The problem with "tribes vets" or anyone who loves tribes is they need to not play Legions to compare it to Tribes. "Well in Tribes you can do THIS. Why can't I do it in Legions? Legions sucks!"
The tribes players playing Legions need to be aware enough to say "Okay, this is NOT Tribes. The developers have said so. I should not even compare it to Tribes. I need to figure out if the game mechanics in THIS game are fun and work well."
All too often I'm seeing people say "...like in Tribes..." or variations. I understand that it is just to give a reference point and that's fine, but I just want to caution everyone to give Legions a chance to leave it's OWN impression on you. This isn't Tribes, it's a completely new game although it has aspects of Tribes in it.
Anyways, play on.
/Agree
But its hard to not compare to Tribes or giving weapon/mods/maps reference from, cause legions looks like a sequel or prequel of Tribes. Some devs seems to come from the old tribes devs team (not saying old as mummy héhé).
Lots of FPS that have been done lack of something, i played a lot quake, unreal bf etc, these game rocked a lot, but there is always something that lack off : Giant maps, starbase floating at high altitude and the crazy jetpack. Legions reminds us that Tribes bring something solid in video games, so that's why all (i think) Tribes vets are always comparing legions to some Tribes 4..
FE:Legions will be it's own game, inspiring by the best made, and surely inspiring by Tribes. Look at the other fps genre, for a long time we say hey its an Doom-like/Quake-like.. Legions will be quoted under Tribes-like and its not a bad word.
Waiting for the beta too ;c)
