Holy shazbot an other Tribes game announced. Tribes is the best competitive multiplayer shooter ever if you disagree must be because you suck!

Never played tribes myself. But from what I have heard its fun.
of course you should fight fire with fire you should fight everything with fire.

I'm from wales where the men are men, and the sheep are scared.

Don't take me toooooo seriously I'm a welshman.

I played Tribes a bit back in the day. Very innovative game and well ahead of its time. Last game I played that was anything remotely that different in FPS would be Shattered Horizon.

(though, you should be saying 'HERCs)

Though, I think this is just the official title of Tribes Uni.

Edit: Nope, a bit of googling reveals this is a Tribes: Aerial Assault sequel for XBLA and probably PSN. For PC, it is a Tribes 2 "sequel".

When will full game/demo/beta be released?
         We're planning a beta release in the next *very* few weeks. At this time, we can't be more specific. Please stop asking.

No, I will not stop asking.

I've only played Tribes 2, and it was awesome, so I'll definitely be following the progress and this one.

Sadly, we'll definitely see all the Halo fanboys getting their panties bunched up and claiming, "OMG such a Halo ripoff!" not knowing Halo stole so many things from Tribes to begin with.

Tribes is the greatest, but too bad they didn't have any actual gameplay to show us.

Wonder if it'll be as hardcore as the original two were...?

Then let them cry, half the BT-community is whining that the Japanese have stolen their mechs from battletech ;)

Loved Tribes 2, just hope they don't take the path of Tribes: Vengeance and dumb down the teamwork and replace the awesome vehicle pads with shitty battlefield style vehicle spawning.

Tribes:vengeance did a lot wrong for tribes, I also fear that the dumb it down further.

i'm not getting my hopes up.  Tribes has always been an extremely hard FPS to play is so far from "casual friendly" that there's no way a controller can emulate the twitch necessary for the fast paced, high flying combat of tribes.

Back in the day i played the hell out of tribes 1 and 2 and was pretty decent at it.  I jumped into a T2 games a few days ago and barely remembered how to heavy ski.

Something has to give in the complexity cause you KNOW this has to be on console :p

^I wouldn't be so sure about this game going to consoles. These are the guys that made Global Agenda, which had no console port...
