Turbo (2016) is very underrated, single player portion of the game is massive and packed with some crazy tracks. Also the visuals and the overall style of the game is just great.

[@TheBBCSlurpee]

So much charm and character in turbo I love it

[@Justinprow]

I totally agree, I just played the game today with a friend and it was nice to play after a long time!

[@TheEuropeMan]

FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICES THIS

[@cartierclips1126]

Got turbo for free on ps4 back on the day and absolutely adored it for its multiplayer lobbies with everyone fighting for the fastest lap, then a few days ago I tried 2020 release and was disappointed with the multiplayer features as a free to play player

[@Mussi93]

i never understood why turbo was negtively received.

[@cosmicsniper6473]

Trackmania Turbo, has the best cars and theme, it's really incredible. It's unfortunate they didn't carry out the theme, it sucks cuz the trackbuilder was not the same.

[@hjuugoo4416]

idk if you know this but you could switch it to the "classic" editor, iirc it was somewhere in the bar that comes from the top... (read it in a steam review)

[@genjitsu7448]

Trackmania is easily the most underrated game! It is sooo good it is hard to explain. So many great memories when we first learned about it about a decade ago now - I remember playing this game all weekend with my kids taking turns trying to beat each others scores... I still come back to this game to play very often and there are many levels that I still have not fully completed so lots of new tracks to still explore. this game series is a solid 11/10.

[@kon_radar]

Trackmania Original and Sunrise had some interesting tracks, and in United they limited the sountracks to only one for each environment.

[@redcatxb125]

TMS is still my all time favorite for sure. I love the sports car and the tracks that you can easily clap 900+ speed. first played it in like 06 or 07 on a athlon 64 windows 2000 pc

[@lion_el_johnson1]

It's 2023 and turbo still looks better than Trackmania 2020!

[@TheBBCSlurpee]

Fr I was blown away by how good that game looks

[@AquDrIFT]

I love the skyscraper skybox in Stadium, but also the fact that it has more than just one fucking environment.

[@tabalugadragon3555]

yeah Turbo is better optimized than the 2020 version. It ran smooth like butter on my GTX 1050.

[@StackerNoobUK]

Turbo is a great game, but something you missed is just how difficult it is. Its accesible in a pick-up-and-play sense, sure, but if you want to access the later tracks you have to gold medal everything prior, and that is a serious undertaking. I platinumed it a while ago and it was, without doubt, my greatest gaming achievement.

[@ellielacinoir602]

I totally agree with you on Trackmania Turbo 2016! The way the different cars and regions feel so different. The way it has different flags and languages everywhere you look. The international feel! The arcade aesthetic! The colors, the music! It's my favorite driving game ever. I got the demo a long time ago, and even just the first 5 levels locked in Hotseat was enough to entertain me for like a year before my mom got the full game for my birthday. Thanks to that, I MASTERED Canyon Grand Drift, and to this day, it's my ride or die. I'm in the top 100 in level #005. I bet I'd have a world record if the game was less popular. I already planned to go to France in the future, but what you said about Trackmania being really popular there makes me wanna go even more to experience a tournament or something.

[@TheBBCSlurpee]

Shit this makes me wanna get it

I grew up with Trackmania Nations and United, both on pc, I remember seeing Trackmania Turbo on Steam and thinking 'hmm, looks weird' and then never touching it or hearing opinions on it, what a shame, hearing your thoughts on it really makes me wanna get it, especially after trying Trackmania 2020 and being kinda disappointed, especially by the ridiculous monetization bullshit they're doing with it... Great video!

[@9999AWC]

Get it. Seriously, it's very good and challenging.

[@geoprancer]

I have TMNF (Trackmania Nations Forever) and Trackmania 2020. I enjoy both of them. My fav. track on TMNF has to be C05-Endurance. My fav on TM2020 might be Drum Beating(Track of the day for Feb 17 2023)

[@MrSatanislav]

