I don't think people get it.
We already have Tribes 1, Tribes 2, T2C, and Legends.
People keep making idiotic posts that are besides the point. Do you people think we are just trying to bring the best of T1 and T2 into a game, main purpose to create better graphics?
We are not graphic whores, as the more hardcore players drop out almost anything that cuts a few frames off their FPS.
So what is the purpose for making a Tribes 3?
TO BRING NEW PEOPLE INTO THE COMMUNITY!
That's the ultimate goal. I already have 3 games that give me the great feel I want, with decent enough graphics, unfortunately, the numbers are no longer there.
So therefore we must build a new game, market it, and sell it as one. To re-create the hype that T2 had behind it.
While a mix between T1 and T2 with better graphics may be what we want, and end up with, the key and reason behind making a Tribes 3 is to simply bring in a few thousand more players, in the hopes that a few hundred become die hard competitors.
To do this, we need a few things.
A) Tribes IP
B1) GG to make game
B2) We decide what main features will be in our game
C) Money to help fund development
D1) Word of mouth, create hype on other forums
D2) Money to get the word out
E) Money to distribute it
Now. There are different ways we can go about doing this. Marwease has suggested a way that requires heavy investment. I have suggested a way that is easier on the pocket books, that bypasses any publisher. Hopefully someone will come up with an even better idea then both of ours combined. Only time will tell.
I am sick of throwing our threads off topic to explain this to people, so here it is, laid out so you freaking morons with no comprehension skills will hopefully understand.
