  • *reads all the originality mudslinging*

    ...and Duke Nukem 3D (which had jetpacks) came out two years before the first Tribes game. Whoop. Dee. F@cking. Doo.

  • @Gazdakka Before you bash on the game, do your fucking research. The original tribes was originally supposed to be like any other shooter, but the "Skiing" was invented when people began to exploit a glitched loophole in the programming which allowed the players to build up speed when moving downhill, and then jumping when they started to go back uphill. Tribes: Ascend simply built itself around that glitch in order to turn the game into something new and original.

  • @ILUVPIEALOTZ

    And what is *your* problem? I wasn't bashing on -the game- at all. Indeed, clarify where I did so. I was only bashing on those who harp on about the concept of originality like it's some treasured relic, and most notably, those who believe that Tribes was the first shooter to use jetpacks. It wasn't - I amended them of that.

    Maybe next time you should consider the content of a post you're responding to before you make a wild accusation.

  • Such a rip off of FIFA Soccer 12.

  • so wats up with unreal tornament and this game bein the same thing?

  • Why doe severyone showing footage of this game (aside from a few) suck at it.. i'm not amazing at the game but atleast i know how to Ski

  • Who the hell cares what came over first. All we really need to know is that Tribes is innovative, faster, and better than most shooters out there today. And the kicker?

    It's free.

  • skiing ... fking brilliant ! 5 stars 4 dis game

  • fuck war simulators, I wanna play a ski simulator!..........with guns!..........and a jetpack!

  • Cool I got a beta invite hope my computer can handle it

  • @cooldude5361

    Hope my laptop can handle it...lol

  • Ive got ultra high graphics activated.... PREPARE FOR FUN!!!!

  • I just got an invitation to the beta.

  • @keetonman same

  • @Figneritout It makes you feel good, then you see the gameplay and its a Unreal Tournament clone.

  • @DCMPdotcom

    Exactly.

  • well..... now we know where halo got all its ideas from.

  • @EvilBatmanX Yep they made a time machine before Halo one and traveled to 2011 then went back 10 years and made Halo, aaah clever Bungie ah;)

  • @R4G1ING Actually, Tribes 2 was the inspiration for Halo, Bungie made Halo as a console port for Tribes 2. Funny that.

    The amount of depth by the way in this game scares me. It's going to be toned the fuck down on the console port. :(

  • @superjchamma Aaaah sorry my bad, didn't know when the other Tribes came out etc. Shame it's gonna be toned down though, like putting a cap on its awesomeness ;)

  • @R4G1ING I think the same happened to Battlefield 3, but BF3 is still awesome. We can only wish for the same with Ascend.

  • @superjchamma Uhhhh no... Halo and Tribes have pretty much nothing in common. Unless you found some sort of jetpack and skiing (the two MAJOR components to tribes) in Halo.

  • @superjchamma Also, Tribes 2 released only months before Halo did, so if there was ANY inspiration for Halo from the Tribes series, it was from Tribes 1, which has even less in common.

  • @R4G1ING Tribes is 14 years old...

  • @FatherNicodemas Bit late coming in the convocation ya know, we've already been over that...

  • @EvilBatmanX dude... the original halo came out over 10 years ago... are you kidding me?

  • @xbjohnson Tribes TWO came out in 2001....

  • @xbjohnson tribe ascend came out before halo stupid

  • @mbeinkemtaji Tribes Ascend isnt even out yet.... Tribes 1 and 2 were tho

  • @EvilBatmanX how can u say that halo got ideas this. halow as originaly going to be a stratergy game and you had playable charecter (master cheif) but it didnt work so they went with an fps instead. but this is more about freedom of movement and more consentrated on multiplayer. dont get me wrong iv played tribes 2 and tribes vengeannce and i love them. but how you can relate this gameplay i dont know.

  • @rofftop4 forgive my spelling mistakes my laptops was slow

  • @EvilBatmanX I'm sure this game wasn't even in development before November 2001.

  • @MrZ0mbiE3000 Actually, Tribes 1 was released way before Halo was a twinkle in Bungie's eyes. Tribes 2 also came out before Halo.

  • @beaugagne Someone said Halo stole stuff after Tribes Ascend.

  • @EvilBatmanX you do know that the game hasent even been released yet right? (just sayin)

  • This makes me think of Unreal Tournament.

