Team Fortress 2 amuses us

PS3 News | Team Fortress 2

Sept 12 2007 Why is it that so many games fail spectacularly to make us laugh? 'Cos they lack witty talent, skilled writing and expert direction, probably - vital virtues that Valve has in spades, illustrated especially well during its recent mirthsome vids for Team Fortress 2, repeated again to good effect in this Engineer introduction. Once more, we have a solid, rounded and appealing character. And a tightly scripted monologue paired with a perfectly chosen voice actor. This softly-spoken ...

New Team Fortress 2 trailer ramps up the laughs

PS3 News | Team Fortress 2

Aug 24, 2007 We've got another snippet of footage from Valve's much anticipated Team Fortress 2 that introduces us to our second troop class - The Soldier. Take a gander, and what's immediately apparent that Team Fortress not only has the playful aesthetic of CGI animation, it also shares a similar off-kilter brand of humour. Were not going to ruin it for you, suffice to say it is actually rather smart and wouldn't be too far out of place on an episode of Futurama. It's also a nice little ...

Team Fortress 2 screens tease new trailer

PS3 News | Team Fortress 2

Aug 20, 2007 This week Valve plans to release a new trailer focusing on Team Fotress 2's rocket launcher-wielding class the Soldier. Presumably we'll get similar trailers for all of the game's classes before TF2 releases. Check out the three screenshots we've uploaded by clicking the Images tab. They provide a sneak glimpse of the forthcoming Soldier movie, although as you'll see two of the screenshots are pretty blurred - a bit of a shame ...

PC-Xbox 360 play for TF2 "technically done"

PS3 News | Team Fortress 2

Valve Software says cross-platform support is in place for Xbox 360-PC play for Team Fortress 2, after revealing it was technically feasible back in March. "Technically it's done," the developer's Doug Lombardi told IGN of Xbox 360-PC play; Valve's Robin Walker then followed up to reassure that controller issues won't be, well, issues, explaining that staffers who worked on the Half-Life series on Xbox are working on TF2 on Xbox 360. "... we did the Xbox port of Half-Life internally, and we ...

New Team Fortress 2 details

PS3 - Team Fortress 2 - New Team Fortress 2 details

A trickle of tantalizing new information on Valve's almost decade-long delayed Team Fortress 2 has been revealed in German gaming magazine PC Action.

A translation over at the Halflife2.net forums provides a summary of article, which includes details on TF2's new gameplay modes, maps, weapons, and classes - not to mention somewhat down to earth comments on the competiton's class structures by Valve's Robin Walker himself.

Of noteworthy mention however was the possibility of cross platform multiplayer between the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of TF2.

In short, while technically feasible, Valve is still uncertain whether it will make it into the final game - possibly even being up to the likes of Microsoft and Sony to get the wheels in motion for it to happen in the first place.
