[Gargantou]

Wow thanks!
Awsome video, I really do like the art style..!
Edit: First reply w00t!xD

[Cole]

Must see right now

[Tamer17]

Though there wasn't real gameplay footage , it looks awesome. Love the style.

[Loke]

O_o

[nutcrackr]

lol posts are being deleted over at the steam forums

Video was kinda meh, 1960s cartoon feel.

[The Hulk]

Not a demo of gameplay, but you got to see them move - it kicked ass!

[clarky003]

Personally I loved it, it's got an evil genius / incredibles feel to it lol.

[Jimmeh]

I was a bit iffy about the cartoony style to begin with, but it's definitely grown on me. Personally, I think the Pyro looks the best. :D

[nutcrackr]

I hope that flame work on the pyro is in game it looks pretty damn hot (pun intended)

[Loach]

Has anyone else noticed what map they're on.....it's 2FORT!!

[Thread]

Excellent! Downloading now.

[blck_prod]

WOOOT WOOOT....

No miniature soldiers...but that doesn't kill the fun...(Maybe if the mooding goes well I'll make a miniature-soldiers map)

But It look so cool...and new...The characters are great...Animations are superb. Humor is defenitly getting attention lately in Valve HQ.

SuperB A must see....
This is why Valve will remain the best game-develloper in many years to come.
They keep trying new things...

Congratulations to Valve for another amazing concept...I have no doubt TF2 will be worth the wait...

[nutcrackr]

guess you are right about the 2fort bit, certainly the bridge and the two entrances + snipers nest give it away. The scout and spy parts weren't obvous to start with but they definitely resemeble the bottom area near the flag

[DigiQ8]

Downloads !!!!


edit : slow as hell ! 1.0KB !
someone upload it to yousendit pleaseeeee !

[Thread]

Pretty awesome. The lightning's great. The spy looks kind of like Zidane :P The pyro's flame is awesome; I hope that same effect is in-game.

[RoyaleWithCheese]

I like the style. Never played/saw Team Fortress but I will check this one out. Lol at the medic rubber gloves scene:D

[PvtRyan]

Great teaser, thought we would get Episode 2 footage today tho.

Looking superb, love the Medic's rubber gloves :D

I still wonder if the motion blur/DoF is actually possible in game or if it's just a post process effect.

And LOL @ the Soldier's introduction.

[wlodi]

Oh, crap! Thanks clarky!

It's AWESOME! Important question: is it real-time Source engine?!

[DigiQ8]

come on !
someone upload it to yousendit, i cant wait its killing me :(

[Zeus]

Thanks.

slow? I'm going at 650 kb/s!!!

So is the gameplay video coming out later?

[xombine]

omj teh sechs!!!1111

[lonestar]

that's the one they announced to be released this week? or just a teaser?

[xombine]

Also lol @ the Medic putting the glove on. :laugh:

but hearing the music just amplifies the "The Incrediblesness" of the game.

[c4Menace]

im downloading portal vid too :)

[Tamer17]

That's the one.

[Zeus]

whoa. I posted this on steampowered and the admins deleted it in SECONDS!

[Asuka]

I Swear To My Holy ****ing Jesus If Thats Ingame> Vavle Just Stole My Soul>>>!!!

Holy Shit!

Wow!

Give Me ****ing Now!


KJAHSDLKUAerhopA3J580RqurOP{AJediopApsdK ERERERRERRERRER AHHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAJ>>>!!

[Atomic_Piggy]

Downloading...rofl its slow...about to watch...sweet. As mentioned, it looks odd, but has grown on me. Coupled with the new Portal trailer, I'm really looking forward to Epi Two. Glad VALVe haven't forgotten TF2.

[Solaris]

That looks awesome.....

[CptStern]

that looks great ...good to see valve finally show some sense of humour

[sensai]

Someone put it on YouTube yet?

[Forceflow]

I'd be totally impressed if this was in-game footage. Now I'm just, impressed.

And if the map is 2fort, what on earth is that engineer standing on ?

[Asus]

I loved that video. Very incredibles lol
Need...more...media! :E

[Darkside55]

Pretty impressive. The way the spy slinks around, it's so fluid. I can't believe this is the Source engine. Valve's done an impressive thing here. I am significantly more accepting (and one might even say hyped up) of this now. The shading, the animation, the pyro's flames, and the chance that the soldier might come with a shovel for melee...this might turn out awesome.

[hool10]

I love it! This totally blows away any Disney Pixar movie lol! I uploaded the video and should appear shortly on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eO0viG8L5s *Its officially up now on youtube!

