Tribes Vengance !
« on: January 16, 2004 09:08 am CST »
Check it out. Makes T2 look like a DOS version game. Runs off of the Unreal engine.

You have no idea how much it worries me that they will pull another t2.


Minimum Requirements:
Radeon 9800 XT
AMD 64FX
512 Dual Channal PC3700 DDR

Oh, and when I read that you can change mod variables in game, I literally jumped up in joy.

t:v rpg = Iron Sphere

And t:v is beyond ofn i think every tribes player has known about it for the past year already.

I am also sceptical as to how this game will be. The thought of a single player part is discouraging and makes me wonder if they dumbed down the game even more than they did with tribes2.

i think they are doing good things with t:v

obviously they are utilizing the fact that the option of making mods for tribes 1 is the only thing that is making it last so long (they are allowing in-game variable changes [stated by UnderGod]).  its hard to tell so far away from release, but maybe they are putting a little more attention on gameplay?  it doesnt take a genious to realize that the graphics are dazzling, but maybe that is making up for something?  you never know..  just playing the devils advocate here.  those requirements really are harsh, though..  the minimum requirement for graphics card is the best card radeon has out right now!  i guess a new line of cards will release before t:v does, but still..  makes it hard for their game to be available to those with a limited budget.

I was being sarcastic with the specs I listed, With maybe the exception of the Radeon.

You have to realize though.. This isn't the same DEV team.. And these people unlike Sierra, spent more time playing Tribes than T2, because it is blantly that Tribes is much better.

Half-Life 2 has just as good, if not better graphics than T:V. Don't kid yourself thinking they are trying to hide something with them. Games of this day and age need graphics, or they just won't sell.

As for the single player.. Though they say it has a really nice story, it will also teach you some of the skills you will need to develope for online play..

Remember, the game won't handle like Tribes and T2. Not with new netcode, and a smoother engine.  That however, doesn't mean that it still won't have the classic Tribes feel to it.

Nothing will be as good as tribes, i have come to accept that. Tribes was a fluke, if it wasnt for the unfixable bugs (skiing) it would never have been as great as it is.

It would just be nice if t:v was at least similar to tribes in the good aspects. But im assuming it will be more like XMP/ut2k4 than tribes. I dont care how good it looks, how well it can mod, how many new stupid weapons and crap they add, all i care about is gameplay.

Im lost here...when u say gameplay and such between T and T2, I just don't get it...what is the gameplay and how is it better? T2 seems to be pretty good on its own with the interface and graphics and online stability...im lost here.

the things you listed are exactly what gameplay isnt.  gameplay is basically the quality of fun that you have while playing the game.  is it easy to manipulate the controls, are there many annoying aspects about movement or the way your gun fires.  gameplay, the reason why games were invented.  basically, is it fun or not?

tribes 1 wouldnt be the same without skiing..  the fact that you can go so fast is what makes the game fun!  tribes 2 destroyed that.  it feels sluggish and unresponsive.

i guess your right undergod, t:v is being developed by different people..  i just hope its something new and doesnt turn into a ut2k3 or the like.

Gameplay is what makes games better than others. Its what makes people perfer quake 3 over ut2k3. Has nothing to do with gfx, stability, ect ect.

T1 has something no other game has and its hard to explain it. I dont believe you really played tribes till you have played and competed with the very best tribes players to play the game. And i doubt anyone here has really done that besides me, but i think sil and undergod might know what i mean...

what is skiing? and i guess im realizing what u mean by that...tribes 2 is kinda slow paced and stuff...quake 3 i like just cuz its so upfront with the guns and destruction and stuff..its fast paced and destructive.
