First time playing TrackMania Sunrise!

[@svk_zoltan]

tips for island: 1. to explain why the ghosts were pulling away from you at the start of the first map: there are noslide skidmarks on Island which give you speedboost, however those skidmarks are invisible, you can only hear them. They happen automatically when you noslide at high speeds but on low speeds if you just smooth steer you dont trigger them and its way slower. At low speeds its much faster to twitch the steering to start the noslide skidmarks and then continue smooth steering through the turn. As long as you have the invisible noslide skidmarks you are getting boosted. 2. the gears on Island and Coast work similarly as on Stadium dirt but they also matter on tarmac so nosteering during a shift is way faster.

I really hope they actually do add the Sunrise and TM² cars at some point - hell - I'd be super happy with an island environment in TM2020. I really don't think a game called "Trackmania" with no subtitle should be limited to Stadium! Bay and Island are incredibly dope and even Coast can be super fun.

[@Spiritwonder420]

Man the old trackmania games had so much more personality then the current one

[@andreasiven21]

what exactly do u mean? :)

[@Spammiej]

Much more detailed blocks in comparison with TM2020

[@fahkyew7776]

i'd say older games in general had more personality than modern games. everyone focuses so much on realism now, and there's sort of an accepted standard for how games should look and feel

[@derekkeith108]

As a boomer I whole heartedly disagree

[@b0nj0er1]

Trackmania 2020 is trying to capture all trackmania games into one. That being said the concept of Trackmania is already really unique compared to other games and 2020 does feel the best to play

[@VIRGiiiG]

Honestly? The game was beautiful for it's age. Kid me loved driving around looking for stuff.

[@sunderkeenin]

Honestly if someone just upscaled the Sunrise assets the game would hold up today easily. The visual style is still good by today's standards and nothing needs be said about the music. Only thing that's super questionable is the cams and that's an "easy fix".

[@ArchangelTirael]

I love Coast. The environment where you somehow miraculously can be faster by driving slower and smoother. It feels like you rather drive a boat than a car.

[@noice__]

16:19 I love him getting cut off mid-sentence by the best song in the game

[@Midbooze]

I am surprised and really glad Spam liked Coast car. Reddit's gonna hate it if this will end up on TM2020 along with other Sunrise cars xdd p.s. - I honestly think Island will be even more declined due to weird handling and gears

[@Mandarin9900]

Island's good gameplay is very dependant on how well the maps are built for it

[@inverlock]

@@Mandarin9900 good island is the best trackmania in my opinion. I feel for the KB users tho...

[@DocBanner]

Skidordie is reference to Skiordie, a late eighties wintersportsgame

[@itsjuger]

I read this word as "Skibidi"

[@Spammiej]

Cool lore! Did not know that

[@probably-Theo]

I played this game soo much when i was younger before i got united forever, this main menu music bring me back so much memories, really happy to see you play the game

[@svk_zoltan]

TMSE is the first ever TM I played when I was a kid and since then I am in love with TM. It does so many things differently then other TMs and imo it does them right. For one, the tracks are named which give them theme/personality. There are no difficulty flags, each track is a big proper map. Each medal ghost has its own specific skin which is very cool. And the music is fantastic, probably the best ost in all trackmania. I love this marathon keep it coming!

[@Mandarin9900]

Why are there two author medal(?) Nadeo ghosts? There's the gold skin, but what's the other two, differences? You know this?

[@svk_zoltan]

@@Mandarin9900 What you are referring to are demi-ghosts, they are there to fill in space in between medals, for example the demi-gold ghost has silver back and gold front skin. I guess Nadeo just wanted more opponents for the player to play against. It depends on what difficulty you set in your profile. I believe if you set the lowest difficulty you play against Bronze, demi-Silver and Silver, if you set medium difficulty you play against Silver, demi-Gold and Gold, and if you set Champion you play against Gold. demi-Nadeo and Nadeo.

[@Mandarin9900]

@@svk_zoltan Thanks, now I remember this being mentioned before. I forgot they were called demi-ghosts, now I remember. Thanks a lot, makes sense. They put a lot of effort into having all these medal ghosts.

[@gramfortey9338]

I loved Coast back then. For some reason I was learning it very quickly.

[@ClemAparia]

Wonder what would happen with a Coast car on TM2020 Wood

[@crottemole]

Icywetwood coastcar 💀

[@AraiKay]

Probably really fun

[@nezziaktm9922]

I wonder what would happen with the Island car on wood. Probably would feel insanely fast.

[@Skizzaable]

man this game was such a vibe

[@kiwicami287]

i missed this live, i really want to try this one out and hope they bring the cars into tm2020

[@geoprancer]