Too bad you didn't discuss and rank Trackmania 2003 and Sunrise as separate games. Putting it in United Forever altogether is wrong a bit, despite the fact that United Forever has environments from all trackmania 1 games, the tracks are different from United Forever, Trackmania 2003 and Sunrise had different tracks from United Forever, United Forever just has all the environments (desert, rally, snow, island, bay, coast, stadium) but the tracks are completely different, interface different, music different. Because United Forever is not a game that has all the tracks from all trackmania 1 games - it has all the types of environments as a compilation of it (like u said in the video) but not the exact tracks - the tracks for United Forever are new. So why rank only United forever and no Sunrise or 2003 separately? Moreover 2003 had no time of day thing (sunrise, day, sunset, night options) and hence no car headlights light. To prove that United Forever has new tracks in even old environments: that Great Chinees Wall road in Snow environment in United Forever - it wasn't in Trackmania 2003 Snow environments, so there wasn't such a track. If I would rank 2003 and Sunrise as separate games from United Forever, my number 1 would be Sunrise: it has the best music (the music in united forever's island bay and coast is forgettable and mediocre), the best main menu, the best interface, tracks especiallly with eXtreme patch. Moreover United Forever doesn't have Puzzle and Platform modes (did u say Platform mode only for Stadium levels? Sunrise had Island, Bay and Coast Platform levels, here i'm not sure, i thought United had puzzles and platforms but Forever had not ) and Platform in Sunrise I adored almost more than Racing itself lol, thats super important. Trackmania 2003 would be 3-4 place. Why would I tell that much about it? Well, "getting United Forever you will get ultimate trackmania 1 experience" , NOPE. Getting United Forever you will get only United Forever experience, to have Trackmania 1 ultimate experience you have to play trackmania 2003 and Sunrise itselves for its own tracks, menus and soundtrack completely different from United Forever and puzzle and platform modes. The problem is 2003 and Sunrise were only win XP compatible, but gaming community created version that run on win 10 . you can find it on site like abandanware that has 2003 and Sunrise downloads with zip archives, u just unpack it and have the game already tinkered with dgVoodoo for you so it runs in win 10. So my top is: 1) Sunrise 2) United Forever 3) Trackmania 2 (complete pack) 4) Trackmania 2003 5) United (w/o being Forever it still had puzzles etc iirc, in Forever for some reason the get rid of puzzles and platform, I might be wrong) 6) Turbo (The only trackmania game not made by Nadeo director itself but by Ubisoft ppl and that was a scandal, the Nadeo Trackmania father was enraged , Turbo failed in sales and Ubi let nadeo make next game as always so they did tm2 lagoon after turbo, find some info about it, its an interesting read, thats why Turbo has a completely different vibe because it was not developed by nadeo team but by assigned ubisoft ppl) 7) Nations 8) all other console ports

[@BDozer666]

Yeah United Forever is actually a downgrade over the standalone games (with the exceptions of Nations ESWC as that game was barebones) On top of the soundtrack being significantly smaller & worse (and the way the music system works as it restarts or skips to the next song everytime you get a medal), car skins were worse too, as well as the fact that they removed an entire gamemode (Crazy) as well as Cup mode. 7 Ghosts was also no longer an option either, Medal skins were gone too.

[@vladdubos6330]

Trackmania original is unforgetable !!!

[@ChaseMC215]

​@@BDozer666 United Forever is actually superior despite the downgrade. Think about it, if you want to play the tracks from Nations Forever, play them in United Forever, they're the same game, just with additional content

[@BDozer666]

@@ChaseMC215 I didn't even mention or compare Nations Forever to United Forever (basically same game, Nations is just free Stadium only version). I was talking about the games that came before them (Nations ESWC being a separate game from Nations Forever).

[@itsjustghostface]

Trackmania turbo was the first of the series that i played on my xbox prob around when it first came out, and i still play it now every once in a while, and it absolutely hooked me man, i loved the stats the it would show too at the end of a race for global, country and state, and i would always try to be the fastest in my state, ahh good times.

[@gyrasolune5436]

Honestly given that United-era and Turbo-era are kinda fundamentally the same game (I think the Stadium physics are even basically identical?) I really wish they could one day just compile everything they did prior to 2020 into one refined package with the better interface of Turbo, the REALLY robust editor of 2, and completeness/ease of sharing from United.(It bothers me especially that despite 2 and Turbo sharing the same environments, they updated 2 to have new blocks that Turbo never got, so it's like, we have a 'better game' but which lacks certain really cool track options.)

[@terraforever]

Nice video :) Must say TMNF is my favourite because of the community and competitive multiplayer.

