Team Fortress 2 Teasers

I talked about Team Fortress before on this blog and thought the character development was really intriguing...but now - they talk! The animation is heightened to a quick paced-cartoony level ( and ya'll know I love that stuff) and the timing on the dialog just perfect. It made me laugh, it made me cry (well not quite) but just watch these little shorts...screw Double Swords or whatever its called. ~Thanks to John Forster

You had me at "Who touched Sasha..."



Use more gun...what an engineer!



Ohh they're gonna hav'ta glue you back together...



Get outta my way Maggot!

And for those geeks out there...

The next generation of facial animation technology for Source will be released in Team Fortress 2. By leveraging the rapid pace of advancement in PC graphics, videogames can now match and actually surpass the facial animation used in feature film and broadcast television production. We've released a video of this real-time, in-game, in-engine facial animation in action in support of ATI's launch of the Radeon HD 2000 series. By running entirely on the GPU of the videocard, the facial animation not only looks dramatically better, but frees up the CPU to perform other tasks like physics or AI.

This technology is available to all Source engine licenses as well as MODs based on those games.
