A friend texted me this morning that he was enjoying it. Bought it on a whim and I am totally hooked now. I need more PSN friends to compare my times to. Add me: luntenfleisch

Got my account stuff figured out. I am loving this game too much. I'm not very good yet, this is my first TM game but I'm having a blast.

Nooot feeling too great about how fast the number of players in multiplayer rooms is dropping off.

I think a lot of people can't purchase from PSN. I know the purchase button never showed up for me. I had to go get it on disc.
Once that gets sorted the numbers should start climbing. A sale wouldn't hurt either.

Press Up on Right Stick, but I'd do that and nothing happens :V
Maybe it's supposed to be Down, Up on Right stick?

Alright, was going to wait on this but the positive press and hype cover got me good. Going to pick it up tomorrow to play over Easter break.

Whenever i get a Trackmania, i only play stadium anyway.
The only thing that handles bad is Lagoon car on sand ground imo. Won't even attempt to get gold on everything because I already struggled with silver on these few tracks.

You guys do know that bunnyhopping only works in Stunt mode, right?
:O
Alright Trackmania GAF, I'm planning to double-dip here, but I'm unsure which version to buy first. A few questions:
Are tracks bound to the account? Can I make a track on PC and then play it on PS4? Can I edit the same track on PS4 and PC? Which Online is more active? Which features were cut from TM², can I still edit replays (I don't care a lot about the features which were cut since they don't affect the basic gameplay, but missing Media Tracker would push me towards PS4)?

To be honest, it sounds like you should get it on PS4 now and pick up Lagoon when it comes to Maniaplanet later.
Will do, thanks!
Frostbeule is streaming/casting Gamers Assembly 2016's Trackmania^2 stadium tournament if someone is interesting and watching some pros.

"so how are we supposed to avoid the engine off pads in every other mode?"
You're not. Coasting sections are a deliberate part of the track design.

Dat feel when u retry a challenge 30 times only to end up with a Gold when you thought you could get Silver.
How the fuck was I supposed to know that smarty pants :V

I had never heard of Trackmania games until I saw the trailer for this one and I gotta say it looks awesome. The sense of speed is ridiculous. Thinking about picking this up today but have some questions first. I can either pick up the PC or PS4 version.
How does it run on PC? is the performance good or does it need patches? How is the multiplayer? Can I get into a room with friends and just race them? if so I may pick up the PS4 version to play agains them. thanks.

Just finished getting my 160th course clear, at least as far as silver medals go. Not sure if I'll ever be capable of getting gold on all 160 tracks to unlock the black series, but I've really enjoyed my time with the single player portion of the game.
Even towards the end I still struggled with controlling my car properly in the air. It's such a twitchy game and the instant the car leaves the ground, you're completely helpless if the trajectory is even slightly off.
If I had to rank the tracksets personally, I'd say:
Lagoon > Stadium > Canyon > Valley
I know a lot of people prefer Stadium because it's the original, but the ridiculous speed of Lagoon really won me over and even the offroad controls didn't seem that bad.

Well, the original environments were desert, rally, and snow. However, Trackmania Nations was a free game and thus was most people's first exposure to the series.

You do get used to it. You have to learn how to corner and drift, it's a lot different than the other cars and harder to master.
Ah. to be honest, Turbo is my first real exposure to the series as a primarily console gamer. The Trackmania that I had heard a lot about was the free one, so I just assumed it was the first, and I knew Stadium was the free environment therefore making it the most popular.
Thanks for the correction though. Always good to be in-the-know.
