Valve released this video of Team Fortress 2 explaining why and how they got this so particular look for the game. a very interesting video like I'd love to see more often!

Wow. They really broke out the Thesaurus for this video clip didn't they?
more lingo for our fellow posters here!
eg. "wow, i really love that fresnel function on the lambertian shader on screenshot #9" and then you can do all kinds of combinations and always look smart
eg "don't you think the phong break angle on the anisotropic cel shader should have had a greater impact on the specularity of the normal mapping?!" =P
anyways, very cool movie. i for one love to see this techie-geckie stuff behing the fun. and yeah, this game is gonna rock.
awesome stuff. people don't realize the amount of effort it takes to make this art look the way it does...and how much of a scientist must each artist be to get things looking just right.
4 maps, really? Well I guess they gotta make their money back somehow. I mean, this is EA we're talking about. It's a miracle we are seeing this many games selling for $60 given the circumstances.
will this game run fine with a computer that can run Half Life 2 fairly well? got kind of an old graphics card from 2004 and it runs counter strike source and half life 2 on med-high settings with a low amount of lag. since this game is new, would i need to upgrade to play this or can i just use the same card i have and will it run fine?

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (3 Weeks ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (5 Weeks ago)

@Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (10 Weeks ago)

Commented on 2007-08-16 16:58:06I like the art direction of the game. For me, it really resembles those of Pixar quality CG. Great work Valve!
