    Tribes: Vengeance Announced 4/24/2003 3:06:21 PM by Evil Avatar
    News today over on TribalWar is that Tribes: Vengeance has been announced. The newest game in the Starsiege Tribes franchise will use Epic's Unreal-engine and be developed by acclaimed developer Irrational Games.

    In Tribes: Vengeance’s single-player campaign, gamers become immersed in a roiling galactic thriller. Throughout the game, the player catches glimpses of other, interrelated stories that are unfolding behind-the-scenes. In addition, gamers are given the opportunity to experience the full scope of the single-player story through multiple viewpoints and characters. Powered by an enhanced version of the Unreal Engine, the world is brought to life with characters that have facial expressions and fully-realized personalities, vehicles that kick up dust as they pass by, and weapons that display spectacular effects.

    “Our plan is to not only enhance the multiplayer component of Tribes, but to also blow people away with a single-player story unlike anyone has ever seen in a videogame,” said Ken Levine, general manager of Irrational Games.

    Tribes: Vengeance will also build upon the series’ legendary online multiplayer action. Irrational Games has hired one of the Tribes community’s leading developers, Michael “KineticPoet” Johnston, to head up the design and creation of the game’s multiplayer component. Johnston previously created Team Rabbit 2, a major Sierra-commissioned game modification for Tribes 2 that was included in the game’s commercial re-release in late 2002. “Being involved in the design and execution of Tribes: Vengeance is a dream come true,” said Johnston. “In the coming months we will be actively working with the Tribes online community to make sure they get the multiplayer game they’ve always wanted.”

    I'll have to side with Dane on this one. T2 was supposed to be the "all that and more" game, and it... well, wasn't. I'm just trying to picture here in my head playing UT with a jetpack, and the images do not make for friendly gameplay.

    Tribes had it's day, and we all mourn for it's loss. There will never be another.

    Sierra = Vivendi.

    They won't go out of business. The rumor is that Microsoft is going to buy Vivendi Interactive in the US. They are going take the good stuff and cut the fat.

    Kinetic Poet will do a fantastic job, btw. he was innovative with some of the changes he made to improve T2 team rabbit. He found it difficult to work with the buggy code and was quite creative in getting around certain sticky situations and attempting to improve enjoyment of the game. He hated the depth perception problems with that engine as much as I did. Too bad some of his changes couldn't have found their way into the mainstream CTF game types for T2.

    His presentation at Tribes Council last summer was impressive.
