My buddy caught this. As I have been trying hard here to gain some interest in Tribes like things here, I figured that an actual Tribes game would hit the mark with you folks. ;)

When I think of tribes, I think of: http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2002/20021213l.gif

But who knows, could be good if it can capture the same rabid response that the early tribes games had. They are looking for alpha testers apparently.

Was a fan way back, but my honest opinion is that if it goes through it'll soon follow the path of anything else that isn't Warcraft or EVE.

So the vibe I am getting is a general lack of interest. Thats unfortunate.

Not so much a lack of interest here as a lack of knowledge. Never played Tribes in any form myself, so it's hard to be loop-the-loop excited over an MMO based on that franchise :blank:

Its true. A lot of the gamers I know have never played Tribes. I'm not especially looking forward to it, but I'm sure that I'll be giving it a look.

I had a great time playing Tribes and Tribes 2... Back on 56k woot. Nothing better than to give a 2 second lead while trying to snipe with the laser rifle.

I get the feeling it'll be heavily instanced but with stats and level keeping similar to Global Agenda.
