Questions & Answers Trackmania Turbo

[i7mean]

Would be great tho, I think a lot of newbies could be interested in discovering the "original" TM

[Mandark]

I wish that any secret/unannounced feature stays like that until release. We need some surprise, suspense, mistery

[TMarc]

What a great reply

your own answer also deserves respect

I don't know how much hundreds hours of fun I've spent playing your games, and I want this to continue

Exactly this
It has been much to quiet around Maniaplanet - Trackmania the last 2 years, despite the incredible work of the few people who still believe in the creative possibilities of Maniaplanet here.

I could imagine well that Nadeo wants to wait how good the response is for Turbo,
and only release TM²-Lagoon when the interest in Turbo decreases.
But, Hylis, please don't wait too long.
3 months sounds fair. 6 months would be a little Christmas extra. But 9? Seriously?
If you tell that Lagoon was there before Turbo, it sounds like Lagoon was already pretty much ready.

Not everyone who already owns all Maniaplanet titles will also want to buy Turbo, and those players will suffer...
Besides this, will Lagoon be a "full price" title like Canyon or Valley, for ~19,99€ ?
if you can't give special discount for all TM + Turbo owners, perhaps you should consider to drop the price of Valley to make it more attractive, especially since it is the least popular title at the moment.

Last thought for now, today I have read the first time of Powerup in combination with Trackmania.
I thought you intended Powerup only for Shootmania?
Or does this mean that Maniaplanet #4 will boost Maniaplanet much more than the previous steps (from MP1 to MP2, or from MP2 to MP3)?

TMarc, maybe because we are in the shootmania year ?
But as You said, I think we can expect something bigger than the rest

If you don't buy Turbo but all you want is the MP version of Lagoon, if think this is the normal price for the title (as Canyon and Valley). But you're right about the release of MP Lagoon, if it was made before TMT, this souldn't come out more than 3-4 months after March, unless the ManiaPlanet 4 brings sooo much modifications and stuff

They wanted ManiaPlanet to group all the Community together...then separate the Community with the PC Version of Turbo having different things than TM2's Environments...

I dunno, it's a bit risky because then you will have the old CS1.6 and CS:S issue where some people prefer to play a specific one, making the community split.

I mean, i'd love this to all work out, but the lack of communication since Valley released...which was ALMOST 3 YEARS AGO...has really made me lose a lot of faith in this ManiaPlanet Project of Nadeo's.

I've been there in this ManiaPlanet thing with you guys since Day 1 of the Open Beta, buying each one at Full-Price and waiting anxiously for the next and now it seems like even you and Ubisoft have lost faith in the Project aswell, hence why there's been nothing to show from you for PC Gamers of TM for almost 3 years.

ManiaPlanet 4 better be worth the 2-Year Wait...

I don't think so, Turbo will lack some of the most competitive features like server controllers and dedimania and whatnot..

I have a question for hylis or the nadeo team.

We've heard that multiplatform PS4 <=> XboxOne <=> PC wont be possible because of the consoles policies.

But what about Xbox One <=> PC or PS4 <=> PC. There are already games who made this possible. What you choose should depend of where you think that you will sell more units. I think this would be the PS4 (Although I prefer the Xbox ).

So why don't enable multiplatform PS4 <=> PC?

[rat_in_car]

This may be in fact better (no dedicated server). If servers will be hosted by Nadeo, then maybe decreases number of lol/short/megashort/stupid maps servers. Maybe. I don't know exactly what it will be made. But if game itself allow made server then probably people who want to make 24/7 servers will have server computers running 24/7 and buy another Turbo. :)

Because this would create confusion that it is possible to do PS4 <=> XboxOne <=> PC while it's actually not possible.
