Bay was a city - based on Hong Kong - but I will like a "Las Vegas style". A lot of lights and a lot of casino ads.


Must be a madness driving destroying poker tables.

Although the Strip looks a bit like one of the TM Island roads

I want Arena, wasn't that the next announced TM2 environment?

Sounds like a new Stadium to me which I like best because of less restrictions with the scenerey and stuff.

Not really. Also see here, especially the last link of that post

Too bad, the restrictions because of the "natural" landscapes are the biggest weakness of Storm and Canyon, IMHO.

Why are there restrictions? You are not forced to use terraforming at all
Beside this, I like those titles, as well as TM Coast, especially because of the possibilities of the landscape.

I can't think of what you mean by restrictions either. The only thing I can think of is that in a closed off Arena environment you could have many different styles of track that might not seem out of place.
I'd really rather see a more open environment that has the potential to be multi style friendly like the Baja Peninsula. Long, Open, Isolated.
Of course in an Arena you could have multiple styles that haven't really been done yet. Trophy Truck - Monster Truck - ATV - Dirt Bike - Off-road Buggy - Go Kart - Radio Controlled... ?

Has anybody ever made a banking bike model for TM? Not that I know of It's too hard to do logistically, right? I'm totally speaking out of my hat here because I've never tried 3D modeling for anything--can't.

not too many environments, otherwise the more there are, only a few would get played on a regular basis and all the hard work gone into making them and all the mods, end up being wasted. I have a steam account and out of the 100+ games I have, I end up only playing a few regularly . just a thought

What I meant are the restrictions of not being able to build roads or platforms where I want int he air without them getting bridge pillars and not being able to to place certain blocks above each other., etc ...

Stadium: Just do it and it works.

EDIT: I admit that it s worse in SM than in Canyon. And no, I don't want bouncing blocks everywhere.

I think I downloaded one once and the bike would lean in while cornering. The head movement was reversed and applied to the whole bike somehow. Of course it still handled like a car so it kind of worked but not really. A bike with bike physics would be fun as either a new environment or an addon to existing ones.
I still think Nadeo could create a few new vehicles, each with unique physics, that could be used in existing TM² environments and loaded in the same way time of day moods are. A unique vehicle with unique physics in Canyon for example would allow for a totally new way of using existing blocks to build tracks. It would be like having multiple environments in one.