  • GOTTA GO FAST

  • @qurazy Otherwise you're slow.

  • tribes is coming to xbox 360 or not?

  • @iCryBloodrevive You.. never played the first tribes did you? :P

  • i remember playing tribes one..........I'm so Happy XD

  • Comment removed

  • Why are you using that POS gun?! All you need is the disc launcher.

  • @aceuno15 Its call the spinfusor

  • Look guys, its Halo 4!!! but still looks pretty awesome

  • @xBritishkidx LOOK GUYS! This guys one of many who has no idea Tribes came out before Halo :)

  • @BenjiTimbers I know ive played some of the older tribes haha. Im just saying it reminds of halo more for some reason

  • @BenjiTimbers

    Halo's actually not bad. In fact, IMO it's the best modern shooter out there (Plays like a retro shooter while keeping modern influences). What do you think?

    (And yes I know Tribes came out before Halo. Tribes and Halo are my favorite games asides from Turok 2 and Half Life 2. Oh and Mass Effect 2 but that's like.. modern.)

  • Advanced version of Call Of Duty, look at the melee and the speed of the character... except the environments are different and the weapons.

  • @azfar70196 and the fact that the gameplay is noting like CoD besides the fact it's an FPS, yes it is CoD, but then so is Halo, the BF series, Gears of War, MoH and every other FPS out-there (ps. CoD isn't even that orginal of a title, try CS, Quake, Unreal T. ect)

  • @DrPatrick36 you're right but Gears is not an FPS ;P

  • @azfar70196 LOL, you obviously don't know shit about gaming. The tribes games have been around for WAY

    longer than cod and are nothing like it. Cod is shit how can you compare it to this? Go suck it Mw3

  • @raboffsky Lol, I dont know anything about gaming? I'm richer and I own more games than you. Anyways I got the BETA Key for Tribes Ascend. So Fuck Off, you dont know me.

  • @azfar70196 Ah yeah rite, do you really feel so butthurt that you feel the need to brag? You're funny man.

  • @azfar70196 Lololol you know nothing about gaming if you think this is like Call of Duty. Unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful.

  • @azfar70196 Holy sh1t you are a retard.

    Melee?

    SPEED OF THE CHARACTER?

    Call of Duty you move like f*cking... turtle speed when you're sprinting.

    Call of Duty has overpowered one hit k/o melee lunges.

    If anything, the only modern game this bears any remote resemblance to is Halo. And it's still different to that too.

    Richer than him? Own more games? If you own sh1tty games like CoD than he's already got you beat because he's not wasting his time with that crap.

  • @Ins3ktz You gotta relax, I can buy you and sell you. Next I'll murder you. I have Call Of Duty. I'm playing Battlefield 3 right now and I noticed I had a mail. Mail; Reply from Ins3tz. Suddenly you just came argueing with me and saying bullshit about me and Call Of Duty. Boy, I hate that game and I dont like non team players. I played Tribes Ascend BETA and it was gorgeous. Thats all I got to say. Don't argue with me cause its a bad idea.

  • @Ins3ktz Btw I respect you because you're a Halo Player. But what you need is to chill on commenting.

  • @azfar70196

    I'm just pissed at you because you say that you're richer than him and therefore a better gamer.

    Also, I thought you were dissing this game for being a CoD clone, which it is not even remotely resemblant of.

  • somehow i just got an email form these guys? like what?

  • This has potential to be AMAZING, and it looks like they've stuck with the originals as closely as possible. Props to you, HiRez!

    It's like Tribes 1, 2, and Vengance all in one!

  • another version of halo i bet

  • @dodoball99 you mean halo is another version of tribes

  • @dodoball99 lol The original Tribes game came out in 1998. It's sequel, Tribes 2, came out in March of 2001. If anything, Halo is another version of Tribes.

  • @yerfdog1935 Halo was announced in 1999, and was planned before that.

  • @ThePandemic101 And the original idea was much different than how it turned out.

    Also, dodoball said "another version of halo i bet". Most likely meaning that he thinks this is a new IP that's trying to copy Halo. Which it isn't. Because this series came first.

  • @yerfdog1935 If you look at the first tribes, it didn't have this style, but now with this new one, it is starting to look a lot like halo.

