The extra lanes for oncoming traffic didn't serve much purpose. Mostly they just made it harder to see the upcoming highway off in the distance. It doesn't work all that well for DV either since the camera would have to be so far back to keep both vehicles in view (or splitscreen or networked multi).

I realize neither of those views are practical for getting a high score but it would be nice to have them as an optional setting.

admins i wish i could slap u for removing the sky back ground, those grey lines are so annoying when u play the song. i think using a type of plasma effect or space effect would make the back ground look insane, and the cars OMG so much better looking then dodging boxes. i think beta looks 100x better then what it looks like now.

Why can't the background be a texture that you can mod?
just like hits, the board, the fireworks, etc...
Would be good.

The area under the track should be modifiable also

it likely will be modifiable eventually, but one thing at a time here.

Hey there
It would be AWESOME if you could make it possible to use the old backgrounds. Please do that ASAP even if it wouldn't be modifidable for players at first (or at all).

One thought I have had was the background could be album art. Look for a square .jpg file in the same directory as the song being played perhaps? May not work for all albums and if you only have a 200x200 jpeg it might look kind of crappy but it would be kind of cool under the right circumstances.

I prefer the solid/simple backgrounds, to be honest. It makes the blocks stand out much more, and in a trippy game like audiosurf, being able to see what's up ahead is key. ;)

Good point although some album art would still be suitable. Just depends on the album, the player and the alignment of the stars I suppose.
