Tribes: Ascend beta gameplay video
Developer Hi-Rez Studios released a new trailer, showing off beta footage of the jetpack-infused gameplay of Tribes: Ascend.
Yesterday's reveal of Tribes: Ascend's free-to-play status predictably evoked mixed emotions. "This free-to-play stuff ruined it for me," one Shacker said. "Every time I see that a game is going to be powered by microtransactions my excitement and anticipation level goes to zero and I automatically write it off," another responded.
But before you plug your ears at the mention of Tribes, perhaps you'll want to take a look at gameplay footage? Developer Hi-Rez Studios released this trailer, showing off its jetpack-infused gameplay.
Does it live up to the Tribes legacy? Will you be giving it a try when it launches later this year? (Obviously, the cost of entry isn't very high...)

I will def. be following up on the XBLA version. Stay tuned!

Looks like fun. Defo worth a couple of hours test run when it comes out.
-
Looks like they're using the vengeance/legions-style smooth skiing. Honestly I prefer this over the jumping to gain momentum in tribes 1/2

If skiing is anything like Tribes 1 or 2 physics wise (not as familiar with T:V) then it actually requires quite a bit of skill.
-
Last time I played you still needed to touch the ground to ski, and I had no problem hitting them with explosives at that point.
And didn't Tribes 2 let you hold down space to jump whenever you touched the ground anyway?

I think you pretty much just held jump down in tribes 1/2...right?
-
no, you actually had to time your jumps to ski. if you just tried to run down a mountain, friction would eventually stop you. vengeance introduced those skiboots where you could hold down spacebar and friction would just stop.
T1 skiing was way better because you had to figure out when the right time and places to jump were, which made skiing more of an art on the aesthetic side, and very dangerous on the combat side.-
But didn't most people use skiing scripts. I know Tribes 2 modeled its skiing (where you held down the jump button) after T1's scripts (which most people used I believe).

Still can't understand any of these complaints when it's free. Put your hand in your pocket if you want the full works in games like this, you stingy tossers! As for the game, it looks pretty fun and I'll definitely give it a shot.

What many people are afraid of is that the game wont be about skill or knowing how to play. They worried that just to play they may be forced to buy things though microtransactions just to compete with people who spent a small fortune on upgrade and bonuses. So, in short the game isn't about skill it's about how much money your wiling to spend to kill other players.
For free I'm going to try why not.

sounds awesome. i never played tribes much.

For those that don't know, you can download the full game of Tribes 2 for free from here:

Get the patch there so you can play MP. -
TRIBES IS BACK, Tribes is back baby!! I just wish this free 2 play would go away. Please go away. Maybie if I wish hard enough and then go to sleep, when I wake up it will be gone.
-
looks bad tbh. I bet it feels like a clunky UT3 mod. Why fuck it up by making it micro-transaction based. Somewhere I am still hopeful, but it looks like UT3 with jetpacks more than anything. Base building is where its at.

I intend to play a fuckload of this.
