Valve: Team Fortress 2 Is Great for Testing New Ideas

again, that's not a good example either. It was quickly patched up so you could have vehilces in HL, it doesn't reflect what could actually be done if they were to optimize physics for a real vehicle-oriented game.Pielikey said:
Team Fortress 2 is also a great way to test your excuses about how Xbox Live makes updating games teh hardz. =( It must also be a way to test how many people will forget about the Left 4 Dead franchise and how much support that got on consoles, so it can't be that hard though. So basically TF2 is great for testing how much bullshit Gabe Newell can shovel at us.
Also it seems good to test how much time they can spend releasing hats while people wait for Half-Life 2 Episode 3. I mean for crying out loud, god damn Duke Nukem Forever is going to come out next year. That leaves you on the bubble for the next big game development joke, Valve. Is that what you want?
Yeah, here's an idea you can test Valve, get Gabe Newell to shut the hell up about big surprises and how "Xbawks is hard" and have him do some fucking work for once.

Good for you. You can quote all the big red text you want but it doesn't change that Gabe Newell is full of it. I don't even own Team Fortress 2 on Xbox and don't care if it gets updated or not. He just set off my bullshit detector with his statements and I'm not going to sit there and not call it out because his company makes awesome games.Jack Mcslay said:
Clearly Vale is learning how to best placate us when they eventually take over the world. The answer involves silly hats.
I like how Valve is using TF2 as a continuous process towards perfection but some ideas were clearly better then others. The Sandman for instance took quiet a bit of work since it started out as a bad idea and it is still a thorn in many sides.

Just Cause 2 WITH HATS!!!! uncharted 2 WITH HATS!!!! Killzone 3 WITH HATS!!!! Gears of War WITH HATS!!!! Halo Reach WITH HATS!!!! and best of all Grand Turismo 5 WITH HATS!!!!TimeLord said:
lol hats.
also your a little late timelord we've been holding em off all night!
I think what Valve can really congratulate themselves on is the anti-piracy thing they've got going on. They've got a lot of things going for them.
I like TF2. I like the whole crazy cartoon thing they've got going and I like those hat things (even with my abysmal collection - but in my defense, I don't play a lot of hours on it).
If I had one niggling thing though; is probably not to announce/predict a sequel for a game that they will put off because of more prospering (or fun, to the devs, at least) projects. That way, we won't have to hear HL2 episode 3 ever again.
To be completely honest, I'm really looking forward to what they'll put out next. As people have mentioned, a new genre might be interesting. Or, since Valve likes meddling in the sandbox that is TF2, other game modes. A MMO mode? A puzzle mode? ENDLESS!
