Title: Shootmania: Storm
Post by: Green Man on July 07, 2012, 12:01:25 PM

Beta invites have been going out this week. Anyone playing it?

It's a really odd game. Your gun changes based on what you're standing on but it's really buggy. Sometimes just brushing up against a wall will change your weapon from a shotgun-type weapon to a rail gun.

Doesn't feel anywhere as good as Quake or UT.

Game sucks.  It wants to be Quake but it isn't Quake.

There doesn't look to be a lot of interesting game mechanics in it.

There isn't.  It is simply point and shoot.  The only advanced mechanic I saw was some sort of speed boost when you jumped in the air.  I guess the whole "make your own kind of FPS" thing might mean that interesting gameplay is added in the future, but that shouldn't come at the expense of poor inherent mechanics.