[@Alauahio]

If you didn't know tm United forever is just tmnf but you get more and you have to pay. You can play on tmnf servers and play the tmnf tracks and even more but it costs £22.

turbo (2016) was my first trackmania game. love to see its your #1

[@erikbritz8095]

*Before i watch the Rankings i want to state that Trackmania should be renowed as the GOAT of Racing games as it has the best longevity of ALL Racing games and still has good titles unlike Nfs that died in 2009/ GT that died after GT4 Forza that died after the first Horizon this is the best Racing game etc*

[@Spooglecraft]

i'm a tmnf guy, maybe i'll upgrade to tmuf one day. i like the trackbuilding options of tm2020 in theory, but in practice the trackbuilder being locked behind a subscription sucks. the whole live service aspect of tm2020 generally really turns me off from it, i wish there was a one-time payment option to get access to the trackbuilder and a set of standard tracks, basically like tmnf, and the subscription allows access to live content, like the seasonal campaigns and track of the day. i feel like tm2020 lacks one crucial aspect, and that's tracks being hunted for years. people still try to get new world records for tmnf maps and just by saying the mapname, everybody knows or can easily figure out which map it is. in tm2020, on the other hand, there don't seem to be those standard tracks, the closest thing probably being the seasonal campaigns. we're way more likely to hear about some crazy cut on E05 rather than a new WR run on some campaign track from last year. idk, maybe i'm just biased by watching too many of wirtual WR history videos, but to me it feels like there was this culture around constantly improving on year-old records and now it's shifted to trying to be the fastest player of the day and of the season and then never seeing those maps again, no history to them.

[@Kitulous]

my first tm was nations forever and my other tm i played was united forever i loved it as a child! this series makes me nostalgic

[@universeantimatter627]

I would personally place united forever at top, though the reason might be nostalgia

[@Lwtch_tm]

I like how i watch him being upset that there is only 1 car in tm2020, and now we have rally and snow car

[@Joshua45489]

So true

[@earthboiproductions2407]

A few inaccuracies here: Build to Race for Wii had online multiplayer. Also, it’s not a port of United; the physics engine is completely different and so are the tracks. In addition, if I remember correctly, TrackMania DS did have multiplayer, but it was local only and not online.

[@PetrolHeadMotorsport]

9 months too late, but something that would probably feel like it's worth getting the subscription for 2020, would probably be what Nadeo did with NF and UF, you get Stadium for free, but if you get the subscription, you get access to Valley, Canyon, and Lagoon, and like with their current model, you're able to keep the tracks after your sub expires.

[@vituxosd]

i absolutely loved tm turbo, it's sad you don't find many people playing nowadays. and that ubisoft gave up on it for a subscription game

[@orangeaedan7264]

Finally someone wo also not like stadium

[@sharkyslegoandotherstuff]

good to see someone agrees with me and the mixed reviews on steam for trackmania turbo continue to puzzle me

[@krishacz]

i definitely wouldn't be lumping TMO, TMS and TMUF into one entry. There are huge differences between them, especially in the track design, menu design and music. Sunrise is one of two trackmania games with licensed music (the other being Turbo) which automatically puts it above the rest imo. Also i feel like TMO is a very scuffed game in general, full of that early 2000s eurojank. The handling is not that good (and not in a challenging way like Coast), the maps are super basic and the music is really repetitive. Sunrise imo is the best, it's got the music, it's got the game modes (so many game modes), it's got the tracks! Since United the rack design has been heavily standardised in the "Nadeo Style" which TMO and TMS didn't have, but Sunrise's design was actually good.

[@naikyou]

Personal top 3 is TM² Canyon, TM 2020 and TM² Stadium. Tried a bunch of the others and those either felt unsatisfying (most of the TM United Forever environments and TM² Valley) or janky (TM Nations Forever Stadium environment with more consistently disruptive bugs compared to later Stadium versions).

[@edawgroe]

Funny to hear you say Lagoon is your favorite environment in TM:Turbo. I put it in hard last place. I want to cave my skull in on some of those awful sand / beach tracks, the handling on them is excruciating and hitting the stupid low palm trees and rocks for the 100th time is not fun. The rollercoaster stuff is ok I guess.

