Oh Joy! This Is Indeed Heaven For Me!

Testament · February 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">-cries with joy-</div> I'm ashamed to not be up on this, but apparently there's a new Tribes game coming out! (!) Tribes holds a special place in my heart because it was the first online game I ever played, on my very first computer. BUT! Not only that, there was mention of a Starsiege mod for UT2K3...Starsiege was also the first, and greatest Mech game I've ever played (also in the Tribes/Earthsiege universe). Not to mention these two are some of my favourite games of all time, the history and lore of the universe is an incredible read.

DISCUSS!

Tribes: Vengeance <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> I've been following it since it was announced... like a long time ago <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

I'm not holding my breath for it though. Everything I've heard, all the discussions I've participated in with the devs looks to me like the whiney elitist tribes 1 brats are going to succeed and turn this into a tribes 1 clone. I liked T1. I liked T2. But I swear if TV becomes a UT2k3 for Tribes, I'm never playing it again. I want something NEW, not a complete copy paste of another game I can still play.

PS: Most of the dev team are **** as well, at least the PR part of it. Boy if I could find the quote Marweas told the forums I posted at... something much worse then what that Penny Arcade so long ago was about (Eating bees)

One thing I must say:

Best looking skyboxes I've EVER seen.

If it's done right, it will be glorious. I loved Tribes 1...Tribes 2 had so much potentional, but I found I didn't find it as fun as Tribes 1. If Vengeance truly does turn out good, I'm going to run through the streets nude screaming f or joy.

SuperTeflon · February 2004

If it's as GOOD as Tribes 1, awesome. I like Tribes 2 because it was different. Tribes 1 was fun, but I grew a little tired of it. T2 was just a different take. I want TV to be good, but like I said, it better not be a clone of T1... that'd be an insult.

Testament · February 2004

Besides, making clones of the same game with slightly different settings makes me lose respect for a company really quickly.

I'm really looking forward to Tribes: Vengeance. I was a casual player of Tribes and Tribes 2, and they really are fun, but Vengeance looks sexy as hell, and the method of storytelling they're using for the single player campaign sounds extremely cool.

Ownage, plain and simple. *Wipes tears from his eyes*

chis1 · February 2004

Ive never played tribes, i hear good things from it O_o

(my first ever oline game i played was TFC <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />)

Geminosity · February 2004

As long as I can spend my time nursing the base or playing pilot when our base is safe I'll be happy ^^

I didn't really fight much in tribes but I loved it... there was something thrilling about trying to repair the crucial generator to get the defences back up with only a half-dead heavy watching your back and the sound of a whole group of incoming enemy heavies stomping down the corridor XD

Testament · February 2004

My favourite things in Tribes: Watching a jetpacker fall from the sky as my Stormhammer killed him, and scrambling to repair the generators as my team ignored my screams "HELP ME SAVE THE BASE!" okay...maybe that wasn't very fun.

RPG_Jssmfulhud · February 2004

I've played Tribes 2 and loved it (have to play again sometime...). As for Tribes 3, I'm really looking forward to it (probably buying it too). <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Phoenix_Six · February 2004

I'm also really looking forward to that StarSiege mod they're working on. That universe has one of the coolest backstories of any game, with timelines covering millenia, interweaving the tribes and starsiege games.
Never played tribes 1, but I really enjoyed T2. TV has just so much potential, esp. bringing in some single player stuff as well.

I think Morrowind has a better one :/

Burr · February 2004

mmm...new tribes...

I have both Tribes and Tribes 2. They are so much fun!

<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>ps, Mechwarrior 2 was the best mech game ever <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> </span>

Just as long as I can go back to piloting my transports I'll be a happy chappy <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

ESPECIALLY if I can still go underwater with them, there were a couple of maps where you could pretty much sneak a load full of heavies around the outside of the map, come to a halt right next to the flag tower as a heavy grabs the flag, gets back on your transport and you all fly home as quick as you can trying to avoid all the scouts that suddenly show up on your tail <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

i really hope they manage to pull the single player off, the concept of it sounds brilliant. very orignal, espessily the bit i heard about playing the young princess escapeing captors (i bet they'll have to give all the badguys some kind of stun weapon, seriously allowing them to kill a child would be amazingly bad press -_-; don't want this game to get a reputation of sickos)

also the whole, retro-tribe thing sounds cool.. who knows, there may be one or two HERCS in the game <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Morrowind NIGHT sky was pretty neat, even though it was pretty simple <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> (Homeworld-esque color streak, and a random dot generation for stars...) Besides I haven't seen any T:V night shots yet. And stop calling it T3, T3 was about a robot from the future. COnsidering this game is a PREQUEL to Tribes 1, it's not very fitting it'd come after Tribes 2 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Paranoia2MB · February 2004

Awesome, I just hope that this one is balanced. It's higly annoying on Tribes 2 to spawn and then be instantly killed later by a 2 person or 1 person mortar team bombing your base from 1/2 way across the map. lol
