ShootMania Storms Onward

Nadeo's next release trades cars for guns. Seems like a fair deal to me.

This game looks nanners. There's a lot of stuff in the level design in the trailer that looks kind of... tracky, if that makes sense. I can definitely see how the track editor tools could transfer over to make shooter maps that look like the on in the trailer.

I might have to get into the mania games. Goddamn you for doing this to me, Jeff. I blame you personally.

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

Dubstep? Check.

Yes I think it will have potential. However potential will be DLC.

Plus the team balancing seems slightly off at the end. Does look suitably cool/stupid tho.

Looks cooler than I was expecting.

So long as the quality of dubstep is painfully low I AM IN.

I'm into it!

There's something about this "Mania" line of games I find really appealing. Also, the red guy owning everyone reminded me of the laser tag scene from StarShip Troopers.
