When the vid started I thought I was looking at a potentially really good racing sim, but then when they did the skateboard jumps I was just.....:?
Graphics are up there, but as a game...I think I'll pass.

Here's a second video - worse quality, but he posted a link to download the uncompressed file (70 Mb). It shows the new track creator and the same race from the previous video, that takes place on this track.
The devs clearly say it's in-game. The two French gaming sites that already posted articles about it say so too.
Can't link because of Glitchspot, but you can find them in the TM2 forums I posted earlier.
The track creator is seen from like a mile in the sky. But even so I can clearly observe the shadows of the clouds and of the objects, and the same sky. In the race you can see the exact same environment.
It looks amazing. Really amazing. However it can easily trick people into thinking that it's somewhat of a sim. The people who've never played a TM game anyway.
Trackmania has a video editor, that's what they talk about with "video shootee en haute qualite".
The dev says that in the video too. Jeuxvideo.com also says it's in-game graphics. You can even see a giant bug in the longer video, a yellow car passes through a fence. And it features the car overlap of the MP mode in the final part of the video.
And seriously, who the hell would replicate a complicated track made in the editor for a CGI trailer? Everything is identical.
This is a PC game that won't be released for another year at least. There's no reason to think that consumer hardware won't be able to catch up in time.
Trackmania is a game without damage or physics modelling, other than the car's weight. This allows them to divert MORE COWBELL to the other departments, the older games also look great and have very low requirements.
The original poster added the translations of what the developer says during the video (mostly "I told you it's stunning":lol: )

True.
Not to mention it's fun as hell to play with your friends off or online!!
And very frustrating at the same time. Winning a gold medal feels like winning a goddamn war.

BTW, the trailer isn't really gameplay is it? It's just a teaser trailer for the game right? I want to see some real gameplay vids to know if the graphics are really that good. ( I already know the gameplay is pretty fun and crazy!)

Trackmania Nations Forever is FREE and looks freakin amazing, hell, a free game looks better than most on PS3 and 360, Nadeo know what they're doing, the game WILL look like that
I doubt it will look better than GT5 or Forza3. But I loved the trailer and how it started pretending to be a normal racing game to finally break into typical Trackmania insanity :)
