Team Fortress:Source

wakka · 10-30-2009, 12:38 PM

I'm interested to see what people think.

KubeDawg · 10-30-2009, 03:32 PM

Would've been a good idea when it was first being made, but yeah, waaay too late for that, plus this game has a lot of differences than just calling it a Source version of TFC.

Dr.Satan · 10-30-2009, 04:06 PM

there is more to this game than being just a source version of TFC...not sure how you even came to that conclusion TBH

MonoXideAtWork · 10-30-2009, 06:26 PM

Branding issues. Not a good idea.

Everything · 10-30-2009, 06:43 PM

No.

Fortress Forever always did sound cool.

Well I don't think that'd necessarily be an issue, providing we get permission from Valve first. the TF brand has already expanded past the Source phase with TF2. I doubt they'll ever be interested in making a source version of TFC.

Quake Team Fortress

I play TF since 1998.

What I mean is, all the web and promotional materials would have to be rebranded, and all press releases thus far would be less effective.

New domain, new logo, new load screens, new maps? Can't have maps with FF signs if the game's name doesn't start with F* F*.

xks · 10-31-2009, 03:32 AM

It's too late now.

FF isn't a bad name anyway, just TF:Source is a little bit clearer.

"Team Fortress" and "Source" are both registered trademarks of Valve. They would not allow it.

This.
The well-known highly anticipated mod, formerly known as Black Mesa: Source had to rename to just Black Mesa, because Valve would not let them use the "Source" name, since it is a registered trademark.
