>Valve in charge of a tv show

Imagine how long it would fucking take

because SFM and GMOD.
It's not on Valve to do shit. One of their core values regards having other people do the work for them .

It would be gay

delet

Valve agreed to make one for AS quite some time ago.
Needless to say, they couldn't keep up with "one 11~ minute episode every 6 months"
Expiration Date was the end result. A single episode that was finally released about 3 years after it would have originally aired

For fucks sake a 6-part 12-month comic got extended to 7 parts and still hasn't ended over 3 years later
You don't even have to animate or voice act a comic.

The real reason is because most of the voice actors are old and can barely do voices any more. Most of Soldier's new lines are fucking Nolan or something, same for Engi.

At least the comics have been near perfection. Valve should just never give any insight on when they are releasing shit.

Valve's philosophy is literally "worth the wait". They cannot stick to a time schedule to save their lives, but when they do finish something, it's almost perfect. Look at the comics for example. everyone's major complaint is "they take too long to come out". I don't think anyone has a problem with the comics themselves, but they're so well written and have comedy that many people can enjoy. They're not overtly political or dramatic or trying to be quirky. They work well with all elements considered.

A movie would work better.

>released in 3045
>complete masterpiece
>hl3 still not released

>the last TF2 comic literally has a link that you type up to see the trailer at the end of it.

I wish we lived in a world where that's why the comic takes so long.

Valve lacks creativity

tf2 is dead, that's why

Youve been saying that for 10 years.

Soldier's got throat cancer, engine quit voice acting, demo/heavy is 2old and can't do the voices anymore.
That's why you get scout and spy shenanigans

why not just back load the episodes and then release them weekly?
>Valve agreed to make one for AS quite some time ago.
source?

This time it'll finally die. Once Overwatch comes out, TF2 is gonna be dead. Just you watch.

the sad fact is, even the shittest tf2 animation is better than every single overwatch 'short'. probably because the tf2 videos don't have the pretense of being a disney-fied family friendly game experience about killing everyone else on the other team.

Damn. That's depressing.

The throat cancer was reportedly just a rumor, but he certainly couldn't shout in Soldier's voice for whatever reason.
The VAs for Sniper and Medic are doing just fine at least, although I remember the Medic being a pain in the ass to get ahold of for years on end. The VA for Spy is also the VA for Pyro, but it's very apparent that Valve forgot whatever technique they used for Pyro's muffled mumbles, so all of the post-release lines stick out horribly and might as well be a whole different person. Granted, they aren't even words anyway and the Pyro has never been much for conversation, but when they recycle the same one line for the 50th time it feels like a frumpy Comedy Central cartoon.

>backload the episodes
It took them THREE YEARS to finish the Pilot. If you wanted a 6 episode season of TF2 it could take over 15 years.
Nobody is going to put out a contract like that. For all we know AS might not even exist in 10 years.

Sorry I should have specified
they SHOULD have back loaded
now their shit game will die thanks to over watch and valve's thirst to milk their franchises with virtual items

Remember when Pyro was just a maniac and not a "lul, (s)he actually thinks everything is cute XD" person?

That would've made for a good episode, exploring how sadistic they could be.

nope

It seems to flip flop, honestly. I like the idea that the Pyro is aware of their actions, but covers it up with the Pyroland thing.

Shame for Engie. The guy who plays medic though is an actual actor though so he does tons of both speaking and acting rolls.

Valve's philosophy is dog shit. And no, after a certain point the wait becomes detrimental to the end product. Absolutely no one wants Half Life 3 now.

yea lets pretend like TF2 personalities have the same appeal they did in 2007 and are not overplayed in the slightest

quality over quantity

We're lucky the latest comic even got released. Surprised that guy hasn't jumped ship at this point.

I'd read Soldier & Scout Adventures, with Demoman as a recurring character.
The rest I could take or leave, although Medic does great on his own in the comics.

The comics goes against your implications.

Didnt the voice actor for medic say he was against doing any dialogue for the pyro update do to mlp/brony pandering

the comic is fucking terrible fanfic-tier shit and an indication of your low standards

remember years ago when people thought valve was teaming up with adult swim to create a TF2 show?
turned out to just be that partnership thing with robot chicken.

I don't get why people think the unicorn is mlp-related. sometimes a unicorn is just a unicorn.

it was just the timing of it. if the revival of MLP was never a thing, nobody would be batting an eye of the unicorn.
they would just see it as some lolsorandumXD joke

I remember reading rumors about a TV show in production featuring LOLGAMERS being sucked into the TF2 universe from our world. Thank god that never amounted to anything.

but around the same time of that update Gabe newll was doing some random online interview and admitted to being a brony
I like the update and was still playing TF2 around the time but that shit is just too coincidental

I don't know why you people can't grasp the concept, he sees everything as cute babies, bright colors and rainbows because he enjoys it so much, he lost contact with reality.

He is not your typical furfag or horsefucker, there was no other way to portray his love for killing, they didn't want to add voice lines because that would break the character, and he had always had this wierd duality. Again, stop thinking he is like Not Wanda or CWC.

>admitted to being a brony
He said that his kids watched it and he knew what it was by proxy.

You're right I'm remembering it wrong but still its fucking weird u gotta admit

meet the pyro should have just been a slow zoom in on the silhouette of a girls body behind a shower screen, but then it pulls the curtain away to reveal a fat hairy dude wearing the pyro mask

Please never work for Valve

There's a lot of inconsistencies with that though.
>doesn't try to burn his own teammates
>can apparently understand enough to mobilize with the rest of the team, call for the Medic when injured, etc
>brutally murdered the bear out of rage after imagining it dissing fire for no reason

I do. I ain't even overhyped, Episode 1 was my least favorite and if they even managed around that level of quality I'd be quite pleased with the end result.

