“Project Z” is the working title for Archetype Studio’s currently unreleased first-person shooter. The game features high-flying freedom of movement, physics-based weaponry, and player choice. Fans of FPS-Z games such as Tribes or Legions: Overdrive will feel right at home, while players new to the genre will experience a new challenge that breaks the mold of traditional mass-produced shooters.

wonder if hi-rez will c&d this

It's called Project Z because even the developers fall asleep playing clones of this stupid game.

yeah i got on and had some fun. most of the servers with good ping for the states seem to just loove that rainy map they added right before they stopped updating it at all. that maps horrible and they only added it so they could jerk off old tribes players.

surely spending resources on trying to compete with DOTA and LoL will introduce a third big boy into the market, with a sprawling community and untold amounts of revenue. it won't be totally ignored and die within weeks, no way

league of legends is basically a runaway off the wall success story considering how almost every other small company moba is insanely unpopular and nobody has ever heard of them. there's even ones that weren't based off of dota that have all of 5 people playing them.











so basically its like seeing someone fish a $100 out of a trash can so you quit your job and dedicate your life to dumpster diving for spare change.

SMITE is a better game then any of hi rez's other turds which doesnt say a lot but its a successful product for them.

hirez is full of retarded fags who are incapable of making a game that's not a f2p progression bullshit piece of lame trash. i'm pretty sure they would have made more money on it if they just sold it for $40 or something.

tribes ascend is honestly good and you progress at a good rate and unlock stuff often

it was a solid revenue stream for them and it won countless awards for being one of the best f2ps ever but as Larry said they quit working on something solid to go chase the moon

HAWKEN could have been cool but it was caught in this weird zone between Call of Duty and a mech game and it didn't really work as either. It was hyped up real big too.

Tribes Ascend was fun and I spent a little bit of money on it. Shame they ran it into the ground and abandoned the wreckage for SMITE.

no one ran it into the ground lol it was doing just fine and then hi-rez literally abandoned it because some MOBA bullshit was more important than their long standing game a ton of people still played

o, i heard people complaining about new pay 2 win stuff a while back but I guess people always cry pay 2 win. my bad.

Still it was a fun game. SMITE is like DOTA for people who want to play DOTA but don't for some reason.

there are a few unlockable guns that are better all around or compliment their class a little better than the default does, but honestly that's more a matter of taste than anything. like the stealth spinfusor for infiltrators is technically better than the SMG because you can break base stuff with it, but if you're good at regular guns they do more damage than spinfusors anyway. there's also an energy rifle for the sniper that's a little easier to hit with but does less damage and drains energy so you cant really use it while moving. this is OP somehow.

they did the same thing with global agenda. it wasn't amazingly popular but it had a decent playerbase and they basically never updated it again after starting tribes. it's insane how much of a one-track-mind their company has.
