I don't know that I have room for a TF2 Clone in my library, and the more I see of this game, the more it looks like a slimmed down TF2.

If this follows the trend of other XBLA titles, it's lobby will be a ghost town in just a few days after release, but I would love to be wrong about that.

It is a tower defence kinda game. Sure it has a very similar look, but it plays very differently.

Looks like a horrid, horrid, version of tf2 in third person. Why would anyone want this especially with the weirdly creepy voiced sniper spouting off childish insults. Like we don't get enough 12 year olds calling us noobs that we need the game to do it to.

Man, so much about this trailer makes me think of TF2. The gameplay is obviously very different, but dude, it's being developed by UBER Entertainment. C'mon.

Looks like what TF2 would have been if it was designed for the 12 year old console kiddies. Dam that character was annoying.

In TF2 medics deploy "ubercharges," and this game is being developed by a company called Uber Entertainment. I just liked that after several things in the trailer itself reminded me of TF2, even the developer's name seemed to be referencing it.

This game looks awesome, I think its pretty obvious they are playing the TF2 card, thats pretty OK with me, I wish more games looked like this instead of uber heavy and depressing.

The only thing they could be going for is a TF2 feel.  They're even trying to imitate the comedic dialog of TF2, but failing.  No matter whether this Sniper is meant to sound like an annoying 12 year old on XBL, it doesn't come across as funny, or entertaining.  You can't force a certain type of personality into a game that's clearly trying to be a +1 to the likes of TF2.

This doesn't look like TF2 at all.  Only the art style and the fact it has classes is similar.  On the Bombcast they mention its supposed to be like DOTA.  Hence all the robots and stuff.  TF doesn't have all those extra NPCs

I think no one's saying anything about the gameplay. The feeling is completely TF2ish, no discussion about it. It's obvious they were aiming at that.

For everyone calling it a "ripoff" of TF2, I can see why you say that, judging strictly from it's visual style.  While yes, there are some very direct nods to the franchise and shares some classes I highly recommend giving the game a shot when it comes out.
 
It doesn't really play like Team Fortress 2 at all.  If anything, it plays like Uber mashed League of Legends into the class based shooter genre.   I had the distinct pleasure of playing it at Pax East up in Boston and it is an absolutely blast.  It definitely stole the show.

The people saying "This looks like TF2." are obviously not talking about game mechanics. They're talking about art direction, giving the different classes distinct personalities, and humor style. And they're absolutely right. It's a poor man's TF2 in that regard.

TF2 (with many awesome, free updates) costs 10$, this stupid clone (probably without Dedicated Servers and where you play mostly against bots) costs 15$. The choice should be clear.

Emphasis.  Also, I'm absolutely for a game failing miserably if the developers try to shoehorn "n00b!" or other pandering-to-13-year-olds-who-just-found-the-internet phrases.  Let's hope it dies!
