I remember playing Trials Fusion with some classmates back in the day. I remember the absolute dumb fun we (or at least I) had with the game. I now want to go back and actually play the game for real as intended. Simply hearing the "Welcome to the future" at the end of the video sent a massive nostalgic wave of chills through my body. I need to own this game now!
Today i learned that some of my favorite childhood games were made by Finnish devs. I feel a little ashamed that it took this long since im Finnish myself. Ive been clouded by all those memes about "What is wrong with Finnish game developers" and then list totally normal games like Ultrakill, Cruelty Squad and Barotrauma. Good to know we have some "weird" and "sadistic" game series like Trials aswell.
so happy to watch someone discover the magic of these games. You did it with respect, appreciating the challenges and community. And the best part is, there's always more, always new challenges. The community has built some tracks that only a handful of people even can think about attempting, often only 1 or 2 people being able to actually pass them. But really it's about your own improvement to overcome ever growing challenges. These games offer endless gameplay.
I absolutely love seeing people get into this game still, it has been one of my favorite franchises for about 10 years now and I even made it to top 1k on the trials rising leaderboards a couple years ago
The last video I saw from this channel was 3 years ago... WTF WAS I DOING! Your videos are all bangers somehow! I didn't take my eyes of the screen for a second! Major congrats on completing this game and also major congrats on making such an appropriately great video on it!
I remember spending a whole weekend trying to get up one very difficult ramp in the 1st Trails game in the 360 arcade. Mad props you make these games look easy but I know the insane amount of technical prouesse needed to do these tracks
It makes me feel so old that basically everybody here thinks trials was a console game from a decade ago. It was a java game made over 2 decades ago and was free on miniclip. Can you imagine some little kids telling you theres this new game just come out in 2024 on ps5 called candy crush. Thats what its like for me hearing you right now.
Kudos to you sir, I’ve been playing this game since launch, I was even part of the number 1 team on Xbox with annihilate at one point but I am still to unlock anger management
Phenomenal video! A few years ago I couldn't stand Trials Fusion. I expected a casual BMX game and instead got my ass handed to me. I hope to one day achieve this 100%. I'm 46/51.
Surprisingly people still play this game… I am playing it since 2015 and still playing it! The Multiplayer has around 200.000 tracks built by players 😅
I remember this game vaguely, I also remember the early trials games (or something like them) being flash games, with all the secrets and charm its really clear that this game was built with that early flash game mentality "i want to make something FUN" then they updated it, improved it, and made it better until it was good enough to be sold for money, and I believe they were successful.
One of my favourite games of all time! The platinum medal on way of the machine is the only medal that still alludes me. Loved the video and the nostalgia it brought back.
Nice to see another video from you, and about time someone made a video about this game, might pick it up eventually in the future I really enjoyed Trials Rising
Fun fact: Trials is actually based on a real sport called (Motorcycle) Trials. It’s basically climbing over difficult obstacles on a motorcycle. It kinda reminds me of mountain goats lol
It was so hard writing up a guide for this game. The game just clicked for me and really wasn't that bad, I was done with it in roughly 53 to 55 hours with all DLC included. And after asking around it was so drastically different for everyone else. I know a few who were around 150hrs, 200hrs, but thats all DLCs... So what do I put for base game? I ended up putting 90hrs but I feel that may be a bit misleading for many. Grats on the 100% btw and so awesome to here you stay after it. Its exactly what I did and still come back to the game as its just so much fun and the skill ceiling is just absurd. That slide at 1:06:52 was so nice btw
Thanks for all the nice words :) I can imagine this being a difficult game to write a guide for, but i thought you did great job, I used it a lot. And yeah that slide is super tough to hit haha, pretty happy with my 27.2 on that track
MAAAAN SO HAPPY FOR YOU, i love this channel since the crypt of the necrodancer video, i love how you comentate..... Good luck in all of your next trophies
Just stumbled upon your videos today. Watched a cod one now this one. Love your video style and effort. Keep up the good work! Trials fusion is an amazing game I’m only missing the challenge one. You’ve inspired me lol
Quality video: I need to go back and replay this game. It's so good. The soundtrack is iconic and i will never forget the songs haha. You have to give us the same video for trials rising now ;P
Awesome Video!! I love watching people face the challenges that Trials games have to offer and seeing all the hidden details the developers included that make it such a wonderful game !!
I think my favourite part of the trials series is the skill progression I've been in the franchise since trials HD, and whilst the trophys were a fairly quick run through for rising and fusion, theres still so much that feels impossible, and ninja tracks are just so fascinating for that exact reason
