Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

I've never played Tribes so my first impression is that it looks like Unreal Tournament but with lowgrav and lots of sliding around. Might be neat.

It was the grand daddy of so many genres

I just have such fond memories of the OG Tribes.

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh me too bud, first clan, first time hosting a gaming server, lots of firsts and good memories.

It looks exactly like Ascend but with slightly better graphics.

I hope it does not befall the same fate.

This is the same one announced the other day, right? Or are there two Tribes games in development?

After what HiRez did to Ascent, I am out on any game the ship until they prove they won't do it dirty.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The studio behind this one (Prophecy Games) is independent from them now, but still contains some developers who also worked on Ascend. I know from hanging around the forums at the height of that game that there was at least 2 headstrong devs in the company that legitimately wanted to do the game justice (and one of the best updates to the game was headed up by them), but they ultimately were at the mercy of the execs. I'm hoping without the same constraints, they might deliver a kick ass game without the bullshit.

Miss the size 64vs64 of Tribes II, miss runs with a loaded transport, Juggernaut on the back. Strike covering. I know it's playable still, I check in every so often.

[–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Awesome, the physics look like how I remember them from Tribes 1!

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago

Oh hell yeah! I hope they bring back Hunters mode. Such manic, chaotic fun.

[–] MisterMoo@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Looks great. Tribes 2 was one of my favorites back in the day.

[–] REM0VED@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Great 3dfx memories
