Oh yes.

There was a silly short announcement trailer which is half logos, but here is a longer trailer for the "Canyon" environment (looks like it will play like Island but with the art style of Desert).

Watch this video on Youtube.

Heh, looks pretty nice.

Looks like a mash up of Island, Coast and Desert to be honest...

And finally I thought this game had dropped totally off the radar

Oh yeah I've been waiting for this for ages. I'm hoping there's going to be lots of community involvement in this game (both ours and the awesome TM one) and I hope that will have the same great feel to it that TM had.

(I also wonder if I'll get anything other than 42fps on this one xD)

It definitely looks like the track editor will be coming back, the tracks shown in the video have the tell tale gridlike appearances in places, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of amazing community tracks.

Watch this video on Youtube.

that looks pretty cool xD

I like the Ubisoft opening.

It's looking good!

Ohhh I do like a GT500 At least, that's what it looks like the Canyon car is based on from that video. Still, looks stunning atm

Have some footage of a ridiculously good player:


Watch this video on Youtube.

Looks pretty decent, but I'm waiting for FPS motion footage. There were a few screenshots of it in an issue of PC Gamer not too long ago.

You mean Shootmania? That and Questmania do sound interesting, but that's a topic for another thread ^^

Questmania!

Release is Sept 14th.

They have something interesting to say about Steam (TL;DR: They like Steam and want to get on Steam, but also want to do this Maniaplanet thing, so are waiting a little while to sort it out. I'll have to see what this Maniaplanet thing actually is before passing judgement [it sounds like it's a lot more than just a game manager], but at £20, I'm going to wait a little while for a price drop anyway.)

Will buy as soon as I can afford it Will be the first thing I do with my student loan money

It's out, £20 from http://www.trackmania.com

I shall be waiting for a price drop, personally, £20 is a tad steep for me, especially as it's only one environment.

Have a launch trailer:


Watch this video on Youtube.

That was quick! Looks pretty impressive too!

What was quick?

I presume he means announce -> release being only 5 months, much shorter than most games these days. I think they just announced it late, myself.

Ah, I got confused as the trailer up in the first post (uploaded in April) was also an announcement trailer. Silly labelling
