Don’t bother.
It’ll probably be free to play for the last month before The Final Shape. Grab it, get the atrocious campaign over with, and burn through the seasonal content before the month is over.

Yes it is.
The last Tribes game before this was Ascend, released over a decade ago.
Polygon targets, textured sizes, shader technology and much else has evolved dramatically since then.
You may reuse old assets as placeholders during development (but this can be problematic for the same reasons why temp music in filmmaking is problematic), but you absolutely do not have assets already made. Assets change over the course of development, often right up until release.
I can’t speak to whether or not these assets are from Ascend or earlier, nor can I speak to the actual visual production quality of this studio, but seeing shoddy looking visuals from a pre-alpha title is normal.

In case you didn’t read the article:
“It’s important to note that the game is still very early in development, and these screenshots don’t show the latest state of the game, but it does give us a general idea of the style they are going for.”
These are pre-alpha visuals. It’s not uncommon for games at this stage to look even worse than this.
