RenWerX To Create Complete Game!

RenWerX has announced they will not be working with the Legends team to produce a game (reasons) instead, they will be producing a complete game themselves. RenWerX does plan to make both a Base game and their Renegades mod for it, but needs everyone's help:

We want both Base and Renegades to be formed by the Tribes community, and to do so have put together a custom living design plan for both. If you are interested in making sure the next tribes-like game or Ren mod plays like you want it to, please see our design introduction page.

In addition we plan to keep the Renegades name for our Mod, however need a name for the Base/ the game overall. We have put together a voting / suggestion process on our forums in this thread, and would appreciate anyone interested in contributing doing so.

We still plan to release this game for free, but also we will now be able to release all of our scripts, models, maps etc. for other mods to use too. With our divergence from legends we plan to work with many mods to make sure anything they would like to see in the game engine is in there so they can bring their mods to new levels. If you are interested in more information for modders please see our modding page.

Finally, our team is rounding out nicely, we are at 46 people right now with some amazing talent. We do still have jobs open however, so please see our job listing page if you think you can help. As always for those who want to make a monetary donation we have a donations page and that page also explains how we use donations.

Yeah this looks to be stupid. I can't see any reason to do this unless the legends team is trying to charge for their game, or they are exploring distro through VUG. Arcanox said there weren't any creative differences, so I think this is a dumb idea.

probly cause the weapons in Legends suck the models suck the adminstration sucks oh wait ill sum it up by saying Legends SUCKS, I would say that if RenWerx stays with their own game it will be good.

Beggins have you really played legends? It is a good game aside from the graphics, which btw RENWERX was supposed to be redoing for them, the GAMEPLAY is a nice balance between t1 and t2.

I personally don't trust Renwerx to make a good base game because first and foremost they are a renegades developement team. I if most you didn't know never played ren in t1 or t2, aside from just jumping in a server and realizing that I didn't care for the gameplay. So them deciding the fate of a tribes successor doesn't seem right to me. Who knows though they might pull it off.

Back on topic though they apparently quit working with the legends team because of a lack of control. They wanted more access to code than the legends team would give them so they split. I personally don't care who makes the game as long as its good.

meh, my issue with RENWERX is more the fact that they are starting from scratch. It took legends 2 years to bring it to the level that it is at now, and no matter how many extra programmers RENWERX claims to have, it is going to take them a LONG time to make the torque engine into t1 again, AND make sure it is stable.

To me, its more a matter of re-inventing the wheel. I dont think renwerx is going to be able to make any changes that are going to make their game VASTLY supirior to legends. they will have their differences, no doubt.

I would say RENWERX will have something LIKE legends has right now, a year from now. So whats the point really? It doesnt make sense to me

I dont think there will be in issue with them being renegades players. they are making both. they are simply copying what t1 base had, so i doubt their renegades background will effect it too much

[edit] lol and after re-reading beggin's post, i have come to the conclusion that if he things legends sucks so much, he will be highly dissapointed in the renwerx project since it will be pretty much the same thing

some of the weapons are just plain weird and the game is good. i must admit but I judge all Tribes wannabe games to tribes i can be harsh on games and im being harsh on legends but i dont really look forward to renwerx either they probably wanted to do something that legends didnt wanna do or they did it for some bs reason as to be the team that is hailed to make the best non tribes tribes game ever... lol Legends just doesnt have very creative player models the weapon models are kind kool. The game still has no vehicles :( The only major difference i have seen is that RenWerx is practically asking the community to give them the ideas that has its perks unlike legends.

Okay some vehicles had been coded awhile ago, right after the .41 release. They were gonna release them but then vengeance was announced and the project was put on hold. The weapons have a exact duplicate in tribes 1/2. There is a grenade launcher, sniper rifle, disc launcher, mortar launcher, blaster, and chain gun. I think that is it. These weapon behave almost exactly like their tribes counterpart. And finally:

ALL OF THE ART IN THE GAME IS SUPPOSED TO BE REDONE.

As for renwerks asking the community for ideas, that isn't good because one group of people wants t1 with better graphics, another wants the same for t2 base, another for t2 classic, and the rest want BF2. They should just make their own game and let the chips fall where they may. The tribes community cannot settle on what kind of gameplay they want.
