Maniaplanet Forum

Hello there guys.

New issue of polish magazine called CD-Action was released just today, and it contains some Shootmania footage. I don't feel like translating the whole text myself, so let me quote some most important news:

- The game will probably contain micropayments. (its not really sure if they meant the in-game money that we already have (planets) or real money; later in the text it's said that "most of the services are going to be free, but one will be able to buy some new functions using the in-game cash" (presumably planets).
- Maximum number of players on the servers is not known yet, but Nadeo is working on 1vs1 matches as well as bigger ones.
- Confirmed game modes are Deathmatch and Battle Mode (probably similar to Conquest in Battlefield 3; capturing points on the map to gain territory and win the game)
- Game will allow players to use only one weapon (that's for sure).
- "The game will get more intense while player will stand on a special surface - then the normal bullet burst will turn into lightning stream" (yet another retarded translation (c) me (i'm not even gonna change anything here, it really speaks for itself ))
- Maniaplanet 2.0 will let us share videos, photos, stats etc. (not really related to Shootmania, but still was mentioned in the same article)
- Premiere is going to happen in the last quarter of 2012, but the exact date is not known yet.
- There are vehicles incoming in the next Shootmania game! Woo
- Beta will run "during next few months".

I will inform you guys if someone will post a full translation. As of now I mailed CD-Action asking if i can post the scans here (nothing interesting to see, really - just some screens that we have already seen).

Cheers,
prom.

EDIT: I fixed some of the worst sentences. Sorry about the previous version, I guess I was too tired to understand what I was writing ;D

Thanks for the info

It's to late...
I think this quarter is reserved for TM²: Valley

EDIT:

It'll be quite charged with MP 2.0, ShootMania Storm and TrackMania² Valley

I think there is not really a big problem to release two games within 3 months. After all, guys from CD-Action may know more than us

There are vehicles incoming in the next Shootmania game!

Interesting. So we can expect some kind mode involving cars (tanks?); death match. I'm thinking towards something like Twisted Metal.

I think that's a wrong translation, and they wanted to talk about valey in MP2.0. Because you know, when Nadeo restrict players from having more than 1 weapon, I don't think adding vehicules to a FPS-by-nadeo is a good idea;

Nadeo have never speak about vehicles on ShootMania.

It's not a translation failure. The original text is "Wiemy natomiast, ze ShootMania Storm ma byc pierwszym elementem dluzszego cyklu, mozna wiec liczyc na to, ze zostanie rozbudowana o kolejne dodatki (w jednym z nich najprawdopodobniej znajda sie pojazdy)" (forget me the loss of polish diacritical letters, I'm using Windows 8 in english version at the moment).

The part about "dodatki" (the polish word for "add-ons" or "expansion packs") is probably the effect of small knowledge of text's author (Eugeniusz Siekiera) at the Shootmania/Trackmania topic; he doesn't probably know that next environments are going to be GAMES not EXPANSION PACKS.

Anyways, the exact meaning is: "Besides we know, that Shootmania Storm is meant to be the first element of a longer series, so one can hope that it'll be expanded with another add-ons (one of them will probably contain vehicles)" (see the part about the word "dodatki")

If you don't believe me, check it out in Google Translate Of course the author could have made a mistake or whatever, but I'm absolutely sure that original text says that we can expect vehicles in next Shootmania.

EDIT: Still got no answer from CD-Action about the scan. Even if I'll receive one, I think I might not get the permission, but still I hope they'll show some heart

i got an idea, becouse the game is to fast than, when i first saw it it,feels more speedy now..
so a slowmotion area ^^ i would love to see that..

you must be on a slowmo area to be able to shoot the other on it....

I received the response, and I DO have permission, but I'll have to wait 2 weeks for it to go official So in 2 weeks I'll post the link in the first post.
