Marweas still hasnt told us about getting fired

I remember that bike (3 wheeler) they were going to have in T2. All the vehicles in T2 (When it was announced) had wheels. I wonder why they took the wheels off and made them hover craft, save the Jericho?

From what I heard they didn't have enough time to work the kinks out of the contact physics and going hover was a quick fix.

is that why they keep showing that ugly ass rover on TGE demo?

 

[FalseMyrmidon]

Get rid of the bugs at launch and I still think T2 could have been a real hit. Even with the differences in gameplay.

I've always thought this.

Tribes does deserve one more chance, couldn't possibly have another flop again! It was a perfect flop storm!

arent you no longer on 5150
you might want to change the sig

Vir is just getting his panties bundled because his (ex)fellow 5150 mates 'left' like the prissy sluts they are.

It would be cool to know why the darkstar engine was canned. Was it just unable to be graphically improved or were there other factors as well?

It used glide. The opengl was just a hack job.

Hell of a hack job. Thanks, Dave Moore!

I remember one of those settings made it so I could look through some walls from a distance.

so what is TGEA going to use, direct3d? GG seems to be thumping microsoft alot lately

 

[FalseMyrmidon]

one thing i want to get settled

T:V's art direction was like T2 in the beginning...wtf happened?
it went from this style to this...
who's fucking idea was it?

Holy shit I'd never seen those before. The earlier artwork is fucking awesome.

 

[FalseMyrmidon]

Hovering vehicles equal an extra 50k sales over ordinary rolling vehicles. Probably was to avoid some technical problem knowing the development of the game heh.

It was because they kept getting stuck and flipping over and shit.

Couldn't do those awesome wildcat jumps on that water map if not so it was the right move.

 

[FalseMyrmidon]

Wildcat was a lot of fun although it wasn't too useful in actual competitive gameplay. Just fucking around with it was a blast.

 

[Infamous Butcher]

Wow It's shocking that this thread stayed so civil. Anyway, to those who were involved in creating T1/T2 that posted in this thread... Thanks for the good times.

 

[SonGohan]

All right, Col/Ryan.

On that note, close/lock this thread and delete the forums.

Nothing left to prove now!

Remember the WC during T2 beta? That thing was a riot...it was so loose, you could pull off some really awesome stuff...

 

[Tantric Rex]

Someone tell me where tribes extreme is at.

 

[{TF} KhaviN]

[Theta]
