at least they are doing something with the IP. after years of bullshit maybe they release something thats fun

of course that's probably wishful thinking

get the skiing like t2c and this could be a lot of fun.

It also sounds like they ae willing to take feedback from the community.

That being said, I hope they can handle the feedback....

You mean, "Hope that feedback won't ever come from TW" ? :rofl:

Two biggest hurdles so far:

1. Unreal engine.
2. The very first testing and feedback will only involve Global Agenda players.

If they make it, I will buy it. It will be the first Tribes game I paid for so I suppose I owe the IP that much.

With that being said I don't think it will be made. That saddens me to say that.

It's already almost into Alpha. They released GA.

So, yes it will be made.

Unreal Engine has made lots of strides since T:V. In addition to UE3, they do have a version that is made for MMOs - but I don't know much about it.

Netcode seems mostly ok in Global Agenda, which is good - stock UE3 netcode probably couldn't handle 64 player matches that also involve the Z axis.

The only slightly annoying thing about UE3 is the texture streaming

I just want to be able to walk around some spacey town and queue up "Raindance" with nice graphics and T1 physics.

I don't want to "LFG: DEFEND STARPORT vs 50 DS PLAYERS n TANKZ PM"
10-26-10 - 01:15 PM
Neither of those scenarios are likely.
10-26-10 - 01:16 PM
Me playing this game isn't very likely either... A boy can dream though.
