[QUOTE=brandonsh;30654652]Actually it's 5AM.[/QUOTE] True that :o First google result said it was eight :/
They'll probably release it sometime in the afternoon rather the morning.

You don't get to leave until 3 in the night? Dayum, that's some strict school.

I hope its not in the night at 3:00 AM again 10:00 AM would be better.

I've been watching all the other shorts to get my memory jogging. Why has it been two years since they made a remake of Meet the Heavy and no one told me? I just watched that last night.
[QUOTE=Zeos;30657762]I've been watching all the other shorts to get my memory jogging. Why has it been two years since they made a remake of Meet the Heavy and no one told me? I just watched that last night.[/QUOTE] What? They never remade Meet the Heavy.
Would anyone be angry if it turned out to be meet the pyro instead and the whole medic thing was just a red herring? I wouldn't, i'd like that actually. I love it when Valve does stuff like that.

It's been redone, that's the updated heavy model (With the old patch). A higher frame rate, clearer, the newer light wraps and better animations. They still kept the muzzle flash. It is a different video, it is [I]newer[/I] than the original.

Plus, why the [i]fuck[/i] are you watching on EA's shitty site? The quality is SO bad. Here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHgZh4GV9G0[/media]

It is a different video, it is [I]newer[/I] than the original.[/QUOTE] It's definitely different, but if anything it's older. The lighting is less dramatic, the frame-rate hasn't been lowered to highlight SFM's motion blur, the animations don't look particularly better, and I don't see the difference in the Heavy's model. In any case, it looks worse to me than the other, mainly because of the lighting. EDIT: yeah, the animation in the normal version is better, particularly the Heavy's mouth.
Look at the Heavy's ears. Compare the YouTube version to the EA.com version. [B]Edit:[/B] Look at the eyes and skin tone. [B]Edit:[/B] Gif style, how I like it. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xMgdj.gif[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Hardpoint Nomad;30658547]The animation looks a lot smoother to me.[/QUOTE] That's framerate, though, not the animations themselves. EDIT: Now that you've pointed out the Heavy's ears, you're right, the EA version is a newer model. Still prefer the original, though.
[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;30658586]The hospital in the medic's page is much different to the [url=http://www.team-fortress2.com/images/hospital.jpg]Original[/url], it seems to be a map so there's a high chance it will take place there...[/QUOTE] It could be the same building from another point of view
[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/897064/ValveHevy.png[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/897064/EAHevy.png[/img] Oh alright, you're not wrong. Bottom is EA.
[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4608952/boolet.png[/img] comparison ahoy [editline]23rd June 2011[/editline] also I don't think it's better animation, looks like it's at 30fps instead of 24 is all
EA's looks much better. [editline]23rd June 2011[/editline] It's always bugged me that the heavy looks like he just got a tan in the youtube one. The EA one looks a lot more like the actual heavy.
It's quite obvious the EA one was rendered with a newer version of SFM that supports self-shading
And the higher framerates on EA's site are so nice. [editline]23rd June 2011[/editline] Oops, automerge broken.
I agree, too bad they fucked up the sound with the low quality. While they were at it, they should also fix his class icon and the miniguns firing effect.
[QUOTE=Benvil;30659170]I agree, too bad they fucked up the sound with the low quality. While they were at it, they should also fix his class icon and the miniguns firing effect.[/QUOTE] Click HQ. It increases the sound (and video) quality a ton.
[QUOTE=Baboo00;30659196]Click HQ. It increases the sound (and video) quality a ton.[/QUOTE] Still not quite as HQ as the real version, but that's not something hard to fix, so it's still a nice improvement.
[QUOTE=Benvil;30659734]Still not quite as HQ as the real version, but that's not something hard to fix, so it's still a nice improvement.[/QUOTE] I like their high framerate, but they might like to reupload the video. With better quality.
Did anybody notice this? [img]http://i.imgur.com/MyCG0.png[/img] Sorry if it's late.
