This game… it just… I didn’t think they could out do the original, but I think this may actually be a sequel that I like more than the original. This is a rare thing, and it doesn’t happen very often, but I’m predicting it here.

Co-op is gonna be so great…

Huh, well I’m glad I’m Still Alive to see this. *bump* Ow, I kicked myself, why?!

Srsly though, this one looks like it’s going to wipe the floor with pretty much everything once it comes out. Glad to see there’s still some real creativity in a mainstream gaming company.

It was definitely awesome when I got my hands on it. Sadly my camera died before I interviewed them but I still got some great information out of them. From what they said, and from what I played, this looks awesome.

On a side note the guy did ask me why I was out of breath when I was interviewing him and playing the game. I direct you to the video below.

Ugh…
Am I the only one sick of Portal? Creative, innovative, unique…perhaps.
But for God’s sake, SHUT UP ABOUT IT.
Don’t even get me started on ‘the cake’.

Just so you know, the liquid thing comes from the indie game Tag: The Power of Paint. So Valve is good and finding talented indies and hiring them. Looking forward to this but I would hope Valve would say anything, ANYTHING about the continuation of Half-Life some time soon.

I so don’t trust that voice! It annoyed me through the whole game, though it didn’t make the game itself bad :) Gotta buy it, when it’s released! Even if the cake indeed is a lie :(

Probably. I think this one looks better, but i think it was also due to the fact i was sick of that cake is a lie joke, sick of still alive, and the game was so overhyped that when i played it i was like “that’s it?”. A lot of people said well yeah its a short game what did you expect, but the hype that was given to me i expected it to bring on the second coming (or at least be a bit more varied. The mechanic was cool, but you do one portal puzzle, you petty much done them all).

yea Portal was a game that if you didn’t get in early the fandom could have ruined it for you.

Just Another Stranger

All I have to say is, “Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Although I’m not sure if that squeel of excited delight was long enough.

Getting excited about an apparent full upgrade to a game that was viewed as perfection by many is something to talk about. I absolutely loved the first Portal, told all my friends about it, had them play it, and then listened to how much they loved it. Spreading the word on excellent games rather than another Madden or another Gears of War ripoff is absolutely necessary in order for shiny gold games to prosper in today’s brown and gray shooter industry.

… And calm down guy… how about some cake?

And you know this because…. you own one or something? I’m sorry to disappoint you, but even after a year my Mac still performs at peak performance. Why are you bringing this age-old discussion up anyway? If you love PC, use a PC, enjoy it, and let people enjoy their Macs. Different computer systems suit different kinds of people.

Looks like a pretty solid sequel. On the one hand its kind of repetitive to be the same chick apparently still trapped in the same lab an going up against GLADOS again. But hell it almost wouldn’t be Portal otherwise. At least on the game mechanics front it looks like there is a lot of new stuff to overcome. Co-Op isn’t that big a deal to me but it should be amusing to run through it once or twice. An i’m sure the couples an friends Valve is aiming for will love it.

The one thing that gets me though is I thought maybe this was going to be tying into the Half Life series. But if she has been in stasis for a hundred years or more then maybe not.

oh hell yes. I was so hooked on portal that I had to borrow a PC so I could play it. And play it I did. I lost count of how many times I ran through the game, each time figuring out different ways to complete the challenges. And now it gets even better. Multi platform AND on Apple computers now. And GlaDos has got to be one of my favorite villains, I’m glad she’s back. And I’m gonna take her apart and throw those pieces into a fire all over again. I am greatly anticipating this game. Animals and small children void their bowels in the awesome presence of Portal 2.

That. Is. The. Best. Trailer. EVER! (The one at the end I mean)

All trailers should be something like that. Most trailers nowadays only show you big flashy cutscenes without telling you anything about the game. But this… damn!

Fun fact, VALVe actually originally were going to have Portal 2 start out with another character, until they realized instantly that GLaDOS and the player already had an established connection and relationship from the first game, having a new character would make the relationship with GLaDOS completely different and disconnect the player.

So they wanted to continue that relationship during the next game.

Also, you actually get to explore the labs this time around unlike the last game where all you saw where broken down pipes and empty rooms.

So, yeah.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Pierre-Chanliau/1084524377 Pierre Chanliau

They’ve tried and they’ve said it isn’t as fun as it sounds.

And when you think about it, it isn’t. People would be trying to Portal under people’s feet all the time and people would just be bunny hoping.

It wouldn’t work. At all.

TheGreatCommenter

Then I wish you many more enjoyable years with your PC, Johnny :-)

They’ve said that the single player campaign is twice as long as the one from the first game, so that gives you around 7-8 hours as they’ve said Portal was 3-4 hours long.

They also said that co-op is the same length or even longer than the single player campaign.

So that gives you around 16 hours of game play.

I have to agree there. GLaDOS did have some pretty funny lines in Portal, but if she does in Portal 2 too, it sure isn’t showing in this trailer.

Then again, maybe the robotic monotone is just plain old now. We’ve seen that already and it’s no longer enough to make the jokes funny by itself.

Anonymous

the trailer for the cooperative gameplay is simply amazing! i havent seen it before and i was really wondering how they would pull that off… im impressed!^^
and yeah, my first thought after seeing the trailers, gameplay videos and all that was that the puzzles in this game will be very very evil…
oh man, ill SO muy this game!^^

ok i have to be honest, when i first learned their would be a portal 2, i was completely against it, i didnt thought they could be able to come up with enough innovation for it, and that it was going to pretty much be a map bundle with better graphics, BUT having seen this video, i have to say they shut me up real good!!!!, valve truly is amazing, and i have to say this game looks awesome, cant wait to get XD

No, hating is writing “Spoony, stop wasting your mothafuckin’ time on wrasslin’ and these Goddamn tradeshows, and get back to giant Dizzy Gillespie.” I was just pointing out that it’s lazy to send a game demo out there and not have some corporate talking head answer the media’s questions (and Spoony’s part of the media now.)

I was hoping Portal 2 would be out. And it looks awesome! I just wish it isn’t too difficult. I’ll admit, I’m not very good at puzzle games, and that whole 4 portals thing along with the goo allows for just mind bending complexity in the puzzles. Only one bad thing from Valve: Still no news of episode 3.

Portal is a puzzle game of beautiful simplicity and complexity and (in my opinion) the flawless execution of teaching through gradual steps. for $10 you should try it. For Science, Cake, and the Love of a inanimate storage container.

no reason robots can’t be self aware. They are probably better of without it if GLadOS is running the show. But any machine who constantly alters the laws of physics has to question nature of reality at some point.
