Portal 2 trailer
- TrevorBurnham 16y agoI approve of linking to this, but the URL is wrong. It should be http://youtube.com/watch?v=U5iM9YSs0Q8 http://youtube.com/watch?v=U5iM9YSs0Q8
- sliverstorm 16y agoPlease explain why? Both links work, both videos are identical.
- TrevorBurnham 16y agoI believe the link has been updated since I posted my comment. At the time, it took my iPad to the YouTube front page.
- techietim 16y agoI think that linking to the Valve posted video makes a little more sense to me. Either way it's the same video.
- TrevorBurnham 16y agoThe link was non-functional when I tried it, at least on my iPad. It works fine now.
- Mathnerd314 16y agoI hope it's longer than the first one.
- phsr 16y agoI was wondering how they were going to improve on the first game, but the clearly up'd the ante. The longer gameplay video had some very amazing looking puzzles with the different liquids (propulsion and repulsion)
- emeryc 16y agoDo you have a link to said video?
- tvon 16y agohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfAl48VREsA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfAl48VREsA It seems to take some cues from another game, the name of which I forget, where you could shoot different colored paint on surfaces to make them behave differently. [edit: fixed with correct link ]
- sp332 16y agoTag: The Power of Paint. https://www.digipen.edu/studentprojects/tag/ https://www.digipen.edu/studentprojects/tag/ It's from DigiPen, the same place that the original Narbacular Drop team was hired out of to do Portal! Edit: The Tag team has also been hired by Valve. http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/62689 http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/62689
- sirn 16y agoAlso this three-part videos: 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5THiN8szSKM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5THiN8szSKM 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq2mZoKkqMw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq2mZoKkqMw 3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGlyQmmvj0w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGlyQmmvj0w The first one contained a bit of spoilers though.
- fiaz 16y agoWhat made Portal such a great game is that it actually forces you to think. Most blockbuster games seem to follow a formula much like the formulas you might find in Hollywood blockbusters...they are still entertaining, but you really don't get that sense of "accomplishment" you get from playing something like Portal or Braid (an equally great game!!).
- vault_ 16y agoIf you're using Youtube's html5 beta(and are on a supporting browser) the video uses webm. That's the first I've seen it out in the wild.
- sp332 16y agoWhat made Portal compelling was the learning. And the pacing was slow, frankly, because it was teaching you to learn a new mechanic and think in a new way. I'm not saying it has no replay value, but playing through a second time is so much easier that the jokes are most of the interest - the gameplay itself is no longer compelling. So the sequel will have to step up the pace and the difficulty, or introduce some new mechanics, or maybe both. I hope the rumors of Chell being a fleshed-out character aren't true. I liked how, in the first game, she was more of an avatar than a character. It wasn't like I was playing a character in a game, it felt I was playing the game. The character's goals aligned perfectly with mine - just get to the end of the level. I don't want to lose that feeling in Portal 2.
- jerf 16y agoPortal did have challenge maps which I for one found legitimate challenging. In agreement: One of the things I like about sequels, especially for things like Portal, is that they are much more able to just jump into the action. Portal 1 is in some sense the tutorial level. For a movie example, while the first Harry Potter was enjoyable, it spends almost the entire movie just setting up. The later ones I enjoyed much more because they were done setting up. Sequelitis is bad, but I think it's an error to mistake that for sequels being bad in general, though I freely concede I understand where the temptation to simplify that concept comes from.
- ComputerGuru 16y agoAnyone that enjoyed the Harry Potter movies clearly didn't read the books, and has no right to complain.
- Shorel 16y agoHonestly, my time is much better invested in the Discworld books.
- aikinai 16y agoBelow are some new gameplay videos, which showcase a wide variety of new game mechanics. Particularly the second two show a lot of new tricks they're going to be bringing to the sequel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5THiN8szSKM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5THiN8szSKM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq2mZoKkqMw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq2mZoKkqMw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGlyQmmvj0w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGlyQmmvj0w Also, I'm really looking forward to the coop campaign.
- ekanes 16y agoApropos of Portal, but unrelated to the release of Portal 2, this Youtube clip is one of my favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L-rrkyvApU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L-rrkyvApU
- kmfrk 16y agoWhat happened to terminal velocity?
- qwzybug 16y agoI heard a rumor that there's going to be cake in Portal 2.
- TrevorBramble 16y agoThat is a lie.

- moolave 16y agoSince portal does a lot of mental stretching on spatial aptitude sandbox environment, this game could be a breakthrough test for school exams / exercises.
- DLWormwood 16y agoI admit I didn’t like parts of the first game as much as I’d hoped, but after playing the commentary and enjoying the “escape sequence,” I’m looking forward to the sequel. I just hope that the developers’ lessons learned designing that last level will carry through to the new game. The last couple of test chambers sucked due to not separating complex puzzles from the timed ones.
- Tichy 16y agoDefinitely will play that one. It seems it is hard to capture on video what made the game so great, though. Also, am I the only one who finds sequels depressing? There rarely is a point in beating the enemy in a game anymore, because they will ALWAYS be back.