  • @dodoball99 How is this game like halo

  • @dodoball99 actually, halo is another version of tribes

  • errr xbox360?? Really? With it's 'We make you wait 4 months before you can implement even the smallest patch' policy?? I thought this was a first person shooter/mmo - that doesn't compute with no regular patches.

  • Heard This Is Free To Play Is It True?

  • @DingJie29 it is true

  • My all time favorite fps is back. November 4th, baby!

  • @Redmow51 yeah and apparently ur pc doesnt have to be good like ur graphics card, btw is this game gonna be free on nov 4

  • @TheTurkBrah free you say? hmmmm... I AM SO HARD RIGHT NOW

  • @TellNoMore hard? well i asked coz they said it was gona be released on nov 4

  • @pivotshowz no its not

    from what i know there was starseige tribes (T1 1998 T2 2001 T vengence 2004 i think and now Tribes ascend

  • @wyvren1990 Don't forget Battledrome ('94), Earthsiege ('94), Earthsiege 2 ('95), Cyberstorm ('96), Cyberstorm 2 ('98), Starsiege ('99), and Aerial Assault ('02).

  • Damn. I was like 7 years old the last time I played Tribes. 18 now....

  • this game apared first and only after Halo!

  • Wait, this game will be on Xbox? I thought it was only PC Free2Play?

    *cautiously gets hopes up*

  • IM BUYING THIS GAME FOR SURE

  • @Jpbureau1996 its F2P

    

  • Comment removed

  • @wyvren1990 great well im getting this game for sure

  • What are you smoking? Quake was out long before Tribes. Hell, we even had qwtf before Tribe even existed. Yeah, i played Tribes back then, and never liked it. Even HL was better. Tribes was just plain boring. I hope they redeem themselves with Tribes 2.

  • @huldu ...

    There already is a tribes 2?

  • @TheGallantDrake Tribes 2 has been out for 10 years dude xD

  • @thebigenea I was pointing that out to huldu, who said that he hopes they'll redeem themselves with tribes 2.

  • SHAZBOT!

    

  • this game looks like fun

  • EVERYONE LOOK UP STARSIEGE TRIBES ON WIKIPEDIA. There we go, problems solved.

  • what a shitty game :(

  • I always loved Tribes, But the graphics are a bit dissapointing unfortunately.

    BUt i definitely would like to bring some good memories in game.

  • @Zoza15 The graphics are beyond expectation... What are you talking about?

  • Oh man nostalgia

  • is this free ?

  • @shkljg why would you think that?

  • Anyone who thinks Tribes is a ripoff of Halo has either: A) Never played Halo or B) Never played Trives. Either way it's a shame, both of these are great games in their own right.

  • TRIBESSSSSSSSS

    

  • Okay no destruction but I don't care gameplay is sick is it outnyet

  • Ps3?

  • I really hope they keep the part when the guy says, "I GOT YOUR NUMBER I GOT ALL YOUR NUMBERS!" That was my favorite line in the whole game!!

  • Can you rocket jump in this?

  • @ocarina2boy Go away

  • Comment removed

  • i want this on xbox but oh well

  • Nice game Play video Free TO PLAY ON STEAM COMMUNITY Gonna Be Epic Fuck COD3 this game gonna be great.

  • Tribes = Best franchise ever created.

    Except for Tribes: Vengeance...

  • Cant wait to play this. Best memories of pc gaming is tribes.

  • Klondike bars suck

  • WTF they dumbed down skiing?

  • I seriously doubt you could play this on a console without a mouse. 

    Tribes skill > Halo skill.

  • Why are people talking about Halo with this? Seriously. As a fan of both games I see no similarities past the fact that they're both futuristic Sci-Fi shooters. Quake, Unreal Tournament, and Halo have just as much in common with Tribes as Star Wars does to Star Trek. Probably even less. If you actually played these games you would know this. Ascend looks to play just like the old Tribes games and I'm hard pressed to find anything that seems as though it has blended in with any of those games.

  • Tribes came out before Halo.

  • Guys don't be discouraged with all the new weapons, loadouts, etc. The game still plays the same like another tribes game. If your really good with spinfusor, mortar, sniper and can get midairs all the time (like me) then you won't even notice the power of some of the new weapons. Also, you guys don't have to by loadouts. Yep, don't have to. You can either buy them or win them through gameplay.

  • I know I'd snap your neck for a Klondike bar! Get off my dick woman!

