Cars can't collide so it's purely about finding the best line through tracks - tracks which incorporate wacky elements like driving vertically along walls, loops, corkscrews, jumps, and all sorts of other wonderful unrealistic bits.
more Trackmania? That's not a bad thing to be.įor those who haven't played it, Trackmania is a time trial racing game where players compete with the ghosts of each other (or the medal holders, in singleplayer). Check out the launch trailer.Īlong with the Lagoon environment and all its bits and pieces to use in your own maps, TM2 Lagoon packs a 65-track singleplayer campaign and multiplayer racing around tropical places. The latest in Nadeo's wonderfully silly racing series takes the tropical environment from 2016's Trackmania Turbo and whacks it into the interconnected ecosystem of Trackmania 2, bringing new modes and whatnot too. That's the fun offered by Trackmania 2 Lagoon, which launched today. Storm's just about to enter the second phase of its beta, which introduces grappling hooks and wall jumps as well as a new mode, Royal Team.Įurogamer spoke to Castelnerac recently about Nadeo's plans for ShootMania, and how it's hoping to be the number one FPS in the eSports scene.Ah, a tropical getaway! Sun, sand, surf, and speeding through loop-de-loops into corkscrews at 300mph until you sick up your sangria. ShootMania: Storm has also been given a release date, with Nadeo aiming to get the frenetic multiplayer shooter out on January 23 next year. TrackMania 2 Valley and Stadium will join ShootMania: Storm on developer Nadeo's bespoke ManiaPlanet platform, which currently hosts TrackMania 2 Canyon. "Before it's been crazy crazy - now it's just driving crazy." "Some people say we are making a car racing game for the first time with Valley," said Nadeo founder Florent Castelnerac. TrackMania 2 Stadium will be free-to-play, and it's due for release early next year.
It's based on a map that allows for tree-lined roads, tight corners and an experience that's more like that of a traditional racing game - although its taste for ludicrous jumps ensures that it holds on to the TrackMania character. Whereas Stadium places an emphasis on the over-the-top elements of TrackMania, Valley's a more down-to-earth approach. Stadium's on course for release at an as yet undisclosed date early next year, and it'll arrive in tandem with Valley, the first expansion proper for TrackMania 2 since it launched with Canyon last September. TrackMania's classic Stadium setting is making a return for Nadeo's sequel, and it'll form the free-to-play component of the soon to be expanded TrackMania 2.
