I've worked on a game with physics changing similar to that, and I must say, it's not as much the sickness from awkward motion that gets you, it's the difficulty of the brain interpreting direction once it's trying to think on an "incorrect" plane. Especially once it gets to the walls (since ceilings are just upside-down). It's incredibly disorienting, and working it in with portals would just destroy all sense of direction...in a bad way.
Shame. Like the diversity chutes vs turrets puzzles, this would've been a welcome addition, something that requires some different skills (dexterity, true 3d spatial thinking). I respect them for removing these bits from the core game -- that's a very responsible response to accessibility needs -- but think they'd still make nice DLC additions, or would've made for nice optional branching paths to some of the hidden/achievement locales.
Dammit, Valve! What's with you and Portal 2's director commentary? You never even mentioned this. I was pretty disappointed with the commentary, as there would sometimes be several chambers at a time with no nodes at all. There were definitely places you could have put them. You didn't even mention anything about light bridges, lasers, and elevators in terms of technical problems and the reasons for their creation. Great game, but I wanted to learn more about it. The director commentary is something I'd like to see in more video games.
No, one of the original TAG: The Power of Paint devs talks about how they didn't include this gel.SFR said:
they could always put this into advanced chambers and give it to us later like portal 1 so I'm just waiting for that to happen
hurry up valve, hurry up

I am SO glad it's not just me who suffers from this (though it's never been quite so bad as it was - and still is - with Doom). I will have to show my brother this article as he swears I'm the only one who suffers it...
Shame though, to have to cut something like that for everyone. Maybe it can be restored in a DLC side-mission?

Tag is nice. Only annoying thing is then when you walk on a wall the camera moves along. Thats what gets me sick. But you cant turn it off sadly enough
If you just could turn that off so when you switch to another wall then it would be fine I guess

It is interesting how many people here who are insensitive to those who do experience pronounced disorientation and motion sickness from a game. Frankly this kind of attitude doesn't belong in anyone's psyche. How many of you might have a friend or family member who might get dizzy or sick from certain games? Are you so willing to just tell them not to bother? Why should they be playing games at all if it makes them ill? Hell let's just keep games for certain people, screw the rest.
Hell no. Gaming should be for everyone with the desire and freetime to do so. I applaud Valve for making considerations like these. It says a lot more about Valve than it does for every movie studio with a hardon for 3D that those who get motion sickness and dizziness from that experience have less of an experience. Add that to the fact that most likely a 2D version wouldn't be available in the area.
Portal 2 came out just right in my opinion, and there is plenty of opportunity to experience new challenges when the SDK comes out and custom content is made. We have only touched the tip of the iceberg with the three gels. It will be up to us to really seize advantage of what they can offer.

Hmmm... could have been an interesting mechanic. I know for one that I wouldn't have gotten motion sickness, I play to well as a Xenomorph on AVP to feel that anymore.

Holy crap indeed, but once you got it down, you were a speeding bullet, and a really fun one to play as.Abedeus said:

Frankly I think wall walking gel would not add anything new.
Already there are plenty, if not too many means to reach a particular surface other then walking.
It would just be an overkill, with potential to alienate some of the base.
And I think one of Portal 2 fortes is uniting so many different profile gamers.

It's funny for me because Valve games ALWAYS give me a headache. It's the strangest thing ever. There isn't a single other developer or game that can give me a migraine, but anything from Valve (except TF2) absolutely decimates my poor head.
It makes playing their games a fucking difficult task.
