mhmhmm, the demo seems to be officially launched as nuls' links prove, but there is no official advertisement-trailer at all (I took a look at the Maniaplanet yt-channel, but the last activity was 5 months ago) ? Quite weird because on nearly every big event (from the different betas to the 10th anniversary) there has always been a trailer/video.

Will there be an awesome trailer to share ?

Greetings,

Blue's News has it, the news will spread from there.

They havent posted anything on the forums yet? Maybe they'll announce it officially tomorrow or smth
I hope they launch a trailer, thats always cool & easier to share.

EDIT: The previous trailer is perfectly usable. No need for a trailer imo

Plenty of other gaming sites that monitor it for a decade or more (or did so before closing themselves) think otherwise. Maybe you just don't understand it.

Is 48hours enough to fully test ShootMania (and other maniaplanet games) & can a player decide to buy this game in this period of time?

How much does a person game?
-occassional gamer 5h/week?
-casual gamer 1-2h/day? --> can test the demo 4hours
-casual+ gamer 2-3h/day? --> can test the demo 6hours
-hardcore gamer 4h+/day? --> can test the demo 10hours

Is this enough testing? Hmmmm.

How long does it take to test ShootMania (and other maniaplanet games)?
- No tutorials...
- The game looks simple, but ... is it?


What to learn?
- Sprinting... impossibly hard for beginners xD
- Walljumping
- What block lets me do what?
--> blue blocks = extra speed, no jumping
--> white block = higher jumps for the cost of some stamina
--> red blocks = bouncing rockets, bigger wj
--> metal speedpad = extra speed, no jumping
--> grapple vs powergrapple
-->...
- railpad, arrowpad, tunnels
- On which surfaces can(t) I walljump?
- What are the rules of this gamemode?
- How does this tool work?
- Are my settings okay?
- Am I playing with a good sensitivity
...


What if he decides to test Valley, Canyon & TrackMania?
I dont think 2days is enough to really try ShootMania ( especially if you try the other games too ... ).


Suggestion
25hours of game-time/maniaplanet game

So 25hours of ACTUAL game-time would be better to really try out this game and give it a chance. Thats 1 week of testing for a normal gamer. The timer starts as soon as the player runs ShootMania.

Please consider it NADEO
