Oh my.
I wasn't following it before but now i'm suddenly extremely excited.

Looks great.
I will provide a slight bit of criticism about the visuals, however. One little thing isn't quite right, and it has to do with the vehicle contrast against the road. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'd wager it's the lack of ambient occlusion around the vehicle.
edit: yeah, pretty positive it's the lack of ambient occlusion. When there's no shadow in between the vehicle and the road, the vehicle almost looks like a 2D cutout against the road. A bit of AO around the vehicle would go a long way to enhance the image.

The closest games I can think of are Trials and Supet Meat Boy.mblitek said:
The aim in the game is largely the same: getting the best times in courses comprised of twitch, accuracy, an acrobatic challenges. The game is about replaying and replaying as you try to perfect your run to get the gold medal.
The game blends racing and frustration platforming elements very nicely.

It is a time trial platformer with cars, not a head to head racing game. There are ghosts, but no AI.

"Pass"
There's no point in having AI in the game, there's no car collision.

every other developer should be forced to watch this trailer.
not because the graphics are so good (though they are) but because the person playing the game is so good. i'm sick and tired of watching people crap at games demoing them, and it's very refreshing to see someone ridiculously good demonstrating it.
<3 Trackmania. Bought the original the day it came out in the UK. will be day one on this one.

race against the clock. race to get better at racing, not to overtake stupid AI.subversus said:

You race against the track, not against AI.subversus said:
It's all about mastering the line, the power sliding and learning to make use of the zones at the edge of the track.
The learning curve is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge and amazing. <-- this part makes it an actual video game, and not another pathetic gold star everyone is a winner cinematic 4 hour QTE.
There would be no point in playing a game like this against AI, just play it against other players , learn from their lines etc.
Wait, are you being completely serious about this or is this some sort of stealth troll? Do you really expect AI in this game? This is one of the few instances where a racing game doesn't need AI, nor would the inclusion of AI benefit the game in any way.subversus said:
My eyes melt from the beauty of it all.
The drifting looks oh so smooth and capable, I look forward to my future attempts at trying such tight curves only to fail and restart until I get it exactly right. The sense of accomplishment when I get that highest medal, shaving mere seconds and eventually milliseconds until I simply can't do any better, oh what a rush.

You might be able to enjoy the game on terms other than what you were expecting.

Anyone played the original Trackmania back in 2003 ? We played it in the college LAN rooms.

I loved the snow tracks, and thought the desert ones were broken, they were fucking hard and the car was undrivable, I think they are easier now in the united engine.

I started back then, in October. Lots of official team vs. team cups, countless of hours online and offline. Most fun I've ever had with a racing game.Leonsito said:
Broken? Nothing was broken, you just sucked at itLeonsito said:
Desert controls slightly (very slightly) differently in United but it's by no means any "easier". I love Desert and still think it's the best TM environment of all, including Canyon. I must mention that when I'm talking about 'Desert' I mean the time before the Speed-Up add-on. The addition of such blocks as long straights and long tilted curves and way more speed ruined the original idea of Desert.
