Trials Fusion (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360)

The $40 version and $20 version are both out today on consoles. PC version is coming later.

Looks like UPlay has been forced into the PS4 game, and naturally, it's up to its old tricks.



And now the main Ubisoft servers are down as well. No access to leaderboards or any online features on PS4.

the mistake was buying it for PS4

By which you mean "buying it". The PC version won't be any better.

I got the console version in hopes of avoiding UPlay.

Doh.

You could have looked anywhere on the internet to find out they all use uplay.

The loading and saving wait times are brutal thus far.

10 seconds to view the leaderboard for each track.
10 seconds to load a track.
30 seconds to save after completing each track.

The PC port of the last game was the same way at launch. I got it later and it's pretty decent.

It looks like the save speeds and leaderboard refresh speeds are now fixed.

The Ubisoft servers are also up for now.

Still no luck with Uplay.

It also looks like Supercross tracks cannot be built in the new version of the track editor.

All I see on Track Central is Trials, Skill Games and Freestyle courses.

So essentially, Freestyle has replaced Supercross.

Decisions like this are just baffling. Supercross was the best mode in Trials Evolution after the main single player career.

Instead of building on or even just retaining a great feature, they've basically torn it down and thrown it away.

Also, I found a workaround to finally getting logged into Uplay.

You have to go to the PS4 dashboard, look at the related tabs on the Trials Fusion tile, and click on the "Bike Hue" blade. It will prompt you to log in to Uplay.

After doing so there, Uplay will now work inside Trials Fusion.
