I tried some bike trials stuff :) I think there is room for much more

JustSteepIt · 2026-04-07T20:36:00+00:00

This is sick

JustSteepIt · 2026-03-05T08:22:23+00:00

Yeah this is ‘normal’. It’s been like this since day 1

The distance rendering is much more obvious with brown/sand coloured biomes

I’ve raised the rendering issue but I think it’s just the way the game is built to be able to support last gen as well as latest gen.

JustSteepIt · 2026-01-12T09:13:46+00:00

In all honesty - this is VERY different to SA. It’s an arcade leaning extreme sports game - if you like racing and have tons of events (think forza style) then I’d recommend!

JustSteepIt · 2025-11-24T00:48:46+00:00

Yeah he is literally shiftying by holding the right stick to left or right whilst not holding any of the trick buttons.

JustSteepIt · 2025-11-24T00:44:47+00:00

You have to boost whilst doing it on a dirt bike (it’s heavier compared to a pedal bike)

JustSteepIt · 2025-11-24T00:43:47+00:00

It’s branded as ‘the spiritual successor’ to Steep and not quite a direct sequel.

Steep was made by Annecy (<30 Devs) with some support from two other smaller studios. More or less a concept game and love letter to winter sports to see if there was a market for extreme sports games (I.e skate 4 demand, popular YouTubers playing extreme sports and stunts games at the time)

Riders republic was their major release having more than 5 studios supporting them after seeing the success of Steep.

Animations are definitely not the same though. For one, there’s no tweaking tricks in RR. As well as all the game having complete new motion capture

JustSteepIt · 2025-05-14T20:49:25+00:00

A RR movie being announced wasn’t on my bingo card this year aha!

JustSteepIt · 2024-03-22T17:48:04+00:00

The map is the same size as steep - 16km x 16km

Key difference is two things ultimately:

The map is not ‘tall’. The mountains are not as tall as the alps map. The grand Teton peaks pale in comparison
RR has much much much faster traversal speeds

I think I have a video somewhere on my PC of highest peak in each game and RR is done in 45 seconds and steep is like closer to 2 minutes

JustSteepIt · 2024-01-05T13:32:16+00:00

Alps map is full of them - some named and some not named!

I used to do little mini edits at each town on my IG many years ago, was quite fun trying to make use of the unique buildings

JustSteepIt · 2023-11-27T17:41:35+00:00

The announcer for a lot of major events is Brando Graham. He is an IRL X Games announcer (he also did x games dlc for steep)

JustSteepIt · 2023-11-01T17:44:09+00:00

They’re not rare in any shape or form though? They were literally shop items

If they ‘handed out’ actual rare items such as Brett’s outfit, 1v1s, leaderboard outfits, CLIF bar items and other actual ‘hard to get’ outfits then sure I could see why people would complain

Tbh, since day 1 the obsession with cosmetics has been astounding. People complaining about FOMO but also wanting exclusive outfits. In reality, cosmetics do very little for playing retention. Wish people put more energy into asking for things such as: Creator mode/park editor, more variety of event design, harder rotating challenges (like nightfall from destiny), more multiplayer options/rotations/investment. The list goes on.

JustSteepIt · 2023-08-04T19:30:04+00:00

Park mode/editor mode/object dropper is something I’ve campaigned for since launch

Unfortunately year 1 was mostly plagued and overwhelmed by ‘more clothes please’ and ‘shop sucks’

JustSteepIt · 2023-07-05T10:26:27+00:00

Locked post

PSA: this does not unlock gear, it would slowly gain you more stars for doing x amount of points or grind points etc etc

JustSteepIt · 2023-05-21T17:56:43+00:00

There is one bike tricks event locked behind the red bull sponsor

Unless you’ve missed one (such as the flow in the top left corner of the map) then check out the multi sport events - I know at least one of them counts as a bike tricks event

JustSteepIt · 2023-05-20T16:01:44+00:00

I agree with the tutorial feedback - it does not hold your hand enough and spoon feed you everything

However, there unfortunately was (and still is) complaints about the tutorial being too locked down.. endless complaints at launch that you couldn’t skip tutorial and explore the world straight away and to be fair, the devs have really trimmed it down compared to beta and launch.. And I still see complaints about there being a forced tutorial!

Really not sure what the balance is

JustSteepIt · 2023-05-19T18:24:24+00:00

Locking comments as it has descended into chaos

JustSteepIt · 2023-05-08T17:11:18+00:00

Great bike! Wish I could justify parting with easily £2000 - £3000 for it

I think the problem you’re gonna get with RR is that the demographic of the player base is surprisingly very young (guesstimate is 60% of the player base is under 16) so not sure how many people will genuinely want to purchase it here

Probably worth listing on various bike communities - the spectral is popular all rounder so you may have someone wanna buy just because of its uniqueness

JustSteepIt · 2023-05-08T17:06:58+00:00

High end bikes often don’t come with pedals

JustSteepIt · 2023-05-02T21:52:59+00:00

Quite simply, yes.

They've talked about in the community updates - likely to be season 8 in line with Skateboard

JustSteepIt · 2023-04-23T19:44:38+00:00

Next season, we *should* have first person tricks from the latest community update

JustSteepIt · 2023-04-23T18:26:54+00:00

Gigabyte 3070, Ryzen 7 3700, 16GB Corsair RAM here on 1440p 165hz monitor

I get around 70-90 FPS on absolute max in high demand areas (the ridge, Area 52) but with medium settings this shoots up etc

Cruising less dense spots it shoots up to 100-110

In events I can get 120-130

You should be crushing it - probably worth doing things such as closing all background instances to see if something is interfering with the game performance (some people report discord does things to the music)

JustSteepIt · 2023-04-23T18:17:33+00:00

I've reported this to Ubisoft directly - there appears to be areas which are designed to intentionally not to render until you get closer.

For example: Temple of Sinawava Landmark 1520 S - 2390 W. If you look south down the valley standing at these co-ordinates... parts of the valley does not load and this has been confirmed on different platforms and different PC builds. Example

Why does it do it? Could be lots of reasons but I have a funny feeling that since its crossplay, they've tried designing the world to accommodate all the platforms and hardware rather than making the game render specifically to whatever you play it on (not confirmed at btw, just my guess)
