tribes 3

adnans · 12-12-2002 3:46pm #1

When we make another Tribes game
(I'm still thinking of a good name)
Skiing will require skill -
No speed cap, and skiing uphill.
The graphics rock - worlds come alive -
But won't require a GeForce 5.
Lance, bomber, tank, I doubt they'll go
But they'll be better this time though.
We learned our lesson about forums -
They're the domain of those who whore 'em.
An open beta early on
Will help make sure the bugs are gone
So it's a given that we'll have one
And only launch when it is done.
Can't trust a weasel not to lie
But cross my fingers, hope to die
No more a question - may or might
The next Tribes game got a green light.

in an Abe Simpson voice: bring baaack the tribes forummms.

i dont want people turning this into a tribes2 sucked, and tribes1 was the best game ever thread. behave and count your lucky stars that they have decided to release another tribes game.

I dunno, I think there are aspects of Tribes 2 that were good reguardless of what ppl said,
Tribes 1 did own!

YEAAAAA!! More tribes the better, online gaming is where its all fun.

/me crosses his fingers and hopes the new kids get it right.

They're not getting my money again after the steaming shít-heap that was Tribes 2.

silverski · 12-12-2002 4:52pm

Has there been any word on a release date

amp · 12-12-2002 5:03pm

Never played Tribes 2, so I can't comment on it's suckiness. I liked the first one though.

KdjaCL · 12-12-2002 5:07pm

Never played 1 but loved 2.

Still play it so my ignorance to the 1st is blissful.
Goddamn i want that game.

Tribes 2 rocked, TBH. The servers sucked, TBH.

Any other info on this new tribes game? Whatever it is, it sounds tasty.

Where was that quote from??

I've said it before and i'll say it again. I've had more fun playing Tribes 1 than any other game I've ever played and tribes 2 was just gorgeous but they left out the speed factor which kinda dulled it down but I will be dying to see what they release as Tribes 3 because i'm sure it will ****in own just like the other two tbh.

Liked 1, loved 2(and still play it) and now I find myself looking forward to 3

theres always been something about largescale teambased combat that draws me to it....could never explain it...

Its from the Tribalwar forums. It was made by Alex 'Marweas' Rodberg, who apart from being quite a good poet is the Marketing Brand Manager of Tribes or some such title.

Even though hes a brand manager, hes had a remarkable impact on the franchise since he replaced Dave 'Qix' Georgeson. He is pretty much the man responsible for the final bugfix and patch and the repackage of Tribes 2.

If hes let oversee the Tribes 3 project, Id be fairly optimistic that it will turn out MILES better than the steaming pile of buggy crap that landed on shelves when T2 was released (not an opinion, a fact - the game out of the box was unplayable until it was patched).

I always said theres no way im going to look forward to another tribes game after the shafting i feel i got with t2, but this is a great bit of news and maybe ill re-evalute once they officially announce the game (early next year by Marweas reckoning).

Theres no other news apart from the fact that Sierra/Vivendi have given a green light to a new game.

Dr_Teeth · 13-12-2002 11:16am

Yeah bring back the Tribes board, I miss being a mod.

I hope they take a good long look at Battlefield 1942 and what makes it great, which is basically the vehicles - easy to play, difficult to master and very very effective. I cry sometimes when I think of the utter ****ness of the aircraft in both tribes games vs the fighter aircraft in 1942.

meglome · 13-12-2002 12:37pm

Tribes 3 could be great... tribes 2 had such potential but as Dr. Teeth says they should take a good look at BF1942 this time.

Grand_Izer · 13-12-2002 12:52pm

Well i'm still playing Tribes 2 (+ enjoying it) and Tribes 3 sounds like good stuff. Count me in.

BKtje · 13-12-2002 1:03pm

i didn't like the movement of the characters in tribes2.

too slow and awkward for me.
might give tribes 3 a go cos the game did have potential.

KdjaCL · 13-12-2002 2:10pm

The references to BF amaze me i think BF is tribes in ww2 (check my website for my long running views on this) If Dice had of sacrificed graphics for gameplay and netcode BF would be king.

But it lacks the accessibility of Tribes ( i played tribes 2 on a crap pc with 56k)

I just want a toolset and a decent game to unite the tribeeeeeeees (1 and 2 haters and lovers).

As i said about BF if done right could be a challenger to Half Lifes onlines dominance ( it wasnt losing servers every week ,MOH:AA is beating it now in terms of servers and players).

I there any offline play in tribes 2? when i got tribes 1 it kinda had totally died and all the was were a few duel servers in england left?

KdjaCL · 13-12-2002 2:31pm

few missions with some buddies but basic training not worthy of a purchase for that.

But there a lot of servers still up about 350 last count and all have 64 players which is nice.

Amen Brother

The only thing certain at this point is that Marweas seems to have copped on about the speed aspect of it, since hes more or less saying that skiing will be 'proper' in the next one.

If that holds true, then they need to come up with a way to actually make vehicles useful, rather than being a 'kewl' way to get from a to b.

spooky donkey · 15-12-2002 2:52pm

Well this thread has just inspired me to install the game again i havent played it in over a year. Wonder how many patchs i`ll need now for tirbes 2.

Look forward to tribes 3!

Someone did post and aks for this TRIBES 3 thread not to be turned into a I hate/love 1/2 flame war hehehehehe

Tho i would love if Tribes 3 got both sets of playes back playing again.

I hate when good games die to early.
Tribes still has servers but if it was more like 1 it would have more players still playing it.

I loved tribes 2 and since I only played tribes 1 after 2 could never get into it.

Hehe, good luck, I've had many a scrummage with Dusty and the likes.

But as long as there's someone on the production team who knows what gamers want I'm looking forward to tribes 3!

Operation Flashpoint Resistance CTF + vehicles tbh, though tribes is lots of fun too.
BF1942 doesn't "feel" quite right.

Asuka · 16-12-2002 2:32pm

If it brings back that ol' tribes 1 magic, i look forward to it

spooky donkey · 16-12-2002 9:51pm

well i tried to give tribes 2 another go after seeing this thread, but i had to download a 88 meg patch so i said to hell with that!

Hope tribes 3 doesent suffer the same fate!

AntiPop · 06-01-2003 5:22pm

The rumour mill has been working overtime on this one yet there has been no game info released at all yet

The one rumour that could be true is based partly on fact. It is true that Sierra have signed 2015 (of MOH fame) to make a new action game for them, many are suggesting this could be T3.

As for those of you who liked T2 but disliked the pyhsics well the latest patches has solved that. The newset patch includes "Classic" Mod, a mod which brings back T1 style pyshics and add that to the T2 graphics. It's very popular and there are plenty of servers, you may want to try it.

The patch also fixed the age old problems of UEs every ten seconds and the extreme loss of FPS that some people experienced. All in all Marweas and GarageGames did a great job fixing T2, something that is very evident from the number of returning players.

I'm sure with marweas looking after things that T3 will be a hit!

spooky donkey · 06-01-2003 9:12pm

YEha thats good hear about tribes too but no use to someone with a modem who needs the 88 meg patch so he can play a game that you paid good money for. I baught that game the day it came out and used to play it on line a bit. Downloading the odd 1 or 2 meg patch. U give it up for a while, reinstall it, and now its an 88 meg patch!

WOnder if i baught the budget release of would all the new patches be included in that one.

AntiPop · 07-01-2003 12:35am

They are supposed to be bringing out a re-release on budget with the latest patches on, they may have even done it already.

Fact is 88 meg is not much bigger than some CS patches, guess they figure people will download them.