Shitposting is against the rules. I know your taste isn't really that bad user, so quit shitting the place up by pretending it is.

The last comic took what, a year and a half to come out?
Half Life 3 would come out before a second episode came out.

No it's not. Kids are the target audience for the show. It's like saying another parent it fucking weird for knowing what Spongebob is because their kids watch it all the time.

It'll be too late at this point. Don't imagine TF2 has much more going for it after the last comic gets out.

...

One of Heavy's voice lines with a different hat equipped is literally "Friendship is stupid magic." There's definitely a connection.

Try talking to a bum, or someone actually crazy, they know who their "friends" are, they know they have to avoid cars, to respect people that don't mess with them, they just see things differently.

Not that guy, but speaking as someone who has only stuck around in this shitty fandom long after the point where the game stopped being good because of the comic and the lore, I was very disappointed with the new issue. I thought it took the wackiness way too far past into cringe territory.

Which is really the problem with the writing as a whole now. I'm not saying that TF2 was always a super sophisticated, subtle series with humor to match, but they were never this out and out LOLRANDUM and nonsensical. The last issue read like something Anthony Burch would have written.

>assassin shit gets made
>kingsglaive gets made
>flat lara croft tomb raider gets made
>no TF2 movie to breath life into the game

I'd even settle for a 30 minute one.

I actually haven't read the new one yet, I'm just basing it on the overall quality that has been displayed up to this point. I really doubt the new one is bad enough to make calling the whole thing fanfic-tier a reasonable position.

I don't seeing Anthony Burch writing something like Scout's "death" and reveal of his father or Medic implanting the souls of the eight other classes into his body.

Most of the classes (Except Soldier really) is still in line with their personalities in the previous issues.

and it would get canceled by episode 2

No, there will be two seasons each with 2 arcs which have 2 episodes each.

The writing is mostly fine. The only LOLRANDOM characters are Soldier and partly Pauling, and she's literally just Anthony Burch's sister so no shocker there.

All the VAs are past due

Which is why blizzard is capitalizing on their young to middle age VAs and making a cartoon or some shit of DyingWatch

I dont mean him watching it with his kids I mean just the coincidence that the pyro update happened just when MLP was getting big is weird

So the non-evil version of Bethesda, then.

the TF2 team has 16 members

theres a reason why stuff doesn't get done quickly

do you know what the word "maniac" means?

it means someone who is so crazy they are insanely irrational and cannot comprehend reality.

Spy says it himself in the trailer, "what dreams of Chronic can Sustain Cruelty?" essentially, what kind of fucked up rationalization is he using to be so brutal?

They confirmed there's a new 4-5 minute short being made for the new update youtube.com/watch?v=fmo2JUbpf_Y

so it will be like the venture bros?

>DyingWatch

Trying to cope with TF2 dying and not getting any real support from Valve because they want to cash in on CSGO monies?

no one wants a half life 3 now, but once they announce it everyone will go ape shit

Yeah, but they promote it pretty well. The saxxy Awards are pretty great, even last year's saxxies had some awesome entries and shit I didn't even know was possible in the program.

EOTL is the closest thing we'll get to a TF2 movie, but it's nice to know McVee and team didn't do it completely for free

16 members and only 4 are programmers.

youtube.com/watch?v=0P8Ubkn_a6Y

test

What do the other 16 do?

...

Shit, what do the other 12 do

I heard this tf2 killer, Brink, is gonna kill it. Or was it Loadout? Can't remember.

>Meet the Pyro came out 5 years ago
>Meet the Medic came out 6 years ago
>Meet the Spy came out 8 years ago

Sound design
Art
Mapping
Writing
Playtesting
Aaand that one girl makes TF comics

This ---> The unicorn and rainbow shit is just a way to show how they get a kick outta burning people. It was either that or playing Linkin Park and showing Pyro being edgy.

That and now the MLP crowd will buy all of those shitty cutesy cosmetics

>tfw spamming the Meet the Medic taunt in semi-deep pools of water you can stand in
>tfw it would make a loud obnoxious noise with the pigeons flying out of the water
>tfw can still go in any server and spam this without anybody realizing the earrape is being done by me
Good times man

>Play TF2 for 7+ years
>Still have just as much fun as I did back then

>Play Overwatch for about a week when it launched
>Get bored and never play again

>All the maps they started in Beta got dumped literal years ago
>They don't have to worry about modeling, animating, or texturing game files thanks to the community and the magic button workshop the old, competent team made, so "Art" is just the update pages they make twice a year
>We have only 4 people capable of actually making a functional weapon in-game, even with all the easy buttons
Playtesting at Valve is hopefully not up to the employees. It always seemed like Valve called in a short bus when they needed play testers, and the implication that those chromosome collectors are now employees worries me.
And the intern that was making maps like Cactus Canyon and Ass_Destroyed was obviously moved to another dev team in Valve. Why waste potential like that on TF2?
You've got me on writing, though. Those blog posts can't make themselves.

I tried Overwatch during the free weekend last year and I got bored of it within an hour.
Doesn't help that it runs like shit on toasters.

>play on community-made map
>go over to sign where the creator's info and shit is
>spray gay porn or some dumb shit on it
>it's the first thing people see when they join the server

There will never be a game comfier then TF2. Sucks they'll probably end up abandoning it in the next few years while you fuckers spend thousands on fucking virtual knives in CS:GO and playing Generic MOBA #2.

Holy shit, Cactus Canyon and Asteroid still aren't out of beta. I didn't even realize.
