Reviews of SUF Re-remasters™

Power Station

review:
I just did this yesterday and meant to update with my review but I guess I need a procrastinate exam :wink:

In any case, I would not hesitate to add this to the list of 100% repeatable Re-remasters™.

Positives:

  • Climb/gradient info very well integrated
  • SUF style text/prompts/teases/encouragement
  • The Couchlandrian Donut guy is back!
  • The music in this is one of my faves and it just helps you grind out the power. Soooo glad it’s still here.
  • The onscreen efforts mostly match what is required of us including the Stand prompts.

Could use improvement:

  • there are plenty of missed opportunities for SUF style speech/thought bubbles both when showing the peloton and when showing the lead rider(s).
  • the ending, after 11 “walls” is a bit anticlimactic where teammates approach the finish line and even shake hands just before the finish line. It’s not bad, it’s just that it’s not quite the thrill you’d expect in a SUF video, especially at the very end of the final effort.
  • It would also be nice, especially during the recovery sections, but even during some of the efforts, to have some off-bike SUF related stuff (like the donut guy) instead of the overhead shots of the peleton.
