Pre-Purchasing Trials Evolution gets you beta access now!

Trials Evolution is an awesome game my friends. Check out Junglist's 5 Inch Floppy, Joaby's excellent review and then re-read that first sentence. See? It's awesome. And after its developers - RedLynx - had a runaway success with the game on the Xbox Live Arcade, they decided to bring it to PC on March 21st as Trials Evolution Gold Edition. Best of all, the Gold Edition is now available for pre-purchase on Steam - and doing so gets you immediate access to the beta!




Ubisoft (who are publishing the game on PC) explained today that during the beta they will be hosting a competition, wherein you can win fantastic, as of yet unnamed, prizes by making beautiful and entertaining tracks using Trials Evolutions' built in Track Editor.

Trials Evolution Gold Edition will set you back $24.99, thanks to the wonderful Australia Tax - but it's still a pretty smashing deal - for that you don't just get all of Trials Evolutions' tracks, you also get all of the tracks from RedLynx's first incredibly popular XBLA game - Trials HD (let's forget about Trials 2 for now.) Personally, I'm looking forward to it and the prospect of joining in the beta right now is pretty tempting. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!

I'm on a fresh format and want was little bloat ware as possible. The beta is running pretty average. Might be an nVidia surround issue. Playable tho, they have two weeks till release I think so I won't complain.
With hindsight I should have held off lol.

Let this be forever the cry of the 'pre-purchase' world!

Squid can I just point out that the beta is all the levels. So effectively I have the full game, just before release.

All well and good, but my dislike of Pre-Order doesn't stem from the amount of levels you get, or the 'pre-order bonus', it comes from the idea of paying for a product based only on the advertising for the item and not on what the item itself is like.

For example, and I'm not saying it will happen, but what happens if they don't fix the 'average running' Beta on release? What if it's another case of: "Who cares, you already paid for it" and you're just stuck with something that runs 'average' until some community modder figures out what the issue is and fixes it?

I'm just pushing for all gamers everywhere to only purchase games that are 100% finished products and meet the standard you would expect from a product you paid for... Not half finished. Not 'will be patched'. Not 'the demo wasn't the finished product'. Not 'day one DLC'. I know it won't happen, but let my tomb stone read: "Tried". ;)
