TM2 games combined is better [please watch this video Nadeo]

Post by Filipe1020 »

I understand that Nadeo went in a new direction by releasing a single environment since Nations, but personally, I would always prefer the environments from TM2 on the same package, and they could just call it Trackmania 2 that could be the true sequel that it's not environment separated, we could have like, three environments together that it could be even possible to make servers with they own maps combined on it

Here is a video I made to show it further how it could work

If you're curious about my voice, I'm 16 years old and brazillian so yeah, my accent don't help much. :?

Indeed, it would be great but Nadeo decided to follow another way.

I'm quite surprised to see the same price in dollars than in euros (i didn't know the exchange rate was 1! ^^)

Talking about the european prices (those i know), 60 euros is not really twice the price of the 7 first environments. If you bought them at the release date, you would have paid 45 euros (in Europe) for the first TM (Desert, Rally and Snow), then again 45 euros for TMS (Island, Bay, Coast). It makes 15 euros per environment, which isn't that much cheaper than the 20 euros of nowadays and probably follows the average rise of pricing in video games over this time range. I don't take into account the pricing of Stadium that is rather impenetrable, since some got it for free and others paid TMU, while it didn't bring any new environment (but they actually supported stadium doing so).

It would be good to have a package, but only if it makes the full-environment game cheaper than buying the environment one by one (that's usually how bundles work).

I don't know how you've calculated this to €45 and I don't know how to calculate current inflations since TMS came out but I would guess it's more like €65,-. I bought TMS for 65 Dutch florins/guilders/gulden which was almost the same price as it was in DeutschMarks.

All environments are now sold sepperately because of the constant whine of people playing stadiuym only having to buy ALL other environments aswell. Instead of breaking this once so beautlifull game, Nadeo should shut their eyes and ears for those people and deliver a proper game to those who ARE happy to pay whatever they ask for it.

It's hard to believe that each environment are sold separately because of that, and btw United costs $30 on steam so you basicly can buy it twice with the same money for three $20 TM2 environments

How can you compare the price of a 2006 released game (and its actual price in 2013) with the price of brand new games (compared to, when the TMU environments were released)? You see your logic lacking behind? Else, everything that rom and zarexz pointed out is correct.

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to getting a full TM2 bundle in the future, but this would only be a way to go if we have multi-environment servers until then. Else, it won't make any sense to bundle games to only split up the players afterwards.

to update tm, we relesed tmo, tms, united = 130€ (release price) so far, it's 50€ for TM2.
by the way, in US it's HT and in Europe it's TTC. So the difference is not that big you think

and we are working on titles being capable to be multi-env for my return of holiday (how convenient ^^)

It would be as // "*"easy"*" \\ as adding new server filters that would browse servers by trackmania titles, and, If you own the titles specified on filters, you can join the multi-env server.

Filters would be something like this:

Browse servers with packmask TMCANYON
Browse servers with packmask TMVALLEY
Browse servers with packmask TMSTADIUM
Browse servers with packmask TMCANYON+TMVALLEY
Browse servers with packmask TMVALLEY+TMSTADIUM
Browse servers with packmask TMCANYON+TMSTADIUM
Browse servers with packmask TMCANYON+TMVALLEY+TMSTADIUM

Or also, add the environment icon next to the servername so you know which titles you need and which environment maps are on this server.