But this wasn't in-game footage...a lot of this stuff is probably in the game, but I wouldn't take this video as what we are going to see 100% come time to play the game.

[PvtRyan]

It's definitely rendered by the engine. It's not gameplay footage however.

[Darkside55]

It's the Source engine though. That was confirmed when someone asked if the promo picture was taken in-game or if it was a render. It's the engine, and even if it's not exactly what we see, it's mighty impressive anyway. It's Source's capability that I'm awed by.

[PvtRyan]

Notice how models now selfshadow :)

[lonestar]

Also lol @ the Medic putting the glove on. :laugh:


he's ready to give you an enema! :o

this game seems to be having a big chunk of pixar influence. it's already fun just to watch the introduction of the characters, cause it has this flair of a good animated flick. this game leads us into another era of computer gaming, where it's not about worlds of war to save human mankind, and sqauds of demons straight from hell, it brings back the silly attidude of funny, unrealistic, and colorful games which have no scale to go by (that is, also within the game!). maybe tf2 turns out as your harmless comic book you read as a kid wrapped up into a virtual playground.

if only a game like team fortress 2 had the power to nail responsible "experts" of media and communication who don't see us as gamers, but people who join the dark side of life - that this example strengthens the argument to play videogames, more precisely shooters. and fps aren't any virus for our society, they offer interactive, emotional involvement - they're actually as comical as team fortress 2. the only difference is the fact that tf2 represents it optically (most likely beyond that), whereas other shooters stand for the same picture, opponents of the "new media" just have to get the whole picture. :( well... let's hope it actually will be this kind of "batman series back in the '60s" fps. eventually! :D

[Ennui]

By the way, folks, this has not been newsposted yet because Valve has not officially released it, and we'd prefer to not post it until they do.

[dekstar]

Sechs in High Definition Form.

EDIT: Ennui Honey, you could always post it and be like "omfgwtfbbq Halflife2.net EXCLUSIVE!" and get lots of publicity.

[Tyguy]

looks ok...not sure how im going to like the GFX

[-Psy-]

Holy Shit. Must. Buy. TF2!

[eraser]

Amazing. ****ing amazing.

[DigiQ8]

sechs !!!1

[Pauly]

nicely done, although it didnt show gameplay :(

[Fat Tony!]

I had my doubts, but now im actually quite happy with it :D. It will take a bit of getting used to of course, being a big tfc player but yeah.

heh btw there is no way thats 2fort :P and I doubt the spy would really be so sneaky D:

[Korgoth]

So who thinks ep2 isn't going to be 20$ likes ep1? Full priced game, 50$ ( but hell, for all three: ep2, tf2, and portal... I'd gladly pay it)

[torso boy]

I've studied the video a bit, the outside part is definately 2fort. (Where each class is introduced, not where the engineer is standing on the Tanks)

[Iced_Eagle]

So who thinks ep2 isn't going to be 20$ likes ep1? Full priced game, 50$ ( but hell, for all three: ep2, tf2, and portal... I'd gladly pay it)

I don't care what it is, I'm buying it! ;)

I really can't wait for TF2 and Portal... I'm anticipating them more than Ep2 cause it's something new! :D

[Shakermaker]

Awesome vid! I lolled at least once.


So who thinks ep2 isn't going to be 20$ likes ep1? Full priced game, 50$ ( but hell, for all three: ep2, tf2, and portal... I'd gladly pay it)

Was thinking the same the same thing.

[BrimStone04]

its 11:50 and the trailer isnt on steam yet!!!!!! i though it was suppose to be up at 11?

[Iced_Eagle]

its 11:50 and the trailer isnt on steam yet!!!!!! i though it was suppose to be up at 11?

It's out on FileShack and all other places... Give it time if you want to watch it on Steam :)

BTW, to compare old TF2 to new TF2, watch this old trailer :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXf7NBudV6w&search=team%20fortress%202

[BrimStone04]

yeah i have the trailer now, but i am wierd and want to have it on steam only, so ......yea im wierd

[Forceflow]

I've studied the video a bit, the outside part is definately 2fort. (Where each class is introduced, not where the engineer is standing on the Tanks)

I think he's standing on flagrun.

That thing with the 2 on it, and the small window on the top, looks like the tower where they kept the middle flags in flagrun.

