spindoctor Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 it's going to be a free to play game with microtransactions. unless microsoft suddenly changes their mind and allows that to happen on xbox live, you can assume the xbox version is on hold.

Tyler Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 I've been thinking of creating a thread for this for like ages. Thanks for creating it. Loved the original Tribes. Played it a lot on LAN during college days. It was a very different experience compared to most MP shooters back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRINI87 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Tribes: Ascend Will Be Playable At QuakeCon 2011 Hi-Rez Studios announced today that Tribes: Ascend, their upcoming free-to-play FPS that is based on the Tribes universe, will be featured at QuakeCon and playable by the public for the first time at the annual gaming convention. Tribes: Ascend is a new generation of the online multiplayer shooter, incorporating classic Tribes elements such as fast-paced jetpack enabled combat, skiing, and vehicles, combined with teamwork and strategy. Tribes: Ascend is being designed by Hi-Rez Studios as a AAA free-to-play title. Although the game is still in Closed Alpha, conference attendees will get the first public hands-on with Tribes: Ascend at Booth 333 of QuakeCon, held in Dallas, Texas from August 4th-7th 2011. Attendees can also register to win a limited number of keys to the Tribes: Ascend Closed Beta. Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios COO said: “QuakeCon has been called the Woodstock of gaming and we’re thrilled to introduce Tribes: Ascend at this show. QuakeCon has always delivered exceptional, competitive multiplayer gaming… for free; and that’s our mission with Tribes: Ascend.” src:dsogaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRINI87 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Tribes: Ascend Revisits the Series’ Glory Days I first played Starsiege: Tribes at the 1998 E3 Expo in Atlanta, Georgia. A relative newcomer to the multiplayer first-person shooter, I fondly recall ignoring whatever objective our team was supplied with, instead spending my time whooshing about the map with my jetpack, giggling to myself. Eventually I got a copy of the game for my home PC, and things got a little more serious. I still swooped through the skies, but I was swooping with a purpose. The enemy had our flag, and I was going to get it back. In the early days of online first-person shooters I was younger and sharper, the competition less polished. Capturing the flag was a possibility. Thirteen years later my reflexes aren't like they used to be. A combination of players that have honed their skills for over a decade and the mutant game-dominating children we've been breeding leave little hope for victory on my part. As I sat down for my first round of Hi-Rez Studios' Tribes: Ascend, I felt like I might have a shot. For a brief moment, it was 1998 all over again. Fans have been waiting for passable sequel to Starsiege: Tribes for more than a decade now. Tribes II introduced some neat new ideas (skiing as a feature, pre-selected equipment loadouts), but was plagued by bugs and poor performance. Tribes: Vengeance, developed by Irrational Games of BioShock fame, was released with little fanfare in 2004, smack dab in the middle of the releases of Doom 3, Far Cry, Half-Life 2, and Halo 2. Needless to say it didn't sell very well. The now-defunct InstantAction dabbled with a web-based Tribes, but the game never came to fruition. Which leads us to Atlanta-based Hi-Rez Studios, which in 2010 announced that they were the new owners of the property, along with plans to create a massively-multiplayer online shooter set in the Tribes universe, similar to their first title, Global Agenda. But before we get Tribes: Universe, we have Tribes: Ascend, a multiplayer-only online shooter that feels a great deal like the original Starsiege: Tribes.

Aftrunner Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I like the look of thise. Esp like the fast movement speed. Gameplay reminds me of Section 8 which itself borrowed nicely from the older tribes games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRINI87 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Tribes Ascend to get additional class customizations Hi-Rez Studios' free-to-play multiplayer shooter, Tribes Ascend, is currently locked into a class-based system where loadouts determine what weapons and equipment players carry. That looks to change slightly with an upcoming patch for the PC game that is currently in closed-beta. src:examinar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