  • oh plz lord let this game be on xbox 360!

  • @bostonianful it is!

  • @Binswees

    Yeah, Halo is Tribes son you fucker.

  • Ahh well, they have decided to ruin a very good game, what a shame.....

  • :D yay this will be a time waster

  • The game looks pretty. I just cant fathom the gameplay as intense as T1. Go watch the legacy video for those of you have never played Tribes. Remember this was in 1998. Before most people were even playing online games.

  • it looks like one of those annoying custom games in halo were gravity is low and running speed is 300

  • mann i remember tribes 2 back in the day ... that was the game :) im soo happy to see it rebooted ,,,, hopefully mw5 will be rebooted as well!!!

  • im 14, i loved aerial assault

  • is sad to see kids that don't know tribes was like this WAY before Halo quake and all that....

    clueless kids :( 

  • @gaspar30 Yeah , i still remember Starsiege:Tribes ...

  • @gaspar30 'm 14 and I know that :C don't stereotype man it ain't right

  • @Nicro327 I'm*

  • @gaspar30 im only 15 and I know what it is

  • @gaspar30 I'm a big Tribes fan myself and this is in no way hating on the series, but Quake was before Tribes. Just so you know...

  • @gaspar30 Yeah I played the crap out of Tribes in back in highschool. Christ im old!

  • @gaspar30 Quake is 2 years older than Tribes.

  • @gaspar30 chillout man it was only 3 years before halo and there not even that similar in terms of game structure, stylistically there are similarities but who cares.

  • @BrownCreature you're replying a 1 month old comment, enough said.

  • @gaspar30 are you saying your comment doesnt hold up? also i am in no way being critical of tribes, ive never played it before but it looks AMAZING and i cant wait to have a go.

    I was merely commenting that comparisons between fundamentally different games is pointless.

  • @BrownCreature mhm, witty, read kid, did i say that? no, it says what it says.

    i'm not saying you're critical about it, stop looking for an argument, my whole comment is based of avoiding comparisons....

    dear god kids just don't read anymore.

  • @gaspar30 id say my comment was attempting to end any arguments but your pathetic little mind cant seem to work that one out. In fact my comment basically said i like tribes so stfu, but apparently you're not able to get that so fuck it lets argue. OR you could learn from this and not respond.

    this illusion that your age gives you intelligence is astounding and its people like you that cause the younger generations to think that they are so smart. now suck my dick.

  • @BrownCreature lol you seem completely unable to read, and you like to put words and your dick on ppl's mouths, i don't care for you age, i call everybody kid, but you seem to be quite insecure, and you thought i was patronizing you, i got a paragraph out of you with just a couple lines.

    KID you need to learn to read and understand ok? attaboy, don't reply, you don't have anything left to say. ;)

  • @gaspar30 OH BOY you don't know what i have left to say, that's the thing when you feed the troll. the more food you give it the hungrier it gets. if you look back at the very first reply that you made you should be able to see that your pointless little comment, a comment about replying to another comment!, was the cause of this amusement your misplaced arrogance then forced you to continue this interaction even though i am clearly you superior in every single way, and i do mean in every way.

  • @BrownCreature see? where do you get all those projections? kid you've got issues, and allow me to continue feeding your rant, YOU replied to ME, and YOU keep replying.

    keep running your mouth kid ;)

    and you keep repeating yourself you're better than me kid, please, that made me chuckle.

  • @gaspar30 I'm so happy I made you chuckle, this little conversation has become mutually beneficial.

    I did reply to you, well done. I made a teeny-tiny comment about useless comparisons between different game and they're styles (id like to add that the different platforms emphasises the absurdity) and you felt the need to reply with one of the most useless comments if seen on youtube.

    So what if a comments a month old it's still valid, or did you change your mind? [had to cut it down =( ]

  • @BrownCreature my point was, you felt the need to reply what you state as a "useless" comment, i find every comment of you useless, i was making fun most of the kids who all of their world is halo and cod, but obviously something inside you got offended by it. sorry about that, feel free to keep ranting kid.

  • @gaspar30 this is hardly a rant and my comment was not useless when compared to your own.

    further more the only thing i was offended by in your comment was the unbearable hypocrisy. for some stupid reason you had to make tribes ABOUT halo and cod. why couldnt you just let the 'kids' (and to me you sound exactly like a 12 year old fan boy) enjoy their ignorance and posted a meaningful tribes related comment.

