It’s been almost nine years since Tribes: Vengeance (2004). The series started with Starsiege: Tribes in 1998, and gained modest popularity part in thanks to its unique (and initially unintentional) movement system.
While Vengeance was decent enough, a falling out between the developer and publisher denied it its first important patch, and the franchise fell by the wayside. Much to everyone’s surprised, Global Agenda developer Hi-Rez Studios picked up the license and now we have Tribes Ascend.
