Team Fortress 2 Trailer
- Thread starter Titanio
- Start date
Looks great, love the art and the cartoon style yet it pays homage to the general class based theme and grittiness, but it would be nice to see how it looks from the gameplay perspective. If this is Source then they have done a great job with it, the quasi cell shading look and the self shadowing look nice

Nice? It looks NICE?
It looks exactly like damn Pixar movie. How much money did it cost to make Toy Story II?
If the game actually looked anything like that, and had game play similar to TFC, it would win GOY hands down.
I haven't seen anything else claiming to be a game that looks anything CLOSE to what was in that trailer.

The Animation is freakken beautiful! Love the style! (however the fire-'pyro' does seem a bit out of place in contrast to the other fx)
Overall when one compares these efforts to what was demonstrated last gen with Zelda Windwaker on the cube it seems possible we will see a very close proximity to this video in the final version on next gen boxes.

Hrrrmph. I don't recall Windwaker coming close to what was demonstrated in this trailer. Could be a difference in art direction. I'm not a fan of cartoonish games, but this trailer simply blew me away.
If Valve has really been actually doing this? I'd be... just shocked. When the character models were released earlier, I thought they looked like cool target models to show the style of the direction they were taking the game and I was all for it.
But to actually see them in action, especially this soon after releasing the "banner", you have to wonder what else Valve has finished and how far along they are on this game.
There's been conflicting reports as to whether or not this game would be included with EP2. If this is what they've managed to accomplish, I simply can't believe it would be free.

Agreed they are distant but from what was demonstrated in Windwaker on a system as limited as cube was vs what was shown in this trailer and the potential in NG systems, I expect the end result to be very close to what was shown, or at least it seems possible from what I can see.:smile:
low geometry
depth of field - done
motion blur - done
lighting might get downgraded a smidge along with the shadows but nothing too significant.
The biggest question mark to me is the animation. Hopefully they keep it at this level in the final version for all characters and perhaps even add some subtle fx to the environment as well. Other questionmark is 4xaa (360) as it adds quite a bit to the look and there shouldn't be a reason it's not included but I'm not holding my breath until I see it.

That stuck out to me as well as Source had poor shadowing in some areas (e.g. shadows of dynamic objects pass through static geometry and cast onto floors). But then again it has been 2 years since HL2 shipped and 3 years since their target release date. Since they have gone a new art direction with low poly maybe the lighting system got overhauled?
I dunno, but I really hope so as the shadowing really looks great
The art style reminds me of the Incredibles and IF this is what the game will look like in regards to rendering technology I must say I love the art/tech combo.Laa-Yosh said:
Exactly. Not that I hate those (nor like)... but this is a great "break the trend" look, and even better is that it is a classic game that revolutionized Team based FPS. Hopefully they can do it again! After seeing HL2 and now Portal I have to think Valve has some gameplay twists up their sleeves. Just the number of classes is impressive and should allow people a lot of flexibility in choosing a class that fits them.
Lets hope they ship it "when it is done".
