Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 17th
New thread!
This week I am hopelessly addicted to starfield. I have not been this into a game for a long time....
You're viewing a single thread.
Trackmania. It's always what I go to when I run out of things to play
Woah, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. Are they still developing new games, or are you just playing the classics?
A new one was released in 2020 on epic games and I think it's on steam now. It's a remake / remaster the TMNF/TMUF games. It's just called Trackmania but most people call it TM2020. It's a subscription based game with tiers, which sounds shitty but the prices are pretty normal. Like the best tier is $60 for 3 years and that's how long most people play $60 games anyway...
anyway I'm currently mostly playing TMUF.
Is there enough people to play against to make it worthwhile? Over just playing one of the older games I still own on Steam…
Player numbers aren't that great daily on steam (considering most owners bought the epic version anyway), but all of the developer tracks plus most of the community tracks have leaderboards in the tens of thousands, even the hundreds of thousands for the seasonal track releases. There's also a daily community highlight where players can race and compete on a community track hand-picked by Nadeo staff, so that really bolsters numbers on community tracks.
Multiplayer is kinda dead compared to the older games, but I also don't think a lot of players play the game for the multiplayer anyway. There are even community playlists of tracks that you can play in singleplayer that go up to I think 50 tracks in size. So you can just pick one of those and play through a bunch without ever having to connect to a community server.
