Love the new look of it...I don't know if it is me though but I should probably bookmark the forums now since there isn't a direct link anymore.

Loving the look though

Thanks to Neolight again for the awesome artwork!

I wish for Neolight to draw his impression of Cyrbids from StarSiege... the epicness would overflow.

I've played tribes for like 10 years and thats the best image I've ever seen done. Why couldn't they put something like that on T:V box?

Cybrids and Bioderms appeared in Earthsiege: Cyberstorm, I'm not sure if that predates Starsiege but I still play it all the way thru every year or so. I wish someone had made a decent sequel to it, instead of Corporate Wars which sucked, the gameplay and tactics are still enjoyable today even if the graphics are dated.

Anyway, sorry to go off on a tangent. The news of any kind of update to the PlayTribes site is good news because progress and updates have been positively geological (think glaciers before global warming or continental drift).

"PlayTribes | 1988 is Back."

 

 

I didn't even notice that. 

That's funny.

lol, haha never notice.  Oh well some great games were released in 1988...

Oh and although 1 year after it was the year of developing the great game Mother

Cyberstorm is set in the StarSiege universe, and yes it was a good game and I do enjoy it. However, I wish them described as they appeared in the StarSiege, not during the later parts of The Chase and earlier parts of The Diaspora (given that I'm pretty sure Cyberstorm predates The Firetruces in the timeline).

Nevertheless...

"Play at PAX".

It's coming soon enough. eh? 

*goes back to tweaking Tribes 2 in Linux

Because I was 12 years old.

Due to some strange number blindless or just seeing what I thought and expected to see, I must have missed that one. I assume that's how the person who wrote the page missed the typo.

For reference:

1988 - When those of us who played games at home and not in an Arcade were probably using Commodore 64s and the lucky ones were using Amiga 500s.

1998 - Games were being played on PCs with dedicated 3d graphics cards and 56k internet (wooo! feel the speed).

2009 - Games are still being played on bigger more expensive PCs and graphics cards with powerful cooling fans that would put a vacuum cleaner to shame. Internet somehow seems slower inspite of multi megabit connections being common place.

2018 - Someone releases a new and improved version of Tribes: Vengeance. Everyone on the Tribalwar forums still hates it.

2088 - The ZettaQuad quantum state memory drive is released. It's storage capacity is so large that it can hold the sum total of all internet pr0n. Humanity stops breeding and becomes extinct in a generation.
