The Portal 2 E3 Demo Will Give You a Headache

[silver wolf009]

"Eh! pop a portal ova' er!"

That sphere is going to be the new cube companion.

 

[CronosYamato]

I WANT PORTAL 2! NOW!!! This game looks even better than Portal 1, which was the best game ever. WANT! NOW! GIVE!

 

[JohnDoey]

Portal 2 2011 game of the year calling it now.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Glad to see it's going to be hilarious, probably even funnier than the first one. But it looks... oh so very hard... These are probably levels from early on in the game... I could barely do Portal 1 without asking my friend for help...

GOD DAMNIT

I've been whining about the flood of sequels ever since the E3 started, and told myself I wouldn't allow myself to get all hyped up over a sequel.

And yet... I want it I want it I want it and I want it now!

Me too! By the gods I want this game so badly now! Dear lord I think I might have been happy with a bunch of new levels but Valve had to go and make my head explode at all the new twist's they've added to this game.

 

[Enigmers]

My reactions to these video range from "Holy shit!" and "You've gotta be kidding me."

I can already tell that Wheatly is going to be a fan favorite.

I hate him

I'm glad valve revealed that its only a placeholder Voice acting so they had something in time for E3

Really? I'm glad too, I didn't like his voice. I think he will be awesome if he voice is a bit goofier, if you know what I mean?

OT: I cannot wait for this game to give me headaches.

is it just me or does wheatly sound like the gecko from all the geico ads

Reminds me of Steve Valentine actually (Alistair from Dragon Age, Harry Flynn from Uncharted)

Absolutely loving this game so far, might be one of Valve's best if they keep up what they're showing us.

Make no bones about it, this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
However, including both the blue bouncy paint and the aerial faith plates seems a bit redundant.

Yes and no. I could see how the paint could be more fun as you can put it where you want when the faith plates actualy work with gravity. I want to make a Portal 2 pinball level! Imagine a big fall, then the speed paint, then at the end bounce paint! I like it becuase of the freedom it gives the player.

Wheatley has some Pixar-grade emoting, there. I'm charmed already. Can't wait for this.

I think GLaDoS needs to be really malevolent, not the pretend nice she seems to be doing. She needs to really be trying to KILL the player.

 

[Fortesque]

It brings 3 words to mind: Total Mind Fuck!

That stuff after the end of the last clip is INSANE

 

[Thedayrecker]

............................uhhhhhhhhhh HOLY BALLS!!!! This is game is gonna KICK ASS!

 

[oreopizza47]

i quiver with anticipation. but i quite liked Wheatly, even here. the voice is perfect; GlaDos's cold, machine vocie is nicely balanced by Wheatly's childish and inquisitive voice.

 

[Simalacrum]

While these video's are awesome, to be fair Game Trailers already posted off-screen versions of these video's a while back during E3... while they're quality was a lot lower, this stuff has already been shown.

 

[soren7550]

I'm with the author here 100%.

 

[hopeneverdies]

Nah. If you've watched the developer commentary, the amount of work that went into level-design in the first one was phenomenal. Had every angle covered. I don't recall ever doing anything that felt 'cheap'.

No reason why it shouldn't happen again. I presume the team is the same, anyway..

Test Chamber 14 had a solution that bypassed basically the entire puzzle. Sure you could complete the puzzle normally by portal hopping up to the cube and redirecting the energy orb, but why bother when you can do the entire thing in two portals?

Thankfully Valve were good sports about it and decided to leave in the "ninja" solution.

 

[Godhead]

I came. I'm not really sure if anything else is even needed to say. However so I don't get banned or suspended or whatever the benevolent mods do. I think this game will be worth the wait.
