Tribes 1 Returns In-Browser At GDC Next Week

Posted by Soulskill on from the a-fad-has-begun dept.

An anonymous reader writes "GarageGames purchased the IP rights to the entire Starsiege Tribes universe, and next week at GDC they'll be showing off their updated version of Tribes 1 running in a browser, using all the original artwork. Afterwards, it will be available to play standalone or via the Instant Action website. While you wait, you can play Fallen Empire Legions in your browser, which is based on the Tribes 2 engine. Their blog entry about the Tribes 1 preview at GDC has further details."

  1. Mac support? yes! by RyuuzakiTetsuya · · Score: 3, Informative

    IA supports Mac, so hopefully I'll be able to get my Shazbot on when it goes live.

  2. Tribes 1 a forgotten innovator by jaggeh · · Score: 2, Informative

    Tribes did effortlessly in 1998 what games are struggling to do today. 128 person games, massive landscapes (albeit primitive) destroyable buildings, deployable buildings. an integrated command and control system that was sorely underused. it also had great netcode for the time iirc. no game in the last 10 years has come close to the epic feeling i got when playing tribes 1 and to a lesser extent tribes 2 (too many issues)

    I would give everything i own for a little bit more.
