Tribes: Vengence Beta

Anticrombie0909 · 09-5-2004, 05:10 AM

Who downloaded it? If you want it, you can sign up for free at Fileplanet, I'm not gonna link it because I'm lazy. But for those who did, what did you think?

Personally, I thought the jetpack and ski based combat was hilariously fun. The weapons are (mostly) effective, although some are awkward to use. This game is all about getting higher than your opponent and conserving jetpack fuel. In the air, it's quite hard to hit you- especially since bullets seem to have an unnatural amount of lag. But on the ground, you're a sitting duck.

The air vehicles are okay, but the vehicle physics for the buggy absolutely BLOW ASS. They're so twitchy and floaty and it has the virtual mass like it was made of cardboard. Plus, this is reeeeeally buggy...anyone else get those clipping errors where they'll be stuck in one spot, twitching whenever they try to move? Granted, that's why this is a beta, not a demo, but they can't release the game in this state.

Anyone else have thoughts?

Yeah I took the time to download it. Tribes has always been fun, and it seems to me that this one is no exception..Theres always some way you can mess with the game

Yeah, Anticrombie it's extremely buggy..I'm suprised they didnt put "Tribes Vengance: ALPHA test"..And for some odd reason last time I tried to jump into an air vehicle, I crashed (The game, that is). I havent gotten on since...Hopefully it was a one time thing.

I hate the stuck glitch. Only way to get out of it is to kill yourself.

I woudl feel less silly flying around in a vehicle if it didint look like giant testicle.

Otherwise, midair discing is fun. And so is manning the Burner Turrets.

By the way, THE ASSAULT SHIPS OWN.
