futuristic city with powerful motorcycles, sound damn cool. fast acceleration, tilting on turns, backwheeling, etc.

Like a "Tron Style" futuristic Cycle with some cool Nadeo twist to it?

One thing I liked about the Bay environment was some of the buildings could be made as big and tall as you wanted (within env. limits).

What if there were lots of City and shore elements as ToaOfJustice suggested and as nikooo26 mentioned, some suburban dirt areas (or part of the sandy shores) and as Omnixor mentions a powerful and fast bike but also, what if as the bike moved from city onto sand or dirt it morphs into a hi-tech enduro and back when returning to pavement?
Suspension could extent and retract. Tires could balloon a bit or knobs could extent out and retract back. A wind shield could even retract in while on dirt/sand.

OMG TrackMania² Future, here we are!

No too futuristic. Nadeo always stays in an alternate present. I think?

Love this idea too. It could even be called Trackmania 2: City With A Motorbike, and it would still sound bad--s. The only thing is I wouldn't be able to bear not writing the Nadeo music for an environment like that.
For futuristicness, canyon was arguably nearfuture-istic. That was one of the (many) things I loved about it.

BUT! Why should we need to compromise and combine the last two ideas that are completely great on their own? They're two completely separate ideas! Nadeo's "if all goes well" plan (which I remember from TM-Forum a long time ago and also from their blog a few months ago) has them making at least three more TM2 titles. So if they're looking and they think these are as good ideas as we do they can make both.

I'm stay strongly with the idea of a metropolis, like Las Vegas or Chicago (or another enormous city - except Hong Kong, Bay was based on Hong Kong), but I imaginated a title mixing the racing theme of TrackMania with the futurist environment of Storm.

I'm not thinking about cars with guns shooting at other cars, but I'm thinking of reusing the ShootMania environment to a new environment in TrackMania. It sounds strange, but it would be interesting.

Yes. Those are all great ideas.

Alter-Fox: I wouldn't mind seeing both Future City and Shore as separate environments. But I would really appreciate it if Nadeo implemented a feature into Maniaplanet from the original TMUnlimiter, which allowed blocks to be added from any environment into any map. (I demonstrated that feature in Bayside.) That way, the futuristic buildings could be added into a Shore, Canyon, or Valley map.

MatheusKS: TrackMania Storm? Yes, I'd go for that.

I like how you did the track "Bayside". It's a cool concept.

I've added:
CITY: .............. High speed Bike/Sport Car. Lot's of scalable buildings, neons, wide streets & narrow alleys.
as an env to the front page "wish list". If the majority of people like how it's listed I'll keep it the way it is. If not I'll adjust it. After all this topic is not about what I would like but what WE would like to see in the future.
The suggestion of wide streets and narrow alleyways is an assumption.

And, if it's a bike, we need small items like cones, jump pads (like Valley), ramps...

-Low Gravity Space With fast speed tracks and very big edit distance (2000 speed max.)

-Sky/Heaven Like place without ground only big clouds and futuristic flying jets/rocket engine cars with big rings and earth gravity. (1500 speed max. and 800 is normal speed)

I think that you have taken too weed
