Bad news for all the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 users, as there are no plans for Tribes: Ascend on consoles, according to the developer.
Todd Harris, Hi-Rez boss, explored the possibility of putting the F2P game on consoles, but the game's business model prevented it from doing so.
According to Harris:
"We do not have any plans for Tribes on console at this time. The way it went is that we wanted to do the free-to-play model, and there wasn't a clear path to that on consoles early on. Based on that, we optimized the game around the strengths of the PC, and specifically a keyboard and mouse control."
"Once we decided it'd only be on the PC, we optimized around speed, a quick turn radius, and PC game controls. We're still interested in free-to-play on consoles, but at this point, we have nothing specific to Tribes on console."
Tribes: Ascend was launched last month and the servers are "very, very active" with over 800.000 registered accounts.
Harris added: "It's really our belief that for an online multiplayer game, particularly, free-to-play is the best model for gamers and for studios."
