The instant restart is one of the great features of the game. Playing trials HD, crashing hundreds of times on the same checkpoint of an extreme track, would have been horrible with that extra 3 seconds added after each restart. The instant restart is what allows the game to be incredibly difficult without getting frustrating. Don't listen to these people!!!

Which button on PS4 allows instant restart??
Should be circle (the rightmost face button) to go to the start of the previous checkpoint and the select/back button to go to the start of the level.

Yes, circle goes to checkpoint - thanks. But there is no select button anymore (it is now shared)?!?
It's the left half of the touchpad, that's what sends you back to the beginning of the track.
How much of a head start do I need to give all you light weights before I boot up Trials Fusion and squash your times? The last time I checked out the Trials thread I had an 8 week victory streak with no faults 
No, seriously, how many month head start do you ladies need?
/me hopes all platforms have a unified leader board.
100% correct. Anyone who plays Trials for any extended length of time attempting to Gold/Plat every course knows this.

Thanks! So this is this weird symbol. Will try it today...
Alright Sebbi, I'm back on the team!
The 2nd set of hard tracks are much more fun and just did the first extreme track before shutting it down.
I also disabled the announcer which immediately boosted the fun factor!
I'm still not a fan of the future them and excessive moving platforms and gimmicks on the earlier tracks but atleast most that fluff is kept out of the hard tracks.

Good to hear that
The consensus among hardcore payers seem to be that the hard and extreme tracks are better than ever, but the beginner, easy and medium levels are too easy for seasoned players (too "roller coaster" style). Let me know if you manage to zero fault Inferno 4, I still haven't done that
The team knows that there are some bugs and stupid glitches (like being able to use FMX tricks to improve your time in some beginner tracks) currently in the game. We are committed for this game on long run. There will be several free feature updates (and bug fix patches) coming. I am personally looking at the frame rate problems (in the worst case the fps drops occasionally down to 55. That's not acceptable).

Dunno if you can comment, but are patches and updates free for the next-gen platforms?

I just re-played the very first track an beat Arwin's time
Come on bro, let's fight it out
By the way: left part of touch pad worked for insta replay.

Of course the patches/updates are free
We are introducing many new features after the launch for free. Our creative director (Antti Ilvessuo) just tweeted about the forthcoming new tournaments mode. A completely new multiplayer mode will also be released as a future update. The time schedule for these updates and any other new features haven't yet been announced.
Sorry, I meant free to distribute over the console networks, not to end users. Reportedly these cost on XB360 and PS3, resulting in games not getting ongoing support. I believe the console companies have addressed this and developers are free to roll out patches and updates for customers without a financial penalty, but it'd be nice if you could confirm.Of course the patches/updates are free
Medium tracks are too easy, but the game is still very good. The difficulty curve is a lot shallower than previous games. These tracks are more about speed and jumps. Not much focus on climbing obstacles, varying speed or precise landings. I've heard the hard, extreme tracks are very good. Looking forward to it.
I think the game starts off with enough difficulty. The first tron-like track with all the moving platforms was actually quite challenging. And having 5 other times to compete against really helps too. Many of us simply have too much experience with the game already. But it is still hard to find the fastest way.
I do feel you maintain a bit too much speed during air-time, but I don't have any physics knowledge to back that up. Just feels that there should be more points whereI would be much faster with a small jump and then being able to accelerate than staying in the air.

I saw you used "high quality" FXAA3 in the PS4/XB1 version, could you tell us how much does it cost? (like 0.6ms GPU time...).
Also did you consider SMAA 1x (just the basic morphological post AA) and if yes, how much does it cost, at least comparatively versus FXAA3?

Been playing quite a bit today and still feel this way. Hardest track I encountered so far was one with two green floating objects. It doesn't help that I am determined to do every track faultless before going to the next, but I feel that I need to do it like that, or the later tracks will become to frustrating, like last time when I played HD on the 360.
Also got two times beat by xmu today that I got notifications for, and of course had to beat them right back (thankfully I still could, but that's not going to last
). I secretly hope you guys will do a top down racer sometime, with the same physics sensibility both in controls and track design. Then with both a top-down isometric view and a side view showing the landscape at the same time, it could give the freedom of having a full top-down track with old school Ironman (if anyone remembers) fun?
By the way, good call on the restart button being left press on track pad, works great, really comfortable. And also really happy the war theme is gone here.
EDIT: and now its the same as all the previous games. The difficulty spikes up and the retry counts go up north of 50 per race, and I am no longer having fun and getting too frustrated.
Well, ready to kill someone right now but, at least I have kept making progress, and so far the Expert tracks are much easier for me. Up to the Redlynx Derby now, and calling it a day.
Next time though, perhaps consider designing the tracks so that there are easy, medium, hard and expert routes through them or something, like there are upper and lower tracks sometimes now already.
The hard tracks are great. Pretty satisfied now. Still think the medium tracks are a little too easy. The difficulty ramps up pretty fast from medium to hard.
Don't listen to Arwin! Keep the hard tracks hard. Don't do split routes. The fun in the game is going from 250 fails per run down to faultless.
If you want to up your game, go to the leaderboard and watch some replays. That is still a feature, isn't it?
