Don't hate me for my ignorance and laziness, but can you play all of portal 2 single player, or is all co-op??

Will it be 'I can play only some' levels alone I guess?
There's a co-op campaign.

Because of this, I might consider buying this for PS3...
Finally they're making use of the PS3! I've been hoping for this since e3. Man, how awesome was THAT?!

Wouldnt blame you for not knowing this but Microsoft made a game called Shadowrun. The only special thing about this game is that it had a cross-platform multiplayer that encouraged PC gamers and 360 gamers to fight to the death. Alas due to the aiming superiority of the PC gamers, which was so bad that low skill PC gamers could decimate the most skilled console gamers, Microsoft eventually just dropped the cross-platform section and the game faded into history.

But not 360?
Valve has pretty much given XBL the middle finger based on the policy of allowing only a small percentage of free DLCs. Valve being a company quite generous with free DLC, such as giving away a HL2 level that they created as a tech demo... damn fine level, too.
Not to mention all the L4D updates and TF2 and stuff. They are a very generous company.

I sort of doubt the cross platform play, but it is possible. I would just see the PS3 players being at a disadvantage (and this is coming from a huge PS3/console gamer in general). I think personally I'll buy it on my comp, but if I can play with PS3 players then that's cool too. I just always find Valve games easier to control on a comp, a lot of other companies make really good FPS games though for consoles.

Right. I said it would work for Portal just fine because there's not a lot of exact aiming involved. They try to throw cross-platform co-op on any traditional FPS, though, and PC gamers would get pissed at their PS3 brethren real fast. "PC Only" servers would end up being the norm, so at that point there's little purpose in including that cross-platform play.
Well ps3 owners can choose to use a dualshock, a mouse and keyboard, or Move. I hear Move and wii m+ are actually more accurate than gamepads once you get accustomed. Options will level the playing field a bit, because ps3 owners have the option, Pc gamers can't always write them off.

There is singleplayer main storyline and co-op main storyline

Well if they play with a mouse and keyboard nobody would be able to tell the difference, but I don't imagine many PS3 owners would go that route just to please people online, do you? Most will stick with the gamepad, as that's one of the reasons they bought a console to begin with.
While most would use a dualshock, after seriously getting my ass kicked, even though i prefer a controller i would probably have to try something else. Sony has sold quite a few moves so far, and depending on the year goes, if the advantage given to Move owners becomes apparent and significant its install base will increase in order to compete(people love winning against other people). Sadly by the time this happens, if this happens, Portal 2 would have been out(if it does happen i wouldn't expect Move to hit its stride until after the release of killzone 3). Eh, just thoughts and words.

They havn't dropped cross platform support, I still often play it with my cousin who plays on 360 and I play on Pc. Unless this is recent news that I havn't seen.

Okay, yeah... not sure why I didn't think of that problem before. Multiplayer probably should probably stick to just them selves. Though maybe 360 to PS3 might work. Though that might just end up giving wind to the console flame-war. Ok, screw cross-platform multiplayer.

2 different stories. The single player you play as Chell and in the Co-op you play as a modified Personality Core and a Turret.

On my PS3.

Does this mean I can play Oblivion GOTY on the PS3, since I own it for PC?

Sunovabitch.
I hope that would be true... Then I could play Mafia II and GTA IV on my PS3...

Oh man, that is freaking awesome if true. We have a decent-ish pc and a ps3 in the house I live with my friends, this would be amazing!
Sober Thal said:
So, correct me if I am wrong here... Valve still isn't going to give me a full single player game? I can only get half a game again?!?!
They've said the single player will be about twice as long as the first game, as well as the co-op being about the same length as that. So it's good either way.

No.
Steamworks is the infrastructure behind Steam. Steam is the client.
well, either way, cross-platform play between PS3 and PC/Mac will be great, now I'll be able to play against my PC Elitist friends and rub the cross-platforming in the CoD Frag-heads(which is nearly half my year)feces
