Worlds collide: Dungeon Defenders gets TF2, Portal items
Yeah, Dungeon Defenders still hasn't managed to release on PC, though that'll be happening soon enough. Ahead of this version's Wednesday, October 19 release, Trendy Entertainment is giving a shout-out to the Steam-exclusive goodies. First, there's the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, usable by the Huntress class. It allows you to open and use portals as you would expect, although it's restricted by a limited energy reserve. So no, it's likely not going to be as overpowered as it initially looks. Also included are Team Fortress 2 familiars: the Heavy, the Engineer, the Medic, and the Pyro. This seems like a solid fusion of game properties rather than a quick attempt at pulling in Valve fans, but then again, I do have a fairly high tolerance for that sort of thing. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)They would have a large increase in sales if it were the other way around. I could care less about TF2 characters in DD. Now, DD hats in TF2, on the other hand... Needs more hats! I love a bit of cross game pollination. Glad Valve and other studios are leading the way. I pre-ordered this game months ago on D2D(when the steam version wasn't available) and the steam version gets all these extras. I feel like I'm getting punished for giving them my money early. 10:30 AM on 05.18.2013 Cart Life dev reveals new game, is humble and lovableI'd like to pay Richard Hofmeier to talk to me about videogames.