I was ranked in the global top 10 overall on PS4 for a short time, and was also the owner of the #1 ranked team for a bit, and have waaaay too many hours in this game over the years lol. It was a fun trip watching you play all these old tracks.
Welcome to the future! Honestly there's been no game that has had me more pumped on boot-up than Trials Fusion. As great as the game is (and Rising for that matter) I think that boot up and theme does so much to amplify the experience. I'm never 'not in the mood' for whatever the game throws at me after I've loaded in, even if I may be hesitant before starting up a session my mood will switch up so quick. The game itself has beautiful flow and I think my favourite tracks generally are the ones labelled 'hard', that balance IMO between obstacle and flow. I appreciate the obstacle nature of extreme (and ninjas) but flowing a good time on a hard track feels like nothing else. I am curious what your next challenge is, I'm presuming maybe it's ninja related from the snippets but maybe it's all diamonds in Rising? I know that's a pretty intense accomplishment and one I had at one point considered approaching myself if it weren't for my *ahem* 'rising' backlog *badum tsst*. I also want to congratulate you on another great video, your videos are so well put together and I'm able to stay engaged for the lengthy runtime. I look forward to seeing what's next in store if you succeed at it. Good luck!
Funnily enough I found way of the machine to be somewhere in the middle of the extreme tracks difficulty wise. It could be due to me spending countless hours trying to do the original extreme tracks in under 50 faults total between them (before dlcs came out). Watching this video made me really want to pick up a PS4/5 to play this game again
I find it always amusing how new players have to deal with this game’s challenges. Something that I speedran a lot many years ago and had the world record for getting all base game challenges in 2 hours 4 minutes for a while. I also tried it with every single DLC and that took 8 hours.
I feel like you're just able to get me interested in any game ever. Your original "3 challenges" video got me into challenge hunting in the first place, and although I had never heard of trials fusion, and it was the game that interested me the least from that video, it stuck in the back of my mind. Eventually I joined a site dedicated to challenge hunting, and of course Trials Evo, Fusion, and Rising were all pretty notable entries on there. Eventually I was looking for a secondary grind to work on besides celeste, and decided to pick up trials evolution. I then worked my way through trials rising, getting all the gold medals in that game, and now I'm on fusion, which unfortunately is probably my least favorite game in the series so far, but still good nonetheless. I just wish the tires had more grip lmao. And I agree with you about the FMX stuff. I'm currently stuck trying to get the gold medal on way of the machine, it's pretty brutal. But maybe I'll come back to it and try again. These challenges look pretty cool, and I'd love to be able to do them someday. Anyways, just wanted to say thanks for making all these videos, they're a huge inspiration and set me on the path to where I'm at right now in my challenge gaming journey. I've picked up most of the games you've covered on this channel lol, and I eagerly await any future videos :)
This is one of my favourite comments ive gotten on the channel, really cool to hear you getting into games ive covered. With trials games you basically have an endless amount of potential challenges you can do so youre in the right place as a challenge hunter hahah. You planning to do farewell golden on celeste btw?
@@xArchivist Yeah I've got about 100 hours in it right now. I've always had a bad mindset when it came to practicing, and I much prefer to just put in attempts, so it's definitely taking a bit longer than it could have otherwise lol. Keeping up the motivation can be tough but I'm starting to see progress again, so hopefully it won't be too much longer :)
Awesome video I love these games lol. Sidenote, but this challenge 20:50 is a reference to an Xbox 360 arcade game don’t remember the name of it though.
For any of the challenges where you can't lean, using the roach was always a massive boost for stability and the weight kept it planted during any ramps or jumps. I never got to try the extreme maps when they were introducted but 100%'d the game when it first came out, no dlc and found generally the roach could get through 99% of the maps pretty easily where as the pit vipers required for the technical stuff. Really wish i knew about some tech like the throttle trick to pump the back wheel up but thankfully the control you have with the viper carried me without. Really great vid man, if you ever end up with other trials games try to remember you can usually use a range of bikes for the individual challenges. You could of saved a good few hours with the stability of the roach for most courses. I tried a good few community maps and for hillclimbs the roach is almost unbeatable unless you need to do some *wild* moves
I remember starting trials fusion in like 2013 2014, and trying to get plat on Inferno IV, it took me like a year or so, and now im in the ninja stuff, like wow im old bro
While I still prefer Evolution to Fusion, it's an incredible game in its own right. I loved the challenges too, despite never coming close to beating all of them lol. It was a nice way to build on the occasional secrets from Evo and HD
Very good watch, it's a game that never stops with an infinite learning curve. The sense of accomplishment you get here can't be beaten by other games for me. If anyone's interested in ninja tracks, I've uploaded around 800 ;)