That, or the new version of well, although the main entrance (with the stairs) looks a bit small.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/Forceflow/bscap0002.jpg

[GOoch]

I havent been on the forums for months, but this has just got me gripped again. GOD DAM this is looks fantastic, totaly wasnt expexting this style of GFX looking forward to this one on my 360.
:devil:

[Ren.182]

This looks SO damn awesome. I wasn't expecting it to look anything like this at all and the change is a great thing in my opinion, suits the game very well.
I also didn't expect it to be out so soon either, i was expecting it to be out a year later after the announcement. Go VALVe! :D

Also... is that motion blur i see? Reckon thats just something they put in to make the movie look better or might it be in-game? :O

[mortiz]

I think it quite possibly could be used in-game since Portal has some gameplay footage that shows Motion Blur. I also think Episode 2 is using DOF and Motion Blur.

[Betelgeuze]

For some reason Im starting to think this is 100% ingame and player char got a random animation when they are not moving for some time.

[DESSTROYER]

its 3:15 and its still not on steam :|

[Asus]

its 3:15 and its still not on steam :|

Yeah, I'm wondering whats going on. Although I already have the video. ;)

[Ren.182]

Yeah, i noticed the motion blur in Porthole too. Be awesome if it is implemented, and we know VALVe would do it right.

DOF would be awesome too :D

[Forceflow]

Ep1 already had motion blur.

[PvtRyan]

Ep1 already had motion blur.

News to me. An option?

Flagrun? hmm i doubt it. The middle flag area was enclosed.

[BrimStone04]

For some reason Im starting to think this is 100% ingame and player char got a random animation when they are not moving for some time.
that would be awesome, like instead of a person just standing there slighly moving cuz of the whole "breathing" motion, they could do something like the engineer slamming his wrench in his hand, but that would mean the player owuld have to have the wrench selected....unless theres an idle motion for each player.....time will tell.

btw trailer is up on steam

[armanguy]

heres a walk down memory lane:

That wouldn't be very good for the stealthy spy :P

[MultiVaC]

The graphics are great and all and I'm sure the gameplay will be fun but I really didn't like the trailer. It looks to me like they're trying too hard be funny. Pixar movies like The Incredibles and stuff are great because they had funny dialogue and situations, not just because of thier animation style. I doubt TF2 will be funny. The situation will probably be a bunch of guys running around shooting each other and the dialogue will include morons saying "lol gtfo fag nub!11!!" like you can expect you can expect in any online game, or anywhere else on the internet for that matter. If this was a single player game it would work out great; knowing Valve there would be funny lines, memorable characters, crazy setpieces etc. But with an MP game I just feel it's lame, unless things like the soldier's giant hands are enough to make you laugh.

[jimmyjam]

hey for the record: http://www.poe-news.com/forums/sp.php?pi=1001262848

[armanguy]

somthin intresting i read about the engineer:

Some things were added afterwards (as quoted earlier) because the means to have them in-engine isn't completed yet, however they are being worked on. Things like self-shadowing (notice the soldier when he hits himself?) are going into Ep2 - Source engine has been improving with each episode, which is nice. What you see here is most likely what it will actually look like, to within a reasonable degree, however it's likely to be November before we see a release of it, so things could still change yet.

A couple of more things for those interested:



And garry from garry's mod has apparently said (I haven't had a chance to ask him directly yet as I'm at work) that the engineer is based on garry's mod, you don't just bam and a sentry appears, you have to make it from things you find in the spawn.

The quote is just that, the bit "from garry" is as yet unconfirmed.

[Tyguy]

I really dont even have a choice as to buy it or not....obviously I will because im a sucker for anything HL2 related......bahh *Hands valve checkbook*

[Forceflow]

News to me. An option?

Remember when

***Spoiler***

Alyx crossed that bridge, and makes it just in time ?

***/Spoiler***

I thought that was a clear example of motion blur. It could have been a regular dx9 shader, though.

*edit: can't seem to find anything about it on the net, so I'm probably wrong.

[Rossell]

Here's a question.


Will the console versions of HL2 and Ep1 be implementing these graphical techniques?

If they are, I simply hope we'll be seeing them.

[wlodi]

I thought that was a clear example of motion blur. It could have been a regular dx9 shader, though.
Of course, it's a regular shader, it's not motion blur. It's the same effect they used in Citadel Core..

Will the console versions of HL2 and Ep1 be implementing these graphical techniques?
That's a good question. Since Valve states these effects are next-gen Source, I'm pretty sure they'll use these effects to make console versions more beautiful.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

The link is down!

[armanguy]

go to file planet and download it! im troo lazy to provide a link just search for it.

[Vegeta897]

The flamethrower sound at the end of the video is the same sound used in Blood, a 1997 game. Oh the memories.