[@KekusMagnus]

I think it's odd to treat TMUF as a single game when it really is three separate games in one. I also disagree about Turbo being even in the top 3, it just doesn't play like a TM game as much. Decent list otherwise

[@pharven]

Stadium is really overated, i think it is my least favorite. I think i really agree with this list

[@ormhaxan]

I've played Trackmania since 2006 and always only Stadium lol.

[@mercedesplay_more_kof8488]

I got into the series back when United was the main game and to this day that era of the community is simply unmatched. I love jumping on 2 from time to time but the community feels splintered now and I entirely blame Ubisoft. If you’re a big fan of those roller coaster tracks and haven’t already played it, F-Zero GX might be right up your alley.

[@markusTegelane]

The new TrackMania game has a subscription model, because they didn't want to further fragment the community across multiple games and wanted to keep on improving the same game for an indefinite amount of time. Also, all tiers are reasonably priced once you consider that club access allows you to create your own servers without extra charge and those need to get maintained, which costs money. edit: I take some of what I said here back, specifically related to reasonable pricing, since they discontinued standard access (which was the best option for most players) and limited starter access even more to a point where they only allow white and green campaign maps for free. I feel like locking out campaign maps behind a paywall is just greedy considering it's taking place in the modernized stadium environment, which used to be a cheap one time payment with TM² stadium and free in Nations Forever.

[@electro_wave]

yeah I think it's understandable, but the question here is more about the quality of the games, not if they make money or not

[@nmatthes2927]

Putting TrackMania Turbo over TM2 is kinda triggering XD. Because TrackMania Turbo is basically TrackMania 2. But TrackMania Turbo, because it had to work on console as well, has less features as tm2. Tm2 had custom player made 3d models, retextures (mods) , the ability to mod almost everything, advanced ingame chats, a meshmodeller and on and on. TrackMania Turbo has nothing of that and therefore is like a castrated version of TM2 which has broken legs and arms

My favorite is TM2 especially valley. Turbo had the best aesthetics and overall vibe. But TM2 just has a way more capable editor. That results in much more and better community tracks. Also I like the handling of the Tm2 cars a bit more than that of turbo. But turbo has the best single player campaign.

[@xandygameryt]

My top 3: 1 - Trackmania Nations Forever 2 - Trackmania2 3 - Trackmania Turbo Forever is first for me because its the cheapest way to get into Trackmania, since its free on steam, and its the game which made the scenario popular, so it holds a good place even not being diverse or having other racing styles, its has the most active community, insane amount of tracks and its easy to mod and get even crazier maps.. Trackmania2 is because of the bundle, Canyon, Valley and Stadium, all of them have great graphics, less handling glitches like Nations and awesome handling, my favorite is Canyon too. Then Trackmania Turbo in third place just becausee it doesn't have a good multiplayer, its kinda abandoned but its single played mode saves it, the graphics are insane, scenarios are well designed and beautiful and we have variety of cars that handle differently.. Its a solid game too.

[@yasswer]

[@tabalugadragon3555]

My list: 6. TM 2020: an OK game on its own, trash pay to play model. The interface is also poorly done and like you said only one environment. 5. TM Turbo - while the game could be great, I was incredibly annoyed by the commenters. Like - you make the smallest of mistakes and you're told "what are you doing?!" and it's all the time and I didn't find a way to turn that off. I also didn't like the soundtrack to it and it changed every time you restarted the track - why would they do that? It takes immersion out of gameplay. And the last thing - could be a bug of my version but I couldn't find the control settings. It was annoying not to be able to properly play it with my gamepad. 4. TM 2 Stadium and Valley - didn't like those on release, especially due to so many multilap maps. But the community really turned them around and they are what I play the most these days of all TM franchise 3. TM 2 Canyon: this felt like a AAA project done by a small studio. The graphics looked great, the controls felt refined, the tracks looked fantastic. 2. TM united, United forever, Nations Forever: great games, everything you already said in the video applies. 1. Trackmania Nations ESWC 2006. A amazing game. And it was 100% free! I was amazed at that time that a free game has quality this high and has 90 tracks. But the soundtrack... it was incredible. My favorite in the TM franchise. "Tictac" by Doo in it really gave you the feeling of urgency and "Follow your dream and you'll achieve it". It's available in TM 2 Stadium right now by the way in one of the servers\additions with the original music. Highly recommended.

