I remember playing Tribes: Vengeance years ago. It was a damn fun game; I can't wait to hear more on this one!
OH LORD.
Pleasedon'tletitbeasbadasvengeancepleasedon'tletitbeasbadasvengeancePLEAAASSSEEdon'tletitbeasbadasvengeance.
EDIT: Okay, there's two things I've picked up from this very brief very small trailer:
1) Diamond Sword is in the game, which is my favorite faction and therefor immediately gets a +1 in my scorebook.
2) They're playing rock paper scissors, wtf?
Really, I guess all they have to show off with the game is a couple character models, not a lot, I'm certainly glad that a new Tribes game is FINALLY being made, but at this point nothing can be said about the quality of said game.
Here's to hoping that they don't focus on singleplayer at the expense of multiplayer and that they don't abandon the project almost immediately after its release (Oh and that the thing can be moddable without a damn degree in programming, UGH)
DOUBLE EDIT: Okay, after watching the video a billion times I've seen an easter egg or two:
1) At around 24 seconds in you'll be shown a piece of body armor with the words "SHAZBOT" slightly carved into it.
2) At around 30 seconds what appears to be Tribes 2 is reflected upon the armor, not much to say here.
3) The trailer at the website: http://www.tribesascend.com/ more prominantly displays the Diamond Sword both on the page and in the trailer.
I must say, it's the little things that win my heart.

I wasn't very impressed till it said "Our flag is secure".
That sort of good natured piss taking tells me they understand what tribes is about. Crazy multiplayer combat. And CTF.

I have to say, the line at the end made me laugh.
I hope it's as good as the first, I still play that from time to time.

Read on other webbsites it will be coming XBLA too, dude.
If so I'm really hoping forward it will be equal to Tribes 2. I'm on macs nowdays so I would be intrested in buying it to xbox live just to try out. Although Tribes is probably one of the few FPS I would prefer playing with mouse and keyboard due to the skills needed to take out people flying around at long distances.

I am certain it won't be as good as the first. It will be slightly dumbed down play like #2 - but you know what. I will take it.
YES!
Starsiege Tribes was the best FPS ever made. Every other FPS is child's play compared to it.

The first tribes is one of my favorite games. I will probably get this because it has the tribes name on it. I just hope the developers do justice to the license.
Finally. I hope it's a good game. It has to represent the series well to all the youngsters who never played it.
Iiiinteresting. Never played Tribes, but I've only heard good things about it.
Little predictions: People who loved the first one will hate this one immediately.
Another vocal group will denounce it as being a generic shooter.
Some morons will claim that they stole the jetpack from reach. You know it's gonna happen >.>

Most importantly, it means they won't focus on single player, if they have it at all. Which is a good sign in a game like this. It's all about multiplayer.TsunamiWombat said:
Particularly, I got spoiled by the mods, so the simple fact that there won't be a huge guy with quadruple chainguns that can barely move is already disheartening.
