TRIBES 3?

TribalWar.com has posted a short quote from Sierra's Adam Kahn saying simply: "We will be announcing the next Tribes game on April 24th at a press event (for all of Vivendi Universal Games) in Los Angeles." So consider that a pre-announcement or an announcement announcement.

32. RE: Lose the jetpack Apr 25, 2003, 08:33 Flux
 
I have to agree with #17 about the jetpack. I think it's a
great idea but I hated the way it was implemented. The number of times I jet towards a ledge only to miss by inches and spend the next 30 seconds skiing down a hill.
Then I'd jet pack back up the kill for another go and get almost to the top of the kill before, guess what, out of
jumpjuice and I'm skiing again! :O .. Completely ruined most of the maps IMO. Needless to say the few maps without the need for god like jumping were my favourites.

Nice way to dodge the question. Take your own advice.

Ohh, I also had no problems with the game out of the box. I had no problems with the game at all until they started patching it and nerfing the maps.

Folks, forget about embrassing the gameplay of T1 over T2. The glorified days of deathmatch are over. Take an example from Battlefield 1942. That is the type of multi play that has become predominant. And we all know T2 did it first. Here's to hoping they don't rush this one out the door.

The only thing about Tribes 3 that will suck, are those so-called Tribes 1 "vets" screaming "OMG BUT IT'S NOT LIKE TRIBES!!!" They did it at Tribes 2's release, and they know who they are.

However, I hope T3 turns out to be a great game, and I hope Sierra will see that rushing a game's release does not help it in any way. They only have to look back to Tribes 2's release for proof of that.

yup, Tribes 1 is still the king. Can`t place wtf Tribes 2 didn`t attract. Hopefully Tribes 3 takes advantage of the 9700s/FXs or better hardware features, but has the FEEL of Tribes 1.

Planetside looks promising but it is pay to play...

Tribes 1 kicked ass! The first, and STILL the only online game, playable on a 56k modem. Their use of splash damage weapons over bullet weapons was a big part of that.
Sadly, Tribes 2 went the way of the other multiplayer games and was basically DSL only.
And as for the jetpack... it was only the greatest piece of machinery ever strapped to a player. Ahhhh.... that reminds me of TerraNova. My first introduction to the world of jetpacks...

Gonna have some serious competition with Planetside. I don't know if I'll ever bother with another tribes-like FPS after that's out..

lmao Oh man, that is a good one! I mean that has to be the most original complaint about the Tribes franchise yet!

Tribes2 is a great game... It has stayed on my hard drive longer than any other game.

What I find interesting about Tribes2 is that everyone says that it bombed because it was buggy when it was released. For me BF1942 has had more issues than Tribes2 yet it wins all these awards and receives praise... don't get me wrong I like BF1942 but I still have issues with it and I know others do too yet it seems as though it is considered a success.

I am probably going to draw a lot of looks by Tribes players, but the most annoying thing about Tribes 2 (and perhaps 1 as well) for me was the Jetpack. Lose it. The constant hovering and flying is no good for gameplay and it screws the weapons as well. Sure, the jetpack IS Tribes (you'll say), but still I think it does more bad than good for the game.

16. My biggest dislike.. Mar 29, 2003, 06:19 pay[oh]tea
 
..about the whole tribes 'universe' is the lack of SoF2 quality gore and explicit violence

I know I know, the amount of bloody carnage != gameplay.. However, the total lack of such considering the weapons you're using.. I want limbs flying from mortar hits! And that brings my second gripe with it.. Its weapons. *yawn* ho hum. I mean with the initial tribes, it was almost tolerable. However, with T2 you would have assumed they would have improved by leaps and bounds. NOOP! Pretty much same ol same ol.

I enjoyed T2 when it was first released. Maybe I was lucky since I didn't seem to have any of the problems others were having, so it was a good deal for me. Still one of my favorite multi-player games.

I guess I'm living a dream as I was one of those who didn't have any problems with T2 out of the box and enjoyed it thoroughly. As far as online time I've racked up more hours on T2 than any other game I can think of.

Granted, the engine was a memory pig and there were some rough edges but overall I consider T2 a far more refined game than T1. Unfortunately the brain trust at TribalWar didn't get their own personalized version where skiing was a part of the gameplay so that meant the whole thing was "bad".
