TF2 On The Backburner, But Challengers Approaching
In a move unprecedented in Valve’s illustrious history, Doug Lombardi yesterday announced that we’d be waiting a little while before we got our hands on what we want – the next major update to Team Fortress 2. That’s the scoop over at Shacknews, anyway. Apparently Left 4 Dead is stealing hearts, minds, and will continue doing so for some time yet.
Well, it won’t be this year, but we’re going to keep evolving TF2. Once Left 4 Dead wraps, you’ll hear us clamoring more about [the next TF2 update].
Speaking of which – I suppose everyone has pre-ordered L4D on Steam (or otherwise) at a 10% discount (US$44.99) already? A couple of days over a month until we get our hands on presumably the #1 multiplayer experience of the year; the TF2 of 2008, if you will.
And speaking of buying things, if you haven’t checked out World of Goo already, I highly recommend it. There’s a demo floating around if you’d like a taste before forking out to support one of the greatest indie titles in recent memory.
Or if you’re more of the gritty jungle shooter inclination, perhaps FarCry 2 will be of interest? It’s been up on Steam for a $5 pre-order discount for the last week or so, and will be available in a little under one more… so long as you live in North America. Sigh.
