As demonstrated by J. Allard's GDC speech, gaming is slowly moving towards more customization of experience. Rather than simply giving the player a pre-set world to perform limited actions in, the new mindset is to let gamers leave their own personal mark on the game. In my mind, racing games are fertile ground for this type of customized gameplay. While some racing titles have moved towards giving players limited freedom in what their cars looks like, the movement is still more towards making the games more realistic. No one has really made everything come together and unlock the real potential for what could be done with a racing game.
Trackmania Sunrise improves upon its predecessor in a variety of ways, but the main improvement is in the graphics and visual presentation. The original game had visuals that bordered on utilitarian, but Sunrise adds high quality real time shadowing effects, higher resolution textures, great looking water, and some pixel shader effects. TrackMania Sunrise (commonly abbreviated TMS) is the second major release in the TrackMania series. Compared to the original TrackMania, this game has more realistic graphics. Sunrise has gameplay similar to that of TrackMania its predecessor. It features the track editor in which you can create.
Trackmania Sunrise, the sequel to Trackmania, is about as close to this potential as I've seen a racing game get. The actual racing action in the game is tight and functional, but tends to stick more towards old-school racing mechanics rather than trying to be an ultra-realistic sim. Its sure to disappoint more hardcore race fans, but core mechanics are solid enough (even in this early build) that the game is still a blast to play.
