E3 2008 - Dungeon Hero - New Screenshots/Artwork

Gamecock has released new media for Dungeon Hero. Screenshots/artwork below:

Dungeon Hero provides players with a fresh take on the classic dungeon based game. The in-game world is a totally functional, living, breathing community in every way. Eat, sleep, chat, socialize, trade and travel as you would in any civilized place – after all dungeon creatures are people too! Fierce adrenaline pumping close quarters combat against a multitude of enemies drives the player deep into their heroic role. The battle system is intense with savage encounters that will leave enemies wondering where they went wrong. Dark times call for one to stand against many, will you be the one strong enough to become the Hero of the Dungeon?

Shacknews has the full scoop on the upcoming Pyro achievements/unlocks. Pyro will be getting three new weapons; Flare Gun, Backburner and Axtinguisher. As with medic achievements, you’ll unlock them as you complete 12/24/35 achievements.

Flare Gun:

This’ll be the first unlock (after you complete 12 achievements) and is able to light people on fire from a great distance. However, it’ll require steady aim.

The first Pyro unlockable is The Flare Gun, which replaces the shotgun. It allows the Pyro to ignite an enemy at long range, but does require careful aim on their part. It’s particularly useful for causing havoc on Snipers and Engineers who want to keep their distance. Read more

Team Fortress 2 - Medic Achievements get dumbed down

One of the (supposedly) VALVe employees, Tim Dorr, has revealed some additional details about the upcoming medic unlocks in his Flickr photo stream. If the pictures are to be believed, many achievements have been dumbed down. These include:

Medical Breakthrough:

Assist in destroying 8 enemy engineer buildings with a single uber-charge on a Demoman.

The number of buildings has been toned down to 5.

You’ll Feel A Little Prick:

Assist in killing 4 enemies with single uber-charge on a scout.

The number of kills has been toned down to 3 enemies.

Big Pharma:

Assist a heavy in killing 30 enemies where neither of you die.

The number has now been toned down to 20.

Blunt Trauma:

Assist in punching out 4 enemies with a single uber-charge on a heavy.

The number of enemies to punch has been toned down to 2.

Chief of Staff:

Accumulate 10 million total heal points.

The number of heal points required has been dumbed down to 1million. 9 million decrease.

It’s rather unfortunate that Valve decided to tone some challenging achievements down just so they can please masses. Check out the Flickr image gallery for Team Fortress 2 related images (including playtesting and pics of Valve’s office).

Team Fortress 2 - Medic Unlock Details!

Shacknews has the first details on Valve’s upcoming medic unlocks. Including names and usage! So without further ado, here they are:

The Blutsaugher
For players that earn one third of the 36 new medic achievements, they will be given a new syringe gun. Called “The Blutsaugher,” this new weapon no longer has the ability to score critical hits against an opponent. Instead it will draw health from enemies each time a syringe hits. Especially useful as a weapon to retreat away from the fight while staying alive.
