Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 http://us-maniaplanet.gamesplanet.com/shop/trackmania-canyon Apparently TrackMania 2 is already out? $25 for a "pre-order", which includes the multiplayer beta that lasts until the full thing releases. So it's basically out. Anyone play it? Is it any good? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I can't buy it due to apparently living in the wrong country, but given it's a Ubisoft PC game I think I'll pass for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Good news. But yeah, I'm skeptical of a Ubi release as well. It'll probably be patched to include Ubiman protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might try searching for TrackMania 2 online, since the link I gave appears to be a PC link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Also, http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/08/12/trackmania-2-will-not-contain-ubidrm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah, but that's what they said for From Dust too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Also, http://www.rockpaper...contain-ubidrm/ Firstly I was pretty sure I'd put in a link to the UK version, but seems not: http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/en_GB/pd/productID.228854900 Regarding the RPS link, Ubisoft said as much regarding From Dust and we all know how that turned out. It's very much a case of wait to the launch and let other people find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZakMckracken Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 "You will still have to be logged on for the individual campaign, which features new functions online, but those parts which have no reason to be connected are still available offline, such as editors, LAN, splitscreen or Hotseat mode. Maniaplanet is a system of networked games like web 2.0, and as such, it is unnecessary to include a DRM. It's been like that for the last five years with TrackMania which has already sold many copies." - Hylis from Nadeo. I have purchased and played TM2: Canyon, and it's excellent. The system is set up much like TM: Nations Forever and TM: United Forever were. When you first get the game, you set up an account and verify your activation key. After that, you can play offline if you choose (a friend verified this one for me by turning off his network connection and starting up the game). You won't get access to some of the online features (earning "planets" - similar to coppers in Nations/United from what I understand) and obviously can't play online multiplayer, but you can play. Personally, I'm just glad Ubisoft pretty much left Nadeo alone for this one, especially after I got suckered into From Dust (Glad I got my refund today from Steam, though).

Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Full version of TM2 Canyon is out now. Well, it has been out for a while. If you love TrackMania, you'll love this. If you like the idea of racing on insane loops and tracks, you'll love this. If you like the idea of competing with every nation in the world, you'll REALLY love this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
