ShootMania Storms Onward

This actually looks very cool, I am pretty damn shocked because the concept sounded stupid.

Parkour RPG map!

Laser Tag the video game.

Yep. And I love it. And the song is tremendously bad and awesome.

Seriously, this seems like it'll be properly mental. As it should be.

All I'd want is for them to mix Trackmania with Shootmania.

I guess it's official. Dubstep has become mainstream enough that people, when faced with an electronic genre they don't quite recognize, will default to identifying it as dubstep, even if it lacks most if not all the signature features of dubstep.

I remember the time when anything electronic was just "techno".

Wubwub and laser tag? I'm in.

I am officially excited. So like when does it come out.

So please stop making your stupid dubstep comments and learn a little about music genres. The "oh lol its more dubstep boo" bandwagon is really old, especially when you are wrong.

You are the worst type or person.

I like heavy metal. If I ever get to the point where I am getting pissy on the internet and saying "THIS ISN'T DEATH METAL IT'S BLACKENED THRASH, GOD. " shoot me in the fucking head.

@Subjugation: Sorry but I'm not going to learn about the subtle differences between music genres that I don't care about and will never listen to. Take your music snobbery elsewhere where people actually give a fuck about the difference between Dubstep and Drum n Bass.

The environmental design looks cool, but the character design and movement looks janky. I'm just not feeling it.

Here's the full song. It's pretty rad and it's featuring The Heavy.

so its tribes with no jetpacks and skiing?

Nadeo brings just the right kind of stupid. They should make a mania version of the sailing simulator.

This looks surprisingly cool. I'm really into the concept of one-hit kills or even just a single weapon as shown in the trailer if the maps and overall game demand precision (much like Trackmania). It will make for a really great change.

I can't get over the fact that there are so many users freaking over the fact that we're calling "Drum n' Bass" Dubstep. I feel like the majority of us enjoy dubstep for how god awful it is... and i personally don't care if I call it the appropriate name or not. it's all horrendously shitty techno music that is extremely enjoyable in the worst type of way when mashed up with the Jurassic Park theme.

Basically, I cannot believe people actually take Dubstep seriously.

I guess it's official. Dubstep has become mainstream enough that people, when faced with an electronic genre they don't quite recognize, will default to identifying it as dubstep, even if it lacks most if not all the signature features of dubstep. Ah well, it doesn't beat the comment I saw praising the new hot thing, "fast dubstep" on a Spor video on Youtube. That still makes me chuckle...
 
As for ShootMania, I didn't think it would hook me, but it has. I don't know how long it'll have my attention for, so I hope they go out of their way to blow me away with a steady stream of content while I still have interest, up until launch. Very good first impression, at least. And is it just me, or does it show that this trailer was made by people who have been all about racing lately...?

@Set: you obviously like dubstep for all the wrong reasons.

Calm down people, this is drum and bass, not dubstep.

Dubstep is slower and has a different rhythm. Anything with wobble bass isn't dubstep.

Indeed. This tune does break down to drumstep for a bit, though. ;)

Oh, and excellent trailer!

Bonkers. Yes. YES I WANT IT!

Tribes - Skiing + MassiveFrenchDrops = Shootmania

Really enjoyed the trailer, though it's not likely I'll play this. I'm mostly looking forward to being extremely entertained by the inevitable Quick Look and TNT.

Finally! Buckle up, I will. Dubstep is incoming.

Instagib was always pretty cool in Unreal Tournament and this basically looks like capture-point based Instagib.

Still absolutely no idea what the hell this game is.

If this continues the TrackMania tradition of being a source for undiscovered dubstep versions of songs, then I'm in. Hope they add more weapon variety though.

Great trailer and the game looks like it could be fun to hop on and burn a few minutes with. I like games I can easily hop in and out of and can enjoy for just a few short bursts - they're my bread and butter.

... I am actually interested to try playing that.

planets!

God I love D&B.

I just came from watching Tron: Legacy, and the cognitive dissonance I'm experiencing COULD NOT BE MORE UNREAL.

ManiaPlanet game - check

Dubstep - check

Dumb name - check

High player counts - check

Custom level creator - check

I'm on board.

This was an excellent trailer and while I won't be buying it myself, it looks like it is coming along very nicely.

Hey, as long as the music has 'phat drops' it works for me.

256 player confirmed.

I am super glad this stars guys who look like Tron versions of laser taggers, and they're firing lasers. Any other company would've given you the tools to make "Generic Military Shooter No.512". Trackmania is amazing; I'm certain Nadeo will make a shooter version that's just as fun and open - I can't wait for people to get their hands on this and see what they all make,

And also, I hate to pimp out a Kickstarter in the comments, but since we're talking about a Mania game - famous for the user creation tools - this just reminds me of a really promising project that needs funding bad. It's called Storybricks, and it's basically "MMO-Mania"; all the tools to an RPG with thousands of other people. Set characters, create settings, build quests - all using intuitive tools. It's really promising, and it needs money badly it looks like. Figured I'd get the word out a bit more.

@Set: thank you lol

@Set: Thank you! I thought i was gonna be the first and only person to realize it.Tho Dubstep and Drum and Bass and really crossing over heavy now a days it sounded mostly Drum and Bass

If nothing else, a neatly edited trailer.

this seems like that laser tag thing and turned it into a video game

Nothing says "future" like neon.

Dat dub is siiiiick.

You know what? I'll check it out.

Also count me in for wanting to hear Jeff's reaction.

Part of me had hoped that it would carry a little more variety for single-player shenanigans, but if this has a community and it will, I suppose it could turn out to be pretty sweet.

Needs more dubstep

Looks like you have an excuse to go visit Nadeo Jeff

Slick.

chiptunes.

I accept our ManiaFuture!
