The last number of Polish magazine “CD Action” released their preview about ShootMania Storm. The most important things are:
- The game will contain micropayments with the internal money called “Planets”, just like TM² Canyon, and you can use Planets to pay new functions
- Currently it’s unknown the maximum number of players in a server, but Nadeo is working on 1 vs 1 matches and on bigger ones
- Game modes confirmed are Deathmatch and Battle Mode, where you have to capture points on the map to gain territory and win
- Only one standard weapon in the game
- The gameplay might change when players walk over “special surfaces”: in these surfaces, the normal bullet bursts will turn into a lightning stream
- The release should be in Q4 2012, but the right date is currently unknown
- The next ShootMania environments/titles will include vehicles
Very interesting parts are the “special surfaces”, the fact that next titles will include vehicles (maybe tanks?) and the release date, that sounds very strange: if the beta starts in June, why release the game in October? It’s possible that, instead of release the game in the summer (not a very good choice), it will be probably released like Canyon in September, so Nadeo can take more time to improve the game. This is what we think. 🙂
Stay tuned for more information!
