What has changed in almost 10 years?

[Honorstar]

So I came across an interesting video about the subtle changes in TF2 from the beginning.
What do you think? Is stuff better or worse now?

I think they made a lot of changes to try and lose the "cartoony" vibe. Which I loved personally.

I think overall the graphics of the game are fine, although a little dull and flat at times. They were a bit more vibrant before.

Looks like just some shading differences on the guns and maps.

The reason for this is actually because of the addition of high-poly fan-made cosmetics and hats. Valve didn't want to degrade the performance when community-made cosmetics were added (which were usually MUCH more intensive and detailed then things added by Valve, due to them not putting a poly-count limit). They wanted the game to be runnable by the systems that always could run it, but they also had the process of supplying content through users, so they had to change some of the graphics to keep performance up.

Not enough sniper

Yeah, basically what I'm noticing is things are less shiny and they're trying to incorporate a feel of natural wear over time in the game, which is cool.

Also, they cut back on a lot of animations, like 36 said, because the game is getting too bloated nowadays.

I loved that montage of all those miscellaneous map features being turned darker shades xD

I actually didn't know the Demo's bottle doesn't break anymore. This makes me sad.

That was a fairly interesting video; I wonder if there are more games that could be compared similarly.

Yeah but you're new. This thread is about things that have been around for 10 months or more.
