Video: Team Fortress 2's amazing animation
The Team Fortress 2 aesthetic has been compared to The Incredibles more than once, and it really shows up in this video, with amazing animation and some decent shtick. This video, to put it simply, is gorgeous. We wish there was more to say about it, but honestly, that's pretty much it. The facial animation is damned near perfect, and the character has real personality. Rather than spoil anything else, we suggest you go ahead and watch it. You'll be glad you did.
The Half-Life 2 Orange Box is starting to look better all the time, isn't it?

Can we really judge the game on this video? If it's prerendered or in engine but using extra animations and expressions than will be available during gameplay. Although if that really is ingame then yeah that will be one really good game.

It's in-engine, designed to show off the advaced facial animation capabilities.
Looks sweet.

Makes you feel good about the time you spent playing TFC, but doesn't make my expectations for the game any higher. It's not a halo killer, jimhuf. It's just a fun game to play with some friends, just like TFC was. Except TFC was free. This is 70-80 dollars? If I have 80 bucks lying around and my buddies do too then it's something we'd pick up. But it's not even close to Halo.

It would be a shame if the game doesn't make use of the facial animation capablities, 'cause that was awesome! I love how he got all thoughtful there in the middle. And totally crazed at the end!

I'll pay $60 for a full retail game of this based on the cell shading and quality of the animation alone this is some of the best adaption of the source engine to date, IMO better then HL2, single player campagin with coop give me say 25+ hours and then expanded and improved the current multi-player (add on to whatever is shipping with HL2:orange) you got yourself
Team Fortress 3: Unleashed
you got the game Shadowrun wishes it could be.
If only MS got in bed with Value and this was their Cross platform Live anywhere game, instead of Halo 2 and Shadowrun this would sell Waaaaaaay better, better then shadowrun for sure.
MS you listening last time i heard value already had the netcode waiting.....
just pay for it is worth it.

Yeah, that has to be overemphasized. Half-Life 2, Episode 1, Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress.
Personally, I think it's good package and worth the money.

I find it funny that this post links to the TeamFortress2 tag, but isn't actually filed under that link -- therefore, people coming back to the site later won't be able to easily find this post through the TeamFortress2 tag. :) Might want to fix that.

lol @ 1
This game isn't in the same ballpark as Halo, isn't in the same league, heck it isn't even the same SPORT as halo. Looks fun, but calling it a Halo beater is laughable.
