ShootMania Storms Onward

THIS is Future Warfare

Only acceptable if accompanied by servers with loads of techno remixes

Wow. I'd play that.

Beta registration is up. I smell TNT material.

I want to be driving my car around a crazy track than get out of the car and do parkour shit while shooting people.

Was getting worried for a second there: there was a distinct lack of dubstep for the first portion of this trailer.

Blues win.

Dubstep? Check.

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

Yes but, we can't tell yet how much dumb can be jammed into this game.

This looks pretty great. And the music is spot on.

I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but the music in the trailer is Drum n Bass, not dubstep. They are different. But hey, the "oh man, more dubstep" wagon rolls on.

This trailer gives me a Quake/UT vibe. Looks like a twitch shooter.

I was expecting ShootMania to be more like Tribes because, you know, TrackMania, but this isn't that.

A very nice trailer. Made the game look fresh and fun. The envirnoment actually reminded me a bit of Outtrigger for the Dreamcast. Color me intrigued.

Looks pretty interesting. The end was cool too.

I really want Jeff to go to some crazy french lan party where they are showing this off, just to get his thoughts on it after he has played it.

This uh... This looks really cool.

Like laser tag.

Except it could be fun.

Wow this was really refreshing. Concept is interesting and looks visually stunning. Almost felt like i was watching a presentation for next gen console graphics.

PC games.

This video and song are perfect. Holy shit.

Absolutely love the music here.

Yessssss

JEFF HOW PSYCHED ARE YOU FOR THIS GAME

We may never see Jeff again when this is released. I'm guessing he just made an O face!

Unreal TRONament?

Hopefully the bad singer wont be in here, looks like a fun and simple FPS with the right amount of mania. Also eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeSpooorrrrrrttssssssssssss

This is like if Clue won in Tron, the world is a place for games!

Having no idea what this video was going to be, I was pleasantly surprised.

Dubstep.

Perfect.

I... I THINK THERE'S ONLY ONE GUN? I'M CRAZY AND I WANNA SHOOT? SHOOTMANIA.
Help. Please send help. I want to play now.
Also all the bridges and arches and stuff, I hope those are just as adjustable and smart-tile based as some of the bridge stuff from sunrise. Otherwise it'll be real cookie cuter, but these guys are really good at getting away from that. Plus I bet just like with track mania a lot of really good maps will come from being able to hide how tile based it all is.

so....dubstep UT?

Uhh that's not dubstep, that's drum and bass. Learn your genres.

I accept our ManiaFuture!

chiptunes.

Slick.

Looks like you have an excuse to go visit Nadeo Jeff

Needs more dubstep

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.

You know what? I'll check it out.

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

Dat dub is siiiiick.

Nothing says "future" like neon.

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

If nothing else, a neatly edited trailer.

@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

@Set: thank you lol

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.

256 player confirmed.

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

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

ManiaPlanet game - check

Dubstep - check

Dumb name - check

High player counts - check

Custom level creator - check

I'm on board.

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

God I love D&B.

planets!

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