Yesterday Tribal War posted about the changes in the Thursday Tribes2 patch but they already have info on next week's patch too. This patch will feature a number of videocard improvements besides other fixes. Some of those videocard changes will be trying to improve framerate with the Voodoo 3 and 5 as well as stop the Radeon VE from crashing in Windows 98.

There's info on the changes in the next Tribes2 patch at Tribal War. This patch is supposed to be released this Thursday.

TribalWar has copied the FAQ section from the monthly Tribes2 newsletter, which has news on a Tribes2 expansion pack that's already in the works. This was previously only hinted at.

Q: Are you guys working on an Expansion Pack for Tribes 2 or starting Tribes 3? A: We have already begun design work on an expansion pack for T2. Exactly what will be in the expansion pack is still in flux but we'll certainly include a new vehicle, new maps and missions, and basically broaden the depth of T2.

Word has gotten out from Sierra that TRIBES2 is in serious talks for making its way to the Playstation2 console machine. Sony is expected to be announcing a lot of their online plans for the console at the upcoming E3 event next month. TRIBES2 of course focuses on multiplayer so we may get a glimpse of things at the show next month. The release date for TRIBES2 on the PS2 is being listed online for October of this year although the deal hasnt been inked yet so it must be close to being a done deal if Sony is already giving estimated release dates to distributors. Honestly though I'm still having a hard time imagining playing a FPS deathmatch game on a console without good controls. Playing single player titles where you can move at your own pace like Goldeneye is one thing, but deathmatch online? Hmm... Anyone ever played Quake3 online with a Dreamcast? When using the keyboard and mouse for the DC is was pretty cool but will Sony be expecting everyone picking up TRIBES2 for their system to be getting a new controller to boot?
