Our First Fleeting Glimpse Of The New Tribes Game

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

[[link]] Fans all yono app of the deep, strategic, jetpack-powered combat of Tribes have been clamoring for [[link]] a new game since the 2004 release of Tribes: Vengeance. Hi-Rez Studios delivers this year with Tribes: Ascend, a downloadable game for Xbox 360 and PC.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Hi-Rez already had a pretty good head start on creating a Tribes game in their massively-multiplayer online shooter Global Agenda. In that Unreal Engine 3 powered game, teams in combat armor jetpacked their way across futuristic landscapes, participating go rummy in massive multiplayer battles with other players. In the Unreal Engine 3 powered Tribes: Ascend, players will likely be doing something quite similar. We first thought Tribes was coming back in 2009, when gaming portal InstantAction teased a new version of Starsiege: holy rummy Tribes playable in a web browser. InstantAction [[link]] went down last year, and Atlanta-based Hi-Rez Studios revealed that they were the new holders of the Tribes license. https://kotaku.com/instantaction-brings-tribes-to-your-web-browser-5171349 Hi-Rez teased a persistent-world version of the game called Tribes Universe. While that game is still on the way, Ascend is coming out first. https://kotaku.com/there-is-a-new-tribes-game-coming-30860203 “Before Halo, before Modern Warfare, and before Battlefield, there was Tribes.”, says Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios COO. “Tribes fans appreciate the game’s essence – athletic FPS combat combined with teamwork and strategy. As we began development of Tribes Universe, we focused first on capturing that essence – refining and modernizing iconic elements like jetpacks, skiing, and vehicles. We’ve had tremendous fun play-testing and realized the potential of a multiplayer focused title ahead of Tribes Universe. The community has been waiting for a multi-player shooter that is the modern successor to T2. Tribes: Ascend is that game.” We’ll no doubt see more of Tribes: Ascend as the year progresses. Seeing as Hi-Rez Studios is only three exits down from me off of Georgia 400, maybe it’s time for a road trip. Also, I tip my hat to Hi-Rez for calling the game Ascend, a name so easily bastardized should the game not live up to expectations.

The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.

I wish there were more free spins available, but even with the current promotions, I have a lot of fun. The themed slot games are creative and engaging, keeping the gameplay fresh and entertaining every day.
