Quote:Vivendi Universal Games announced today that their upcoming PC first-person action game Tribes: Vengeance has gone gold and will ship to retail stores in the United States on October 5th. A multiplayer demo for the game will be made available online before the game is released.
A single-player trial version for Tribes: Vengeance and more information about the game can be found at the official website: http://www.tribesvengeance.com.

In Tribes: Vengeance gamers become immersed in a roiling galactic thriller. Throughout the game, the player catches glimpses of myriad interrelated stories that unfold behind-the-scenes and is given the opportunity to experience the full scope of the single-player story through multiple viewpoints and characters. Utilizing the all-new Vengeance Engine powered by Unreal technology, the world is brought to life with characters that have facial expressions and fully-realized personalities, vehicles that kick up dust as they pass by, and weapons that display spectacular effects. Tribes: Vengeance will also build upon the Tribes series' legendary online multiplayer action by continuing to focus on team-oriented goals and fluid movement. Particular focus is being given to making Tribes: Vengeance easily accessible to the video game modification (MOD) community. Irrational Games and VU Games have worked together to ensure that Tribes: Vengeance's game modification tools are easily accessible and robust.

I'll be picking up this one!

Congratulations to the Vengeance team.

@Logan: I totally agree. Do you know if people are still working with Realm Wars? Seems kind of dead. Was wondering if maybe they might be changing the community project to something more like Legends? Maybe let the GG community build a Tribes like game. Then GG could put it on the market, take the money it makes and use it for further Torque developement.
Just a thought.

@Mark:

Quote:Now to answer the burning question that everyone has, "Is Realm Wars Still Being Developed?" The answer is YES. We are still working on it very quietly and on the side with a small group of volunteers who are vastly experianced with the Torque Engine. We are currently working towards having a PC and potentially a Macintosh OSX release ready by October and we will try to keep you up to date with what is going on.
