Tribes: Ascend

Woooooooohoo. Great news for those of us that have been waiting for a sequel to Tribes

Hi-Rez Studios announces Tribes: Ascend + Debut Trailer

We know that lots of people were waiting patiently for a new Tribes game. Hi-Rez Studios released an announcement trailer for Tribes: Ascend, proclaiming the return of the sci-fi, online multi-player shooter franchise Tribes.

The Tribes collection of games have been played by well over 1 million people.
Tribes: Ascend, developed using the Unreal 3 engine, is being positioned as the multi-player successor to the much lauded Tribes 2 and a re-introduction of the franchise to the gaming world.

Hi-Rez Studios acquired Tribes in October, 2010 and revealed plans to develop a massive scale, persistent world shooter called Tribes Universe. Today’s announcement confirms that long-term franchise strategy, but Hi-Rez has chosen to first deliver the single-purchase, digital download Tribes: Ascend this calendar year.

“Before Halo, before Modern Warfare, and before Battlefield, there was Tribes.”, says Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios COO. “Tribes fans appreciate the game’s essence - athletic FPS combat combined with teamwork and strategy. As we began development of Tribes Universe, we focused first on capturing that essence – refining and modernizing iconic elements like jetpacks, skiing, and vehicles. We’ve had tremendous fun play-testing and realized the potential of a multiplayer focused title ahead of Tribes Universe. The community has been waiting for a multi-player shooter that is the modern successor to T2. Tribes: Ascend is that game.”

Tribes: Ascend is targeted for release in late 2011 as a digital download on Windows PC and the Xbox 360. Additional platforms are currently under consideration as well.

Not excited at all... why are they following up with Tribes 2, make it more like Tribes 1. I don't trust them to be able to make a a good Tribes games, I mean they made Global Agenda...

No Tribes fan liked Tribes:V. It felt more UT then Tribes. It felt slow and clunky vs how Tribes felt. The MP portion (which is the reason to play tribes) was just bad as well.

I still to this day have Tribes 1 installed.

I never played Other Tribes than vengeance so ....