  • @BrownCreature are you ranting about a comment on a PUBLIC forum as it is youtube? kid the internet and the 1st amendment are not for you, and 31 ppl agree with me, how many ppl agree with you?

    i can leave you and your ignorance alone now, i didn't know they were so easily offended.

  • @gaspar30

    what the hell are you going on about in the first sentence, we already discussed that this was not a rant and what's the issue with youtube being a public forum?

    furthermore im not american so your amendments dont mean much

    those likes were from before i commented and are most likely to be from mindless youtube vegetables rendering their opinions and life useless.

    If you want to leave me alone w/e, this was fun, i look forward to playing you in tribes.

    had to delete a lot again =(

  • @BrownCreature dude, that little number of yours qualifies as a rant, and nooo the only replies come from you my butthurt friend. it's a figure speech Einstein, i was aiming for freedom of speech, what a mind teaser huh?

    and if it was so fun why are you so unsettled?

    don't you realize that this WHOLE conversation started with you rant about an opinion? are you THAT insecure? sad boy.

  • @gaspar30 seems we have different definitions of a rant. imo a rant is *usually* a single, onesided post, this is clearly not.

    i gotta say i like how you finally bring in the 'mean' words like butthurt, what happened to calm and collected?

    and freedom of speech is fine by me but why did you reply to my first comment is that manner if, according to you, i was perfectly valid in doing so?

    furthermore i dont see how a discussion about tribes could 'unsettle' me.

    ill continue in another reply

  • @gaspar30 and this sequence of comments (i'll not call it a rant, since it's not) didnt start with a rant against other peoples opinions rather that their opinions are misplaced since there cannot be a comparison between halo and tribes outside of the pure aesthetics of the games.

    also since there is noooo way you are a qualified psychologist i would not be throwing around the word insecure, it's mighty hypocritical of you old man. you're making this convo for more important then it is.

  • @BrownCreature

    1. youre ranting like a pro

    2. it's common sense, look how desperate you are for the last word. insecure.

    3. old man, lol cheap attempt kid, cheap attempt.

    4. MY POINT exactly, no point of comparison, but you kid can't read!

    i could be a psychologist, you don't know, it's beyond proved i'm at least smarter than you. plus, freud is not that hard to read, try kant, that shit gives you a headache.

    i lol big and hard at your frustration kid, feel free to dispute.

  • @gaspar30 i feel like listing

    1. You're arguments are non existent, you either pose statements as questions or just state what you think about me, since you cant say anything on the original issue.

    2. your view of common sense is not 'common' a insecure person would usually deny or try to divert any discussion of a certain issue

    3. old man since i'm apparently a 'kid'

    4. if there was no point of comparison why'd you compare them

    5. ive read freud, jung & brill

    6. smart i think not. ur job?

  • @BrownCreature cheap, again. sad kid.

    1. i'm not giving arguments cause this conversation is a little less than futile.

    2.it is common sense, since you can see at plain sight that you're too damn insecure to stop replying, while i'm not replying virtually anything, and you still get upset.

    3.still, cheap attempt. uninspired.

    4. and you want me to believe you read freud? how can you read freud if you can't even read one simple comment? where do you find a comparison anywhere on my 1st comment?

  • @gaspar30 cheap still equal true.

    1. if it is so futile why do you keep coming back. you must be 'insecure' according to you.

    2. you cant use 'its common sense' when you clearly lack any sense.

    3. pretty obvious its a counter to your assumed view of everyone as kids

    4. i could easily ask you the same, all you did was throw out a famous psychologist's name, great you can at least wiki.

    5. doom came before all of those games but it's not compared to tribes, the same is true for halo.

  • @gaspar3

    next time actually do what you say, get off your fat ass and go outside if this 'rant' is futile.

    otherwise you clearly have some problem if you're returning to something that you have already condemned.

  • @BrownCreature dude, you need to learn how to read, it's worrying that you can't extract a concept from a paragraph, anyway, i'm done with you, i had my amusement XD i bet my ass you're still scratching your head, but well quotes Nietzsche: "is not easy task to understand unfamiliar blood"

    by the way you haven't read freud, feel free to reply, i don't have the interest to keep reading your senseless rants. bye.

    my advise is, get yourself some friends, and learn to read.
