Stream your games with Twitch.tv!
Hi all!
Streamers will be over the moon. Twitch.TV is now fully integrated in Maniaplanet, allowing ShootMania and TrackMania² to stream your games and competitions directly on Twitch.tv really easily.
You can also for example share directly in live with the others players from the world the game modes that you like and explain them while playing at the same time. Endless possibilities opens for you with this feature!
Here is a video about this new amazing feature:
Don’t forget we also have a video contest currently running. To learn more about it, check out the following news.
Have fun!
A big thanks to Multiplay Gameservers!
Hello everyone,
As you may notice, there are a lot of Ubisoft servers since the opening of the ShootMania Open Beta. These are thanks to Multiplay Gameservers who are one of the leading game server providers in the world and were kind enough to provide us enough servers to allow players to play to the game without delay.
If you have enjoyed your time playing on the Ubisoft servers, know that Multiplay Gameservers offers servers to rent for a very competitive price on their website for ShootMania Storm and TrackMania² Stadium servers.
It’s the easiest and fatest way to get a server for playing with your friends and/or your team and tailored for your needs (install a community game mode, use specific rules, etc.).
Have fun and see you soon on ManiaPlanet!
A videos contest on ManiaPlanet!
Hello everyone,
Creation is the heart of ManiaPlanet, and videomakers are living proof of this since the first TrackMania.
That’s why we’re happy to announce that starting today, we will be holding the first official video contest for the ManiaPlanet games.
TrackMania² Stadium enters Open Beta!
Hi everyone
Many of you have been eagerly awaiting this moment ever since we announced the comeback of Stadium at the Paris Games Week a few month ago, and now the time has come: today, TrackMania² Stadium enters Open Beta !
This new Stadium not only comes with a whole new solo campaign and new blocks, but it is now fully integrated into ManiaPlanet, allowing it to benefit from many new tools such as Title Pack creation, custom game modes, 3D object import, all the ManiaPlanet services (Team Manager, Competition Manager, ManiaLink, ManiaPub, etc.), not to forget the new lighting engine, and much more.
Just like for the ShootMania Storm Open Beta, free Open Beta accounts don’t gain any Planets while playing Stadium, their custom car skins aren’t shared on servers, and they do not get the official replays on the 15 tracks currently available in the solo campaign.
To get rid of these limitations, you can pre-order TrackMania² Stadium right away on the shop page and benefit from the 10% discount. By pre-ordering the game, you’ll automatically unlock the official replays for the solo campaign, along with getting rid of any other limitations. The total number of tracks in solo campaign will be 65 at release.
To jump into the Open Beta without waiting, you can download the client here and just log in with your ManiaPlanet account.
And as usual, we leave you with a little video to celebrate all of this:
Good game, and see you on the tracks !
