Wait... 20th? This game came out in 2004?
2020, but the series is 20.
What do you mean? It's the 20th game in the series?
The original Trackmania game came out in 2003 and contained 3 environments with different cars: Snow, Rally, and Desert.
The latest Trackmania game came out in 2020 and as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the original game they have been adding the old cars from the original game into the latest game.
Damn so it has been since 2004...man, doesn't feel like it was that long ago
Sorry I should have said 2003, it came out in November of that year and this is supposed to be a yearlong celebration of Trackmania. The earliest game most people have experience with was TMNF/TMUF which came out in 2008 and United does include all the old cars so maybe that is your reference date?
No, dummy, it's obviously the 2020th game
That's really a cause to celebrate!
I don't get it. Is it a new graphics update for the original game or for 1/3 of the original trilogy? Is it a new timesheet for current trackmania? Is it a new title?
I loved the original dessert, it was easily my favorite of the first environments.
They're adding the desert car for Trackmania 2020.
Thanks! ...and bummer. I'm not a fan of this iteration. Liked the crazy, almost photoreal style of earlier ones. The minimalist to-the-point aesthetic of 2020 one feels too utilitarian to me.
I guess that the devs needed to strike a balance between the old style and making sure it fits with the current style since I think you can combine tiles from all themes in a single map.
