    Driving to the edge of the map in TM2 is pretty cool, there's far more geometry than there needs to be and as you get nearer the edge things start getting weird.

    After a while the landscape flattens out into a gradual incline. Then the sky flickers to black before disappearing completely in front of you, but to the sides and looking back it's still blue:

    As you can see we're getting pretty close to the clouds here, and maybe to the sun cus the lighting starts going crazy

    A little further and we look back to see sky dome in the distance

    The edge just appears out of nowhere as we are speeding along, I miss my shot of it

    Yeah the map size is absolutely rediculous. If you haven't driven to the end you really don't understand how rediculous.

    I wonder if the map size is standardized for all three upcoming mania games, and they need to be that big for questmania.

    Tell you what, there has been many games in which I wanted to ditch the main goal and drive away in any direction.

    Trackmania is alright in my book.

    This kinda reminds me of the goofy turret to skybox glitch in Left 4 Dead.

    The pictures in the OP are the ones Vinny mentions in the latest Bombcast. I'm not gonna be the one to tell him it doesn't go forever though.

    Tried to get some of the edge but it's very easy to drive off before you see it. here's a couple from that journey though.

    Wait, wait, wait! So Pythagoras and Copernicus were wrong and the Earth is both flat and the center of the universe?

    Trackmania 2 is just yet another thing that proves Einstein wrong.
