Speaking as someone who has played it, it does not play like Tribes. Tribes and UT play completely differently, btw.
Ok, your point. I put up a article with an interview of one of the producer's of the game who states their
inspiration for the
mobility and jetpacks(Like Tribes:Vengence, Tribes Ascend). Has power weapons to take down titans like the Rocket/grenade launcher. Can fire while hovering in mid air from a big jump like Unreal. You are saying the person in the interview who works for Respawn, doesn't know more than you?
I understand the mechanics of the game are different but if you were as old as I am and played games like Quake Arena, Unreal, Tribes you would understand the influence. Even the Mobility of the Titans is from Tribes with the side boosting you can do to avoid enemy fire.
That's what I was saying, I didn't say the game had skiing like Tribes, I said the mobility and range of weapons for certain enemies and maps are all influenced from those games.
Just like the Producer stated.
I'll take his word, the Gamer Syde downloaded gameplay videos, and the Giant collection of games I'v collected for the past 25 years over a word from some random guy on a forum.
