yeah, i'm hoping we can basically get 'tribes: ascend but done right from the beginning this time' but i'm not exactly super confident that it won't be mismanaged to poo poo

Ugh, why is Tribes so cursed? I played the first 2 games to absolute death for years.
Vengeance sucked rear end except for its surprisingly ok singleplayer campaign and I didn't have the computer to play Ascend until it was already dead!

Then there were a couple of knock offs that came and went.

You know. Leather.
Tribes Ascend was my only Tribes game but I had a lot of fun with it for a time. Dropped out of playing it before the apparent shitshow and abandonment. If they could recapture what made it good in the first place with the new game, I would like that. Skiing down mountains at breakneck speed, shooting razor disks at dicks

Midair plays great but they botched the release of it and no one plays it anymore except a dedicated group on a discord playing PUGs.

I don't know what's more cursed, a modern Tribes followup or a modern S.T.A.L.K.E.R. follow up.

They specifically mention that the physics team from TA is involved, so without playing it I can safely say it's dead in the water

I would definitely say Tribes. Hypothetically, STALKER 2 is being made in adverse eastern European conditions like its predecessors and--thanks to bombs, fires, and disruptions--would have every promise of being as janky as its ilk.

Midair 2 is currently in closed beta, hopefully they can fix whatever those issues were. (I haven't been following it for very long but a mutual friend gave out some keys.)

Yeah they performed a 180 on the decision literally 90 minutes after explaining why they were bringing NFTs to STALKER 2. GSC saying "sorry, sorry I'm trying to delete it" while the ink's still drying.

Any word on how Robocop runs on fairly cruddy hardware? Family PC is a Ryzen 5700GE with 32GB RAM and an Arc A380, and try as I might I haven’t seen any vids of the game running on that card even though it’s the base listed requirement.

I think they opened it up recently and there are regular playtests on weekends. It's LT mode only tho. Light armor restricted 6v6 which the pug ppl have played since t1.

The Dusk Dev tweeted about it earlier, but EVERYTHING in Robocop explodes. I've literally never seen anything quite like it. The first time I threw an exploding gas tank I just sat in awe at the level of carnage. Its like some alternate timeline of FPS game dev.

I have a 1080 (non-Ti), 16GB RAM and an i5-9600k and it runs pretty well with a mixture of Epic/High settings, using TSR at 70% for resolution scaling. The screenshots above used these settings and it looks great! I think the biggest thing is UE5 seems to have massively increased the number of dynamic lights and shadows which adds a lot of overhead, but does mean it looks great even in plain environments.

One of the skill upgrades gets you a dash move which helps with that, but in general I'm ok with how slow Robo moves.

Also the final boss is just loving stupid, both in a fun way and in a tiresome way. It's a hilarious idea to put the old man in the Robocop 2 body but the fight itself is probably the most boring in the game. It's very "to defeat the cyberdemon, shoot it until it dies".

In the way that everything explodes and has particle effects out the rear end.

Trepang2 finished, and other than the fairly bullcrap final fight, it was friggin' awesome! Loved the very tight action which forced you to use everything at your disposal. It's really the best successor to F.E.A.R. we've gotten. There are tons of things to do like all the combat simulator fights and hunting down the rest of the weapon attachments while playing on higher difficulties. I'm looking forward to the future story content!
