Trackmania² Stadium Open Beta

[Mikey]

My Initial feedback
- We need the old TMN signs if we are able to do track imports
- podium block is required
- I dont like the cams, maybe cam 1 + 2 are to far back compared to old versions ?
- Graphics are a problem, compared to older versions (which i play on the same computer/monitor). The colours seem more saturated, perhaps a little too much but I can put up with it. But the black levels and contrast are really bad !
Maybe your graphic artist needs his monitor calibrated

+1 for putting back the old 2cam and assigning the new one to another number.
I've also encoutered some problems with the new position of the online timer ( the countdown of the map ), it's so small and sheltered that trying to find it during a drive always bring me to make an error. Please replace the timer in the old position or make possible the option to place it wherever you want.

PS: there're some bugs with the shadows

Yep definitely agree with the cameras, graphics etc... there's a lot that can be done and worked on. Btw, You (the general you) should check out the beta forums where you can give feedback of the game (just make sure you read the rules first): http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewforum.php?f=470

Anyway, I must say; I'm very happy to see a new version of Stadium and I hope for a bright future (especially when it comes to esports).

And I very much like that the game is available on Steam now, I think that will help making it more popular. Also it's cool to see there will be a free-model of the game. Though am I right in saying you can't play online with it? Or did I miss something here.

And new blocks at release you say? Well darn, that's sweet if true.

Only TimeAttack, I believe.

Why is the stadium car a little bit slower than in TMNF ?^^ I test it on my favourite map "A01-Race" and I was +~0.1 slower than normal ... ?^^

I also noticed this probably the start block .. why did they have to change that?

What about old mods and creating transpernce textures? Cause this would create problems for trackmania RPG? Will we have to recreate textures?

soryry for double post but the game crashed when I loaded an old RPg track on my TM2 stadium?

@kripkee and Jadis: I believe Hylis said something about that they have "fixed" the landings or something, which should really impact A01 alot as it's all about the landing.

fixed=tweaked

Hm that may have an effect on the records. But it's also the case on other maps, on TMF A03, for example, I get .64 cp instead of .54, and there is no jump before it...
