GDC 08: ‘Meet the Scout’ the Next Team Fortress 2 Promotional Video
Toward the end of his presentation regarding the visual style of Team Fortress 2, Valve’s design engineer Jason Mitchell gave the session’s attendees the world’s first look at the upcoming ‘Meet the Team’ promotional video, featuring the smack-talking Scout.
“I’m a force of nature. If you were from where I was from, you’d be f–king dead!”
Seeing the Scout was a bit of a surprise, since Valve announced over a month ago that the Pyro would be the next character to be spotlighted in his own video.
I won’t go heavily into the details, because these ‘Meet the Team’ videos can only truly be enjoyed first-hand. Nonetheless, expect to see the fearless sprinter brazenly take on an enemy quite a bit larger than himself.
He may not be the biggest or the toughest TF2 character, but the Scout himself boasted “Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brother…I hurt people.”
Mitchell asked that attendees kindly not film the video and we all gladly obliged. However, I was able to snap a few photos, shown below.
Valve will be releasing the video online within the next few weeks.
