“Is a capture-the-flag-loving wizard going to be angry when he finds me?”
Playing Tribes: Ascend, an abandoned multiplayer-only FPS, feels like being somewhere you’re not supposed to be. Did someone forget to turn the game off? Or did I stumble into a pocket dimension? Is a capture-the-flag-loving wizard going to be very angry when he finds me here?
The uncanniness of playing today is funny given that it would feel completely normal to launch and jump into a server (or the original , for that matter). The difference is that released in 2012, which is just recent enough to make it an oddity. These days, online games that aren’t hits get demolished and paved over before they even finish ‘beta testing’. There’s no secret way to play , the cancelled Amazon-made hero shooter. In October, you will no longer be able to play , which was only in beta for a few months before the decision was made to start planning the controlled demolition. If they don’t make money, games just go away now.
