Starsiege TRIBES to Return

[Mar 18, 2009, 09:56 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

At first glance InstantAction Brings Tribes To Your Web Browser on Kotaku seems like another article about Fallen Empires: Legions, the browser-based game that's been called a "spiritual successor" to Starsiege TRIBES. Of course, this is why second glances were invented (well, that and thong bathing suits), since closer examination reveals this unveils plans to bring TRIBES itself to InstantAction, so the highly regarded shooter by GarageGames progenitor Dynamix is returning as well. Word is they will debut the TRIBES revival at GDC next week, showing off improved graphics and modding options.

I've wanted a new Tribes since.. well.. for damn near ever. The closest a game came was Unreal XMP, which I believe could still be a badass game if redone on a good engine (not a pig engine like XMP was).. Failing that.. a true successor to the Tribes franchise is sorely needed. A "thinking man's" FPS.. not that bullshit that was Tribes:V I remember in beta saying "nobody is going to like this.. it's too twitchy etc.." of course the idiot fanboys who knew nothing of the original Tribes told me to shutup.. yeah, turns out i was right. Give me a real Tribes 4.. with all the goodness that was in Tribes 1 and the fixed version of Tribes 2. I want to set up my top defenses in my heavy and play a long game of cat and mouse. With my turrets, mines, camera, inv station and my big guns. WESTERN ALLIANCE -- best Tribes 1 clan!
