Tribes Vengeance Visuals Impress

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a PlanetTribes post showing off a new set of screenshots (proudly proclaiming the game '29% complete') for Tribes: Vengeance, a forthcoming Unreal-engine PC FPS being developed by System Shock 2 and Freedom Force creators Irrational. The title is an eagerly-awaited sequel to a franchise once thought extremely unwell, and an earlier preview at GameSpot explains that this newly unveiled title should ship in late 2004, and will concentrate on both single and multi-player gameplay aspects this time round.

Impressive? Try Depressing.

I'm supposed to be impressed by this?

Sorry, but IMHO these look like something a couple years old now. Sure, the sky textures are pretty enough, but other than that I don't see anything useful here at all. The game models, both landscape & character, look horrendously low polygon.

I'm HONESTLY not trying to be a snob or flame or whatever, but after the images of Half-Life 2, this looks so.... 2000.
