Sign up for the Tribes Ascend beta today
If having some hands-on time with Tribes Ascend at PAX a few weeks ago wasn't enough, you can get even more if you're lucky enough to be selected for a closed beta starting within the next few weeks. Of course, multiplayer betas are pretty commonplace these days, but I feel like Tribes Ascend is a game that really needs one. Having all those players competing in huge levels is a recipe for a messy game, so you can bet Hi-Rez Studios is going to be taking a lot of player data from this beta. Hey, that rhymed! Those interested need only head over to the website and sign up. As mentioned earlier, it's a closed beta, so register early. I know it's been a long time since the last game in the franchise came out, but you guys are itching to play Tribes Ascend, right? Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I missed out in this property on it's first outing but I don't plan on making that same mistake this time around Anyone who played the original Tribes, have an opinion on this? I know they tried to recapture the original many times and have failed to no end. I don't see how this will be any different. I'm kinda mixed so far Volomon, but I'll have to try the game fully to see. The fact that you have to BUY certain lockouts is a huge turnoff for me. Tribes: Ascend lacks a lot of the things that made the previous games so good, at least Tribes 1 and 2. I'm hoping beta feedback will change a few things. As it stands, I'm not very happy with how the game is now and barely think of it as a Tribes game. That said, I'll still check it out at release since it'll be F2P. TB did a pretty interesting view on this game. Beyond the huge ass weapons taking up half the screen I thought it looked pretty good. They did simplify the skiing mechanic though. It's been a while since I played the first one but from what I remember you had to tap the spacebar to gain momentum. It required timing. In the video I saw all you had to do was hold the space bar.
