TrackMania2 Canyon release date & beta details
TrackMania 2 will launch on September 14 priced at $24.99. A multiplayer beta will open on August 17, guaranteeing places for pre-orders.
The next instalment of Nadeo's delightful create-and-race series TrackMania will launch for PC on September 14, publisher Ubisoft has announced. The run-up to TrackMania2 Canyon's launch will be celebrated with a multiplayer beta.
Pre-orders will launch on August 17, alongside a multiplayer beta with guaranteed places for everyone who slaps their $24.99 down early.
TrackMania2 Canyon will only include the 'canyon' setting seen in previous games, with other tilesets arriving in later releases. It's the first block of Nadeo's ManiaPlanet, an online world built around user-created content. Down the line, ManiaPlanet will expand to include the FPS ShooterMania and RPG QuestMania.

Arg, arse it, no, it's $24.99 as the story says, but I ballsed up the chatty description and can't edit that.

Someone should link to that pic of when steve tried to manually fix a post via sql.

That desktop is getting some mileage this week.

The chatty strikes again!

Honestly, you guys should just add the first two paragraphs or so to the chatty description, the way the shack nfinite userscript does.
I much prefer this: http://chattypics.com/files/nfinite_q2k8m6qz6n.png

Although I guess that would make it pretty redundant when you viewed the article comments by themselves.-
But this is a labour of love. I show how much I truly care for chatty readers by writing these summaries myself, on velum with quill. And inaccurate information.

'ballsed it up' is such a great expression

It's no problem, but you'll honor the price right?

Wish it were Stadium or Island, but this'll do.

I don't get this post.

Ahh, now that I get. Those were the environs I enjoyed most from TMUF and I'd love to seem them revamped for the sequel.

I think in this case it makes a little more sense considering all three games (Trackmania/Shootmania/Questmania) will be linked in some form along with all the other DLC stuff. Though it is a bit disappointing to see that they couldn't figure that out.

Well, that means I won't bother with it.

I own Trackmania United Forever and played the free version before buying but now there is no way I'm buying the new version. They just got ridiculously greedy. $25 and you get one set, everything after that from them is more $$$. Also it sounds like they are just recycling the same sets from the previous generation. WTF is going on here?!?

It's the same setting, but the car is completely different. There's a number of enhancements including custom blocks and better modding APIs. While I wish it was $20, I think $25 is reasonable.

Can't wait, I hope they release more environments at a steady pace :)
