This one, that came today, is more recent than the one I posted this morning, and more updated.

Most interesting:

  • Goldrush will use a “cinematic physics” system
  • The current version of the unlockable medi-gun gives you 100% uber instead of invulnerability
  • The goldrush cart will also act as a dispenser to help the attackers

New TF2 Interview

CVG Interview VALVe, again.

So, where is hunted? First of all, goldrush is a hunted replacement:

Goldrush grew out of thinking about Hunted (Team Fortress 1’s game mode in which one team must defend a player-controlled VIP from the other - Ed),wanting to bring forward the value you get out of a Hunted game but at the same time solve some of the problems that caused Hunted to not really work in the public space.

But that doesn’t mean we won’t get our hunted in the future:

Goldrush grew out of that, and themain difference is that we’ve replaced the VIP character with, er, acart. This doesn’t preclude us from doing the original Hunted style -obviously some of the pros of Hunted didn’t come through, we did lose alittle bit. We’ll just see what people think.

Notice he means pros in the meaning of pros vs cons, not professionals (Though I know quite a bit of hardcore hunted players that didn’t move to tf2 :) )