[@l4rs047]

TMUF, for its stunt mode on all 7 environments, is for me, number 1.

Uhh. Im on ps4 so ive pretty much only played turbo. Its good but i wouldn't say the best. Ive tried 2020 once and i think its way better. It looks better, handles better, has a way better track editor and interface. But thats probably because my fav environment is the stadium

Turbo is the best hands down and the best course in my opinion is down and dirty valley track 60 and I ended up getting the canadian record on it although rollercoaster lagoon is the best environment

Favorite Trackmania has to be TM2:Valley for some reason, then TM2: Canyon, then Turbo. I know the pros love the Stadium environment, but honestly I wasn't a fan of it for that I actually really dislike the latest one. Lost the charm of 2, and a subscription crap sucks.

My first trackmania game was TrackMania Demo. I played it with my best friend at 2004 when I was 9 yo. So much nostalgia. But my ultimate favorite trackmania is united forever. The best thing is that you can envimix tracks like driving with stadium car in Rally of desert car in bay. And tmuf ost is the best ever. Second best ost has in tm2 but tm2020 ost is a total disappointment. It's too e-sport/Olympic - ish. I can't listen to it longer than 5 minutes.

[@BDozer666]

TMUF soundtrack is not that good. Outside of Stadium and Desert, it is a major downgrade over the previous 3 games it was built upon (Original, Sunrise and Nations ESWC). Island for example, went from having the best soundtrack in Sunrise to having the worst soundtrack in United, not to mention United's music system works in a really dumb way when it was perfect in Sunrise.

It's pretty rich that ubisoft is trying to make Trackmania a subscription live-service game, when they've been releasing the same game on the same engine for nearly 20 years, and we can just go back and play those games for the exact same features and only one purchase. Luckily it doesn't seem like too many people bought into this, at least I hope so. I'm so sick of this trend in our world where everything is a subscription. But hey, I guess we will "own nothing and be happy" these days.

my man, you cant rank turbo and maniaplanet differently, as a main turbo player, the only things going for it are the decorations and over the top arcade eastethic and the campaign, for absolutely every other sense, Tm2 is just the superior version

[@weevil_bob]

i don't like in stadium 2 that every is so glossy, looks like everything is covered in oil.

[@blacklotuslv]

Track editor in 2020 is not behind a subscription. You buy the version with it, and have it forever. What you don't get is new tracks made by players once it is done. You essentially buy the acces to community created content.

why noone like tm2020 it means we get more games as devs now have money

I'm Trackmania United Forever Forever

[@The_AlienGhast]

You know Ubisoft Nadeo is not going to make any other car or any other environment for TrackMania 2020. The whole point of this game is to have everything the previous games had with a stadium car and new graphics And where are TM ESWC, TM Sunrise and all the really old ones?

[@hallotje1936]

Well thats dead wrong now lol

[@The_AlienGhast]

@@hallotje1936 I guess so yeah. This time I'm actually happy to be wrong :)

[@portugalmath]

The best Trackmania is the United Forever by far

[@rey.maddes]

Trackmania 1 from Ubisoft was totally a great game, but Ubisoft itself ruined it.

[@eriktopolsky8531]

Latest Trackmania 2020 is very MEDIOCRE , pixulated, lo definition environments ? can not compare to Trackmania Lagoon or Trackmania Canyon or Traclmania Nations or Sunrise in anything, is it even done by same developer?

[@Xzibitfreek]

