How about half throtle? Do you have a steering wheel around? Maybe a controler could fit the bill... Remember, half throtle doesn't mean half the speed...
That's such a good project, but now to answer the first question: "Can you beat Trackmania NF steering in only one direction?", it creates the question if it is possible to beat Trackmania NF without steering left. We may will never now...
And mapping, say, steer to A/D, throttle to Up-Arrow, and brake to Spacebar or RShift is quite possibly more comfortable anyway. Don't have to squeeze your hand into the tiny area of four keys, and your two hands can reserve themselves for two wildly different tasks.
D12 is possible. I managed to find an angle that allowed me to get to the last block of the wallride, where I fell off due to low speed BUT this attempt was directly from the checkpoint, without gathering speed first - which you could do.
No one: Wirtual: So anyway, I drove a lap outside of the map to gain speed and then drive into a sculpture that just hapoens to be close to the finish to launch me in the air and drove a bit on the scenery to the finish because i decided to not turn right
@@electricpaisy6045 I played "IHRA Drag Racing" for PS2, hoping that, being a game focused on such a simple racing mode, the rest of the game will be very advanced with high mechanics and car customization. I was wrong, it was the worst PS2 game I have ever played in my life.
I personally never played this game, but I can only imagine how incredibly hard this is and how dedicated you have to be to complete this crazy idea. I can only respect you for all the effort you put into this + getting the shots and doing a voiceover. Really impressive!!
hey Wirtual, congrats on finishing this journey! As a speedrunner (half life though) I really enjoyed seeing your creativity, commitment and sheer will to do this. So glad you haven't abandoned it on the first track. I love the "angle" trick you came up with too. That must've felt good to find it "by accident". Good luck on your future projects :)
Actually... His initial challenge was not to drive left OR right. So he didn't even complete that one. In case The ones he didn't managed with not staring right are possible with not staring left he gotta try all the others again to actually prove the initial challenge impossible or possible.
The madman is back with another video we all love: quality informative content with smooth narration over a really big project that takes a lot of time, all for our enjoyment
Hey Wirtual! I played this game early on in 2004/5 while I was in highschool. So refreshing to see someone making proper content with this game, you are criminally under subbed! Wishing you the best, keep it up, you have a new viewer!
I can't complete even this many tracks using all the keys - yet I find this video inspirational, teaching what you can achieve if you really put your mind to it.
Great video! I wish it went into more detail on each track, possibly adding a little bit of drama and showing a little more of the successful runs. I think it could even have worked as a 4 or 5-part series.
12:59 "john wirtual is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will" if I flip my car around I instantly restart, it's like a reflex but no you had to fuckin stick to the task like a hero hahaha
I like racing games but i know nothing about Trackmania. I discovered this channel today but i already spent 1hr around here lol. Maybe it says a lot about the quality of his content
Great video and concept but, I must ask, if you were instead allowed to use EITHER only left or only right, would it be possible? I would love it if you keep doing these "is it possible to beat [trackmania game] while [playing with this limitation]" Example: is it possible to beat this while never stepping off the gas and never braking? I imagine yes but you get the idea.
Perhaps an idea would be disabling a key (forward, backwards, left and right) for each track. Like for A01 he could drive without braking and on A02 he could drive without going left or something.
It would be interesting to see the differences between not steering right and not steering left. maybe some tracks that are possible this way wouldnt be possible only steering right and vice versa. some of the strategies/difficulties would be different
Challenge : beat trackmania nation, while respecting highway limitation speed. (130kmh in france, but pick the one from another country if you prefere, I don’t know what it is in yours)
This is bewildering, the number of cuts make it hard to understand for someone who does not already know the maps. The rapidness of the cuts also make the jump cuts much better then the fade cuts because the fade cuts flash the screen bright then dark then bright then dark.
It would be a fun series to watch you actually attempting these and figuring out the tracks strategies while commentating live then parts heavily edited and such. Basically suffer on camera for the peoples entertainment 😂
@@B3DMarleux Oof. Then we are left with a Turn only Left or Right. That way you end up finishing them all maybe. But it's not as challenging as a turn only X
Wow, I cannot believe you did E01 using only one directional key. When I first unlocked the track it took me hours to actually finish it without restarting at checkpoints and many more hours to get the gold medal... I got the author medal since and now it is one of my favourite tracks, but I still need to use both steering keys.
Wouldn't it be much faster to just drive A08 backwards, as in, turn around on the start and go through the CPs in reverse order? Then you could still drive forwards but steer to the left
great job, funny video. never thought about and i guess my nerves would have enough of it after one track. but if you take your "competition" serious, you will stuck earlier, since you also had to unlock further maps by winning enough medals.
@@beedslolkuntus2070 there is a lot of people playing this now, and there are also world tournament in this game, also there was a major world record flipper, almost every track has been wr-d again
Would be cool to see you return to the impossible tracks while only steering right. Maybe another whole run without steering left and see if other impossible tracks emerge.
impressive! as a fun side note, all that "speed gaining" reminds me of the "watch for rolling rocks in 0.5 A presses" in super mario, and all that seeking for bugs and tricks in the map reminded me about pokemon red and all its bug exploited by clever people. XD
When i was like 8/9 years old i never used to race in this game but rather explore the maps for example trying to land on top of the blimp so this is some childhood right here.
