TrackMania developer Nadeo's multiplayer FPS ShootMania Storm was supposed to launch in January, but publisher Ubisoft delayed it for a bit of extra polish. To get more feedback, and more publicity, it also announced an open beta test, which went live yesterday. To star fragging, download the 1.24GB client here at Shacknews.
ShootMania Storm was supposed to launch on PC tomorrow, but it won't. Publisher Ubisoft has delayed the first build-o-FPS from TrackMania developer Nadeo until April 10 to polish it up, see, and plans to hold an open beta test so you, me, and everyone else who enjoys shooting faces on the Internet can offer our thoughts.
As you once again vow to start going to the gym after New Year, you may want to consider designing a routine to strengthen and hasten your fingers. ShootMania Storm, Nadeo's callback to ye olde twitchy FPS with zippy movement, has been pegged for a January 23 launch by publisher Ubisoft, giving you a scant few weeks to get those meatsticks in shape.
Nadeo's TrackMania games have traditionally ran under a free-to-play model of sorts, but TrackMania 2 Canyon shook that up by charging a cover price. It seemed ShootMania Storm would too. But, not so. Nadeo's first FPS will, in fact, return to the classic monetization model, publisher Ubisoft announced today.
Have you registered for the ShootMania Storm beta yet? You best hurry, as registration will close in less than a week: July 2nd.
The beta will begin soon afterwards, and will last for seven days. Included in the beta are seven modes: Joust, Elite, Siege, Melee, Royal, Battle, and Time Attack.
Did our preview of ShootMania Storm pique your interest in the game? Nadeo's play-create-share shooter will have a beta, and applications are now open.
The process is absurdly easy. Simply visit the game's official website, input your email address, and an invite should appear in your inbox in the coming weeks.
ShootMania is the FPS expansion of the ManiaPlanet universe, letting players play, create, and share their own maps and game types. The versatility of the editor is what makes the ManiaPlanet games so celebrated--which is why it boggles the mind that Ubisoft did not show the editor off at a recent preview event for the title. Instead, it chose to showcase two playable maps. It's akin to watching Michael Jordan play baseball--it's not exactly what we wanted to see.
Nadeo's bold vision for a bright future of user-generated content is about to enter its next phase, as the TrackMania developer prepares to launch an open beta for Shootmania Storm. Players will be able to, nay, are encouraged to build their own maps for the PC FPS, just like in the original TM.
An open beta "is scheduled for the coming months," according to publisher Ubisoft.
