Portal 2 is looking better every time I see it.
Fellows, we might have ourselves an excellent sequel for once.

Before Portal came out, the gameplay videos that were being released also made the game look fucking impossible. What made it possible was the brilliant pacing, which eased you in to certain concepts before making you use them on your own. Hopefully, Portal 2 will do the same kind of thing with all of it's tubes and gels and whatnot. As long as it doesn't turn in to a monotonous Here's this, try this, use this, repeat, kind of game, all of these new tools should be fantastic for the gameGet_A_Grip_ said:
Ahhhh, commence with the brain-breaking, Valve. I await this wonderfully gooey, utterly intriguing, hideously complex game with absolutely no patience whatsoever.
I can't wait to see what's going to happen to the productivity of the industrialized world if this thing gets released on anything except a Friday.

I have a strange feeling Valve is going to put some very well hidden secrets around the game using these new mechanics.
Like using the blue gel and jumping to places you aren't told to.
Or riding in one of those Diversity Vents to see where it takes you.
Oh dear, Valve is going to toy with us ever so much.

That is just awesome. I wasn't really hyped about this game but now I'm gonna be all over it when it's released.
My bet is he's gonna be some computer you meet later in the game, or maybe him in person.Quiet Stranger said:

Can't wait to play this. The new AI seems pretty cool as well. I can tell there's going to be lots of fun with all these new toys 
Actually, the design team has grown in size. The original game was made by a grand total of 8 people. This one has 28 fully dedicated designers. Plus, via the Cabal system Valve uses in developing their titles, anyone from another project can help out or lend some content.similar.squirrel said:
As psyched as I was at the prospect of seeing something about Episode 3 at E3 this year, and being rather disappointed in not, I can honestly say that seeing this game in development more than makes up for it. The first was absolute brilliance bordering on perfection. This sequel, based on what little we've seen, seems to indicate that Valve have figured out a way to improve on near-perfection. I'm ecstatic for this games release. Super nerdy, I know, but I don't care.
I noticed this as well. I couldn't believe the amount of emotion coming out of Wheatley and Glados, based solely on their movements and mannerisms. It seems Valve have REALLY stepped up skills of their animators.Ih8pkmn said:
Well I have to admit that was awesome. Going along with a new comic character and then ... guess who's back.
