A
post to the ManiaPlanet Blog by Florent Castelnérac has an outline from the
Managing Director of Ubisoft Nadeo on what they are up to, including status
reports on TrackMania Turbo, ShootMania, and Maniaplanet,
saying TrackMania is their focus for now, and that the latter two projects will
get more attention next year (thanks Frans). Their discussion of the racing game
centers around plans for console versions, and the issues they raise and
this forum
thread features community discussion of all these topics. Here's the state
of the game update on their first-person shooter: Shootmania
Some people talk about it as only what has been released. But for us, Shootmania
is more global and includes many steps. The next one is to offer wider range of
gameplay. It should be skilled at all levels but with various types and
accessibility entry points. The result should be a game that is open, diverse,
fun, highly skilled, with good matchmaking and beautiful visuals. And once it’s
ready, we will go in the beta of Maniaplanet 4 and take more time to look at the
highly skilled players wishes regarding the released version or upcoming new
things made for them as well. Shootmania will benefit of the Nadeo stronger team
in the years to come.
Tripwire Interactive offers the E3 2015 trailer
for Killing Floor 2, showing off what they topically call an "onslaught" of new
content for their first-person shooter sequel that's currently in early access
on Steam. There's more
on this on the
Tripwire website, and they offer a detailed outline of their plans in in the
description of the video: During their appearance at last week’s
inaugural PC Gaming Show at E3, Tripwire Interactive proudly announced that new
updates are on the way for their co-op sci-fi horror FPS game, KILLING FLOOR 2
which is available now on Steam Early Access. The Tripwire team has been hard at
work creating fresh new content and continuously fine-tuning KILLING FLOOR 2
with the support of vast community feedback. Footage of recently made user-maps
hand-selected from the modding community using the game’s SDK tools are also
featured in this all-new trailer as a token of Tripwire’s appreciation for their
continued commitment and creativity.
There is no shortage of Zeds in sight, as fans and players can expect plenty of
regular updates to come in the near future, including the free Incinerate ‘N
Detonate content pack which will add 50% more content to game than the initial
Early Access launch. KILLING FLOOR 2 players can also be rest-assured that their
stats from Early Access will not be reset. More news on these updates, including
the Incinerate ‘N Detonate content pack, will be made in the near future.
Tripwire also gave fans a first look at some brand new cutting-edge gore
technology, powered by NVIDIA’s PhysX Flex, which will soon be integrated into
KILLING FLOOR 2. This new tech will showcase even more hyper-realistic physics
effects, allowing advanced fluidity and interaction between all of the moving
parts (and yes, this includes organs and intestines).
For those who missed Tripwire Interactive President, John Gibson’s appearance at
the PC Gaming Show last week, the video is available to view at the following

Well this isn't working out as planned... I have some beef in the fridge that
were supposed to become hamburgers this weekend, but the local forecast for
Manstovia calls for heavy rain and lightning storms throughout. There does look
like there will be a window tomorrow afternoon, so maybe I'll be able to work
this out without having to resort to indoor cooking. It's actually pretty clear
right now too, but I think it's just a little too early for burgers, even for
me.
