Team Fortress 2 running via web browser, world's fate in question

@bittermang

To be fair, isn't the 3d rendering kinda the hard part? It isn't like TF2 has much in the way of AI (just turrets) or complex scripted events or anything. Not sure if this guy ripped the models straight out of the full game on Valve, but if he did, then he should have all of the animations done as well. Otherwise, yeah, animations can take, er, forever.

@Kinthalis It's not about replacing regular games, it's about adding another avenue/market for games. No, you won't be playing Rage 2 in your web browser, but you might be playing "awesome cartoony MMO FPS/RPG hybrid game w/ no name" on it and enjoying the heck out of it.

@DasMadHatter
Except no, you can't. This was a demonstration by one guy of WebGL's power by loading a TF2 map into it, nothing more. Yet.

@Shadow Hog

:(

@rullers

I'd accept that, my tf2 file is 10gigs total.

@Skorpeyon

Yeah. I can render a TF2 map on my iPod, but that doesn't mean I can actually play the map.

@EliminatorZigma

Yeah, I wholly doubt that an iPod could render TF2's world...

@Jennacide HA, an example of a 3d environment working in a browser? As you said, it isn't working and it isn't the game. How about you wait to champion something when it is a little more than a poorly rendered tech demo. Unreal engine 3 is vastly superior to what this is showing although this is pretty impressive from a technical standpoint. What exactly is it you have against flash anyways? Or are you just spouting the same bs arguments that have no real grounding.
Valve getting right on that, that's rich. Don't worry, I am sure this is exactly what they have been waiting for so they can build episode 3.

@penetraitor
shutup.
