I was getting pretty jaded with the whole 'realistic' FPS genre - Finally something next gen that is stylized and has personality! Oh i'm in love!

I really hope they have more little movie clips for each character type in the game.

@Gwog: It's probably just for the purpose of promoting. However, I really wouldn't mind if Valve made every character this type of movie and released them all with the game. On another note, I'm sure I'm getting TF2. Even if I couldn't care less about Half-life, I'll dish out fifty bucks for this... on Steam

This was absolutely perfect; my kids and I watch it over and over.

But there's something I just don't get... TF2 will be a multiplayer-only game, right? So this whole "characters for the classes" thing; where does that actually come up? It's not like a single player game with a story, so will it just be funny Heavy Weapons Guy or Flamethrower Guy during the loading screens or something? What's the point of hiring voice actors and all that?

@theadept: does it matter which version it was made from? im sure the graphics will be pretty damn equal in both. seeing as how there is no crazy details and its all cartoonish. troll.

TF2 keeps looking more and more amazing (in terms of its style/presentation). I've been hooked on the Incredibles-esque art style since its debut.

This could be my next FPS comeback (after Halo 3, possibly). Fortunately, I only play FPSes online and never cared about single player (at least since the Wolfenstein, DOOM, Duke days). I pretty much stopped playing FPSes after the early college days of Quake until the dawn of the Halo franchise (though I still prefer the original Halo's multiplayer vs. Halo 2's MP gameplay...pistol to the head FTW).

Oh, and yes, his math is correct...

$200 * 10,000 / 5 = $400,000 (12 sec = 1/5 of a minute)

"Cry some more!"

Damn 360 fanboys, this is mainly a PC game: that is its primary platform, hence not a reason to own a 360. The video was almost certainly made in the PC version.

As long as they are working on it... they can take as much time as they need.

Just make sure it comes out this time, unlike the other TFC2 from back in the day.

It was like E3 1999...

I'm more excited about this game than i am Halo 3. Yes, i said that, just now, outloud, in front of god and country.

Here's hoping the characters maintain some of that "character" during gameplay..it'd be great if the heavy weapons guy would just start laughing harder the longer you survived and the more you people you mowed down...

VALVe has done it again. They are the undisputed masters of the genre. They don't care about halo or any other bullshit. They take their time, calculate the next move and strike the gaming population with ONLY extremely polished games. I have yet to see a VALVe game that dissapointed me, or got low score at a review. God-dammed geniouses.

Fantastic. Nice to see the sort of look and sense of humor I loved in Evil Genius is making its way into TF2. It's almost a shame to think of the sort of buffoons who will be playing these exquisitely crafted characters when the game comes out.

@Reddo: Very true. Games have to be seen in motion to be appreciated. I hated the style of Crackdown until I saw it in motion. Unfortunately, I doubt that screenshots will ever go the way of the dinosaur. They'll probably stick around like apes, instead.

This video singlehandedly shows that graphics aren't everything, it's the animation that counts.

I found myself in awe more so at the way his mouth and faced moved, and how his hand cupped and turned the barrels of his gun then anything else shown that's "next-gen."

There's more style and personality in Team Fortress 2 than in 95% of the FPS games out there combined. It's clearly Pixar influenced and I dearly love Valve that much more for it.

I would love to play a single player game with this exact same style. The vaporware that is Duke Nukem Forever would be awesome in this style.

Shiryu — Tue, 15 May 2007 18:37:53 MDT

I was really into Team Fortress Classic, but sadly, STEAM came along and everyone started shifting to CS(wich I hate) and DOD(wich I love), leaving hundreads of empty TFC servers, it was quite sad. There are still people out ther eplaying it, tough, because TF for Quake truly was a revolution of MP Team Based Online gameplay, and it has ever since been copied over and over so many times. TF2 almost became the next "Duke Nukem Forever", so it brought a smile to my face when it was officialy confirmed that would indded be one and packaged with HL Ep2. When I saw the first movie, I also smiled, the character new look captured the insane sort of fun I used to have with my friends on TFC.

Having that said, STEAM has been off my PC for well over an year now... wonder if this will be the reason for it to come back...

This is a shitty resolution. Head to Fileshack.com for a super high res one.

Anyway, I totally agree, the wait is more than impossible with every ounce of information they give out on TF2, HL2: E2 and Portal. I really just cannot contain myself.

Also, has anyone else noticed that every cinematic style video that is released by these folks is pure fucking gold? I have yet to see them do anything wrong. Since Half Life they have just gotten better and better. This game is the only one that really peaks my interest with every little bit of information we get because every so often you get these golden accented, platinum encrusted diamond nuggets, and in between that you get real information, not PR bullshit that's supposed to tide you over.

I salute you Valve! Take as long as you want and then some, because you always have something to show for it.
