I may be kicking a dead horse here but we just had a Perfect Dark HD released for the XBLA market. There are many games getting this "HD" title after their name to give it that shiny new coat. You may feel that their are suckers out there that are foolish enough to buy games of previous generations and justify the purchase because the graphics were redone and presented as HD. You find me that game I want, make it HD and I will be the sucker to buy it. If by any chance a publisher buys the rights to this game, remap the controls and give her a new coat, we may be surprised in how well the console community may take this game. For those who never heard of Tribes, think of it a BFBC2 with jetpacks, vehicle and CTF gameplay for a quick rundown.
A game not too long ago came out called Section 8. Some have claimed this being like Tribes and in so sparked my interest. So I downloaded the demo and played many hours of the game. After each match, I still could not make the connection that this would be similar to. Each game I played, it just keep reminding me of TF2 gameplay with the Halo 3: ODST skin and attitude.
Personally, I would like to see a Tribes 3 made for the Steam/XBLA/PSN marketplace with a $10-$15 price tag like Battlefield 1942 was without the abandonment issues. I am also a fan of tighter maps like the decission DICE did with BFBC2 making slightly smaller maps to increase the frequency of firefights and keeping the action not hard to find. Tribes is strictly a multiplayer game and still have this unique shooter feel where verticality is key and firefights feels more like a dogfight vs the twitch reflex. Each map in the past brought in different gameplay to maximize success in that particular environment wheither it being a fast pace CTF on a smaller map or the epic battleground with the rules of Domination and CTF are put together.
Would you take the opportunity to play this game if it was ever released on XBLA or PSN?
