Team Fortress 2 Gets Replay Editor, Video Competition
Valve introduced a replay editing tool to its popular team-based shooter, and it's holding a contest to encourage users to put it through its paces. Submit the winning video in any one of the twenty categories by the May 19 deadline, and you could be the proud owner of a ridiculous golden Saxxy trophy.
The categories are as follows:
- Most Inventive Kill
- Best Mid-air Murder
- Biggest Massacre
- Funniest Replay
- Best Getaway
- Best Revenge
- Most Pwnage
- Most Heroic
- Players Choice
- Best Set Design
- Best Team Costume
- Best Original Soundtrack
- Best 30 Second Trailer
- Best Coordinated Combat
- Most Dramatic
- Best Cinematography
- Best Editing
- Most Epic Fail
- Most Extreme Stunt
- Best Overall Replay
The full list of rules can be found here, or you can watch the amusing promo video the TF2 team cut together with their own editing tool here. This, like nearly all TF2 goodies, is for PC players only. Does anyone even still play TF2 on console?
If I were a video guy, I'd hold out for someone to bribe me with hats to let them star in my video submission. Because we all know that hats are the true measure of a TF2 player's worth.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
