Oh man the trackmania I love is here all sharp and shiny on my ps4! She plays nice. It'd be sweet if they could have wangled no load times but it's not too bad.
I've loved this series since the first one. I look forward to 99 person online multiplayer battles. Or whatever the max is in this version
If a meaty beta beats a beta metre, how many beater betas can a metre meaty beta beat?

Yeah I suppose so. It's a game about squeezing milliseconds of your times so for me that's where the meat is, perfecting the rather wonderful driving model. Plus getting into the top 10 in a 99 player multiplayer race is pretty spesh
Previous releases had some different modes and stuff included so I am hoping they add those later. They've played the whole thing back s smidge for the console version.
Hopes are high. As far as I can tell it has the same training montage skill strengthening thing going on. It's unlikely to have the spectacular control nuance of THD, but I'm still hoping to get lost in leaderboard jousting for a while.
It would appear that either Sony or Ubisoft have fucked the pre-order on this. It was supposed to be available at midnight, but those who pre-ordered have been given a trial version with only the first five tracks available. There is a button to unlock the full version, but this takes you to a page of the store asking you to pay £29.99 to unlock, despite directly underneath acknowledging that it's already 'purchased'.
That's a bit annoying, I don't pre order that often, but thought I would to save a couple of quid. My purchase page says the license expires the same day I bought it (yesterday), hope they sort it soon.
Hmm.. probably too hard for me then.. still I possibly have the skills for time trialing that I don't for obstacle course (don't look at the Driveclub thread).
I like to think I'm a CAN DO kind of guy... And the number of cans I can normally do is 12.
I didn't gel with the online, the ghost racing is very distracting. It's very Sega but it's no Outrun.
