Not a smurf. Just being squirrelish. If you don't know who I am, you really don't know as much as you think you do about Tribes.
The company that can afford to spend as much time polishing as creating will always win (See Blizzard, BioWare, Valve) and companies that cut corners will always lose (See VUG, Take2, etc.)
3D Realms will really be kicking ass once Duke Nukem Forever comes out. They've been polishing that for years.
That Marweas and Thrax even managed to get T:V greenlit is the miracle that should be discussed most. Those guys did an absolutely superb job of making a compelling case and lining up great talent to get the game done.
It sounds like you are trying to re-write history, I was under the impression that tribes was massively popular and fans were chomping at the bit for another to be made. The market was and IS there, maybe your team just wasn't up for it. To me its absurd that makers of tv can post about how great of a job they did when their game sold and did the worst out of all tribes games?
hopefully, someday, another team of folks can build a real, updated version of tribes and stick it in your eye.
Blizzard is not owned by VUG. VUG is a publisher for Blizzard games, that's it. Blizzard is a self-sufficient developer.Ironic considering Blizzard is owned by VUG. I get your point though considering VUG seems to have essentially given Blizzard a blank check.
We need to do a countdown until Diamondback enters this thread.Now if we could get Thrax and Georgeson in the thread it'd be a real party.

Oh really?Blizzard is not owned by VUG. VUG is a publisher for Blizzard games, that's it. Blizzard is a self-sufficient developer.
Vivendi Games owns six global development studios including Blizzard Entertainment, Sierra Entertainment, Radical Entertainment, Massive Entertainment, Swordfish Studios and High Moon Studios.

In fact, from what I've seen from Battlefield 2142, maybe they already have (I haven't played it, but I loved Battlefield 2).
sorry Yogi, I was judging by the packed tribes 2 servers every night and the sold out lan party's I went to.
