It seems dead like they did with TM2, they showed the beta in 2009 and only made some teasers on the beggining of this year, i'm just worried if they will do that with ShootMania too if you know what I mean

Hylis have promised news for this week:

Meanwhile, we are taking more time than I expected to launch the tests phases and we still have to take big decision beginning of January about this.

Vous allez peut-être entendre parler de ShootMania cette semaine (You might be hearing about SM this week)

this week! awsome! I have a break from school and new of Shootmania

Awesome


Edit: i am dumb

Man, I was hoping for some actual trailer, not a 90% TM and TM2 video

i think he was referring to this: http://www.tm-actu.com/news-1027-p2-upsm-storm-preview
The video you saw has been out for a while.

Mmmhm yeah, that too.

Well, its Jan now so i'm expecting to see something official very soon...

No not that, all I want is a teaser like they did with TM2 Canyon, Blue G.T 500, you will be missed

Do we will have news..? I no don't think so..

All kidding aside, I still think Nadeo bit off a bit more than they could chew.. It's one thing to make a low budget mp-only FPS -- it's another thing entirely to make a game that people want to buy. As much as I hear about the game, I think.. alright, that sounds alright for a league match -- but what about fun?

In terms of online FPS's, you have two obvious successful examples.. the free-for-all gruesome deathmatch experience brought to us by Quake and UT (rumors of a new Quake, after the rumored Doom 4 next fall!), or the class/team based experience brought to you by franchises such as COD, BF, and TF2 (COD/BF have a few releases every year, while TF2 still has a great following years later, and is now entirely free-to-play). Honestly, what are they trying here?

More than anything... when we buy these other more 'professionally-produced' games, we typically don't receive just one environment to play in, or just one gameplay mode.. we typically get an entire game off the bat, to be supplemented by cheap sequels or DLC packs. Even the indie-esque Section 8 (which debuted at $20 and quickly died down to $8) couldn't make it anywhere -- the studio just didn't have the experience to put enough polish on an arguably complete SP and MP experience. And don't even bring up Brink.. xD

So Nadeo wants to give it a try... I say good luck, I really hope they make it.. But FPS's are a big man's game, and I just don't see Nadeo putting in the necessary effort.

Edit: Brief anecdote about the leaked pics... It reminds me of the days when I was playing HL/CS on PC, and laughing at the ridiculous graphics of my friends playing Hidden and Dangerous on n64, with it's paper-thin walls and doors. There's just no comparison.. like comparing TM2:Canyon to Dirt3.

You think that the game can't be both ?

We are just making our won vision of a FPS game, that's all. We can't talk about it for the moment but you'll certainly view what are we trying to do when we'll present the game.

We are very serious about making a FPS, that's why we are working on it since 5 years, it's very difficult to make a good FPS game and so we take care of all details. It's hard to describe like this but you'll feel it once you'll hand the game
