Tribes: Ascend - Games - Facepunch Forum

[QUOTE=luverofJ!93;28553165]GOOD GOD. WHAT ELSE IS THERE LEFT TO BE RELEASED IN 2011. This is going to be the best year in gaming. Tribes was the fucking shit back in the day. It pisses me off all the faggot bro gamers who play halo and cod who don't know anything about games like tribes[/QUOTE] I'm not a "faggot bro gamer" nor have i ever played or liked halo or cod, and yet I've never even heard of tribes...Still don't know what it is after watching the two videos..

I can just remember playing this so many years ago. Hopefully they don't fuck this up like every other developer that attempts to remake a decade old game.

Christ I was such a gigantic prick in Tribes, good times By the way, for anyone who missed this shit, there's a free Tribes 2 master server still running, [url=http://www.tribesnext.com/info]TribesNEXT[/url] - though if you give half a shit about Tribes you probably knew about this for just over two years now.

i loved getting a heavy carrier armed with four heavies and just fly around as a mobile artillery platform [editline]12th March 2011[/editline] flying vehicles better be IN because let's face it, ground vehicles are for wussies plus i could see jousting on scouts happenin'

By the way, this isn't an MMO, Hi-Rez is making 2 Tribes games, this one(Think Tribes 3), and another one called Tribes Universe(MMO) that will come out at a later time.

I love you hi-rez. You may be the last hope to a dying but legendary franchise. [editline]12th March 2011[/editline] Also, I will be so upset if they dont include skiing.

also the blood eagle character looks totally boss

I never really understood how maps in Tribes worked. They looked like an assortment of random props from what I could tell. Also I remember spending time just walking off idiotically into the distance with absolutely no barrier infinitely. Anyone still play the RPG mod in tribes 1? I remember it slightly. A huge map with towns dotted around and fully working NPCs and quests functioning like a mini-MMORPG. Ah fuck. This thread brought me too much nostalgia.

Why 'Diamond Sword'? Was 'Imperial' not good enough? [editline]12th March 2011[/editline] Looking forward to it either way

First video in the OP reminds me of the nanosuit 2 trailer

The further away from the centre of the map you went, the more offset pieces that you placed were. It was only a minute difference and it didn't really change much unless you went a long way away (as in such a distance that you'd have to use FTL to get there).

It better be better than Vengeance.

Does anyone still play vengeance online? I lost the first disk to my retail copy.

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;28560864]First video in the OP reminds me of the nanosuit 2 trailer[/QUOTE] The resemblance is astounding. They even had the guy looking over the shoulder at the end. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw8UeXDSkk0&feature=related[/media] Not saying that's bad or anything. It's good way to tease a game.

[QUOTE=MAspiderface;28561176]Does anyone still play vengeance online? I lost the first disk to my retail copy.[/QUOTE] I think there's maybe 2 servers left with a like 10 people each. It's essentially dead. And for good reason too. Get [url=http://www.tribesnext.com/]Tribes Next[/url] instead, it's a revival of the Tribes 2 master servers. Thank me later.

Shazbot! Is ascend different than the Tribes MMO they announced a while back.

The only thing I'm worried about is that this will turn out to be too similar to Global Agenda. And every time a Tribes thread comes up, I ask a question and nobody answers it. :smith: Whenever I try to play Starseige: Tribes, it says I can't connect to the master server even though I'm using version 1.1. I played this game a few years ago and for the past few years I have been wanting to, but because of this I couldn't.

I don't know where you could find an alternate master server or server list for the first game, but the link I'll post works for the second game. [url]http://www.tribesnext.com/[/url]

[/QUOTE] Oh god more nostalgia I remember construction mod where me and some other guy would make huge city areas using buildings and found some strange building assortments that made a giant underground tunnel system. For some reason the "water" entity let us fall through the water. Then we would spam building props to get as high as we could think, and fall off in a jeep or just jump.

A screenshot got released today :dance: [img]http://horobox.co.uk/u/Spiderface_1305040562.jpg[/img] make that TWO [img]http://horobox.co.uk/u/Spiderface_1304998545.jpg[/img]

i like how they made fun of crysis lol

wow wow that is BOSS

Tribes 2 was one of the few games that got jetpacks right. I hope this game is a return to what made Tribes 2 great.

Please tell me that that isn't the new spin fusor.

that is definitely the new spin fusor tbh i think it looks absolutely baller on-weapon ammo counter gets one in my favor. tribes + less cluttered (not that it was cluttered in the first place) HUD wins me over no problemo

I forgot is this game free? It's either free or gonna be sold at a low price right?

[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;29730201]I forgot is this game free? It's either free or gonna be sold at a low price right?[/QUOTE] Probably going to be $30-$40, not free though.
