Ironically Chris Roberts is a case study as to why publishers are *sometimes* a good thing. Because sometimes it's good to give money to a "visionary" with strings attached. This money he is getting has no strings attached.

I think the reason why this is taking so long to develop is because they promised things for which the technology does not yet exist to implement.

Over promise, under deliver, and deliver it late. That's how Chris Roberts does things. Also hasn't Chris promised networking technology that is yet to exist?

Where is Doom 2?
They have Doom but not Doom 2. WIkipedia says " In some cases, the hall may list the first game in a series of similar titles as a proxy for the entire series, such as with The Oregon Trail series or the FIFA International Soccer/FIFA series."
They don't have a lot of inductees since they have only been inducting every year beginning in 2015.
Here is the list:

Looks like all the other attempts before it, they focus too much just on the spinfusor and the esports aspect, instead of making it a fun, expansive, all around team game like Tribes 2.
Yeah, I feel that Tribes 2 really had a great balance. I loved the multi-crew vehicles and the scale of it all. I haven't been impressed with any of the games since. I want to like this version but it looks too fast paced for the tactics and gameplay that made T2 so compelling.
Forget about vehicles much less multi-crew vehicles.

Played the EA demo and it's pretty good. Movement and weapons are good. Like most team based games. This one will likely be ruined by cheating.
But it has Denuvo Ant-Cheat
I expect this developer to abandon the game if they don't get the numbers they want. Buyer beware, they did that to Starsiege Raiders and Starsiege Deadzone. To be fair this is most likely going to be the game that gets the most money as compared to the 2 I mentioned. But they certainly have a history of games not meeting their expectations and pulling the plug. I can't hlep being pessimistic. There is a reason why the harshest detractors call it a $20 Tribes Ascend asset flip.

I'm surprised at how many of you haven't figured out that half the reason that the video game industry is in a crash, is because they incentivized forced diversity at the cost of quality.


You're exactly the person so many of us have tried to distance ourselves from in this hobby. The type with no real world experiences to back up the things he's so misinformed and outraged over
Yeah I don't think "forced diversity" is contradictory with quality. I think you can have diversity and quality together, with no contradiction.

I have seen the targeting of Sweet Baby Inc recently.

Prez I don't know if you are aware, but historically, all justice movement have been called things like "thoothless" and "inconsequential" and its activists mocked for being ineffective. It's a common tactic used to discredit the goals of the movement by discrediting its activists. Rather than argue against the goals of the movement, it's far easier to discredit its activists and the tactics they use. The logic being "why are people stirring up shit in society, destablizing society, while not accomplishing their goals. It's a waste of time.

From recent memory:
"Get a job hippie."
"Cut your hair hippie."
"You stink hippie."
"The hippies are stirring up trouble again."

To answer Overon, yes sir I am very aware, and realize the danger in calling him that is the assumption that I am one of the people who do what you are saying. But his type of "activism" is bullshit. I'm not the activist type but I recognize that through activism is how you affect real change. But the same danger exists for activists as well. Make everything your cause no matter the context and you risk harming more than helping. My personal opinion is that real activism was what Dr. King, Mahatma Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, et al did for example. This... this is something else to me, and it isn't the same. For the record, I like hippies, I think long hair, tattoos, and piercings are cool, and I genuinely feel like I have more in common with the younger generations than my own. I don't think of myself as the "get off my lawn" bastard. 🙂

I hope you don't assume that I am one of those who counsels everyone just stay in their lane and accept what is being done without dissent.
But that's the thing for every King, Ghandi, and Mandella there were thousands of the little guys that didn't do the dramatic stuff that they did. Without the little guys those guys would not be remembered at all. Personally I'm a big fan of diversity in tactics, even if I think certain tactics are bad. I don't think of you as one of those "get off my lawn" types.

Have they still not showed anything from the scale of Tribes 1 and 2? I'm going 32v32, vehicles, huge defenses, etc.
No they didn't. Tribes 3 Rivals has less content than Tribes Ascend. The developer basically started with Tribes Ascend skeleton and then removed content leaving the minimum viable product behind. None of the combined arms warfare and grand maps and huge player servers is here and judging by what the devs are saying they have no plans for any of it. As I said this is a minimum viable product.

There is a lot of drama in the community just recently after the Early Access announcement. Long time veterans of Tribes fandom being banned from the Tribes 3 Rivals Discord etc. It happened when tribes veterans said "wtf, this isn't ready for early access, there is not enough content, your basic systems are not implemented, the new player onboarding is horrible, you can't release in Early Access in this state." That's when it got toxic. You had devs replying and banning. The developer ignored tribes veteran feedback for months from the the play tests even though it was calm and constructive. Funny thing is I was shocked at how calm and constructive the tribes veterans were in the months before the early access announcement. They were on their best behavior using kid gloves. But that all changed when the Early Access announcement was made.

Also many people don't know but these devs has abandoned 2 in production games already: Starsiege Deadzone https://store.steampowered.com/app/2170420/Starsiege_Deadzone/ and Starsiege Raiders https://wiki.theexiled.pwnageservers.com/Starsiege:_Raiders "Starsiege: Deadzone is no longer available on the Steam store."

Also they implemented Denuvo Anti-Cheat. Though to be fair their FAQ says they are evaluating it so it's not set in stone yet. They used Easy Anti-cheat initially in the playtests. I noped the hell out as soon as the game had Denuvo anything. I don't trust Denuvo. But since I learned about all the drama and bans.

I loved this game back in the day. I think I still have the box somewhere and cd.and all the manual and all the stuff it came with. This game was pretty awesome. I remember how the music was dynamic it changed based on what was happening in the game.

Can you honestly say the new, modern settings panel in Windows is in any way superior to the old, quaint Control Panel? In many ways it's worse.

Don't know yet about this new version but the current control panel sucks. I had an AMD card some 2 or so years ago and was surprised how much better their control panel was then Nvidia one. For one I could go into the overlay while in a game and have access to bunch of settings to be set per game on the fly, or globally if I wanted to, or bunch of performance settings and how often they should update and where to display them. On Nvidia control panel by comparison, to change any of those settings, I had to quit the game, open the control panel, wait like 10 seconds for it to load, switch to the per game settings, hope it's in that slow dropdown that has a ton of applications with no search function. If it's not there click Add button, wait like another 30 seconds for the list of recent apps to load, then hope it's in that list otherwise you need to go digging for the executable of the app you want to set the settings for. This might have been ok 10-15 years ago, not now.
Exactly what I'm saying.
I'm also saying that but...quietly.
Oh yeah well I'm whispering it more quietly than you are.

Looks like after all these years of having an inferior gui for their drivers compared to AMD, they finally caught up? I guess this is the privilege of being #1 in the market, you can have the worst driver GUI that looks and feels like something from 2002 and you don't need to update for over 2 decades.
