I bet the Pyro rainbowthrower and lollipop are items in today's update.

why is this so amazing.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Neatly covered all three possibilities.

Heavy calls Pyro "that creature", covering the Alien/gender less theory.
Scout says "Is he here?"
Pyro-vision music: "Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart?"

So they've succesfully covered all 3 possibilities while distracting us with pyro vision damn!

 

[HoosTrax]

"Optical Mask"

I've always wondered what the text read, finally saw a close up.

So basically Pyro is confirmed a "he" ("he's not here, is he?!), and he enjoys dropping acid? (or is that the effect of asbestos exposure?)

 

[darthbob]

The video is cool but didn't people want to know wheather it was a guy or a girl? Disappointing that all we found out was MLP vision.

Revealing gender, or species isn't a good move. It would appease half the people who made the initial assumption, and alienate the other half who guesses wrong.

By keeping it unknown, both sides can keep speculating.

 

[Ceebs]

But... why did it take them such a long time to make them? ._.

Go read the blog posts back when Meet the Medic came out. They wanted to do Pyro last, and Medic took them years to get to a point they were happy with.

 

[fluffydelusions]

lololo amazing

 

[erpg]

Absolutely hilarious! Good show, Valve.

 

[jbueno]

I LOLd! Still I´m torn between Medic and Spy for my favorite Meet the Class video.

No confirmation actually... all three possibilities out there.

 

[JakkuFurosu]

im ok with this.


going to suck cause im not to good and usually play on pubs so im sure itll be 80% pyro for next 2weeks

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Entire team is babies.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I didn't enjoy it :|

Only me then.

 

[Drkirby]

Sadly, the Rainbow thrower will likely shoot normal flames.

Mine's still Meet the Sniper. Dat Magnum Force music.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Uh, no...

Neatly covered all three possibilities.

Pyro-vision music: "Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart?"

Scout just assumes Pyro's male. We don't know that. We don't even know it's human.

and he enjoys dropping acid? (or is that the effect of asbestos exposure?)

Or Pyro is beyond utterly delusionally insane?

 

[Blizzard]

I didn't enjoy it :|

Only me then.

I thought the baby stuff was just weird and out of place, and a little creepy, and would have preferred it to stay all fiery. I mean, burning the sniper or medic was good creepy, but the baby world was just weird creepy.

Maybe the bouncing exploding unicorn will be a new pyro item in serious world. The lollipop just looked like the normal axe in serious world.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

So after taking the survey there's a wait until your given access to the beta?
Just making sure I haven't missed a link somewhere.

 

[HoosTrax]

Ok ok, I missed the obvious musical lyric hint. So the only thing we know for sure is that he/she/it likes dropping acid. Edit: Or just flat out insane...

 

[Boss Doggie]

FYI he = neutral term as well.

 

[Visualante2]

They've added some sort of sub surface scattering effects to source, you can see the illumination effect on the heavy's ear. Pretty cool addition to Source. Must've been for one of the heroes in Dota 2 or something. Still doesn't like, make up for Source still feeling creaky.

Cute film anyway.

 

[jbueno]

Mine's still Meet the Sniper. Dat Magnum Force music.

They´re all awesome, my least favorite being the Demoman. That said, I feel it´s kind of unfair for the earlier videos, as they had much more time and maybe even budget for the Spy, Medic and Pyro videos. They need to come out with an animated movie ASAP.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

It was fucking great, I love how the mix all the possibilities, and the pyro vision was awesome.
The most disturbing death was the killing the medic inside the barn (present lol)

This was better than all the latest Pixar's movies.

And here we go with the hyperbole!

 

[thebeeks]

Not exactly what I was expecting, but not disappointed either.

 

[Ferrio]

My favorite is the soldier's. Just because the whole video is setup to deliver the final punchline. It's such a ridiculous story, and great for one of their earlier attempts.

kinda pricey for a blow up without a hole.


Wheres my god dam Cremator's Conscience plushees!

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

that map is coming anytime soon, right?

"I'm a grim bloody fable, with a unhappy bloody end"

I love Meet the Demoman. Meet the Engi is the weakest for me.
I loved this though

Despite the obviously lower production values I still think Meet the Engineer and Meet the Heavy are among the best.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Nice, really excited about the Source Filmmaker.

Meet the Medic was my favorite, I think, maybe.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I wish you could lock people up in rooms now.

 

[BigTnaples]

Okay Source Filmaker is amazing.


OMGVDIA

 

[Izick]

Awesome video, but does the song choice imply that the Pyro is a girl?

 

[Lasthope106]

Entire team is babies.

Amazing. How Valve is able to reference their own memes and give them new life.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Engineer is the weakest for me, followed by Heavy (though it's not so much Heavy's fault, as it started as an animation test for Source and got spun into a neat little promo video). Then Demoman, then Scout.

From there the Big Four are (from amazing best to great best) are Spy, then Medic, then Pyro, then Sniper.

 

[Shambles]

I wish you could lock people up in rooms now.

I like that idea. Have maps with closable doors. Doors take 3-5 seconds to close and lock, can only be opened from one side. Doors can be solid or have holes to allow weaponsfire through while still preventing player movement through.

 

[Moobabe]

The real reason it takes them so long is because they're designing merch alongside it:

It confirms that Valve enjoys trolling their fanbase.

 

[Jive Turkey]

So anyone else want a map in pyro vision?

Absolutely.

Free robot chicken hat to anyone who signs up for AS, meeehhhhhhhhh

 

[BoomBap]

Any one who was REALLY expecting an unmasking type reveal was daffy.That was awesome. <3 valve.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

http://www.adultswim.com/promos/valve/index.html

I have never been less enthused about a promo hat.

Okay, the Kritzkast hat, but still.

 

[Stat!]

Pyro is my favourite class and character in TF2. The video was very fitting. Loved it.

I hope we get some more class loadouts as well today for the Pyro

There's more to come:

Then you'll be the first to know when we have MORE new stuff coming down the ol' Steam pipe-hole... Because this ain't the last you'll hear from Adult Swim and Valve. Stay tuned.

 

[Little Old Man]

Another fantastic short.

/v/ is full of trolls making references to MLP, it's pretty funny to read.

 

[picklecannon]

Quoting myself from the other thread.

4chan called it.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Happiness should be a status effect.
