TribesNext

[Jan 06, 2009, 11:15 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

TribesNext is a new project that revives the multiplayer gameplay of TRIBES 2, the shooter sequel by Dynamix that was released in 2001. The game was released for free in 2004, but CD keys to activate the game were only distributed for a short time, and are no longer available, and even if they were, Sierra shut down the TRIBES 2 authentication servers late last year. TribesNext offers a patch to eliminate the need for a CD key and provides account management. It looks like care has been taken to ensure this all remains legal, and hopefully this won't be an issue given the free TRIBES 2 release, and the fact that support for the sequel, Tribes Vengeance, was cut before the game's first patch.

I still think that if Tribes 1 came out again and was given a proper sales pitch, it would take off again as it was that good a game, as
it had so many tactical elements.

I completely disagree. In my opinion, Tribes will forever be a critical darling and commercial disaster. It is simply too complex for the average gamer's tolerance. Hindsight being 20/20, we Tribes diehards should have rallied around Tribes 2 en mass because as it stands all we succeeded in doing is splintering an already tiny niche audience through bickering about which one was better, and the series is now dead, never to arise again.
