This is the remake version of one of my first tracks I ever made.
That uses some things (instances, textures ...) from other tracks.
Thank to Florian (FK02) for support my work.
Watch the Forest Mansion Trailer here!
As with the remake of Forest Mansion 1, I vastly prefer the original version of Forest Mansion 2 here, and am not particularly fond that the Remakes are intended to completely replace the originals when they’re very different tracks in layout and even atmosphere.
The original Forest Mansion 2 was a flawed track, the window jump and maze section and its poor traction and problamatic short-cut fork took a bit out of the experience, but other than that in contrast to Forest Mansion 1 it was a surprisingly speedy course, blasting through the forest surrounding the manor with only a few bumps to look out for.
This is not the cast here, the remake is much more claustrophobic and choke-pointy, with the changes to the manor itself making that even more annoying to get through since a single oil WILL plug the door and cause most cars to lose vast amounts of time, and the rest of the track isn’t much wider. Not the worst for Practice and Time Trial, but I absolutely can’t stand driving on tracks like this with other racers, especially when there’s little avoiding Oil and Fake Pickups.
Like the remake of Forest Mansion 1 too, this was a huge missed opportunity to include more of the actual house this track is named after in the race-line itself, but alas.
I’ve tried to give the remakes another chance a few times now and it always leads to me just re-installing the originals, which is a shame because I admire the amount of work and aesthetic polish that went into the newer versions, but in terms of actual enjoyment to drive along I enjoy the original versions much more.
I very much like this track. The track has that hilaire9 or RV Temple feel to it with an uneven surface, mini jumps and some quick direction changes. That’s what I like! Really good. I already liked the original, but the updated version might be a bit better with the garden section making more sense and the track feeling a bit “denser” overall or “packed” with action.
“Forest Mansion 1” is good, but I didn’t really like the racing line. The part in the library is too narrow for my taste. In this one, the racing line is really excellent, with several paths.
The atmosphere is cool, I like the texture of the rocks (-;
And the visuals throughout the track work wonderfully with the theme.
It’s a shame, though, that this redux version has taken the place of the previous title.
I’d have loved to be able to compare the differences, but unfortunately the original “forest Mansion” is no longer on Re-Volt World.
I completely understand this point of view, but I regret it.
In any case, these two new tracks are must-haves!
The glow-up on display here is nothing short of mind-blowing. This track has gone from merely just “passable” to downright exemplary. Give yourself a pat on the back, you’ve more than earned it.
