So they say:
Trackmania 2 will be user powered and will also be powered by maniaplanet, and that it is a big ambition.
Trackmania 2 gameplay will be more credible, and maybe a bit more realistic (but not really), physics would be deeper, so it will more react like a real car than TMUF, but it will still be a extremly arcade game(Wallride,Loops,etc).

New concept Online 2.0
Hylis say that it is a program that makes all players energy exist( more power to the community, we can all contribute.), there will be a portal where you can write your own news, articles. (like Youtube, wikipedia, "facebook").
They talk briefly about SM: it will be deep, simple, and fun, it won't be a simulation game, and will be dedicated to competition.

After they just say the things we know: "Maniaplanet is a hard project, it will be the reference in online gaming, and user-powered gaming, etc."
