I was wondering who the heck Hi-Rez studios was. Then I followed the link and learned it is the company that brought us Global Agenda. Since I've not played it I can't pass judgment on their coding, but their marketing department does know how to get the word out.

GA looked cool, and I tried the demo, but my PC couldn't handle it. I can play any other game out there, but GA.

still. persistent tribes characters might be cool.

I agree that persistent characters would be cool.

I do remember that there were quite a few T1 players with names like "snake", "sniper", "iceman". Would be nice to pick out just one.

I'm hoping that they do a good job with it. I'd like to be as excited about getting a tribes game on the first day, as I was with T2. No game has really delivered that for me.

thanks for the heads up. I registered.

I registered.

Remembering buying Tribes 2 really brought home how much I miss playing the game we all played years ago. Tribes:Universe could breathe life back into the franchise.

I just hope my hopes aren't shattered.

Hi-Rez Studios announced last year that it's doing something massive with the Tribes IP. It just revealed a much smaller-scale project as well. Tribes: Ascend is an Unreal Engine 3-based, multiplayer-only, downloadable Tribes game heading to XBLA and PC in 2011.

Just hearing "Our flag is secure" amps me up!

Registered.

Anyone register a clan/tribe yet? Don't think we have enough old XMEN online to fill out a tribe, so maybe we play under ATF or DTM or something?