Ive started my TM career with TM sunrise, then nations/united, then TM2, then Turbo, then todays TM. I would rank them the following: Rank 5: TM2. I was super hyped for TM2 and mostly Canyon because that was like THE sequel to Nations/United but it never got that popular. Nations was free and a lot of people simply werent willing to spend 20 bucks on Canyon. On top of that the base level of the Canyon physics were already hard, so somebody who isnt all that talented, was not gonna have that much fun with Canyon whereas the Stadium cars are super easy to pick up and yet hard to master. Theres a reason why the newest TM is basically only that Stadium car. Nations was by far the most popular Trackmania game, partly because of f2p, partly because the Stadium car was just so good. I liked Valley but it had a dead Multiplayer and you were through the campaign rather quickly, I hated Lagoon, I think Lagoon is pure garbage and I also hated Lagoon in any other previous TM. I dont see having "more cars" as an advantage if theyre shit. There is TM2 Stadium but I wouldnt count that game because its basically Nations slightly upgraded. Rank 4: TM Turbo. First of all, dead Multiplayer. Most people including myself associate Trackmania with Multiplayer and TM Turbo just never had that going for itself. Yes it has probably the most packed Single Player experience and yes, I actually did score a gold medal in every.single.track. I know this game and the harsh truth is that some of those cars are garbage to handle. Some of those cars are so bad at being controlled in a precise manner and yet you drive on tracks that require precision. That is just not a good design philosophy. And thats not just me "being bad", I did achieve all gold medals which is why I know for a fact that the last couple of tracks were only even driven by a couple of thousand players. People quit the game before finishing it, that is objectively not good. The Dark Souls franchise is notorious for its difficulty and yet A LOT of players still finish those games because it does difficulty right. It rewards overcoming an obstacle immensely. TM Turbo doesnt do that. You go from one impossible track to another and all you get is a gold medal which is just like any other gold medal. Not to say there is something wrong with the rewards but late into the campaign when the difficulty ramps up, it just wasnt that fun to play imo. I just finished it so I can say I finished it. I must have spent like 10 hours on Map 178. Of course with hard games there is always frustration but when I face Midir in Dark Souls 3 and take multiple hours, at least it feels like a genuinely well designed and fair fight and while I might get frustrated due to lots of dying, I can still appreciate the insanely good design of that boss. Its moveset, the arena and slowly figuring out the weaknesses of that boss and what I have to do to beat it. I dont have that feeling in TM Turbo, it felt straight up stupid towards the end. If you want a proper challenge and be one of the few to beat TM Turbo, go ahead but I dont associate Trackmania with a single player campaign, so it scores low for me. Rank 3: Todays Trackmania. The driving itself is brilliant. It is basically Stadium but expands on it with a lot more surfaces which kind of makes more cars unnecessary which I dont have any problems with if Im being honest. Some surfaces are a bit whacky, I hate the ice in this game with a passion and it just feels out of place. But my issues are outside the driving experience. The business model is highly questionable and personally I believe it drags down the game a lot. It is confusing, it is only time limited, the entire menu is confusing to anybody new, I have no idea what they were thinking. It could have been so easy. You look at League of Legends or your own Trackmania Nations and you have your business model right there. You make the game free to play and have all major features unlocked from the get go (unlike right now) and earn your money by selling cosmetics. Avatars, borders, car skins, car horns, winning themes. Youd have a lot more players and you would probably also make a lot more money. There actually is an arcade "racing" game that does this right now. Its called Rocket League. Free to play, make money with skins, goal animations and so on. If Trackmania would have the Rocket League model, it would be so much more successful. Instead they rely on the hardcore fans who spend money on the subscription. Admittedly, it doesnt cost all that much but its still a bad business model. What I will say is that I do enjoy the new 3v3 ranked system, I think its a lot of fun, especially with 1-2 friends. And the games multiplayer is obviously alive and well. Rank 2: TM Sunrise. I will be honest with you, a lot of it is nostalgia. TM Sunrise is the first proper Multiplayer game I have ever played. I remember me and my buddy bought it, jumped into the Multiplayer and had no idea what to do in that game and we literally asked the folks in the chat what we were supposed to do since the concept is a little unique. Like previously mentioned, I associate Trackmania with Multiplayer and the Multiplayer experience at the time was incredible. There was one car out of the three which was massively more popular than the other two which was the Sport/Island car. It had a rather simple handling but was reasonably easy to pick up and hard to master. What made this car so different was the speed. This was a high speed car, especially compared to the Bay and the Coast car which were relatively slow. And this is why I dont mind the new TM not having more than 1 car, LITERALLY nobody drove the Bay and Coast car in the Multiplayer besides a handful of people. 90-95% drove the sport/island car because it simply was the most fun to drive. Rank 1: The Goat, TM Nations/United Forever. The birth of the Stadium car which still exists in todays Trackmania. In terms of popularity, TM Nations/United was by far the most popular part of the series. Nations was free to play and yet had all the essential features unlocked. The game was super easy to pick up, the game was free and the cars had incredibly good physics. Simple physics, very easy to pick up and yet again, hard to master. Why is this important? So that less talented players also get to enjoy the game and that is necessary for a healthy playerbase. A game cannot survive with only "good" players having any fun, it needs to be fun for bad players as well, else you end up like Starcraft 2 for example. And of course compared to today, Nations/United was the wild west when it came to Avatars, horns, car skins. I remember having a lil jon horn which was just hilarious and me and my buddy remember that horn to this day. What frustrates me the most is that Nadeo/Ubisoft failed to capitalize on this game. Yes, from the developers/publishers view, while this game was highly popular, it probably didnt make much money. Sure, some picked up United if they really enjoyed Nations but that is 30€ spend once and thats it. But charging 20€ for Canyon was not the way to go. People have gotten used to Nations being free and it should have been continued. Canyon should have been completely free but Canyon also failed with its physics not being easy to pick up and bad players not having a great time with the Canyon physics. Sure, for a good driver the Canyon physics are amazing. The track is generally very narrow and drifting through those can be amazingly rewarding but thats not many people who get to have that enjoyment. And the thing is, Canyon was received rather well, the press liked it, it had great graphics, the damage model was cool, in theory it has everything, it doesnt do anything really badly but very few people genuinely loved Canyon the way people loved Nations. And the numbers for the playerbase prove that. So many people just continued playing Nations completely ignoring the release of Canyon. I genuinely believe Trackmania could have kept its popularity after Nations but somehow Nadeo and Ubisoft were out of touch with what made Trackmania so popular in the first place. They played their cards wrong and basically shrunk Trackmania into a niche within the racing genre rather than a big time franchise. I think Ubisoft wasnt yet involved when Nations/United was released and popular so likely a big publisher has once again ruined the fun for everybody else.

