Why waste time recording different sounds, when you can just "recycle" them for newer games? And plus, they are saving the enviorement from not wasting more power to get into a recording studio again. Together we can make a difference guys. /sarcasm
Work smart, not... Hart? It actually doesn't sound quite as clever when written
[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;23738619]There are loads of things VALVe do lazy. like now, with polycount stuff[/QUOTE] How are they being lazy with "Polycount stuff" when the update's not even out yet?
[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;23738619]There are loads of things VALVe do lazy. like now, with polycount stuff[/QUOTE] they're not releasing the update now because of marketing reasons it'll hit the servers once TF2 will have hit an all-time low playerbase, so everyone suddenly comes back at it and Valve can say "see our game is successful" You know, Valve could've released all the updates in one big pack if they wanted but marketing-wise it's much more viable to do a small update every now and then
[QUOTE=mysteryman;23732497]valve tends to get lazy on certain things, but i don't really mind.They only get lazy on visual things like models, but nothing gamebreaking.[/QUOTE] Bleeding.

Team Fortress 2 was in development for nine years and I absolutely love how it turned out. But oh wait, Valve is just being lazy. They should've released it when it was "TF2: Brothers in Arms" aka "Generic Military Shooter No. 324" on GoldSrc, right? Considering they're also doing all this work on free updates to a three-year-old game, I consider these updates more of a gift to the community if anything.
[QUOTE=AkujiTheSniper;23738092]Portal was made before Left 4 Dead.[/QUOTE] Wait, I thought he meant HL2 zombies, my mistake. Just throw boxes at me already.
IIRC the Anger Sphere was done by quickly throwing in the audition tape for the L4D zombies, since the GlaDOS actress wasn't particularly that great at, well, at Anger Sphere sounds.
Valve reused the voice actress for GLaDOS from the Team Fortress 2 announcer. They are so lazy, they should just hire a different person. :v:
[QUOTE=Teh_Medic;23739637]Valve reused the voice actress for GLaDOS from the Team Fortress 2 announcer. They are so lazy, they should just hire a different person. :v:[/QUOTE] She also did the overwatch voice in HL2. It doesnt make them lazy.
My brother plays with an absurdly high weapon FOV and it's so annoying because the scouts arms just float right out there. I know they didn't want to waste resources on something most people wouldn't see, but the could've at least made the rest of the arms a lot lower polygon count.

[QUOTE=LolzMan1325;23740392]The engineer's pistol doesn't even have a clip anymore o_O[/QUOTE] Wher've you been? The viewmodel was replaced with the world model and its anims.
[QUOTE=AkujiTheSniper;23738092]Portal was made before Left 4 Dead.[/QUOTE] Left 4 Dead was in development before Portal. Not by much though.
[QUOTE]I posted this on SPUF but all the little kids on there just started raging at me :/[/QUOTE] So you wanted to get raged at by older people instead?
[QUOTE=latin_geek;23744373]So you wanted to get raged at by older people instead?[/QUOTE] No, i wanted a discussion, and thats what i got.
