Whether this sequel will be able to transcend the niche appeal of hardcore sci-fi shooters with a steep learning curve is yet to be seen. Modern battlefield FPS titles have set a low entry bar for player skill, and T:A’s deep movement system, coupled with a penchant for projectile weapons, can easily frustrate newcomers who find themselves unable to mindlessly rake in kills. Tribes: Ascend is not a newbie-friendly game, which is a great selling point for a segment of the FPS crowd, but it may cost it mass appeal.
Online games have become the pastime of choice for everyone, no matter their age. And here's a list of the best free online games for 2017.
Back in March of 2013, Hi-Rez broke the news to its Tribes: Ascend fans that they would need to take several months away from the game in order to focus all its efforts on SMITE. Several months became more than two years, and fans were beginning to believe that Hi-Rez would simply never return to Tribes.
But the recent 1.1 update -- a.k.a. the Out of the Blue Update -- has proven those naysayers wrong.
If you thought Hi-Rez Studios were done with Tribes Ascend, think again. Today they are launching a major update to the free to play shooter that fans of the original games might just approve of.
Really liking the beta for this. I never played a tribes game b4 but the tutorial on how to ski and use your jet pack tells you most of what you need to know. Currently doing really well prob around a 2.0 kd or a little less.
