Tribes Coming To The Web Browser

Don your jetpack and pick up your suitably sci-fi weapon as the original Tribes is making its way to the web browser.

Browser-based games are all the rage these days, and releasing a game that will work on a high percentage of PC's is crucial to making it in the casual market. We've seen how immensely popular these games can be with Quake Live, so it makes sense that another classic FPS is going to be revived for the masses. InstantAction.com, a web-based games service, will be taking the helm on the revival; bringing enhanced graphics, 'powerful browser-based gaming tools' and better modding options.

The game will be playable at next week's Game Developers Conference, where visitors will also get the chance to learn how InstantAction managed to bring an updated version of the original Tribes to the web browser.

I love how far things have come, meaning that we are now able to play what were pretty impressive games for their time in nothing more than a web browser. Hopefully the queue's to play won't be as massive as Quake Live, but don't count on it.
