Video PC

TrackMania 2: Canyon will be out on September 14th, but we were able to play the multiplayer beta and make some gameplay videos. As a reminder, a public multiplayer beta will be available on August 17th for those who preordered the game.

In-game racer. Wow, new genre?

But shit this looks pretty. This remembers me that PC gaming looks so gorgeous. My next PS or Xbox must have this good looking games as Arcade variants. With retail games looking extreme.

Looks pretty insane, but I'll wait for the next Burnout for my "insane car gameplay fix", that's always a safe bet.

Wish they'd release this for console too, but I guess all that free content scares MS and Sony away

It looks fun. This could be downloadable game but it was probably never on consoles so they are not releasing it

We know what in-game means. You just put it completely the wrong spot.

lol not even close man. It looks like hot-wheels racing :p

This is a PC game, you have to see NFS, Dirt on PC. Actually all console racers looks better than this.

indeed, lol. Not to mean there is only one true 60 fps console racer, and doesn't hold a candle to this smoothness.

Looks great. but i see alot of framedrops here and there - hardly consistent framerate... But when it runs fluid it does look really, really nice. The lighting is pretty darn good.

however, I would not compare this at all with your everyday Forza, Dirt, Grid, GT5 etc. They are just completely different games in a total different genre.

Burnout, Wipeout and Split Second are what I would compare this with... but even compared to those games this looks very hollow.

It certainly looks the part, but I'm really not intriqued. Where are the unique selling points that should get me hooked?

Has multiplayer always been like this? No collisions with other cars I mean.
It's something you can turn on/off - atleast you could in the previous version.

Collisions between cars never existed in TrackMania, and never will, it's not the spirit of the game.

Maybe you've been mistaken by videos well edited to show fake collisions, or another game that is not TrackMania.

As I rendered the videos from the ingame renderer, it's fully 60 frames without any drop, maybe it's from your PC/video player. At first some videos had too heavy bitrate for my GTX 570 and seems stutturing a little, then I lowered the bitrate a bit and it was good, with still a great image quality.

FYI, the ingame video renderer allows to have consistent framerate in the video, only adds reflections to all cars (only on yours during gameplay), and better antialiasing (FXAA during gameplay).
While playing with all settings maxed out, the game looks the same, with the exact same pretty good lighthing.

And don't worry, the game will run smoothly on every computer that could run previous TrackManias.

Miguel - cool. thanks for telling. Never used to have issues with the 60fps steams on gamersyde running on my macbook pro, but whatever.

pretty sure on the collision though, even it's been a few years since i last played it. guess my memory failed me. :((
