ShootMania Storms Onward

One of the best trailers I've ever seen! Really liking the 1HK laser thing!

Quake 3 arena + instagib + QW phisics + Next Gen graphics. Sign me up!!!

I have to say, I'm exceedingly surprised that Shootmania doesn't look like absolute garbage (graphically or mechanically).

I am not surprised that it seems to be a slight twist on the normal shooter mechanics, as these are the Trackmania guys at work.

Facing worlds the game?

So this looks surprisingly awesome. Who knew.

@ds8k: but it went all bwaaaa bwaaaaaaa bwa bwa bwaaaaaa

Dying from one shot every time doesn't look like much fun but obviously I'll reserve judgement until we see more of it in action.

Huh. You have never played UT before then.

Possible one-shot mechanic? Very interesting, actually.

Please note: Drum and bass is NOT dubstep.

What if Unreal Tournament was a game in 2012? Well, here you go.

Looks interesting. I really just want a shooter that isn't modern military stuff.

That looked awesome. If this comes out this year, I think I might have my current multiplayer shooter.

(Though the shooting model will end up really being everything.)

This seems crazy in the same way TrackMania is crazy.

More like trades cars for suped up Nerf arm blaster thingies. This was not what I was expecting out of this game.

Like others have said, I got a Quake/Unreal old shooter kinda vibe from this. Could be really awesome.

@BirdkeeperDan: no you're not

The makers of this trailer should be proud. That was effin' cool. Now, I wanna see the actual game cause I'm definitely interested.

Always be shooting.

This looks bananas. You've caught my interest shoot mania.

Crazy and awesome.

Will Jeff have a Shootmania server too? :)

Darn, I was too slow.

This looks awesome! Beautiful and fast paced.

Orange vs. Blue? THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Ubisoft presents Quake 3 lasertag

I was getting more of an Unreal Tournament instagib vibe from it.

I am confused about why everyone is pumped for this.

Hey Jeff.

Dubstep.

Sort of.

Crazy and awesome.

This looks like everything I've wanted in a fps in so long...

Normally it's annoying hearing dubstep in every commercial, but for this it couldn't possibly be anything else.

@Mr_Skeleton said:

Dubstep? Check.

Guys I can now confirm this is a proper Mania game.

@zudthespud said:

I love that it has dubstep.

Drum 'n Bass. Just like all metal that has growl in it is not Death Metal - All electronic music that has "wobble bass" is not dubstep. It's all in the rhythm. Dubstep is a slower more downbeat while Drum 'n bass is faster more upbeat.

Dubstep example

DnB example

Needs more Cher.

What the dead monkeys said. Still, looks pretty fun!

Haha.. that video has me so hyped for this. Looks beautiful.

looks soooooo bad

One shot kills? I'm into it.

...mmkay.

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.

Dubstep also draws heavy inspiration from dub and two-step, neither of which present in this video, or what most people refer to as dubstep.

so much want. i soiled myself.

I want to go to there.

It sucks that I've resorted to using the Youtube version of these videos for best video quality and consistency.

I hope there is a bit more variety to the environments, unlike TrackMania 2. Count me in as one of surprised "wow, this actually looks pretty cool" crowd.

Somewhere, deep within the Giant Bomb base in CBS Towers, Jeff is laughing maniacally while counting all his Planets...

Sold!
