Interview with Todd Harris by Cyberlink

I got a 1 on 1 with Todd Harris from Hirez Studios to talk about Tribes: Ascend. We cover closed beta, gameplay goals, server stuff and the new social system. This interview is for the forum users, enjoy.

I was pretty excited, until they said "hit scan weapons"

Way to go HiRez.

Ruin this once great franchise. Your arguments and reasonings are so full of shit...i hope you and your stupid ass decisions drown in it.

They were almost completely removed.

+1 on upping the speed and disk jumps, hopefully what I saw 2 or 3 weeks ago of ppl skiing around the map was BEFORE the increase in speed.

Seems to be a lot of ability to maneuver thru the air too which Im hoping will go a ways to making up for not having down jets which Im sure I will miss from legions big time.

Read their message boards, derp. The only thing that fails more than the game is your post. ^

You mean like the laser rifle from Tribes 1?

Strength of a class based game= Rock Paper Scissors.

[MrF0dd]

can anyone tell me what happened to tribes universe?

i was looking forward to an massive mmofps game but then they announced this and i havnt heard anything about tribes universe since

so does anyone have any idea whats going on with it?

I'd love to get into beta. I played Tribes 1, shifter mod for years as a clan leader in Diamond MultiMedia and then HomeLAN Fed. Glad to hear you guys fixed some things from PAX because I found the inertia and disk-launcher-based momentum messed up. Also wanted space bar to make character jump and THEN have jets start going down. Felt like jets burned away way too fast.

Thanks mate, great interview.

@variouspeople,

Yep, having never played a game makes you qualified to judge it.
