Seems the folks over at Vivendi Universal Games have decided to release the now infamous Tribes and Tribes 2 for FREE. That's right folks, you heard it, they're GIVING AWAY 2 of possibly the most revolutionary games of their time. Coming on May 4th, 2004 on both Fileplanet and on the special edition DVD ROM included in the June release of Computer Gaming World, you'll be able to get both of these fantastic games, in all their glory, for free. Here's a quote from the press release:

Released in 1998, Starsiege: Tribes was the first major online-only first-person action game. The combination of team-based gameplay, expansive outdoor terrains, multiple play modes, customizable characters, and controllable vehicles created a game that was an instant hit among fans and press alike. Its sequel, Tribes 2, was released in 2001 and further refined the genre, winning numerous industry awards. Together, both games have sold nearly a million copies worldwide.
Coming in the fourth-quarter, Tribes: Vengeance is the next installment in the Tribes franchise. 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 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. |
The hopes of course with this release are to re-spark peoples interest in the Tribes Universe, and I must say I think it's going to work. People love free stuff, especially when you're talking about shooting a high-speed spinning disc at someone while flying thru the air! For more juicy details on this rather bold move, check out the full official press release. |
