Race on Area 51 in Trackmania²: Canyon Multiplayer Beta

[Flox3K]

Epic-Win :D!

[MoustacheKitten]

Man! That track looked like it was difficult! You'd need to practice a ton of time to be able to drive the whole course without crashing once.

Very nice track and video :D

[Wazzazzle]

I remember this map from the beta. Was one of the best ones.

In canyon you really get more of a feeling of high speeds -- even though the top speed is pretty slow compared to island, the feeling of speed is much greater.

[amokk94]

this is a whoel new game? i mean is it all? 1 world that is canyon and thats it?? oO i want a new stadium thingy *.*

[southport97]

holy shit you can drive!

[kozall]

tight driving and a nice flow in the track!

[ninjaygo]

United or Canyon?

[Dromeracer94]

Yo zooz what your username on TM2 I would really want to be friends with you!

[scott1357901]

sexy game indeed

[The1337nut]

doesn't this remind anyone else of those small hotwheels cars? throwing them around were some good times

[MrWonnabee]

I just don't know, if I should buy it or not... Besides, I just bought Battlefield 3 :-)

But some of my friends says, it's good. but... should i drop out Trackmania United and buy Tm2 instead? .... help me guys..

[kirbynator55]

The canyon is a infinite big area with over 200000 Tracks on it WTF 200000 Tracks in one Canyon

[xXxEnkeixpressxXx]

insane graphics

[CSSPlayer777]

0:53 EPIC FAIL

[Lioyd1rving]

@CSSPlayer777 You're an idiot.

[CSSPlayer777]

@Lioyd1rving you sure ?

[Lioyd1rving]

@CSSPlayer777 Sure as I saw some dude screaming "HURR EIPC FIAL LOLOLOL" at a ridiculously common and intentional occurrence in Trackmania games, AFTER THE FINISH LINE.

[CSSPlayer777]

@Lioyd1rving I did not know where the finish line =)

[etienneb29]

@CSSPlayer777 It's Trackmania. YOU HAVE to make crash your car after the finish line. It's a map maker law =D

[therock557]

Ok, this looks pretty normal... Lots like other videos-HOLY SHIT IT'S A CAVE. A. FUCKING. CAVE.

Y'know what? My Intel HD 2000 was in the minimum req's, I might put off buying a new card just for the sake of this unbelievable insanity.

[josipbabok2]

ONLY IF THIS WAS FREE!!!!!! :( :( :(

[ChromeBallz]

I was just thinking "hey, there's some nice ideas in this track." Also, hi Zooz. ;p

[vtrcamargo]

zooz, put that track on tmx, pls :p

[Zooz00]

@vtrcamargo I'd like to but it gives me an error when i try to upload stuff...

[vtrcamargo]

@Zooz00 :(

btw, cool map! good job! (Y)



[hardarm98]

@Zooz00 You need to calculate shadows before putting it on tmx.

[Zooz00]

@hardarm98 I already did that, and I cannot recalculate them if they are already there.

[lukwisnie]

Is this a Nadeo track?

[Zooz00]

@lukwisnie nope I made it

[postrock]

@Zooz00 your track looks great

[SoerenLorenson]

the only thing that bothers me when looking at all those beta videos is that bad camera position when the car is in air or driving up a hill. why doesnt the camera move up a bit? i wanna be able to see over hood of the car at what is in front of me!

PERFECT EXAMPLE: 0:40 !!!

you can probably switch to another view right?

but i really like that view used in the video, BESIDES that particular problem

[Zooz00]

@SoerenLorenson I don't remember if it is like this in TM2, but in TM1 the replay cameras didn't match the in-game ones. And yes, there are a few different views, like in TM1.

[SoerenLorenson]

@Zooz00 oh ok! :) thanks for the info zoozey! i didnt know that the replay camera is different to the in-game one. i was gonna preorder the game anyways, in any case.

[harl3quinhrl]

OMG the sky looks just so beautiful :X

[SoerenLorenson]

@harl3quinhrl yeah it looks awesome but the clouds are just 2d sprites, you can see that whenever the camera is turning, they never change shape, they just always face the camera XD

[ChromeBallz]

@SoerenLorenson Actually, they're a bunch of sprites in different positions, creating the illusion of a 3d cloud. The only alternative would be volumetric clouds which would make the game a LOT slower, this compromise looks good without costing too much performance :)

[Rovelius]

@ChromeBallz We'll probably get them later as they confirmed a patch for DX11 in the future

[ChromeBallz]

@Rovelius Volumetric clouds are a real performance killer - They will probably make a DX11 renderer, but they won't do DX11 effects. Aside from that, volumetric clouds can be done in DX9.

[Rovelius]

@ChromeBallz I didn't know about volumetric particles being available in DX9 but I've yet to see why they wouldn't add DX11 effects

[ChromeBallz]

@Rovelius For one, they'd be pointless - Tesselation in racing games is something you won't notice at all. It also affects performance and costs a lot of development time, whereas Nadeo wants Trackmania to run on as many systems as possible. According to the Steam hardware survey, only about 6% of gamers actually have DX11 hardware anyway, so it just wouldn't be worth it for a game that isn't about graphics but about racing.

[nitinlkoin1984]

is this beta...heard beta doesnt start unti aug 17

[RobChiquita]

@nitinlkoin1984

[1bboyred1]

[Zooz00]

[TMPassi]

Hey Zooz i am [CMC]Passi!:)

i have a question and i hope you can answer it: Is inTM² Nojump also faster then jump?:o

[Zooz00]

@TMPassi at 19 seconds in this map, yes :P

[TMPassi]

@Zooz00 ok ty ;)

[Caluadan]

the beginning of the map looks really hard^^
