Title: can you say... TRIBES 2 ON THE PS2!
Post by: unknown on April 28, 2001, 07:04:28 AM
yes! im so happy, i was really pissed when i found out my PC wasnt good enough to play tribes 2, well now i can save 200 bucks and just buy the PS2 version, it looks like its going to be a straight port of the PC version but they may soup it up a bit, wich would kick ass, :) they are going to reveal more aobut it at E3, here is the link:

http://ps2.ign.com/news/32400.html

and a quick quote:

Additionally, for what\'s it\'s worth, EBGames.com has listed Tribes 2 as a PlayStation 2 game, due this October. EBGames has on many occasion listed many games that either don\'t exist, or have been cancelled, as well as having listed games that will indeed come out. This one is dead-on.

While the Tribes series, a popular team-based first-person shooter series, functions mainly as an online-based game on the PC, questions about the PS2 functions, online or not, are certainly an issue. Will the game be online? Single-player only? How will it work? Unfortunately, when reached by telephone today representatives from Sierra has no comment on Tribes 2 for PS2.

Our sources have told us that Sierra is indeed in serious discussions about how to bring Tribes 2 online via PS2. It\'s also known that Sony Computer Entertainment America is looking long and hard at possible online games to flesh out its online cadre for its online plans this fall, and that Tribes 2 many be one of them.


are they going to surpirse us with online play?? if so then we will have a b!tchin online game to start the clan with mwahahahaha

who else is siked about htis game?

Great news - but it either needs FAR better single player experience than PC has to offer, or then it HAS to have online-play.

I have watched my friend play the game in his PC very jealously, but now I will get my opportunity!

Just think about it - psx2central CLAN playing Tribes 2 online! ( a dream wich I hope will come true... ) :)

The online-mode of Tribes 2 must be included. An offline-/splitscreen-version of the game would\'nt be as much fun.

Tribes 2 is more based on teamplay. Every Team has some sort of base and has to defend is against opposing teams. You can also use vehicles to get from one place to another. The teams also have to complete some sort of mission-tasks.

It\'s more like Halo than like Q3A/UT.

Tribes 2 rocks (online). It doesn\'t make sense without online play. (It would be a good game for the PSX2 central clan)

i think that this will be a great game for Sony to launch it\'s online service with. It\'ll be very cool.

but the thing that bothers me is that Tribes 2 really needs a keyboard to play with. all those binds to different things that can be doen... wow... i have never imagined Tribes on a console...

I really had my doubts about online play on PS2, but now its starting to look pretty sweet .  I was a big fan of the original Tribes (it was the first online game I ever played) and was dissapointed by my PC\'s inadequacy to run the game.  I agree, it would really need a keyboard since the command issueing system and all is too complex to run only on a controller.

Of course this is great news, but the controls will be **** compared to the PC.  It will be hard for ps2 gamers to play against pc. it wouldn\'t be fair.  Can u imagine how hard it would be to snipe with a dual shock?

thats why they should consider K & M compatability, im pretty sure that most online games will have K & M compatability, but you never know, it would kinda blow to play Tribes 2 on a Dual shock ocntroller, i mean its far 2 complex to even put all the moves, features, how are the teamates supposed to communicates with eatch other, unless we type what we have 2 say, thats why im pretty sure we will have K & M compatability

I don\'t think that you can play against PC gamers.

Tribes 2 on PS2 is nice. But not without online play... And how long will that be?? The game it out now on PC. :(
