I would take that a step further, and say more like Tribes 1 with modern graphic. I feel like the modding community was out of control in a good way on Tribes 1. Flying around with unlimited jetpack and a automatic sniper rifle in Ultra Renegades trying to capture a flag that's is in a base that's booby-trapped with a bunch of turrets was way ahead of it's time.
It still blows my mind that 007 Golden Eye existed as a popular game at the same time with Starsiege: Tribes when they were worlds apart in quality and gameplay.
- Arrath 4y agoThat takes me back. I vividly recall some ultra-heavy armor that toted around 6 chainguns, 3 on each side of the screen. It was great at blotting fast movers out of the sky. The modding scene for Tribes 1 really was something else.
- yardstick 4y agoT1 remains my favourite Tribes game, especially with the mods (Shifter ftw!). T2 was ok, but too focused on glitz and I didn’t like the change to the skiing mechanic.
- xbar 4y agoI'm with you. T1 discfusor sniping+skiing was deeply satisfying.
- causi 4y agoTribes was released over a year after Goldeneye.
- joshstrange 4y agoT1, I randomly was thinking of this just last night. I put so many hours into that game and loved the mods. Putting laser turrets behind shields/walls to protect them was so cool. I think it was the first fighting/building game I'd played (FPS at least, I loved AoE/StarCraft/etc) and I wish I could go back to those late nights playing with friends.
- danbolt 4y ago> It still blows my mind that 007 Golden Eye existed as a popular game at the same time with Starsiege: Tribes when they were worlds apart in quality and gameplay. I agree with your overall sentiment, but I do think that GoldenEye was relatively more accessible in terms of MSRP and technical setup.
- raisedbyninjas 4y agoBattleField 1942 was released a year after Tribes 2. It got a bunch of praise for FPS & vehicles, built-in voice chat, seamless outdoor AND indoor environments. It sounded familiar.
