Yes, and now it's gonna look even better and is gonna be more accessible. What's your point? :P

The fact it's almost the same game ? And isn't TM2 stadium pretty accessible already ?

In its own ways, sure. But there are several points you gotta take into account:

1. There are reports that this game will have a free tier. That makes it VERY accessible, just like the original Nations (which is very different from TM2 already!)
2. Maniaplanet's interface is confusing for new players. A simplified UI improves accessibility. (You shouldn't need a tutorial in order to play the game.)

to be honest maniaplanets menu is highly outdated by todays standards.

I think it's just too many features all cramped into the same UI, which makes it too complex and inconsistent.

- I could be wrong here, but I did not read it anywhere. If they did not announce it to be removed, then expect it since all other modes are back as well
Well splitscreen was removed in Maniaplanet 4, and if I remember correctly, someone from Nadeo said it was temporary, but unfortunately it's still not there! I think that's why djhubertus said splitscreen was removed. Personally, I hope to see it back on tracks with this new opus!
