Major Update Speculation: V8: Rise of the Machines! - Games

I wonder if they could release MvM as a stand alone download title for the Xbox. Throw in a number of commonly used MvM weapons for all the classes (Like the Buff Banner, Bison, Jarate, Mad Milk, etc) and make it its own game. No Mannup mode or anything, all weapons are given by default (since it won't be all the ones we're used to). Various hats as DLC.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37443876]That September 2nd date is probably nothing (plus Valve would be pre-occupied with TI2), and unless they do a 2nd Manniversary update, not really.[/QUOTE] I completely forgot about that September 2nd date, I was just saying in general they seem to be doing one update per month.

Also, together with the re-release of TF2 on 360, they could update all the current Meet the Videos that are availiable for download and release the rest of the Meet the Videos. I want to watch Meet the Pyro on my TV god damnit! Also, MvM could be free DLC.

A ghostly Redmond and Blutarch would be so amazing, battling the Machines in the snow-covered Alamo.

Anyone know if we're going to get anymore adultswim promos? I'd god damn love something aqua teens or superjail.

[QUOTE=mphayes97;37445356]microsoft? who? what? damn school[/QUOTE] Har har. You have school? I don't have school until tomor- :suicide:

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37445238]Doubtful.[/QUOTE] We're getting more stuff from adultswim for sure though. It's just a matter of time.

[QUOTE=01271;37445403]We're getting more stuff from adultswim for sure though. It's just a matter of time.[/QUOTE] Probably won't be an item though.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37445419]Probably won't be an item though.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't that be crazy if they added a weapon? So crazy. Good crazy.

I don't have school until tomor- :suicide:[/QUOTE] Pfft, at least your school's familiar to you, and probably not too far away; in mid-September i'm gonna be doing train journeys from Carshalton all the way to the Docklands of East London to get to university. It's a longer journey than the trips to Ewell East back in my college days, I can tell you that much, though thankfully I have a Freedom Pass which means the travels won't hit the wallet too hard.

NECA has announced that the Pyro plush and the Scout plush will be released in September.

A Venture Bros item probably wouldn't be too farfetched when the new season airs.

valve should instead of reskins of the holiday weapons do *STYLES*[SUB][SUP][SUP]sparkle sparkle[/SUP][/SUP][/SUB].

I want this added to the game [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=4253&searchtext=[/url]

I imagine it's because Heavy's fist items all have team colored elements, and that might blend in too much with his chest armor. It would look a lot like the Apoco-Fists are a distance, and maybe even closer at a glance.

[QUOTE=k2.;37446058]i want this added to the game [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=90095838[/url] i don't get why that isn't a style yet.[/QUOTE] Probably an identifiability issue. Weapon styles have never greatly influenced the default appearance of the weapon. The Persuader styles just add a couple of greebles to it, but you can still tell what it is. The mittens styles completely change the color of the glove, potentially making them confusing to identify.

yea, they're a big item size wise, with a big change in appearence with the style. Unlike an extra spike/arrow, some blood on a cleaver or a black knife versus team colored, that is tiny and not easily seen anyway. The weapon styles we have now are cool, but I don't think that one would be the best.

What about Team-coloured Charge n' Targe as a style?

I've seen the Apoco-fists from time to time, and they're distinct enough to be noted as their own weapon thanks to their brown color and the little gold and silver bits (also it just looks like a big blog of brown with bits of gold so w/e), but I wouldn't doubt people would have some mild issues identifying what the Heavy was using if the gloves were black, simply because they'd blend in so much with his torso and it'd look like that one persistent handless bug he's got.
