Tribes: Vengeance Demo Released

Single-player demo? WTF!? Aside from that, the game seems good so far I guess. The spinfusor is so much slower (as in projectile velocity) than T2. This will take some getting used to. Probably a good thing though. Wouldn't want all the T2 vets owning the game as soon as it's released.

My Demo Impressions :

The graphics are really well done, bloom effect on lights and great water effects. Texture detail is great and the models looks great, especially faces. The sound is good and the music was good and never took control of the everything you heard. The level wasnt entirely big since it was a Gladiator type onslaught of enemys in an arena, but it was fun having your teammates getting the turrents and leading enemies into them.

Teamwork was a bit scripted, but it felt great none the less. The physics are both well done like when an enemy goes down their body flings around since the jetpacks are still on. However they are also a bit loose as just a little bump into a corspe and send it flying back. The story seemed intriging despite only a small cutscene. Irrational is a great company at making singleplayer games and stories (System Shock 2, Thief) so I have trust the rest of the singleplayer game will be great.

You don't understand, what i mean! I want that a LOT of gamers play a non beta mp demo!

those giant sideburns hurt my eyes

Liked Tribes 1 & 2 ...

This game is pretty I guess, its nothing special up against any of the newer game/engines graphic wise.

Gameplay - doesn't do a thing for me, at all. I really hope the MP is better cuz that demo really ruined it for me. Absolute poo.

Tried the demo, tried the beta.....

I loved tribes1/2 but this just doesnt do anything for me...

ya it looks nice and stuff but i dunno. Just meh..:(

So I'm DLing now... is SP just MP with bots or is it a quasi linear objective based type level?

Cutscenes in Tribes? lol.

what are some good settings for an mx700 mouse?

i can't seem to find a good settings to make it feel comfortable... seems like the mouse accel or something is really off...

should i disable mouse accel in games?

i didnt know DX9.0c was even out.

I really enjoyed the demo, very fun and challenging! loved the physics/effects/models/ect! Can;t wait to try out the retail version~!

the end of the demo is just round 9 right? I died at that part and have no interest of doing it again.

Who cares about SP???
Want MP-demo NOW!

Meh - pretty lame. Looks like the game has a STORY, which is cool... but this level is pretty meh. Its just a big circle arena where you fight round after round of ppl. Not hard, either.

boring to be honest... the mp rocks your ass though, and what else matters with tribes? although i hold out minor hope there's more "level" levels and not so much arena stuff for sp... but ill live if not

Tribes?
Singleplay?

Is it basically like UT2k4? (which is sorta like Tribes)?

Because that'd be totally cool with me. B)

dammit... downloaded from fileshack... run the installer and it unpacks but then it starts an integrity check and says integrity failed and won't install it :(

i've been having so much freakin' fun with the beta... i just don't know what to do with myself. except skip this cuz it's single player only

oh, and the spinfusor}s is so bad ass once you get the hang of it. BLAM. a+++++ would mid-air disc again

With how many bugs I saw two weeks ago in beta, I'm surprised they can release a demo already.

as mentioned, it's irrational, so it will probably be great.

The only thing i really remember about the game from previews was that there will be at least one set of missions where you end up playing two characters.

first you play the character who goes into a base to retrieve something, then you play the one who stayed behind to cover your back. the longer you take in the first mission, the longer you're going to have to hold off enemies on the second mission.

sounded pretty cool. I really haven't followed it much though.

Isn't tribes singleplayer an oxymoron?

Oh, I thought this was going to be both SP and MP demo. Oh well, grabbing it anyway.

Is this like last games where SP isn't worth bothering to look at, or have they changed something?

I'll try this out...
