Major Update Speculation Thread V3: Tonight's the Night, forever and always - Games

Well anyway all this talk is now encouraging me to keep on working on my idea. If any of you have a good grasp of UDK and can work on on-the-fly particle recombination, pm. me.

Why do people think making a sequel is wasting all time and resources put into the previous game The whole point of a sequel ismaking the legacy of the previous game go on, either because the game was meant to be this way, or because the players wanted it. In the case of TF2/TF3, it'll be the later. There's no way making a sequel will be a waste of the previous game. Making a game is like making a movie: it's meant to be used to your pleasure, not to last for a certain period of time. And if you can put reference to the previous game(s), then why not, players like it. It's like saying Sonic Generations was a waste of Sonic & Knuckles because they remade Sky Sanctuary

So. Did you guys hear how there was a spike in radiation readings from around Indiana last night? HL3 ARG? Apocalypse? Friday?

Its a small niche that it nested itself in. Nonetheless it's up to valve what they want to do. IF IT WERE ME, granted if i had the resources and man power, i'd make TF3 or maybe just call it TF. But mainly thats just a name, i'd want more interaction from the environments and more inter-class cooperation aside from spy checking and medic healing and the such.

Ronin, you're the oldest here so stop this fighting.

[QUOTE=Constructor;36248299]Ronin, you're the oldest here so stop this fighting.[/QUOTE] It's rather interesting talk though.

I don't get the weta hate. It's not like they have any choice in the stats of the weapons they make. The weapons themselves fit the style of the game. They look exactly like something someone in the 50s or 60s would imagine future technology to look like.

[QUOTE=Cowabanga;36248379]Here's the thing: TF2 doesn't need any future technology imaginary weaponry.[/QUOTE] What does it need then? More jars of piss? How can you be upset with the weta stuff when you have shit like gimmicky holiday weapons and all the cross game promo items. Why isn't anyone getting their panties in a bunch over that shit?

[QUOTE=Constructor;36248299]Ronin, you're the oldest here so stop this fighting.[/QUOTE] I stopped fighting about 2 weeks ago.

[QUOTE=Cowabanga;36248379]Here's the thing: TF2 doesn't need any future technology imaginary weaponry.[/QUOTE] It does need new weapons, though.

[QUOTE=Cowabanga;36248379]Here's the thing: TF2 doesn't need any future technology imaginary weaponry.[/QUOTE] yeah sure invisibility watch , teleporters , sentry guns , dispensers and mediguns are tottally not future technological imaginary weaponry

if TF3 is ever made, they should set it in space opera-y 1980 and only age the classes a little so like scout has facial hair and engi is taller or something and they just port TF2's pyro model and change nothing

We need more invisibility watches it's literally been years

Why isn't anyone getting their panties in a bunch over that shit?[/QUOTE] I do actually agree with this. I much more have a problem with all the wacky promo items and holiday related stuff than with the Weta items. Just look at the scout's melee weapons. A sword, wrapping paper, a candy cane, a war fan, a severed arm and the fucking Sun-on-a-Stick. These all look very out of place and rather ridiculous if you ask me. I think the Grordbort weapons are the least of our concerns.

Let's not forget the death lasers and nukes in many maps.

I love the Holiday Punch and the Spycicle makes me feel like some kind of serial killer ("Another ice statue... my God... he's in the base..."). And while some of the promos are shitty (Rift items for instance), there are some that are the bee's knees (Sam & Max, the maority of the Shogun items, etc.)

[QUOTE=alexdom;36248505]yeah sure invisibility watch , teleporters , sentry guns , dispensers and mediguns are tottally not future technological imaginary weaponry[/QUOTE] At least they're staying faithful to TF2's artstyle, unlike WETA's stuff. Oh and they're not completely overmade.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36248513]We need more invisibility watches it's literally been years[/QUOTE] I had an idea for that Phantome watch. Make it so that, while you're cloaked, you can walk through enemies (in exchange for some recharge time or something). A simple change, yet one that really mixes up gameplay.

[QUOTE=Cowabanga;36248544]At least they're staying faithful to TF2's artstyle, unlike WETA's stuff. Oh and they're not completely overmade.[/QUOTE] its been said hundred times weta rayguns fit tf2 perfectly

[QUOTE=thecuntsman;36247245]Here are some fun facts I think you all might appreciate: 1. TF3 will never exist. That is all.[/QUOTE] Team Fortress 2: Episode 1

I'm in the camp that believes if Valve adds it to the game, it fits the style automatically.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36248605]I'm in the camp that believes if Valve adds it to the game, it fits the style automatically.[/QUOTE] i agree. It's they're game after all. I always thought that some of the community thinking that TF2 is a community's game just cuz valve lets the community participate is false.

So much for all the optimism and rainbows; bring on the moping and doomsday scenarios. Here's a rainbow of blood and a headless mann to help acclimate the thread to its new focus. [IMG]http://artfile.wpadc.org/artist/690/images/18049.jpg[/IMG]

This thread is getting so extremely off topic... EDIT: Maybe its best we close the thread before we start talking about penises or some other shit.

[QUOTE=MacD11;36248738]This thread is getting so extremely off topic...[/QUOTE] Just reminds me of how others are also starting to give up on hope for an interesting major update/Meet the Pyro. I hate it [IMG]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-smith.gif[/IMG]

Maybe we could keep Team fortress 2, But give it a major upgrade engine wise. It'll be the exact same Team Fortress 2. But more up to date. More Stable, Better graphics, More detailed hats, etc etc. Get what i mean?
