Team Fortress 2 art

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

  • (this is just a test, please ignore this entry)

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

Ahh.. what a difference eight or so years of hibernation makes [;)] Yes, I remember when all the hype on Team Fortress 2 was buzzing around back in 1998, with the glowing news reports, magazine covers, and even awards it received. It was a pretty damn good looking game back then too, but after an extraordinary long period of silence, it kinda disappeared from all relevance when games like BF2 and Quake Wars took over the class/team play mantle, and pushed the idea further.

Valve really have pulled off something special to put the spotlight back on TF2, with the new stylistic art direction that I'm sure many developers are taking note. It also really opens up a tonne of possibilities going this route compared to the well trodden war theme. My only hope is they do something extraordinary with the gameplay as well, since well... things have certainly moved on from the traditional TFC gameplay.

geez. I dunno about anyone else.. but how much is that like TimeSplitters? (Ie in styling).

Wow, that was definately a surprise I did not expect TF2 to see the light of day any time soon... Does this mean Duke Nukem Forever will ship with HL2:Episode Three??

I like the style of that TF2 image, very cool.. Hope the gameplay is good!

yeh the gameplay will be definately over-dramatic and comical.
interesting... [8D]

Looks kinda neat but does still have to face the facts that unless they up the gameplay as well then its STILL behind in structure to games like BF2 and quake wars (well an assumption so with QW), just nicer looking then before. Im glad theyve killed that oversaturation of orange though (or was that team colours, barely played TF1 and a long time ago?) and yeah it does look kinda timesplitters esque (a stylistic direction i really admire actually) but with a bit of pixar thrown in which is the comment im hearing a lot. Certainly not a bad thing considering the positive press that image gets.

Yeh, TFC classes gameplay is pretty rudimentary. It really is bare-bones when compared to the what Tribes, Enemy Territory / Quake Wars, and the Battlefields have done. Hopefully they've implemented a lot of new ideas in there rather than making a port of the old TFC with extra shiny graphics.

The screenshot didnt do much to excite me but that trailer did. Looks like it could be a heap of fun.

the trailer is also up at gametrailers.com. the valve one didnt work for me (or its a stream, in which case, pfft)

Interesting. Cross between Serious Sam and TFC. Hmm, not sure, but we'll wait and see how this saga pans out.

well i think its a wonderful looking game. i just pray people will play it. the current TFC online population is AU is very small. i just did a server refresh now (5.30pm) and theres 26 people playing. and its not really viable to join overseas servers. im on '24mbit' internet and im getting 250 pings in the US