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE 1:06:48 that outro gave me goosebumps! Great video!
A great tune for a great game!
Kudos to you sir, I’ve been playing this game since launch, I was even part of the number 1 team on Xbox with annihilate at one point but I am still to unlock anger management
What was your name? I was JDMSambo i was like 50th in the world on Xbox at one point :)
Welcome back! Hyped for the video
not a single ninja track in sight. lets see you pull your hair out trying to complete some of those
Insane video. Very well edited and watching your skills grow was truly a gift for us :')
I can tell an insane amount of effort went into this video and I loved watching every minute of this! Great video!
Phenomenal video!
A few years ago I couldn't stand Trials Fusion. I expected a casual BMX game and instead got my ass handed to me.
I hope to one day achieve this 100%. I'm 46/51.
A new Archivist video is a means for celebration! So good to see you post again
One of my childhood games turned out to be nightmare for trophy hunters
Surprisingly people still play this game… I am playing it since 2015 and still playing it! The Multiplayer has around 200.000 tracks built by players 😅
Ninjas are basically endless gameplay
I remember this game vaguely, I also remember the early trials games (or something like them) being flash games, with all the secrets and charm its really clear that this game was built with that early flash game mentality "i want to make something FUN" then they updated it, improved it, and made it better until it was good enough to be sold for money, and I believe they were successful.
man this video was crazy good for such a small channel, respect man
One of my favourite games of all time!
The platinum medal on way of the machine is the only medal that still alludes me.

