In-depth look at L4D/TF2!

[hool10]

I think this is one of the greatest things that Valve puts out which is the art and before and after. It's very rare for them to release it which is disappointing. Well they showed off some TF2 and L4D: http://www.valvesoftware.com/publications/2008/GameFest08_ArtInSource.pdf The game is looking amazing but I don't like that film grain too much. Btw what is up with the cool looking TF2 concept sketches and they made them look basic with a :| face instead of a :hmph: face? Some great L4D pics in those slides.

Here are some more of their presentations including Portal: http://www.valvesoftware.com/publications.html Wtf at the original start of Portal.

Very interesting read.
Wish we could've got their original vision of TF2. ;(

I love the concepts, they're awesome, and L4D looks sweet with all the effects.

Wtf at the original start of Portal.

The game actually started out as a 1960's scifi noir (black and white) game... Not sure if they ever mentioned that in public though
