E3 2015: 20 Jaw-Dropping Game Reveals You Need To Know About

8. Trackmania

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3piye62BYf4 Another one for the arcade racer pool to help bolster the ranks against the likes of Forza and Project CARS, Trackmania is finally making the leap from PC onto consoles, bringing with it all manner of crazy courses and time trial-mastering gameplay. The hook so far has been customisability - in everything from being able to host your own server, back it with your own music collection and go hell for leather on the craziest concoctions of racing code you can think of. All that cultivated one hell of a fanbase along the way, and although it's very unlikely this is going to be possible on consoles, the focus on ridiculousness is front and centre - a stage demo showing even the developers themselves can struggle to overcome their new mode that randomly generates a track if you don't want to build one from scratch. Overall this looks to be a more robust version of Trials' trial and error-fuelled ethos, albeit with stupidly fast cars and enough community-built tracks to provide a lifetime's worth of sequels. Perfect.
