Nadeo announces Trackmania 2 at Paris Games Festival
With a rich level creation feature, wonderfully reckless driving and a non-existent price tag, Trackmania Nations Forever was one of the most surprisingly captivating games of 2008. Yesterday, developer Nadeo surprised us once again by revealing the game's sequel (aptly titled Trackmania 2) during the Paris Games Festival. We haven't seen any official video aside from some shakycam footage captured during the game's announcement -- still, we don't need high-quality media to see the insane graphical facelift the game has undergone. We'll let you know when we hear more. And see more! Any more we can possible experience with any of our senses, we will pass along. [Via Big Download; image credit: TaxiGamer]
The Joystiq Free Game Club: Trackmania Nations Forever
Is there an excuse for not playing Trackmania Nations Forever? If there is, we can't think of it. Let's get this out of the way first: It's free, so don't even act like it's a money thing. You say racing games have gotten too sim-like for you? Well, this one is different, allowing races to be played with only the arrow keys if you want. And if you have complaints about the way the cars look, we're going to hit you with a link to download Mad Max's Interceptor or Mario's kart.Free or not, we don't think this is a game that anyone should miss. There are tons and tons of races to play against the clock, allowing you to collect medals and compare your major awards with people in your region, nation and all over the globe. And if you tire of racing by your lonesome, you can take a spot in massive multiplayer competitions with everyone vying not to beat others to the finish line but to get the fastest lap time. It's easy to play, it's free, it's fun, we think a download should be a foregone conclusion. But, as always, this is the Joystiq Free Game Club, so the final word is yours.
