We’ve never been that close to the launch and it is time for us to go even faster : may the red booster be with us!
That’s the reason why we’re offering from August 17 onwards, until the launch of the game, the multiplayer beta to each one of you buying TrackMania² Canyon.
It is a turning checkpoint for Ubisoft Nadeo as we will be opening doors to all of the players willing to jump into the 1st ManiaPlanet online title right away.
For $24,99 / £19,99, you will be able to buy the game before the launch and install the multiplayer beta, which includes the map editor and the mediatracker (for videos editing). Upon release day, the beta version will be automatically updated to the finale and complete version of the game.
It will be available on www.trackmania.com.
Should you fear to forget about it, here is a little widget to install on your PC : it will recall you the time left before D-Day and zero hour
We just wanted to drop in here and let you know that due to circumstances beyond our control, Lonesome Road won’t be out this month. This isn’t due to any major issue with the code or content, but there are lots of factors involved in releasing these things, and one of those is causing us to slip past our intended release date.
We don’t have an exact date yet, but we’re working to get it out as quickly as possible. We’ll be announcing the final date, along with a couple of other interesting FNV-related items in the near future.
GameFront - Is PC Gaming Making a Comeback.
For indie developers especially, there’s no place like PC. Recently, Zeboyd Games, the developer of retro-RPGs Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World announced that it made more money in their first week on their games when they became available on Valve’s digital distribution platform, Steam, than it did in about a year and a half on Xbox Live. The developer made $100,000 and moved 30,000 copies of both games in a bundle in just its first six days; meanwhile, the games had occupied the Xbox Live Indie Games portal since December 2009 and moved more copies, but for less money.
