MODERATORS
Generators, Turrets, Mortar, Sniper-Rifle. Now it's just missing vehicles from T2. Color me cautiously optimistic.
Edit: read some steam reviews. less optimistic now.
This is an FYI for any Tribes: Ascend fans. Tribes 3 is basically being developed and published by Hi-Rez 2.0. Prophecy Games is a spin off of Hi-Rez Studio and is run by the owner.
For those not familiar with the history of T:A, Hi-Rez released the game as free-to-play, had some of the grindiest of grinds (took forever to unlock the spinfusor for just one class), and a monetization plan that was targeting whales. There were balancing issues that needed to be addressed, promised features left undeveloped like competitive, and they basically abandoned the game within a year. They moved their developers over to Smite while things degraded leaving the player base salty AF. You'll have to visit that other site for the history, but this is probably a good starting point. And I can't forget that the CEO never took responsibility for their horrible monetization plan.
Now I would hope that ~~Hi-Rez~~ Prophecy would have learned from their mistakes because Tribes is one of those games I hold a special place for. However, they released a pair of day 1 DLCs that each costs more than the game itself.
I’m not falling for it again
Hell yeah, Tribes is some of the best gaming I've ever enjoyed over the last six hundred years 👌 I hope it's good.
