Love the music. I may try it out just because of my love for Soldat.

@Fadakar:

It does have online multiplayer, unless thats all simulated :\ , but I am pretty sure that was online - the bit of lag I had and all lol...

But it is fun :) Reminds me VERY much of TF2, online, movement, music, graphics, etc. They did a great job in that dept.

OrionnoirO

That music kicked ASS

oblivian92

Wow, you guys are off the ball. You already posted this news story a couple weeks back! At least know your own publication...

Cosmic_Bard

@LuciaWinecor: This isn't RockPaperShotgun, it's also not 2 weeks ago.

You also might wanna see a doctor about that cough,you a smoker?

DragonNinja

I sent this in a long time ago.

Clarke

Wow...this is of so much win, I love it. Haven't played TF2 in awhile. Need to pick it back up

NeoXY

GAH! My EYES! zees goggles do nu-zing!

Nah, I liked the lo-fi music.

robinhood_0

*cough*RockPaperShotun, 2 weeks ago*cough*

LuciaWinecor

Reminds me of Liero Xtreme.

Ra is on Seinfeld

If this had online multiplayer this could potentially be the best game ever.

Fadakar

I thought this was posted here a couple weeks ago...

NeonLight

I liked Soundless mountain II more. Epic win!

Auroron

No it is not fun. sure idea will make you lol but it is just a watered down soldat

CHEEZCOLA

Just plain awesome.

MrMister

That was different. I wonder if you can do all ye' standard Spy stuff too, and I wonder how turrets and dispensers work in that as well.

Salen

Looks like twice as much fun as the real version....

Great audio adaptation.

outofreach

I have seen this before, just not here...

idrawrobots

Ooh - standard-issue Game Maker particle effects = 1/2 fail.

Puns and renaming = -1/2 fail.

omicron1

Sorry, the music was the only think I enjoyed about that clip. Nice effort though.

LittleBigPlaneteer

@Ra is on Seinfeld:

Oh man, I forgot about Liero. That game was freaking great.

JesusPuncherX

@DreamDivision: It's not? Seriously? Shit, here I thought I've been enjoying it for the last year.

Đipic

@EloraHRanma: Mmmhh... I mistook Liero with its evolution: Soldat.

EloraHRanma

@Ra is on Seinfeld: Except that Liero kicked ass, compared to that. It was crazy, huge and I used to die so fast that Gang Garrison looks like Lemmings.
Great times!
Time to look if it is still playable somewhere!

EloraHRanma

Makes me wish TF2 was still fun.

DreamDivision

I'm just annoyed that while they've linked to several individual TIGSource demake entries they've yet to actually link to the competition site itself, which includes a torrent of ALL entries. Highlighting demakes of uber popular games like TF2 and Portal is nice and all, but I'd really like to see the hard work of all of entrants put out before the public.

Campster

@omicron1: Haha.. I felt rather nerdy being able to notice from the low-resolution video that they were Game Maker 6/7 particle effects :(

Passa

ridicules this shit is!

number_77

@Đipic: Ah, the magic of opinion.

DreamDivision

AWESOME! but only what 3 or 4 classes in total?

ScubaSteveDE

i like it alot.

seems like a whole lot of fun

Mr.Sad

@number_77: "ridicules this shit is!"

Wait... *pulls out Yoda-English translator*

Hmm... "Possible results:
this ridicules is shit! [no]
shit is this ridicules! [no]
is this shit ridicules! [no]
this shit is ridicules! [no]
No possible results. Suggestions: Eat up Martha"

No suggestions?! Are you kidding me? No answers science has!

Erwin

I've been playing this for awhile, it's great.

But Soundless Mountain II takes the cake.

Hi Owen, If you want to get Windows running on your mac on the cheap I suggest downloading the free VirtualBox for Intel Macs ([www.virtualbox.org]) and getting a copy of WinXP from somewhere online (I bet you can find it cheap now that Vistas been out for awhile.) It's a VERY easy setup and the result is WindowsXP (or Vista if you choose) running inside a window inside OSX. You need decent hardware to prevent it from being to slow but it works very well. I use it at work everyday when I need to move away from graphic design projects and deal more with web development.

lestat730

I'm betting next week, we're going to get a MGS4 8 bit.

akumaserge

@Musika13: Edit - *Now. I swear to god I typed that right the first time...

Musika13

@akumaserge: Hell, I'd play that. Some one make that. Nwo.

Musika13

Wow, this looks... really stupid. I appreciate the spirit, I suppose, but the finished product has no reason to exist.

Moonshadow101

Wow, got to say, this game is all kinds of wicked! Simple, fun online game. reminds me of Soldat, only less flashy, but with the coolness of TF2

Scazza

@Đipic: Since the latest "updates", it hasn't been. They keep "improving" the game, which keeps making it more un-fun and more unbalanced.

Hopefully, they'll "improve" everyone so much, and make the game so much more unbalanced, that it will actually balance itself.

TF2 was fine and perfect the way it was, them changing it took away all of the fun the game ever had.

LegendK1ll3r

@ScubaSteveDE: It has all Nine classes and one secret character that I know of.

Narb copied that floppy

@Moonshadow101: It was made for a competition, so the finished product does have a reason to exist.

Narb copied that floppy

@Fadakar: It is online multiplayer only.

Narb copied that floppy

Fiance showed me this a couple days ago, and it's kinda neat for being, well, 8-bit. Lots of effort, and it looks interesting.

Kotae

My girlfriend likes the music! I think I'll download this and try it out when I'm not on her computer.

William Killer Shatner

@Erwin: You forgot to factor in misspellings. Therefore, this shit is ridiculous.

hodayathink: I like neo-noir lesbians

@William Killer Shatner: "My girlfriend likes the music! I think I'll download this and try it out when I'm not on her"

That's what was displayed on the front page right next to the post, and to be honest, it's even better without the last word.

