    Trackmania Turbo 2....what Trials fans are getting this one?

    Coming out March 20th...roughly.

    Complete with editor, probably at 60fps.



    I believe the editor allows for cross platform sharing too, but I'm vague on those details.

    Already pre ordered (btw the game cost ~40€, like Trials).

    No cross-Platform tracks unfortunately...
    + 60fps is confirmed

    + I tried the closed beta last week.
    Don't expect to have a "2nd" Trials (even if the game is very close) but if you like Trials, you'll certainly like Trackmania turbo too

    Hey Jeruh. Do you know if there is a real time online multiplayer? I saw the micro machine type race on the above video, but couldn't tell if it was online and a real time race.
    If it has this, the game could be great. 60fps is almost a must for me.
    I know there are obvious differences from Trials, but I bet it's hell fun. I look forward to you beating me badly on this too...haha.

    The whole time I was watching the Trackmania video I was waiting for a tire glitch.

    Physics and gameplay look pretty smooth though.

    Kudos.

    You know there's no way they would let tire glitches be copied into another game without a copyright infringement. haah

    There's some MP @30:20 into the video. The game looks strong. Nothing replaces Trials, but I'm looking forward to this one. March 23rd.
    Ozy Be also played the beta and said it was great. Something about a Trials player who's word I take much more seriously than a regular gamer
    The MP mode shown is a "best run" in 5 minutes, speed run type challenge as magicmix stated. This could have been a great game mode for Trials.
    Hope to see some Trials players on.

    To spam my own thread, I played the Trackmania Stadium demo for PC...wow. Very impressed with the game. This one will be a winner. Addictive gameplay. Good controls. Editor looks decent, but it didn't have the objects in the demo...just roads to link.
    Very similar to Trials with quick runs...over and over. It's not as technical as Trials...of course, but there is a bit of skill and I was on the beginner tracks.

    I might get that one to kill the time before killing spooky dudes in Dark Souls 3 (April 12th).
    It looks really fun

    Most definitely will be getting this. Tried the closed beta and it was epic. Though it's nothing like trails it's definitely worth buying

    Been enjoying this series on PC for quite a long time and will be getting it on PS4 and XBone to support the devs.

    DS3 is easily my most anticipated game this year, will stick by my tradition and buy it for all platforms as I do with every souls game.
