Really good interview. This time in english!

mistermojo · 03-28-2007, 02:31 AM

no concjumping
making it incredibly newbie friendly

gg

also lol "The clans really don’t play Scout at all"

puppychow · 03-28-2007, 02:33 AM

so apparently if you're a soldier now you fear the scout - heh. interetsting.

**mervaka** · 03-28-2007, 02:33 AM

they HAVE pulled grenades out?

Circuitous · 03-28-2007, 02:33 AM

Interesting.

The double-jump is more versatile than the conc? Do wha?

yes, looks like all of them

also lol "Walker: The Scout’s double jump is more versatile than the conc and we’re really happy with it. We wanted the Scouts combat to be about dodging."

GhOsT · 03-28-2007, 02:46 AM

Obviously they have not pulled them all out since they clearly show the mirv in the preview video.

mistermojo · 03-28-2007, 02:47 AM

they said all classes except demo man

schtoofa · 03-28-2007, 02:49 AM

Good interview! Can't wait to try it out.

**mervaka** · 03-28-2007, 02:50 AM

well, i'm not closing the door as yet. i'll see what other peopel think before i splash out. i'm not interested in EP2 or portal, so id be buying specifically for TF2

trepid_jon · 03-28-2007, 02:56 AM

It's apparently a 2 part ordeal, with that being the second part.

First part...

GhOsT · 03-28-2007, 03:12 AM

And from the end of the second article (the one I posted) it looks like there will be another one tomorrow talking about their hands-on gameplay testing.

Digital_Ghost · 03-28-2007, 03:15 AM

Also about 3 engineers together wasn't that good. That's BS. With a lot of the quotes, a couple already pointed in a couple of the previous responses, really makes you wonder who the hell they played the game with and for making the game don't know much about it. They obviously never played TFC with the community who kept the game alive, barely since they abandoned it in a rain gutter on the side of the street. They seem way to focused to catering towards the console gamers and other beginners rather then the long term players who have played the game since day 1 and those who still kept playing it. I have no problem with the newer look of the game, but in terms of game play i can't say I'm overly impressed thus far.

Nothing wrong with some new ideas and a Lil change with balance and new innovative stuff, but to change things up so drastically....may be a bit to much.
especially if the solider is now pussified and you need to bring in a HW to kill a scout...that just sounds wrong...

Johnny Mullet · 03-28-2007, 03:15 AM

This will be interesting.

i took it more to mean that mabe tf2 owns so much it makes tfc look bad "by comparison".

man, i hope its that good.

Yeah, I guess he does go on to say that in the following sentences...

But to say that it is unplayable and terrible seems a little extreme (like he doesn't/didn't like the game in the first place)

Digital_Ghost · 03-28-2007, 03:25 AM

The way the article came off, it sounded like it removed the whole "learning curve" for skills that's i always loved about TFC, rather then just picking a class and being able to easily play it with ease. Smells like CS to me.... Dunno about the rest of you, but for me personally i enjoy the strong challenge in having to learn those skills rather then picking a class, and nothing to try and perfect at it..and being all noob friendly.....

I've played a number of online FPS over the years, and still TFC is the only one that's keeps me interested for that reason. I"ll bet you any money that if Robin or Charlie are the kinda peep you see in any pup or match style game that whine about getting killed and say everyone hacks :P lol.

You can tell he keeps up on things at least. (no)

Lost · 03-28-2007, 03:57 AM

Its definitely going to be pushing in a different direction than TFC and FF. It has earned a title appropriate of a sequel for me.
