I was in the beta for shootmania but recently it came out on steam to buy...

I was wondering does anyone know what player numbers are like before I take the plunge and buy it?

I noticed its selling really badly on steam.

Cheers :cool:
 
It's not that good is it? Striping back to the single weapon removes some of the skill in quake like games 3 were weapon/armour management

Store page and sort by top sellers.

Its in the 41-50 top sellers which is terribly poor.

Ok, thought you had some way to see sales numbers.

I don't think shootmania would really appeal to anyone but hardcore competitive esports types, I would imagine therefore it's audience isn't huge.

This. It's all about rocket suppression and rail gun finishes tbh :p

I had a look at Shootmania, looks good, but I haven't got round to trying it
 
I tried out the open beta, and while it was "ok" I wasn't exactly blown away by it. The player numbers seemed fine, but then it might have dropped a lot since the beta ended...who knows?

The single weapon thing really annoyed me (as did the methods for using other weapons, which pretty much only activate when standing in certain areas). All in all... meh, prefer Quake, though I'm glad someone in this industry is trying something different in the competitive FPS scene. If I had the money I'd probably quit my job in the industry and try to work on one myself! Competitive twitch FPS games seem to be few and far between right now, especially well-executed ones... it feels like it's Quake Live or nothing nowadays, but it has been played to death already :(
