There has been no word, but we can hope that at some point it may make it over... unfortunately it seems unlikely.

Trials HD is a pretty graphics-heavy game so it doesn't sound like something that would be even operable on most gaming PCs. Maybe if you had something that was really high-end then maybe you could run it but otherwise it wouldn't be worth the effort. On top of that, they would also need a new server for the leaderboards since the Xbox-operated server doesn't (as far as I know) branch off to PC games and they would need to rework the track-sharing system to work on the PC.

All in all, it just wouldn't be a good investment. I'm sure that they might possibly maybe try to release a multi-console Trials game in the future... I hope :)

hehe you can tell your a console lover, you do know that the xbox 360 is a tiny squished pc thats 4 years behind current gen gaming pcs. The pc is just a small market these days for games, only the really big publishers/developers can afford to release a game onto the pc format, and its usually an MMorpg, rts or fps. Might see some market in digital downloads through steam but its tough these days ^^, the money is all in the console market.

Yeah, that's true.
I'm almost a PC fanboy, but it's impossible to deny that Piracy has almost killed the platform. Thankfully we've still got Steam as a little ray of hope.

Steam is a wonderful thing, however I'm having a heck of a time trying to convince my console-loving friends to give PC gaming a chance. None of them are willing to pitch the money for a rocking compy. Either way, I'm satisfied with Trials HD on XBLA, although custom tracks would run much cleaner on my Core i5!! lol

As I said elsewhere I really can't understand why RedLynx isn't porting this. To PC & PS3 both preferrably. Maybe a dev can shed some light on the hurdles and the situation in general?

I imagine there'd be a guaranteed couple hundred thousands in sales, on both platforms that is. And you wouldn't even have to to much porting for PC, since the game uses the same engine as Trials 2 SE (I'm correct here, right?). And it would definitely run on almost any 3 or even 4 year old machine. My PC is now about 30 months old, cost arround 1000€ back then, and it still runs (and will always run) everything in better quality and higher resolution than any 360 or PS3 (except shitty ports maybe... GTA4, I'm looking at you).

How do the Trials 2 SE sales compare to the Trials HD sales exactly? Where they really that tiny that you wouldn't even consider bringing the game to PC? If so, why not PS3?

There was an interview I saw recently which mentioned that Trials HD came about because Microsoft liked Trials 2 and so stepped in as publisher for the development of Trials HD... which pretty much rules out a PS3 port. Microsoft also has less interest in releasing PC versions of XBox games, so I can't see them being interested in getting RedLynx to port it.

For sales figues, Trials 2 seems to be about 110,000+ while I'm sure Trials HD is around 700,000 - 800,000 (?) in a fraction of the time. So I can't see RedLynx doing another game that is a PC exclusive - but we can hope for a dual platform release.

As for the engine, I'm not sure about this but I'd imagine it's a complete rewrite betwen 2 and HD.

I have a wee theory that has no bases in reality, that games which Microsoft put a lot of promotion into (such as with TrialsHD in 'the summer of arcade') are tied down to at least a 1 year exclusivity deal. so I'm still holding a little hope that TrialsHD could eventually come to pc, but it's unlikely.

100% of the game code was rewritten for Trials HD. No Trials 2 game code was used. However we use the same game engine in Trials HD than we used in Trials 2 and in Warhammer 40K Squad Command. The engine has naturally improved a lot from release to release. The physics used in Trials HD was completely redone (Trials 2 used a simple mixed 2d/3d physics engine, while HD uses a full 3d engine), and the graphics engine was finetuned and optimized a lot. It's good that we have our own engine and development tools, so we can constantly improve them.

Trials hd pc rapidshare did not find you the right torrents, try to fine tune your query. At the top you might find some trials hd pc rapidshare alternatives.

Yes, if you want some fake torrents with malware in them... Trials HD was never released to PC, so you cannot find it for PC.

Microsoft's Summer of Arcade 2009 press release included information about exclusivity of the games. All Summer of Arcade games have at least some exclusivity period... found it here: http://www.console-arcade.com/2009/07/1 ... nd-prices/ . Shadow Complex and Trials HD fully exclusive, Splosion Man one year exclusive, Turtles one month exclusive and MVC2 2 weeks exclusive.

Ah, I didn't know about that. Thanks Sebbbi. I guess that clears that one up then, TrialsHD will never come out on PC. I guess I can only hope then that the next Trials game is released on PC too.

EDIT: Oliver, seriously? You come to the RedLynx forums and talk about pirating their games? (and so erroneously at that) :roll:

Until then, this game is not avaible to play.

Don't worry you haven't been ripped off. Trials 2 is the game that came out before TrialsHD. And it's fantastic :)

Good to know, but can any1 then explain why it says that You're purchase is still being processed - Steam will notify you when the transaction has completed.
Untill then, this game is unavaible to play.

And what is a Level Editor ?

Man it really, really sucks to not be able to get Trials HD for the PC.
I have a decent gaming rig. Trial 2 SE runs like a bat outta hell for me.
I also have a Playstation 3 and I understand that Trials HD is NOT available for PS3 either.... dang, this sucks. This is the funnest game I've played in a while.
