Title: ITT Trackmania Nations FOREVER
Post by: Bilan on June 15, 2008, 07:25:45 am

Some of you may be familiar with this arcadeyish style PC racing game while others of you may not. For those that have not heard of this epic game, it has the three fundamental F's of gaming:

Fun
Free
Fucking awesome

I downloaded the latest expansion last night (You dont need any prior version before installing it, though) to find that it is even more epic than before, granted I had not updated my old copy of TMN in about 3 years or so. So, the point of this topic. I just wondered if I could entice anyone else to download this epic game to have some multiplayer fun with it (also free, fucking awesome), the installer is a bit hefty (500MB) but on an average intertube connection these days that shouldnt take more than 3 hours or so to download.

And another thing, it comes with an awesome track editor tool as well, which I have seen some spectacular things achieved with, as well as a -shitload- of custom maps available on the internets for when you tire of the default ones.

So, Im probably gonna be hooked on this a while (doing an LP update recording at the very least later on, though), so if any of you guys have this/get this, let me know~

I'm intrigued, I'll go check out the game. Do you have a link to a download?

So wait what's the difference between Nations and United? It's confusing me.

I've watch a bunch of youtube replays and such and it looks insane, but I've never had a urge to download it because I didn't think my comp would be able to handle it.

What specs are your computer?

You can turn the graphics settings down quite a bit so I wouldnt imagine that most recentish computers wouldnt be able to run it

Three of four TSC birds approve of this game.  I just downloaded it, but anything with a create-a-course is good to me.

I think this thing hates me.

Just downloaded it to check it out and went into the car customization thing.  When I chose to go back, my computer bluescreen'd.  Is this an issue with the game itself or is it something on my end?

I haven't had any problems myself.

As far as I know its not an issue with the game, on my old version I had a customised car, but I havent messed with it on this one because a) itll look crap compared to the default paintjobs anyway and b) I dived straight into races <_<

I'll bite the bullet and download it, but it probably won't stay.
