Tribes: Ascend is “too difficult” for Consoles

Speaking on Reddit, Erez, Hi-Rez’s co-founder, spoke about a potential port for Tribes: Ascend to consoles which never happened. Despite several publishers showing interest in the prospect of having Tribes on a home console, they all thought the game was “too niche and difficult” for consoles and some major gameplay alterations would have to be made in order to appeal to a mainstream audience. Such alterations would have to include a slower game pace, reworked or completely removed “skiing”, basically remove everything that separates Tribes from your average sci-fi shooter.
