Finally there is some TM² news too.
Since the NDA has been lift yesterday on the ShootMania Alpha, you might have noticed that the game runs in an advanced version of ManiaLive.
In fact this is ManiaPlanet 2.0 what you see, and it will be available for TM² too.
As you can see here at the start of the movie, ManiaPlanet 2 is more of an overlapping layer.
You can have more games as you can see in the video, there are "joust" and "elite" that are proposed as different games, each with their own main menu, that is similar as the one we see in TM² (singleplayer, multiplayer, profile, editor etc).
We can easily see TM² as one of the games, besides the ShootMania ones.
There is a much more evolved buddylist, where you can see what game they play and where, a serverlist including filters, like "only show servers with games i own" etc.
Maybe some more info has been released about this, i would appreciate if you link me, as there is sooo much and i haven't got time to watch it all (i have a life

)
