make any of that stuff happen, so what we ended up with was the <em>Trials Evolution</em> equivalent of a macaroni doodle.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/04/28/trials-evolution-track-ranking-bug-resolved/">Trials Evolution track ranking bug resolved</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 28 Apr 2012 13:30:00 EST.

Such a big deal, apparently, that Microsoft says it's the, "highest grossing day-sales in Xbox Live Arcade history." What does that <em>actually mean</em>? Your guess is as good as ours, as Ubisoft unfortunately "don't have any numbers that we can share." At least that's what a rep tells us. Harumph.<br /><br />Gamasutra, however, <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/168955/Trials_Evolution_breaks_XBLA_record_with_highest_sales_100K_downloads.php">sussed out</a> from Xbox Live leaderboards that approximately 100K ruff ryders took to the hills and valleys (and tires and wood and ... you get the idea) of <em>Trials Evolution</em>. Not too shabby for day-one sales on Xbox Live ... we think? At 1200 MS Points ($15), that's approximately $1.5 million gross in a mere 24 hours, so, yeah, not too bad!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/04/21/trials-evolution-is-highest-grossing-day-sales-in-xbox-live-arc/">Trials Evolution is 'highest grossing day-sales in Xbox Live Arcade history'</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 21 Apr 2012 18:00:00 EST.

"So help me, Richard, if I don't review <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/trials-evolution"><em>Trials Evolution</em></a>," I said back in March, "I'll start walking to Oklahoma right now."<br /><br />That was when I was younger, more foolish and willing to march to someone's house to get a downloadable game.<br /><br />The Ben of mid-April, however? He knows better. He knows that a sequel to 2009's <em>Trials HD</em>, expanding greatly on the finely tuned physics masterpiece of the first game, would be a dangerous game to review. Not because it isn't good - sweet lord, it's <em>glorious</em> - but because reviews are things that happen <em>quickly</em> after release. What I want to do with <em>Trials Evolution</em> is play it for another decade. Maybe then - <em>maybe!</em> - I could speak to all the content RedLynx added this time around.<br /><br />But here we are, and this is a review.

The latest trailer which reveals said launch, which showcases the game's surprisingly malleable track editor.<br /><br />Beyond making crazy tracks to challenge your best friends (and <em>worst enemies</em> -- it <em>is</em> Trials, after all) through Xbox Live, players will be able to create crazy looking first-person shooters and <em>Spy Hunter</em>-esque top down fare. And while that's all plenty thrilling, we're most interested in having an unlimited supply of crazy racetracks to obsess over.

"<em>Trials Evolution</em> is a game that makes full use of being continuously connected," he pointed out; online-based additions like leaderboards and online multiplayer are unavailable in the leaked version due to Microsoft's monitoring of hacked Xbox 360s.<br /><br />A <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/30/trials-evolution-rated-by-pegi/">recent PEGI rating</a> clued us in that <em>Trials Evolution</em> will launch sometime soon, but Virtala also teased a "new trailer coming soon which will give people a much better look into everything the game will hold and when they can expect to see it."

Europe's PEGI ratings board has classified RedLynx's <em>Trials Evolution</em>, giving rise to the hope of a launch announcement for the tricky motorcycle title that'll launch "<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/02/trials-evolution-to-launch-when-its-done-still-being-publish/">when it's done.</a>" <em>Trials Evolution</em> would be the second high-profile XBLA game rated by PEGI and noticed by <a href="http://www.xblafans.com/trials-evolution-races-into-ratings-34666.html">XBLAfans</a> this week, with <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/29/fez-rated-in-europe-the-four-year-wait-is-almost-over/"><em>Fez</em>'s classification</a> reported yesterday.<br />

Trials franchise creator RedLynx may be warming up to its new publisher marriage with Ubisoft, as <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/02/trials-hd-dev-acquired-by-ubisoft-for-undisclosed-amount/">this morning's acquisition announcement</a> revealed, but it doesn't mean that the Finland-based studio is moving in immediately. "We will still be working directly with Microsoft to bring <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/trials-evolution"><em>Trials Evolution</em></a> to Xbox Live Arcade once it's ready," RedLynx Director of Marketing and PR Jason Bates told me this morning.<br />

It doesn't look like that'll be this year, however, as Bates explained that the company is taking a "when it's done" attitude to development and the game's launch date. "What we've been holding to is the 'when it's done' approach," Bates said. "We are going to take the time to polish and test the game to the best of our ability before we release it, to ensure it matches the quality people have come to expect from a Trials game."<br />
<br />
<em>Trials Evolution</em> will be the last game that RedLynx puts out as an indie studio, as the game is still being published by Microsoft for Xbox Live Arcade, rather than Ubisoft. "We are looking forward to working with Ubisoft to ensure that <em>Trials Evolution</em> does get the attention it deserves when the game arrives," Bates said, though he also admitted that, "Ubisoft will respect the current commitments ... Microsoft is still the publisher of the title." The last Trials entry, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/trials-hd"><em>Trials HD</em></a>, has racked up over 2 million sales to date on Xbox Live Arcade -- a franchise Ubisoft is no doubt eyeing for potential future projects at the Finnish studio. Might we suggest <em>TrialsMania</em>?

Wildly successful indie developer RedLynx is now a part of French mega-publisher Ubisoft. RedLynx announced the acquisition this morning (evening for the Finland-based outfit) via <a href="http://www.redlynxgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&amp;t=6657">its forums</a>, where company CEO Rero Virtala explained the decision. "We were attracted by Ubisoft's focus on creativity and quality," he said, also pointing to the publisher's "long-term strategy on both the traditional and digital distribution video game markets."<br />
<br />
Ubisoft has been pushing quality digital titles hard over the last year, with everything from unique one-offs like <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/outland"><em>Outland</em></a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/from-dust"><em>From Dust</em></a> to re-releases of classics like <em>TMNT</em>, <em>Prince of Persia</em>, and <em>Beyond Good &amp; Evil HD</em>. The publisher was no doubt attracted to RedLynx's massively popular <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/trials-hd"><em>Trials</em></a> series, which is <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/trials-evolution">set to receive a sequel</a> in the coming months.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/02/trials-hd-dev-acquired-by-ubisoft-for-undisclosed-amount/">Trials HD dev acquired by Ubisoft for undisclosed amount</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 02 Nov 2011 13:00:00 EST.

Considering the embarrassing regularity and bone-smashing severity with which the riders are ejected from their motorcycles, <em>Trials</em> might as well have been called <em>ExitBike</em>. The tricky test of speed, momentum and balance is set to return to Xbox Live Arcade this year with <em>Trials Evolution</em>, a sequel to two-million seller <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/trials-hd"><em>Trials HD</em></a>.<br />
<br />
Finnish developer Redlynx claims that it took its time in "carefully planning and developing" the follow-up before making today's announcement. "We listened carefully to all the feedback we received from the previous game and added it to our own vision of what the ultimate Trials game could be, coming up with a gamer's wish list of must-play features," said creative director Antti Ilvessuo.<br />
<br />
Judging by the teaser trailer posted after the break, it seems gamers no longer want to be alone in leaning just a little too far over the handle bars.<br />
