Major Update Speculation V15: Apocalypse Now! (In a few weeks) - Games

[QUOTE=psyke;39962003]And if you look even closer you can only see one shadow :)[/QUOTE] An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include: >Broke Shadows! >Added Oculus Rift Support! >Fixed Nothing! >New Promos for Triple A games less than 12 hours away from release! [QUOTE=psyke;39962115]Why not just use a different model then rather than a stupid giant moai head why not something for his back like this [/QUOTE] I don't disagree but it just seems to be something Valve would do. Could be to uphold the "Easter" Theme.

[QUOTE=psyke;39962115]Why not just use a different model then rather than a stupid giant moai head why not something for his back like this [img]http://puu.sh/2k65Q[/img][/QUOTE] Maybe they wanted something heavy because it's a shield weapon, but instead of charging to go forward, you alt-fire to become completely still/unmovable and regain health or something. It's clearly the supernatural forces of Easter Island granting him health or something.

I really hope that they aren't really adding that head or a third misc slot. I mean out of all of the top rated misc items and hats, they choose that? That picture of the demo is just disgusting to me, but that is just, you know, my opinion man.

Maybe the Easter Island Head is really just an Easter egg added into the video?

How would the Virtual Reality affect the FoV? I... think It would have to be about the same as your eyes to make a "realistic" or at least immersive experience.

Oh no! The thread will end!

Incoming new thread smell?

I fucking REALLY REALLY hope the oculus rift hat is untradable. Just for the trader tears.

[QUOTE=PimpinDemopan;39962360]Incoming new thread smell?[/QUOTE] we have like 3 pages.

My cousin ordered one of the dev kits through kickstarter, but he lives too far from me...hope he gets bored of it so I can borrow it so I can learn to play TF2 all over again...but who would get bored of having an oculus rift?! Then again, I'll be gunning for the consumer version as I heard it has a possibility of more features added. I hope they release it this month. Once thing Valve could add though for Oculus Rift users, the ability to look at your feet moving like Left 4 Dead.

I think that the guy looking at the screens was just added and he was just using the mouse.... So it might just be them trying to make you think you are in TF2 by putting screens everywhere...

The independant look/aim has the possibility of being abused... somehow.

So what did I miss?

[QUOTE=HerSilverHammer;39962113]Riddle me stupid, but I think the v sticky looks a lot better than the c sticky. And Valve has needed to update/redesign the Kritzkrieg for a long time. This is good incentive. Objective opinion king.[/QUOTE] I really wish the Kritz got an overhaul, it has approximately fuck-all readability

I'm predicting some sort of themed update. Perhaps it's got to do with the Easter Island head, a supernatural theme based around those kind of things like "alien" superstitions. Call me Rainbows but I've got a feeling we might get our hands on some alien tech to combat these new otherworldly threats, some Aether Oscillators manufactured by a certain Doctor perhaps? I mean it makes sense since the Grordborts were expected to arrive on Christmas that we would see them after in the closest major update right? Granted that was, and this is all speculation. But I've got a weird "Otherworldly" feeling I could be right! [editline]18th March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Ceiling Man;39962698]So what did I miss?[/QUOTE] Easter Island Head item on Demo. 3-4 misc slots. Oculus Rift Promo and support. Rainbows. [QUOTE=Zeos;39962802]I really wish the Kritz got an overhaul, it has approximately fuck-all readability[/QUOTE] At least there's Crit Glow when it's too late. OH WAIT NEVERMIND!

TF2 Beta Update Inbound...

[QUOTE=DevinWatson;39962951]TF2 Beta Update Inbound...[/QUOTE] What's in this one?

Beta update: [quote=Valve]* Fix clients allowing content from VPK's when connected to pure servers[/quote]

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;39962978]Beta update:[/QUOTE] Does this mean that Sv_pure is fixed now? or is there still more to do?

Massively wild speculation: The Easter Island head is a new minigame, similar to the duel tokens. Spend a Easter Island token to spawn an Easter Island head somewhere in the map. Whoever holds it the longest during a match levels up their Giant Island Head badge. Slows whoever is holding it down. Kill them to take it from them. Strange Easter Island Head badge tracks wins, times or time carried, and assists of team mates who are carrying it. Seems pretty ill-fitting for a third misc and I doubt it is a demo-razorback, so who knows. Could be almost anything.

Oh let's hope we've got a new "Hatless Update" this year. The HU was actually pretty good I thought, especially since they added spy bot support and fixed bugs and stuff. Maybe if they did another it'd be like with new weapons? And with steampipe? Maybe I'm going far too rainbows.

Maybe instead of spawning on the map, though, it spawns on the player who spent the token.

[QUOTE=Fine Hats;39963295]I really like that minigame idea. Maybe instead of spawning on the map, though, it spawns on the player who spent the token.[/QUOTE] Then you could just sit in spawn.

[QUOTE=Revolver Osha;39963320]Then you could just sit in spawn.[/QUOTE] I am imagining it would spawn somewhere on the map, like the halloween present boxes do, and fall off of you if you run into spawn like the intel does. I'd play that minigame.

[QUOTE=Revolver Osha;39963320]Then you could just sit in spawn.[/QUOTE] Then make it so the token can't be spent in spawn, and if you enter spawn, the item (Moai head?) goes to someone else randomly. Like being tagged "It" by the Horseless Headless Horsemann. Heck, call the game "Battle Tag" or something.
