    it's amazing to see where a lot of other game elements came from. planetside/2's classes and vehicles seem to be lifted almost whole-cloth from Tribes/2. Command and Conquor Renegade's base-management-based multiplayer is from Tribes. the high-speed aerial focused gameplay of Unreal Tournament is pretty much Tribes gameplay but simplified and on smaller maps...

      If you listen to my interview with Scott Young blood (my most recent video), he talks with great pride about the games that were inspired/made possible by tribes. He also talks about how they did the same with Quake. Wouldn't use the term rip off as much as inspired.

    Thanks so much for making this summary/docu of Tribes' history. I used to love Starsiege Tribes playing against legends like Alpha and Omega and zooming around the map. Later I've played Tribes Ascend but it didn't quite hit the same mark. All by all in terms of both defensive and offensive capabilities and balance I really think Starsiege Tribes nailed it best of all of the entries. And like a lot of other people in the comment section I was very surprised to learn that they have released a Tribes 3 lol

    I need an APC pickup. So one of the things you kind of glossed past was "demo recordings" this was a super-minimal file format which effectively replayed the network events of a match, from the scope of a given player (net scoping is a feature of the network code). This allowed people to store, share, and replay matches without video recording, which simply wasn't feasible at the time. (It was also massively useful for debugging, FWIW)

    • @omgitsfishstix

    Something I recall that I didn't hear mentioned was the ability to record gameplay via a demo mode. That was the first time I had seen that and for me this was definitely what inspired the proliferation of frag videos. It also was when I started reviewing my gameplay regularly and improved a lot as a result. I recall building up quite a library of videos at the time. I'd never seen anything like that before.

    IMO, the missing piece is action. If Fortnite made a Tribes style mode, millions would try it and find it somewhat appealing. Throw in the tower defense people with turrets, some battlefront 2 2017/battlefield bots style BS and more minigames than Fortnite, and you've got yourself a zoomer style subway surfers competitor.

  • @janedoe3043
    @janedoe3043 3 дня назад

    I am going to be frank. I tried the game back at the beginning and i was lost. I didn't take that as an opportunity to search out how to play, j just went to something else. If they want to expand thr game they need to make it for the hardcore players and build a ladder system around great tutorials, single player crafted experiences, low level intro matches with great AI, and then a StarCraft like online game march experience. As medicine gets more complex you don't stop treating hard diseases, you just need better education... And that's how you get people ready for a complex game. If people can get into things like Factorio then people can get into this.

    • @omgitsfishstix

    Does anyone else feel the graphics in this game actually look very similar to most of the Halo franchise? Console games like Halo were so popular, but still look like giant polygon messes compared to the original BF2 for example from that time period. I could never understand why console gamers never recognized how awful their games looked until very recently they've finally improved.

    I started as a beta tester for Starsiege Tribes in 1998 through a PC Gamer editorial. Was in the game for almost 8 years total. In fact, I was the one that convinced them to use ScaraBrae as a map name ( based on The Bards Tale reference ). I went by Timothas Majere at the time but because of Tags for clans, i shortened it to TimoMajere and have been using this name since 1999. Go ahead, search my name. I played Base, Insomniax, Shifter V, Ultra Renegades and even dabbled in the Football mods. Always as Timo or TimoMajere in some iteration ( save Ultra Renegades. There I was {|PIT|} Ceg at one time, I was on 3 number 1 ranked Tribes in different mods at the same time. {KSA} Timo in Insomniax {|PIT|} Ceg on Ultra Renegades [HLF] TimoMajere on Shifter V1. Bring back the T1M1 Master server lists. Tribes would have been great still except Dynamix worked for Sierra at the time and because Tribes was so popular, they forced Tribes 2 to release long before it could be ready for public consumption. Dynamix refused to release an unfinished product just so Sierra could fulfill a quota number. So they disbanded Dynamix and just released the game as it was. a severely broken and glitchy game. It damaged the reputation of Tribes SO badly, It took well over a decade before anyone even considered giving it a try again. Once again, you can find all this info online if you like. Some things won't be found online like how Sierra was more concerned about profit margins at the time because Need For Speed was NOT making numbers like it used to, after its what 7th iteration of the game? Sierra literally had to shut down when they forced Tribes 2 into the public domain and it was absolutely destroyed by reviewers and it never did get out of the gutter.

    I've been thinking about this interview and I think my one big question would be - why was the base game/mod slow for Tribes 2? Classic very quickly became the 'standard' mod that everyone played. My favourite 'fun fact' about Tribes 2 is that the light female player model has a broken left ankle. Once you see it, you'll never unsee it.

  • @scottwatrous
    @scottwatrous 5 дней назад

    it's rough that so many cool games come out that have terrible onboarding and then the devs just try and dumb the gameplay down to help new players. Make more games hard, make the games incredibly satisfying for the players who are dedicated, and absolutely brutally punishing for new players, with the exception that you have really good tutorials and onboarding. I remember trying to play Tribes 2 on our crappy home PC. It looked really cool, and it was fun to try, but I was too young and with too crappy of hardware and internet to really figure out how to play much. I never even really figured out the skiing thing, so I was just getting splatted. Ultimately the parts of Tribes I liked most, the big maps and bases and classes, came out in more grounded games like Battlefield and such so that's where I ended up mostly. And then yeah, Halo and so-on. And then a lot of what was described as big elements of Tribes 2 feels like mechanics that made it into a game I have played more than any other recently, Hell Let Loose. The 3-person armor squads, the mobile spawn point vehicle, the base building aspects (even if they're pretty damn nerfed in HLL) it seems like the bones of inspiration must somehow point to Tribes (even if though another game or two.)

    Damn I just randomly thought to look for a Tribes retrospective and this video dropped only a month ago? Talk about luck. Played SO MUCH Starsiege Tribes as a kid and a little Tribes 2 as well. I still have both install discs even though my current PC doesn't even have a disc drive. I was never very good (chalk it up to playing it too young) but it was even more untenable trying to compete on a 56k connection back in the day. I'm glad you brought up the mod scene on Tribes 1 because that's the aspect of it that is almost completely lost to history. I feel like that scene can really only be passed down as anecdotal history at this point which is crazy and sad. I absolutely played the Football and RPG, neither were very good but I love how insane they were. I remember someone for a tiny window of time made a Dragon Ball Z mod which was quick to dissolve and never return. But people really ought to know how absurdly varied the mods were. I tended to stick with Renegade or Shifter myself but I dabbled with just about everything. And yeah that first game was so far ahead of its time for multiplayer shooters. Vehicles. Classes. Deployables. VGS. Base maintenance. All these things we take for granted now in shooters no one did until Starsiege: Tribes did. Great video on the topic made with real passion and expertise.

    The OCx population for Ascend didn't last very long, the game was painful to play with a high ping, and you would often get kicked due to your ping if you did try to stick around... I didn't buy 3 as the playtest was rough and I figured I'd wait for an update or two to see if it was cleaned up, but we know what happened there...