Fun fact: Trials is actually based on a real sport called (Motorcycle) Trials. It’s basically climbing over difficult obstacles on a motorcycle. It kinda reminds me of mountain goats lol
As a trials nerd it was awesome to see your skill progression, from "no don't do it like that" to " yes, exactly like that"!
It was so hard writing up a guide for this game. The game just clicked for me and really wasn't that bad, I was done with it in roughly 53 to 55 hours with all DLC included.

@xArchivist What rank does that put you at if I may ask? I don't game on ps at all anymore so can't really check my time to compare.
@@lilpain1997 Im at 73 on global, though of course thats just among ps users since its not a cross platform leaderboard

Good to see you back 👍🏻
i used to play trials frontier when i was a teen with no consoles. might pick this up cause i used to love that game
It's always a glorious day when one of your videos comes out. From a long time subscriber, thanks for this banger and see you for the next one!

Congratulations man, and good luck on the Rising Ninjas
Finally new vid🎉
Nothing beats the level of humbling quite like beating your first extreme track and then finding the blazejp's GDQ speedrun .
I’m so proud to be one of those 340, I loved this game so much and I love to 100% games. This was very fun to do
My feed has been blessed by this gem of a video
:)
Watched this whole video even though I don't care about the game, you got some talent lol 😂
:)
500 HOURS! DAMN, CONGRATS!
500 hours is nothing, like what the actual fuck - this is a god tier feat.
-How many mechanics do you want in the game?
-Yes
Congratulations on completing the game it was worth the wait to see you get the platinum trophy 🎉

Crazy I played a version of this game back in school on the computer in like 2000
One of the best games ever made
Why do I feel like I watched the best video made about this game so far?
Welcome to the club! It's definitely a real tough one :)
GG. This game is my home
I feel this perfectly describes what this game means to me
Excellent way of describing how you feel about the game, it's how I felt about Motorstorm back in the day as well.
Amazing video!!
i love your videos
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE
just started watching the vid and i remember how hard this game was and im just thinking poor guy trying to get 100%on this gonna be hell
Really good video 👍
Great video, can't wait for the next one.
FANTASTIC video! GG!
This is a great video man
Loved Trials Fusion !!! WELCOME TO THE FUTURE…. MAN, MACHINE, THE FUTURE !!
FMX if you've not aware is FreestyleMotoCross and you meant Sadistic not masochistic (masochists enjoy pain, sadists enjoy inflicting it)

Happy to see your not dead.
This game still has a decently active Ninja community behind it we have a discord
You're my favorite channel on yt :)
Idk if you've tried any but if you haven't yet you should download and try some ninja tracks.
48 tries on inferno is actually pretty impressive for a new player and a rare effort, most abort before
Awesome video I love these games lol. Sidenote, but this challenge 20:50 is a reference to an Xbox 360 arcade game don’t remember the name of it though.

Hell yeah!
I like how you say the rest of it was doable, but your death count jumped from 105 to 294. 9:55
I remember starting trials fusion in like 2013 2014, and trying to get plat on Inferno IV, it took me like a year or so, and now im in the ninja stuff, like wow im old bro
While I still prefer Evolution to Fusion, it's an incredible game in its own right. I loved the challenges too, despite never coming close to beating all of them lol. It was a nice way to build on the occasional secrets from Evo and HD
17:20 Busted my ass out. Best reference ever.
This game made me rage so much, and when I look for video's, people are glitching the bike to complete the hardest stages.
Sick vid bro
this video had made me wanna try and go for this 100% aswell
There were also ninja tacks, if you eject at the end of a zero fault run on every extremes
this game's difficulty was an insane leap from Evolution (the trials game before fusion)
Very good watch, it's a game that never stops with an infinite learning curve. The sense of accomplishment you get here can't be beaten by other games for me. If anyone's interested in ninja tracks, I've uploaded around 800 ;)
The only thing that stops are the servers 🤣😭
@@Katpasniss don't jinx it
Welcome to ninja tracks
Ninjas are peak gaming. So cool to see someone giving the games some love
@@OldClam5 y i love trials. Don't know how many hundreds of hours I've played that game
You should try to pass the community track Ascension. All time classic ninja track
Yeah. I've been playing since Trials HD. Trials Rising is the only game I haven't 100%
I'm glad it's not just me that wanted to jump off a cliff
Oh cool, currently in the middle of redoing it myself on PC
I would like to get 100% on every mainline game of the franchise
Trials 2 is the main game that is scary... The achievement in that game honestly make Fusion look tame
This game still looks pretty good for being 10 years old
"How does this even resemble a racing track?"
It's called "Trials" ;)
"10 years ago" wtf
Top roach took me a 6h grind 😀
If you like this type of game
Have you tried the trackmania franchise?
Ye I have the plat for trackmania turbo, love that game
Proud to say I have this trophy 🏆
I got the online trophy cuz you make me crazy, talking about this game on X 😂 now it's time to try this 100%
The way of the machine took me so long to platinum
I remember trying this on the Xbox 360 I never got it until I had to redo all track challenges on the Xbox one about 7 years later
Fusion was way better than rising imo
Fire vid o7
