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

Yes please talk to her, maybe she wake up then
Well what I saw from all gameplay footage that the drifts are
competely different from Island.
I would even go so far as to say that drifting in tm2 canyon is faster in curves than when you don't drift. That's the opposite of Island: When you drifted, you lost

Also I saw that it's very easy at some jumps to fail with keyboard.
Just look at
http://youtu.be/R_3drens_fU?t=11m5s
With keyboard it's very hard (without training) to drive accurate for example in the middle of the track. That's why the driver here fails at the entire jump, because he can't be as accurate as with controller.
From this it appears that hardcore gamers will need again a controller/joysticks at difficult tracks, against what Hylis?(it could be another developer) said about the handling ( he said it wouldn't be like Rally, where keyboard drivers have an disadvantage).
In the end it was clear for me that I will continue to drive with my Xbox 360 Controller for pc.

I like that fact! Then it should be a bit more like in Island, where it is much fun to drift, despite the big loss of speed

Thank you.

I'm happy.
I thought, TM2 has a similar physics like Coast.
Because the cars looks like the Coast-Car and I don't like Coast.

Thanks for the report! It was fun to follow NADEO as you went through E3 (I was totally jealous I couldn't be there.)
I'm glad you had such a warm reception for TM at E3.
I'm stoked to see how well it takes off in the USA now that it's gaining exposure here.

For the third time: WANT
Seriously it looks, and sounds (both in-video game sounds and also the info

) absolutely epic.
I've already written the music for my first Canyon track -- first meaning after making some small stuff to try out the editor and make sure I know how to build something good. (You can hear the song I wrote here, actually:
http://soundcloud.com/diamond-paw/hive-mind).
If the release is in September then I'll be back to University so I won't have much time to play because of studying

. But I have a well paying summer job right now so I know I'll have the money to buy it as long as I can use paypal

.

I'm looking forward to make a track, that, for the first time, a lot of people will award it. I hope it'll happen.
