    I’ve never played Tribes so my first impression is that it looks like Unreal Tournament but with lowgrav and lots of sliding around. Might be neat.

    It looks exactly like Ascend but with slightly better graphics.

    I hope it does not befall the same fate.

    This is the same one announced the other day, right? Or are there two Tribes games in development?

      After what HiRez did to Ascent, I am out on any game the ship until they prove they won’t do it dirty.

        The studio behind this one (Prophecy Games) is independent from them now, but still contains some developers who also worked on Ascend. I know from hanging around the forums at the height of that game that there was at least 2 headstrong devs in the company that legitimately wanted to do the game justice (and one of the best updates to the game was headed up by them), but they ultimately were at the mercy of the execs. I’m hoping without the same constraints, they might deliver a kick ass game without the bullshit.

    Miss the size 64vs64 of Tribes II, miss runs with a loaded transport, Juggernaut on the back. Strike covering. I know it’s playable still, I check in every so often.

    What the Fortnite hell is this. Feels like a Fornitification of your classic Unreal Tournament or Quake.

      Tribes predates Fortnite by nearly 2 decades. The original tribes was released before the original Unreal Tournament by about 2 years.
