It's very annoying that the ranking is broken. I am no. 1 in Denmark according to the stats and I'm not even halfway through the game (have 10 trackmaster, 50 gold etc) so must be someone who is further in the game than me.
Have heard of many who is ranking no 1 in UK at the same time also

How is this game? Just got $40 on PSN and this looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
Downloading the demo, but don't be able to play for an hour. Just want to hear some quick impressions.

That's terrible. Makes the whole thing worthless. If it says I'm #1 I don't want there to be 10 other people who are also #1.
I'm using Google Play Music through Plex DLNA through the Media Player app on the PS4.

Plex can do Google Play Music? Didn't know that, that's cool. Do you need Plex Premium for that?
No, you can use the free version. You just need to install a custom Google Play Music channel from the Plex forums. I can write up a guide later tonight after I'm done with Easter shit.
Says I'm 3rd in Sweden in-game, what are the chances of top 3 in Sweden being on Gaf? I think it's sort of broken
Maybe different rankings per platform maybe, you both on Playstation?Also, says I'm 1018:th on the website, as it's not updating my stats at all...
Yeah, I'd say so. If you're going to be building courses, TM2 is actually designed around a mouse so it's superior there. You also get crazy mods, player-owned servers and the replay editor.
Turbo's worth a buy on PC to get a look at the Lagoon environment before it's moved to TM2. Turbo also has a far better UI, especially for controllers, and I like the silly aesthetic differences in the environmental design.

Cool! How does that even work? Does it somehow scrape your GMusic library and create a DLNA library from it? Do I need to give it my Google password? Not sure about that, if so.

Yeah, the site hasn't been updated for over 12 hours. Super useful thing, that.
Thanks tm2 is only $20 right now so I'll grab that
Exactly that. With Google 2-step you use an app-specific password, so it doesn't have your actual Google password. Still a risk to be sure, but the code is open.

So the website only updates stats once a day? It hasn't updated since around 5 AM GMT this morning, and it's now past 7:30 PM GMT. Useless.
Ok!
Ok!

Never knew that! This game is something else, i have always been pretty good at tricky time trial games, i have several top 200 times over all the games, best i ever got was 11th on an evo track, im up to race 65 and this is kicking my arse.
Haha yeah. The signs around the tracks that says "Easy to learn. Hard to master" isn't lying
That's only for stunt mode right?

This happens on ps4 if i go into standby
omg yes, I just finally got gold on that track and came here to post the same!
You can tell before you join by the symbol on the right. I think it's red for stint, black for normal. Maybe the other way round...
There are a couple of other modes too but they are rare

UGHHHH. I played the Demo, and it's a lot of fun but idk if I want to buy it or keep the $40 I have on PSN for something else...
Like that was some fun shit right there, and a great party game.

This is my first trackmania - bought it on the strength of the eurogamer - and my goodness, what a glorious thing this is.
Kind of feel the same, although valley is finally growing on me (only took until red series...)
But yeah the progression is stupid in this game

My game has stopped showing my global and track ranking after finishing a track. Just another broken thing, I guess. Hope we get a patch soon.
Black is stunt mode. Which I will never, ever voluntarily do. Terrible addition to the series, just like when they added FMX to Trials. Get out of here with that trash.

Same here, I like Canyon the most because I find drifting the most fun. No squirmy cars that have their life of their own when you turn a little bit.
Lagoon is fine as long as you don't have to drive on dirt though.
I'm definitely glad I got this for 10 on Amazon during a price error since I don't really like half of the content.

Am I correct in saying that you would need to achieve all Silvers to do this?

Will securing enough bronze net me a gold joker, or do I have to get multiple silver qualifications?

Give u a gold or silver medal for that stage even if u didnt achieve the goal time to earn the medal

Nice work man, I got bronze and am struggling with Silver, will nail it eventually though
Yeah, I usually start a challenge on Gold after a Silver, and check the time that way, but totally agree that there should be info about how far you were from Gold when you finish the track.
Also need more info/better info displayed in online play. Should have your time displayed in LARGE letters, in the middle of your screen, after you finish the track, with info about how far off you are from leader, or how far off you were from your best time.
Right now it shows leaderboard for a few seconds, with your best time, and your current time, in small letters under the leaderboard, so it's hard to see how far off you were on your best time. And no easy way of seeing how far you are from the leader.
They however thought it'd be a great idea, spamming the left side of your screen with "Hello!" messages from 100 players whenever someone joins the server...
