2016's GOTY Trackmania Turbo Out Now

The lack of hype on this gem is criminal. It's only $40 and it's out today!!!!!! Let's get some friendly System Wars competition started!Oh, and for those keeping track, it's 1080p on PS4 and 900p on Xbox One. Also the Xbox One has worse performance and more screen tearing. Other than that it's the same great game (maybe even superior because of the controller).

going to play this shit out of this game, though its not out till the 24th on PC and I wont be able to play any until the 28th

played a ton of canyon but not a lot of the other TM2 environments, hope this gets a good community and has a long life

joke? Literally never heard of it

Oh yeah, I'm excited for the PC release as well. I really loved Stadium and didn't play much Valley or Canyon. This game has a pretty good mix of the 3 styles as well as a new one, "Rollercoaster Lagoon" which is pretty cool. I know all 3 VR headsets will support the game as well. I'm curious to see how that works. I'm probably gonna have a barf bag ready when I try that out.

imagine this in VR in first person mode

I'm excited.

Really fun game, was shocked when i saw the Ubi logo on the beta.

Not out yet here, but going to get the retail version for the PS4, so that might be next week for me.

You're probably a console gamer, not a big surprise there, Trackmania is a 13 year PC franchise. You should feel honored to be able to play a game like this, they're incredible.

actually that would be very surprising

I am the console game

Anyone playing tonight???

Edit: Title edited for flare.

Getting it sometime next week.

@getyeryayasout: What a match! This is why I love this game!!!!!!!

Demo for PS4?

My "Room" is "JakeBalsagna81-Normal-Platform" on the room list. Currently #4 on PSN!!!!! Maybe we can start a System Wars room so we can compete with each other!

Download the demo. Play it for maybe 20 seconds and then realize you need the game ASAP. Hit the "square" button to download full version, pay $40 for the 2016 GOTY and enjoy!

@getyeryayasout: Man, I'm getting closer and closer to a digital only future everyday. The only physical games I've purchased this year are because of Collectors Editions or Amiibo. It's soooooo easy to just pick whatever you want to play on the fly. I understand resell and loaning to friends concerns. I don't have too many close friends that dont buy everything or gave up games altogether.

what the ****, I just learned this game won't support dedicated private servers on the PC. literally 90% of my time with Trackmania (which is probably like 400 hours at this point) has been on these servers, since they would generally be run by clans who would curate awesome tracks. If I wasn't playing on them, I'd be creating tracks and submitting them to the clan websites to try and get them on the server. You'd find a few favorite servers, get to know the tracks, and even the other people who played on them. That was a HUGE part of the past games.

not sure how multiplayer works in Turbo but this is really really bad news. Man this is really deflating. I don't think I've ever had my excitement for a game killed so swiftly

its only $40? Maybe I'll go go it this weekend at BB. I can get it for $32

I'm not unless they offer DEEP discounts for going DD and not what Greenman or Steam or whatever offers. I'm talking for a brand new game it should be 50% less for me to consider it. With a physical I can lend it, trade it or sell it. DD you give up all your rights and the family share plan is not the answer to me on any platform including PC. Plus it makes my case look full :D

@GoldenElementXL: @getyeryayasout:

Shareplay?

@getyeryayasout: Instead of unlocking more tracks in the campaign I've focused on beating your times. You now have some work to do on those early tracks. Do you have any Trackmaster medals? Those things seem to be impossible to get for me.

Picked it up for PC as i have done with every Trackmania, its more of the same but iits slick and well polished and the menus are finally not a confusing mess.

Trackmania is always an instant buy for me.

Loved Trackmania 2 Canyon, even though I was really bad at it. Probably going to be terrible at this too, but I'll pick it up eventually, when I can get over the fact that I'm about to buy yet another Ubisoft game. Something I really don't want to do anymore.

@starjet905: @naz99: Either of you guys have a PS4?

No sorry,just PC at the moment, pretty dissapointed that they couldnt implement crossplay for a game like this it seemed like an obvious choice and a wasted opportunity.

Yeah, PC here too. Sorry.

Cross platform play needs to be accepted by more developers.

When I heard TMT comes for pc/consoles I thought finally crossover multiplayer! But then my hype dropped. I'll wait for the Humble Bundle $1 tier.

Trackmania Turbo wasn't a PC game from the start, it's a console game ported on PC - Developer. If it was never meant to be for PC, then why bother? First Trackmania I'll skip I guess. It lacks a lot of the previous features of the series because they are pretty much PC specific. Well the initial marketing made out this was going to be a great PC upgrade/alternative to the original TM games. It had potential to be great game... thanks Ubisoft for once again f**king over the PC community. With dedicated servers Trackmania is what it is now. Driving over and over the same tracks will be getting very boring soon and people will look for other race games that will fill up the gap that trackmania is creating. It seems that Nadeo has forgotten about it's PC players.

yea after putting maybe 10 hours into TM Turbo I don't even see why Nadeo bothered with a PC version. They are going to add the new environment to TM2 and Turbo just lacks so many options the series has always had. I can't even get the game to render in 1080p on my machine, I have no idea why.

If you are a PC player interested in this series, pick up TM2 Canyon and Stadium off steam for 30 bucks and you'll be better off. I always thought Valley sucked and the new Lagoon environment i'm not so keen on either due to the overly sensitive handling. Haven't played Canyon in ages but TM2: Stadium still has populated servers running awesome user made tracks, Turbo already barely has any populated servers and most are running the default tracks that ship with the game.

what a massive disappointment, a game that ditched the confusing Maniaplanet interface and brought all environments into one package with all of the usual Trackmania options would be a game I would have put hundreds of hours into. They should have just made it clear it was a console version of TM2 and I think people on PC would have accepted it.

This is exactly what I was worried about it. Seems pretty weird to me that the console players had a demo to mess around with and we get nothing yet. It's almost as though they have something to hide. Guess I'll wait for a big sale to grab this one. Time to reinstall TMU. It's just jaw-dropping that in 2016 a developer decides to not have a development branch for specific pc support while we had it more than 10 years ago. I knew something like that would happen after Ubi did buy Nadeo. Even in early access Grip is a solid game and many other devs/games understand this and create a true pc experience without compromises to the console. Ubisoft doesnt deserve the money they're charging for this game right now. Turbo seems like it is good for what it is. However, it is being priced as if it is a big triple-A title, which is a big no-no for a game lacking several features of its predecessors, at least on PC.

All this is making me have second thoughts about getting this. Maybe I'll just go back to Canyon.

PC players are why Trackmania is even a thing now. Way to ruin shit as usual, Ubisoft.

I played Canyon and Stadium a ton on PC. I am loving Turbo on PS4. Yes it is kind of a bummer I wont get to some some of the crazy stuff like "Star Wars Metallica" but the courses have been great so far. The visuals are a nice update and the UI is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better. The customization isn't there yet, but the core Trackmania experience has never been better.

It's only $40......

Yea I don't hold any of that against you, I think as a console game and intro to the series Turbo is not bad at all. Its a great formula even if it is watered down a bit here. PC servers would support things like plugins that would allow for custom music and crazy track skins so you would have tracks that looked totally different than anything that shipped with the game. They would also have things like local records, so your personal best time on a custom track would be saved, and if you got into the top 500 times for a track in server history, that would also be saved.

While I could live without these things, it means that the hardcore Trackmania community is going to stick with TM2 instead of migrating to Turbo, and it is this community that puts in the work to make Trackmania a good long-term game since they are the ones who spend hours making tracks etc.

its a weird and unique series and I was looking forward to diving back into it, might end up reinstalling TM2 for my online fix after I'm done with the solo stuff in Turbo
