EA bought the Homeworld IP and is going to turn it into a 3rd person shooter with QTE Microtransactions.

Ha! New revenue stream! Microtransactions to bypass the QTE's. Microtransactions to bypass the advertisements for x seconds, etc....

Keep in mind that backing this kickstarter gives you a small amount of art assets, and a few templates.
Doesn't mention how much art, if it can be used commercially, and even if it's of a good enough quality (and quantity) to use for a project.
I just don't see anything here that screams out half a million dollars.... Cheaper to just KS some sort of 'co-op' for assets and use one of the many pre-existing engines out there, but that's just me. I just don't see the market for indie devs that are looking for something like this to even come close to meeting the funding goal.

I'd be slightly worried about that, if I was you.

Oh believe me, I am worried about that! I can remember stuff like that, but have a HORRIBLE time with names and faces. Go figure. |

V-G-S!
How important would graphics be in a remake of Tribes? Could Tribes 2 era graphics (early 2000's) work these days? Would good gameplay overcome 'dated' graphics? |

| There's probably a better place to ask this, but what exactly made Tribes 1 so much fun? I played the heck out of it back in the day, and still have a soft spot for it. I just can't quite put my finger on exactly *why* I loved it |

See, this is why I hate marketing people
"25 different terrain and weather combinations"
So 5 different terrains, and 5 different types of weather.... Is that REALLY that great an accomplishment? |

While I can't speak for some of them, I have to ask about #5.
If you want people to spend time in an MMO, don't you really need to give them something to strive for? The 'new shiny' is the carrot to keep you going, but without that what 'incentive' is there for people to pay a monthly fee for?
If you make the new shiny a lot more powerful, then you're raising the power level in general. Doing that isn't really sustainable in the long run, in my opinion (but I'm probably, and frequently) wrong!
I think it's just the nature of MMO's. Keep the carrot there JUST out of reach, to keep people paying monthly fees.
Interstate 76 is a poor example since it was at it's heart a FPS. Did it even have any sort of persistence?
(Now, don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE a Carmageddon/Interstate 76 update, even in MMO format!) |

Yeah, that was in poor taste on my end
It sucks right now, but I'm pretty sure they'll all bounce back and find a better place to work, or go the Indie route and work for themselves or a small shop! |

Well, they did, but they just got laid off!
(Sorry, bad joke)
It must suck to be one of them, but I'm sure they'll find a better place to go |