Playing with the DPad is a downside? LoL! I play every game with the DPs.. it's much more precise than this terrible abomination called 'thumb sticks'! Subscriptions suck, yes! I won't ever play a new version as long as i't's subscription only!

[@meee_5155]

Had to skip nearly 3 minutes in the beginning

[@scrooge201]

Yeah 2016 turbo is by far the best the new one is ass and a half I don’t care what they add too it it’s sub based and the physics/content just isn’t there they need to stop supporting it and go back to turbo and people can just play that it’s the superior game anyone who says it isn’t is just bad at the game lol

[@jonaslarsen4002]

I disagree strongly with tm2020 being on fourth place. In my opinion tm2020 is the most refined and most community based game of them all. Track of the day is purely community driven and the online events (cup of the day and so on) is also. Everything bad about tmnf and united has been fixed in tm2020.

[@Greeniac]

yeah as he said it has only 1 environment, United and United Forever have 7 environments

[@kirb1078]

@@Greeniac the thing about 2020 is that the editor is so diverse that you can MAKE the environments I mean I have seen so many maps that give canyon vibes, blizzards, beach, it’s whatever the creator has in mind

[@ledooni]

You have completely missed what TM 2020 is about. If you review it based on what Nadeo provides with the base game it‘s pretty lacking, yes. But Cup of the Day really is just the beginning of the community aspect of it. You can basically find everything ranging from huge RPG and trial maps and very well-built competitive maps that are far better than any game‘s campaigns to tracks with very creative scenery that don’t look like Stadium at all anymore, Bingo, Flagrush, Mario Kart and Shitfest with intentionally awkward and meme-heavy tracks. Nadeo provided the perfect amount of freedom for the community to build everything they had in mind and the creativity is endless, they surprise you with new tracks that you wouldn‘t even have thought were possible over and over again. It is by far the best Trackmania game because of what the community made out of it and because Nadeo is way worse at their own games than the community. Yes, the subscription is kinda annoying, but 40€ for 3 years of club access on sale also isn‘t that much considering the endless amounts of great content you get access to. Nadeo still has to improve, but it‘s already fantastic!

[@Necronlord2011]

TrackMania Turbo could've been great but because they did not implement online records (wtf...) nobody cared anymore after like 2 days.

[@user-vh5iu4kp6n]

Trackmania United nations forever was best

[@henrydoxeon]

turbo is the most weird, you can get on some tracks, and just not follow what it wants, you can get out of the road and go wherever you want, its juts too much liberty, because there is NO invisible walls in this game
