A new Tribes?
SHAZBOT!

I love tribes - I even still have the same mousepad from when I played it last - but I want to warn people this is being made by Prophecy Games, who have straight up abandoned their last game. Starsiege Deadzone, put out in July, is already dead. Take a look at the steam charts for proof. I want Tribes more than most other old IPs, but we have to be real cautious with our hype, so to speak.
-
It seems like it was their only game released so far, so maybe they’ll learn from their mistakes this time. There could be multiple reasons that it got abandoned.

Please be good... Tribes deserves love.

SHAZBOT

I hope so too. Tribes Ascend was one of the few shooters I've enjoyed despite HiRez's best efforts otherwise. If they can put together a good game I'll be all over this. Few things in gaming are as sweet as the sound of a blue plate special.

Oh man, I didn’t quite have high speed internet yet and missed out on tribes in the yesteryear.
Cool to see a storied franchise hopefully make a return.
-
Tribes 1 was magic. I played on 56k dialup for the first year, and there was minimal lag even when it was 16 vs 16 matches
-
I didn’t even get 28.8 speed with 56k… 🥸
-
Missed 1 but played 2 exclusively for a good couple of years. God I loved that game it is still my favourite PvP of all time.

Sha sha sha sha shazbot!

I have memories of buddies in college being SUPER into it. I was never very good. But it still stands out to this day as a game with a unique feeling of speed and motion and control.
-
Yeah, I'm going to reserve my excitement for when I see gameplay footage or actually play it. Quake Champions looked really good in the beginning and then it ran like an internal pre-alpha. Tribes Ascend had so many OP hitscan weapons on release you thought you were playing Call of Duty. Waning general interest in "boomer shooters" and disastrous releases make these games more nostalgic memories than interesting future games in my mind.
-
I think there are no hitscan weapons in the new one, at least currently.

The guys who develop Midair will be pissed. Especially now that they open up their beta tests more and more 😐️
-
wasn't midair doa?
-
It's Midair 2 already: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1231210/Midair_2/

One thing that I (seemingly incorrectly) kind of disliked about Ascend was that if was so focused on kind of being an e-sport. My favorite part of the original were the havoc and ultra renegades mods and bringing it heavy weaponry to try and crash through the other guys base before they could do us. The new games feel like you just see the lights zipping through at 300kph and my reflexes can't keep up with that anymore.
-
Any game that I might play that's a competition between two parties needs to be "balanced for esports" because otherwise I'm gonna find the imbalance and wreck everyone without all the fun parts and effort.
I play games that are a fight to get into the flow state. That's the fun in it for me. If I'm not pushed to the top of my performance capability, I'm not into it.

Love tribes, can't wait to play.
-
Kinda looks like the old tribes. Can't they make something with good graphics? Even Ascend was outdated and this seems like it
-
I don't give a shit how it looks. It could look like quake 1 for all I care. I just want it to be good.
-
Looks fine for an arena style shooter to me. I don't need pretty graphics, I just need to see who I'm fragging
-
In case you didn't read the article:
"It’s important to note that the game is still very early in development, and these screenshots don’t show the latest state of the game, but it does give us a general idea of the style they are going for."
These are pre-alpha visuals. It's not uncommon for games at this stage to look even worse than this.
-
Not how it works. They have assets already made. You don't redo character models, weapon models for a beta release. At best you use stand-in models, when it's not important to look good. This isn't a stand-in model, replacement or anything else. A spinfusor is a spinfusor. It has all the animations, all the textured. Game has motion blur even.
Best that'll change is the lighting, explosions etc. But the map is already looking bad for 2023, so do the models. I'm not holding my breath for better visuals.

Yeah, good graphics is the most important part!!
