We were invited to an evening gaming with showmatchs of StarCraft II and ShootMania for the launch of the new PC HP Phoenix.
We noted the presence of Adelscott, Moman and HaRts, the latter two have clashed on ShootMania.
HaRts won the WCG 2007 Counter-Strike and fr.pngMoman was a Pro-gamer of Counter-Strike during several years and plays now on StarCraft II with Millenium like HaRts.
We saw two game modes designed specifically for this event, the jousting and the duel (that name should be changed for the release)...

Nice news. Maybe even better would have been a video of a match, but maybe this wasn't allowed.

Aye. At least tell us if the FX and the graphics are all right. And how realistic / competetive / fun the physics are.
Many controls?
Gah, for ShootMania they MUST provide a demo. And they must make some advertisement for it before releasing the game.

hmm.. not what i hoped for/expected at all..
As in early game development interviews nadeo stated the game would grab back to the basics of a shooter, i didn't expect these game modes at all.
Personally i think the 1st idea for shootmania was based on cars instead of people
(probably based on movies like Death Race etc)
The "maniascript" line at the end on the amount of players only works if there's a thriving community + scripters willing to invest that much time and i got my doubts this will be the case.
