TrackMania² Canyon ?

Post by JeRyo » 16 Jun 2011, 12:59

Los Angeles, Tuesday 7 June – 2 pm

Install, Gamepads are plugged, everything is ready to welcome the first players.

The Doc and The K are with us, they tested the game and they seem to liking it, but well, we want to have the first impressions from players, from racers, those who perpetuate TrackMania's tradition with Canyon, racing with a simple and fun game, with an online experience full of diversity.

Los Angeles, Thursday, 9 June - 6 pm
Intense three days where we saw that the game works well: the booth with its 8 pods was always full, plenty of journalists came, The Doc and The K are still on board, they haven't disavowed us :)

But finally what is TM ² Canyon? A little of Stadium with Bay, a drop of Coast and something of Desert? No, TM² Canyon is TM ² Canyon, a different environment with its features, its techniques, its gameplay.

TM ² Canyon is the pleasure of riding full speed ahead, in the open spaces of the North american desert in a car slightly heavy and with a surprisingly fast acceleration.

Winding roads where rocks can become tricky obstacles, tracks on the mountainside where one steering mistake may send you crashing 200m below, tunnels ensuring a dizzying speed, and of course wall-rides and loops as fun as unpredictable, everything is there to keep the spirit of racing and a tight control over your car.

And what about skills? Sometimes the right path won’t be enough, you will have to use and, above all, master the drift which, soon you will see, is very important, when speed and curves unite, to win the precious thousandths needed for your victory.

After my intensive training with The Doc & The K at E3, I am looking forward to racing with you on the roads of the Canyon !

Thanks !

JeRyo

sounds good, but I hope the next environment will be completely different. slower, less drifts,...
It was always the diversity of TM that made it great :)

Anyway, I´m excited to try Canyon. ;)

the more and more I read the more and more I wanted to be at E3 :-(
I hate it to live in Germany, our politicans...


well nice report, I look forward to Tm² Canyon. Well ,,we´´ compared Tm2 always to Coast/Bay.. because we don't know the game ( we just saw gameplay/trailers) and we need a reference point to compare tm2 to old tm ;)

So in about 1 month the beta is coming and I hope everyone who get a key ( probably trusted, old members like knutsel, reporters?, winners of funny games) will understand what honor they gat to improve the game ( fix mistakes,bugs..) for other players, so that we ,,normal players´´ can have the best gaming experience.

Yeah, thanks for the perspective! I enjoyed your description of Canyon.

I think we all believe that Canyon will be good enough to be it's own environment, but right now since we can't play, like wiidesire-2 said, we need perspective. I mean we could describe Stadium as a little bit of Coast/Bay/Desert etc., but we all know Stadium so Stadium is Stadium.

Anyway like I said, I like your description. Makes me more excited!

Lol, what do our politicans that you couldn´t visit the E3 ?

I can´t wait to play Canyon. In my view TMUF is getting more and more boring if I hear the news about Tm2.

This sounds rather interesting. Let's see how important this drift will be, when going for league driving. Saw till now only this one ingame drift in the self build map (i can't remember if this was a map by K or Doc, but it was in one of the videos which are somewhere in this forum ^^) and that looked pretty crazy.
Let's see if this drift is somehow different to the tmn drift, at the moment it looks like it is (looks a little bit like the island drift, but with way less speed loss) and this seems to be a good developement. (Prepares to get hit by all "bah, it's not stadium V2 and it's not free" players).

The same thing.

About the description of Canyon: JeRyo gave us a good summary. I also rather haven't thought TM2 was a mix from TMUF environments. Honestly, If we would like to say what mix of TMUF enviros is actually TM2, then we could've describe this game as something weird. So using a word "mix" to TM2 is not proper.

Well for me, the drift is much more sensitive than in TMN, I think, and sometimes very useful if you don't want to know how a Canyon can be deep :lol:
