yeah i think a dirt stadium would be really lame, not due to lack of originality, but due to it not having a lot of freedom if nadeo were to do something like that.Alter-Fox wrote:And that's one thing that I think could have been done better with valley and canyon.
The car handling was totally new and that mostly made up for the derivativeness, to me at least.
I think Nadeo making a Trackmania 2 environment based on an environment that's already in Trackmania 2 would be less likely. Not saying it's totally impossible... but in my opinion there's already more than enough Stadium in TM anyway. I'd like to see some more variety, and hopefully originality too.
An environment that was completely dirt-based would be very limited in its own variety, like you're hinting at. It would inevitably end up being expanded with many other types of blocks before it even hit the metaphorical shelves, and then it would be basically... stadium.
I think that better explains the point I'm getting at.
im liking the snow/ice idea people have posted a couple times though. that has the most potential for originality i think. but the issue i see with a lot of other ideas for environments is they arent thought out... like at all. which is why i wanted to get way more specific with the ice/snow environment idea. it could really fit in well with the other environments.
