News from GT TV's Visit to Valve

[CSN NewsBot]

Update: They've added the video to their site now. There are both a HD version and a SD version.



Original: I'll update a bit as new news hits from Gametrailer TV's episode from where they visit Valve's offices.

• New plush toys are in the works. TF2 characters will soon be your bedside companions, starting with the Heavy.
  
  
• There is presently no Counter-Strike 2, however...
  
  
• As I said in my "Valve Bits" article, and as stated again on the show just now, IF they go ahead and start development on a Counter-Strike 2, they are leaning to taking an approach similar to what was done with TF2. Re-evaluate everything but try to stay close to the heart of Counter-Strike.
  
  
• That's not to say that CS2 would match TF2's art style.
  
  
• Portal 2 is sort of, kind of confirmed (again).
  
  
• Kim Swift wishes to explore more of the Aperture Science labs themselves, to provide more of a look at the building.
  
  
• Some very impressive Left 4 Dead footage is being shown (we'll have links to the episode once they're live on Gametrailers tomorrow).
  
  
• Gabe states that L4D will greatly appeal to fans of Counter-Strike
  
  
• A PS3 version of L4D isn't completely ruled out, and may one day be developed.
  
  
• Goldrush for TF2 is looking to be a rather massive map, easily the size of Dustbowl with the same texture style.
  
  
• Nothing in development for the Wii and that is something Valve really wants to look at.
  
  
• Episode 3 is being worked on, in case there was any doubt.

That's it, the show is over. Move along folks there's nothing more to see here.

What they really meant to say was 'Counter-Strike is dead'.

You know what would be awesome.. if they put those little voice boxes into the plush toys that when you squeeze them, they say things from the game.

I highly recommend you send this into Gabe Newell, cause if you don't, I will. Thats an awesome idea.

I can just imagine squeezing the Pyro and it going "Mwhhmwhwhwmwhwhmm!"
