The latest Team Fortress 2 update has added a seal and fans are lving it
Team Fortress 2 is back with a bang, and this can be the start of a new era for the game, but only if Valve is willing to help it.
Dozens, if not hundreds, of players could be affected.
Team Fortress 2 is one of Valve's most popular games, with the multiplayer FPS regularly among the titles listed in most played charts on Steam, despite not being supported all that much by its developer.
There are also console players of the game, but now it looks like one of these platforms is sadly no longer viable. TF2 arrived on Sony's PlayStation 3 as part of a package. And what a package it was. This would be The Orange Box, a compilation that included Half-Life 2, expansions for such, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. But now, 15 years after releasing on PS3, the servers for TF2 have gone offline.
I loved this game back in the day, me and my best friend would spend hours and hours on this.
Such a shame, but no doubt it was dead years ago.
Even the 360 version is on deaths door you can spend an hour just trying to find a game.
Come on Valve, give us a full remake of the first two games and their expansions. What else are you up too?
Valve has suffered the biggest asset leak in the company's history, after a series of asset repositories for its games from 2016 were released online. The games are Portal, Counter Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, Half Life 2: Episodes 1 & 2, Half-Life 2 multiplayer, and Team Fortress 2.
Can't help but feel people will mess around with these assets and end up importing them into S&box, probably recreated for certain modes at least.
"Tons of never before seen maps, models, PSDs & VMFs, everything," writes TF2 content creator Richter Overtime(opens in new tab). "Once the community finishes digesting this (61GB), there will be nothing else to talk about. This is the last official TF2 content drop you or I will ever see."
Oof. They didn't have to do us like that.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the biggest leak in Valve’s history was in the early 2000’s where they had to recreate Half Life 2 because the game was stolen and leaked online.
It wasn't the full game, it was buggy and unfinished but was interesting to see the physics and mess around in it.
I don't think they had to recreate because of that leak however it certainly was the biggest most damaging leak in their history.
This new incident is mostly old game assets I have not read anything about source code which would be very critical this is more like a nice museum piece for preservationists who like cataloging video game history.
I find it interesting personally as it's new art and shows the ideas and way of thinking their internal teams had from years ago and shows ideas they tried but may have not been able to pull off
Well. they havent made a game in ages so others might as well mess around with the assets.
Well, technically Half Life Alyx released only a couple years back, but I still kinda get what you mean.
