DANGERMAN Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm genuinely not all that excited about this. I didnt love the first game as much as everyone else, but i preferred it when it was lots of short puzzles. And as has already been said Stephen Merchant being Stephen Merchant doesn't really appeal, it's going to be like an interactive bank advert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite things from the original was its minimalist desgin. Portal 2 seems to have a lot more going on. Merchant sounds so out of place, but I guess Valve know what they're doing?..

Ive never played the first one - should I have? The orange box is too full of games I will never play so have never bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I think Portal is a game everyone should at least try, it's pretty special. Give the XBLA release a play, it's quite a generous demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 yeah the first one is awesome to the max, well worth trying like other people in here i'm not really watching stuff about this, want to keep it fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberpunk Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Ditto on that Spatular. I loved the first one. I had that song in my head for ages too. I'll keep away from the vids and stuff to go in fresh when it's released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinn888 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I loved the first one, even tho i never owned it. I dont know who Stephen Merchant is but i quite like tht companion robot. I can sit at an xbox for hours trying to figure out a puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinn888 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 According to Valve, who amusingly call this their "shortest delay in Valve history," Portal 2 will now be available "the week of April 18th, 2011" - so, we assume they mean April 19th for North America and April 22nd.

Sly Reflex Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Valve confirmed cross platform play over PS3, PC and Mac. PS3 version even has a code to DL Portal 2 through steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 He's not wrong. Valve has announced that the PlayStation 3 version of Portal 2 will feature Steam functionality. This is the first time Steam has ever appeared on a console, and this will also be the first time that PlayStation 3 gamers will be able to play with PC or Mac gamers. Along with cross-platform multiplayer, we can expect persistent cloud-based storage for PS3 save games and cross-platform chat. (To clarify, "cross-platform" in this context means PS3-PC/Mac, not PS3-360.)On top of that, anyone who buys Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3 will be able to unlock a Steam Play copy of Portal 2 for the PC and Mac for free by linking their PSN and Steam accounts. Portal 2 project lead Josh Weier explains that Valve has designed the cross-platform experience to be hassle-free: "PS3 gamers will be able to simply drop the Blu-ray disc in the PS3, link to their Steam account from inside the game, and all their Steam friends (on PC and Mac) will be visible and accessible for chat and game invites." Back at E3 2010, Gabe Newell promised that the PlayStation 3 version would be the best console version, and now we know what exactly he meant. Newell went on to say, along with today's announcement, that Valve hopes "to expand upon the foundation being laid in Portal 2 with more Steam features and functionality in DLC and future content releases." PS3 version it is then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I dont doubt that M&K will be the better control scheme, and maybe the 360 players of the first game will tell me different, but the speed the game moves at (relatively slow) might meen a controller is fine. Granted a deathmatch might be a problem, but co-op might be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 it's pretty cool allowing pc/ps3/mac multiplayer but i don't think it'll sway me away from the 360 version. I dont doubt that M&K will be the better control scheme, and maybe the 360 players of the first game will tell me different, but the speed the game moves at (relatively slow) might meen a controller is fine. Granted a deathmatch might be a problem, but co-op might be ok. i played the first one on 360 and didn't have any problems with controls but some of the later puzzles required some manouvers which i could see someone who was good with mouse/kb being better at. is the multiplayer competetive or coop? if it's just coop it won't matter.

Cyberpunk Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I've got no PS3, and I think I'd rather play this on PC, over Xbox360. There were a few points on the first one, where I'd never have finished if I had to use a gamepad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 If I do get it, I'll be going for the 360 version over PS3 or PC. I don't care for the cross-platform play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I know it's only an advert, but there was some Portal adds all over the floor at Piccadilly Station. I think they should have had an orange one on the floor, then a blue one on a wall with a portal character in leaping out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikman Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Couldn't find another thread and this is my next game to be all excited about. I adored the first and can't wait for this! Bot Trust Vid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
