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.

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.
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.
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!
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.
VGTG VGH
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.
They should give it good graphics. That will help pull in more new players and give the game a better chance of taking off. That being said, it shouldn’t be to worry, hopefully. These are early visuals.
Okay, I do. I don’t want to play an ugly game when there’s so many great looking ones out there.
Just watch a movie lol
Maybe look at a painting
Or maybe don’t make an ugly game, that works too
“That book is awful, just look at the front cover, it’s so ugly!”
Also lol at your other comment clearly demonstrating you have no idea how games are made.
Why not? If it plays well, has a nice story, interesting setting or whatever else, doesnt have to be the best looker to be a good time.
I mean, you do what you want but feels like to me you make yourself miss out on good things that are out there just because they dont have top tier graphics.
Dusk isnt the best looking game, but its good. Just as an example.
Because I like games that look good, plain and simple. I’d be playing boomer shooters otherwise
BattleBit is the perfect example that graphics don’t make a game good or bad. It looks like Roblox, but when you’re in the game your don’t even notice, until suddenly you realize how funny it is. BattleBit is the best Battlefield game in a very long time, while the modern Battlefield games are graphically amazing. They’re just shitty games. The graphics of it also make it very readable. There’s not a bunch of junk making it harder to tell what you’re seeing. It shows what needs to be shown and that’s about it.
Looks fine for an arena style shooter to me. I don’t need pretty graphics, I just need to see who I’m fragging
Yeah, good graphics is the most important part!!
