Eric Ruth is working on another videogame demake, this one based on Team Fortress 2. His previous work includes reimaginings of Left 4 Dead, DJ Hero (which landed him a cease and desist), and Halo as if they had been released on NES.
His latest project, according to Piki Geek, is known as Team Fortress Arcade. It takes the characters and setting of Team Fortress 2 and turns them into a 90s-style, side-scrolling beat-em-up with guns. All nine classes are included, each with multiple weapons (including special abilities, like rocket jumping in the Soldier’s case) and stats (like speed and health) based on their TF2 versions. Sound effects and music are taken right from TF2 to ensure it feels like a Team Fortress game.
Arcade is playable by up to four players at once. Online multiplayer isn’t currently available, although Ruth told Piki Geek it’s something he has plans to eventually include.
