The TrackMania series is a racing game oriented around user-created content. Hundreds of thousands of tracks have been created thanks to the simple and easy to use ingame track editor.

Trackmania Nations is essentially the demo version, which is free and contains only one environment. Trackmania United is the full version, and contains all 7 environments from the previous games (Original, Sunrise and Nations) along with various enhancements, each with their own unique style and car physics.

Racing in Trackmania is based purely on skill. There is no car setup and all cars in an environment are exactly the same. There are also no car collisions in multiplayer, allowing for well over 100 people to be racing on the same track on the same server. It's insane.

Download TMN off of Steam here!

Trackmania 2's Canyon environment is released in September, but they're having an open beta that you can enter if you pre-order at trackmania.com.

Does anyone else play these games and love them as much as I do?

Balls I still have to complete Sunrise.

I got bored of Nations though, mainly because when I started playing I managed to rank 17th in the national rank, but then I completed all offline tracks and the brazillian-created tracks started becoming completely retarded.

I love the game's concept, but I wish I had 3D glasses and a wheel controller :V
The game must bve so fun with the 3D anaglyph on

I still play these games with the keyboard :V

Also I ranked 1st place in my state once...because I was the only one in my state that played the game :<

I was also the only American to get into the private beta for United :3

Me too, that's why I want a wheel :V

wooterz · « **Reply #4 on:** August 17, 2011, 05:53:53 AM »

I really can't imagine playing a game like this with a wheel, it seems far too fast paced.

I played this game in the past, it's...Hard. XD Like, the IBWTG of racing games. It's interesting, but some of the levels make me question the sanity of some people, including the original creators. I also kind of get irked at how to cars turn, sometimes I can't turn them far enough to make a turn and keep my speed up for a hard jump...Yeah, it's a good concept but I don't see it as my kind of game. Unless someone is willing to gift it to me on Steam. :V

I still play TMNF. Usually this happens when I try to get author medals (low graphics are low).
Unlocked every track except E04, and I probably never will unlock it. Freezone servers refuse to give me LP. Stuck at 2204LP, need 5000 for E04. Fuck you Nadeo.

I am definitely buying Trackmania 2.

wooterz · « **Reply #7 on:** August 17, 2011, 03:43:31 PM »

I was finally able to buy TM2, downloading now :3

That's the one I have turning problems with. :< Also, the custom-made tracks are as confusing as heck.

They tend to be, yeah. I have no idea why people don't seem to use signs properly...

wooterz · « **Reply #11 on:** August 18, 2011, 05:13:43 PM »

Sorry for double post and etc, but I've made a quick TM2 video. You'd better like it because it took 6 fucking hours to render :\

Oh god if one day I looked in the sky and saw 0:38 :getdown:

HakureiSM · « **Reply #13 on:** August 18, 2011, 05:30:22 PM »

Cars fucking everywhere man

Beautiful.

wooterz · « **Reply #14 on:** August 18, 2011, 05:35:50 PM »

Thanks, it's 22 replays I made and stuck together on one of my own tracks :V

Oh yeah, new trackmania exchange open for TM2 :3

An Odd Sea Slug · « **Reply #15 on:** August 19, 2011, 08:35:33 AM »

Yeah, uh, I need to play this more. I'll grab TM2 in the future definitely, but its really not a priority.

wooterz · « **Reply #16 on:** August 20, 2011, 06:16:23 AM »

Have a screenshot I took of a 70-player server.

2FPS :3

HakureiSM · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2011, 07:57:59 AM »

I swear that lighting looks beautiful

wooterz · « **Reply #18 on:** August 21, 2011, 05:34:12 AM »

I still think this is one of the best looking games released this year.

Gc · « **Reply #19 on:** August 30, 2011, 07:42:36 PM »

Just bought/tried Canyon. All I can say is that drifting is awesome.

My nickname is "Gamecubic" on ManiaPlanet, if you want to add me.
MotK group ?

wooterz · « **Reply #20 on:** August 31, 2011, 12:27:50 AM »

I think I'll make one, but what should it be called? ManiaMaidens?

ManiaMaidens?

Could work.

Won't suggest a name because I'm horrible at naming things (see: current shmup project is titled "SpessShooter")

wooterz · « **Reply #22 on:** August 31, 2011, 12:50:34 AM »

And done. Group name is ManiaMaidens. PM me for the login and password and stuff.

Oh yeah, thanks to my new computer I was able to render this in just under 7 hours. Woop.

Servers are back up now, also hooray you finally got it :3

So uh, I decided to install TMUnited on my new computer and uh...what the hell is with the sound?

In another note, custom car skins are rendered useless in Trackmania Canyon. The "track end result screen" has been changed in today's update and does not show any car.

Because let's be serious. Nobedy ever looks at skins while racing.

wooterz · « **Reply #26 on:** September 05, 2011, 02:39:40 PM »

...there was an update today? I didn't get it...

Gc · « **Reply #27 on:** September 05, 2011, 04:11:25 PM »

nowait nevermind. Nadeo added a few track blocks in Beta 4, including a podium block. If there's one in the map, you get a shiny ending with every car displayed, otherwise you don't. Thing is, every track ever (except the 3 original Nadeo tracks) has not been updated/fixed.

Gpop · « **Reply #28 on:** September 05, 2011, 04:35:28 PM »

Was thinking of getting Canyon, but I wanna know about the full version first. I'm sure there was a release date for the full TM2 game, but what if I bought Canyon first? Will there be a discount or something?