Yobari

Geez, The spy and the engineer are considered 'defunct' because their classes don't have any abiliity.

Saith17

@William Killer Shatner:

LOL! I also read that and did a double take, comment of the week right there XD

robinhood_0

Thanks for letting the guy without Windows comment on the game - very useful.

carbon016

@Clarke: Lol, Poor Clarke.

Saith17

@hodayathink: I like neo-noir lesbians: Nonsense! How can one confuse "e" with "ou," or "ridicules" with "ridiculous" for that matter? And blaming this on me, when my device was clearly at fault? How dare you! That shit is "ridicules," foe!

Erwin

@NeonLight: I could have sworn it was too...

Kymeira

@NeonLight: thirded

hammerhand

@LegendK1ll3r:

Really, I find the updates to be interesting and actually add a lot more depth to the game. It's almost becoming more balanced because of the updates. Sure, all the classes aren't to that state yet so if you are some class that gets affected by another classes update, I can see your fustration.

I usually play medic or spy so I haven't experienced anything really disheartening to me. I find the game more enjoyable than it was when I first bought it.

MosesMonster

It's pretty dope. I like it. Which there were more servers to play

MosesMonster

Ah, finally finished! I remember the early beta of that game. Man, balancing issues all around! Well, its about time to boot back to Windows and play around with it again... on the final build.

Mike's Stalker

too much spawncamping

Eranmane

@LegendK1ll3r: Oh please, you don't actually believe that do you? The game is incredibly balanced, even with the updates. The game stats prove that. It's just in your head. But if for some reason you still believe otherwise, here's a novel idea for you: Play on a server that doesn't allow use of unlockable items. Look at that, game fun again.

@DreamDivision: Indeed. Maybe you should have said "Makes me wish that I still found TF2 to be enjoyable." or something along those things.

Đipic

This actually looks intresting...

infestedDemon

@Erwin:

Word!

Darth_Kupi

How Sweet!

ShadowMoses

I demand this on Steam, NOW!!!

psychobaka

@Đipic: Its not perfectly balanced, but the unbalanced classes are the ones that still haven't gotten updates yet.

shadydentist

@LegendK1ll3r: i always thought that was the point. by dumping all of the classes in at once it'd be a big pissing contest and the game would be ridiculously unbalanced, requiring a second major update to level the playing field. By rolling out changes one at a time the game is slightly unbalanced, allowing them to tweak balance as they go and add more updates (as an example, they tweaked the way the backburner worked because it threw the game in the pyro's favor). it's basically this:

a: one gigantic patch after a long time, followed by a second patch months later to balance it. who knows if people are still playing by then

b: several small patches every few months to continually introduce new content, thus exciting a majority of their userbase (you excluded it seems), with balancing tweaks hidden in the patches followed by one final capstone patch to finalize game balance.

i thought the new updates were fun. the sandvich was my favorite. i always play about two weeks after big patches roll out; that's when people are still achievement whoring.

jeebussez

I love the music!

Harfold

@psychobaka: Freebie bonus for TF2 owners!

Kitsune Sniper

@omicron1: I'm fairly sure they renamed everything because of, you know, trademark and copyrights.

Kitsune Sniper

@Clarke: Same here dude, in fact, a lot of people must've done. I don't know HOW this guy got his name written up.

Pspimp

@Đipic:

Yes, it's obviously just in my head, that the game as isn't as fun anymore with all of these high / over powered classes running around.

I can go and play the 360 version, and although it has horrible controls, it'll still be the balanced game it once was. It doesn't have these useless updates, that only make the game more un-fun, annoying, and bothersome.

I've been a TF fan since it came out, yes, the ORIGINAL. You probably have no idea of the joygasm's I had after hearing TF2 was finally coming out, after it being promised for what, 6 or more years? It quickly rose above CS / CS:S as my favorite PC game after the second I got it. Hell, I even own it on the 360 and the PC, and own many other copies of every HL game there is, including atleast 3 copies of HL2 itself.

To show you how dedicated I am to Steam and Valve, I PREORDERED Condition Zero. That takes commitment!

So yes, someone who has been playing HL since it's inception, someone who has played TF from it's inception, someone who played CS for years on end, someone who has experience in every field known to man when it comes to Valve / Steam (I've also worked on skinning, modding, and map making too, so yes, every field) - yet, when I see an update that unbalances the game, it's just in my head?

Sorry. It's not. I'm a veteran when it comes to the TF series, or any series Valve releases (Gearbox, as-well), I'm a loyal and avid fan - so don't think me saying the game unbalanced is just out of "spite" or any other reason you will probably come up with.

The fact is, that the updates have taken a game from being fun, to making it not so fun. It's still a good game, mind you, but ever since the updates, it's just lost it's luster.

That's also why I said, that hopefully, they will roll out unbalanced updates for everyone, so that eventually, with everyone so unbalanced, it will actually end up balancing the game again. Not in the good way, but better then it is now.

That's my 2 cents, enjoy.

LegendK1ll3r

@Đipic: I figured since I was the one expressing it, you would have pieced that puzzle together.

DreamDivision

@NeonLight: Nah, that was on VGcats I think.

Schmeg Peg

I'd like to see some Soundless Mountain II coverage!

AngusBabcock

The only problem with this game is that engineers and spies do not have full functionality yet :( QQ

There are some technical issues, people get problems connecting to servers sometimes, and get disconnected easily with a couple different error messages. But that aside, its really an awesome 'demake' lol.

Pretty fun, i've a got a 1.0 server up and I guess i'll let it run while i'm at work today. (Jesliserver is the name on the lobby list.)

See ya'll around.
