I'm expecting it to be a lot like TM and in the same style, you know, since it's based on it and by the same company and on the same platform and all

in TM, some people do competitions, some are here for 10 minutes, and both seems to be possible on SM

Cool. So do you think that TM2 and SM will have their places on the eSport scene ? And what about TMNF which has a big place now on eSport ?

When you accomplish this; Sm will rock anything out there^^

lol, my thoughts exactly! tho I've never played many FPS games before I think that SM will be super awsome; I'm quite anxious to see if you will really be able to build your own maps, can't wait

but maybe it will be like Teaworlds in 2D ...

Yes, they will have all their place. But the question is how big and which ones bigger than others.

Time is the answer. Take the TrackMania history and look where we ended. Think maniaplanet the same way. We will start somewhere, in some time, and will see things evolve from there. Maybe we will do a Nations 2, maybe we will not. I don't need a petition for it in order to think to it. But today, it would be useless to do it. If players want to do esport on Nations, the game is good enough in that respect, and it is not a hotkey or customizable interface that would make it a revolution.

So, we are always looking after competition because that's what action multiplayer games are often about at the highest level.

competition is pushing game in it's limit, interisting for some cases by the way. The common number of player just want to get fun while playing

sounds melancholic ...

but yeah i totally agree to that. maniaplanet is kind of "new beginning" and a newer chance for a bigger field of communities (Race, RPG, FPS). just imagine how many players it could be after some years? with 3 games like TM Forever was ... OMG!

back to the maintopic:
after i played Trackmania (since 2004 released trackmania) for 6 years, the first thing i thinking of, when i hear the word "mania", is clearly creativity and kind of creating something. whether it's a mod, whteher its a (car-)skin, whether its a new map/track or anything likel that ... and i am absolutely sure, that NADEO team will also think on this path (whether only 20% agreed ^^). thats why i am sure, SM (not sado maso ^^) will increase like TMU and even Forever did...

According to Hylis on the French topic of Shootmania:

Will it be a game mode "classic" (deathmatch, ctf, domination ...)?

On this side, I can not say, but he'd say that our modes maniascript directly from the game for the moment, we were successful. I do not think our favorite is a name that exists.
I do not know yet how we will integrate it to the game may be due to a ladder by mode. Features. But I should enter too much into endless debates in my opinion, and I do not have time to do it today

Evetts, I do not know when the import block arrives. It is made largely but perhaps we'll wait a bit to avoid maniaboxon ^ _ ^
