Portal 2 [SPOILERS]

Archive: 287 posts

http://gyazo.com/43e5a2fa8ec201733ccc9bfd7e718787.png

Couldn't find a topic dedicated to portal 2 (only a general one which was pretty dead anyway) so.

General info

- Portal 2 currently has a release date for April 2011 on steam, American retail on the 20th, and European retail on the 22nd.
- Portal 2 is a full game compared to the original, there is apparently 4 times the content.
- Has separate Single-player and co-op multiplayer campaigns. The co-op takes place after the singleplayer, and involves 2 more portals, for more people scratching their heads simultaneously.
- Valve has said that the game will not try to strengthen bonds with HL2, however one of the achievements references the Borealis, which may in turn reference the Half life story.
- Portal 2 appears to be on a heavily upgraded source engine, one that certainly looks a lot nicer than the previous one.
- Many new testing objects have been added, such as Faith Plates, launching you high into the air, and Gels, which let you move faster and bounce around.
- You can preorder Portal 2 now from GameStop, Amazon and over Steam.

I'm so excited for this game!

Though I agree with grayspence, there had better be cake this time around.

Also, according to Gamestop (U.S.) and a blog post (http://www.thinkwithportals.com/blog.php) on the official site, the North American release date is April 19th. 		2011-03-23 09:26:00

Let's not forget the PS3 and PC versions can play coop with eachother, which is awesome. Also, if you buy the PS3 version, you get the PC version free!

And anyone on PC who loves Portal, I suggest downloading the Mod Portal Prelude. It's a great take on the events before Portal 1, and from what Glados has told us it's a pretty accurate take too. Well worth playing, but be warned it is harder!
http://www.portalprelude.com/
Click download in top right, then once done run the .exe file and it does it all for you. All you need to do then is restart steam. Done! Enjoy I did 		2011-03-23 15:06:00

Seeing as I'm ordering my PC on the 6th and it should arrive around the 10th, this'll be the first PC game I actually pre-purchase on Steam lol.

Looks awesome, and I love the new trailer lol.		2011-03-27 18:21:00

I played a little bit of the first Portal and it was pretty fun. I probably rent Orange Box and play through the whole thing before the second one comes out. Then I will no longer feel left out when people say "The Cake is a Lie".2011-03-28 10:52:00

I got Portal free on Steam a while back when I downloaded it on my mac, they gave it away free. My mac actually couldn't run it properly though, so I'm gonna play it properly this week (with all the other games I bought but couldn't play properly - I'm looking at you Team Fortress 2 and Company Of Heroes...)2011-04-05 21:58:00

Was watching Gametrailer's Brink preview video thing, and there was an advertisement for Portal 2.
Apparently you get some custom skin for co-op when you preorder at GameStop.
As an Amazon fan, I am not amused.		2011-04-11 02:34:00

Portal 2 for PlayStation 3 is the first title to support Steam on a console. Specifically, that means it offers cross-platform matchmaking, gameplay, friends, chat, and achievements, all powered by Steam. Steam on the PS3 also saves co-op game progress and single player saved games to the Steam Cloud, enabling players to pick up where they left off on any PlayStation 3.

Steam makes its appearance on the PS3 as an overlay within Portal 2. Here, the Steam overlay provides access to Steam Friends, displaying their in-game or online status and providing a quick pathway to text chats, player profiles, friend requests, and game invites. Steam Achievements are earned in lockstep with PSN Trophies and are also accessible within the Steam overlay.

Steam on the PS3 provides access to all of these features once the player has linked their PlayStation Network account with a Steam account, which is done right within the game. A Steam user can login to an existing account, and anyone new to Steam can create an account with the click of a button.

With all these features, Portal 2 on the PS3 is the best console version of the game, just as it was suggested it would be back at E3 last year. If you’re still hungry for more details, head over to steampowered.com and learn more about Portal 2 for PS3.

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5477-WPJM-9388


Note:

Steam achievements are earned in lockstep with PSN Trophies: earning a PSN Trophy while logged in to a Steam account will award you the corresponding Steam Achievement once you have linked your PSN and Steam accounts. Achievements earned on a PC do not unlock PSN Trophies.		2011-04-13 20:19:00

Dear god make it so.
Dunno if you were planning on getting it for the PC, but I'd like to point out that the early release would only be off of steam, so no early PS3 release.

Personally, I'm going to wait a bit, knowing Valve Portal 2 will be half off in a month, like they did with L4D2.		2011-04-14 21:31:00

I pre-ordered it yesterday at Gamestope. There is going to be a midnight launch but I don't think getting up in the middle of the night and drving down to Gamestop is worth the opportunity to play Portal 2 for a few hours longer*.
Heck, If I sleep through it and go get it Tuesday morning, its not like I'll notice the time difference; might as well wait 'till tomorrow**.

*When you think about it, if you get the game at 10 am Tuesday, play all day, then go to bed at midnight on Wednesday, then you get the same amount of playtime you'd get if you got it at midnight Tuesday, then fall alseep at ten am that day. Now you're thinking with equals.
**Of course, the bada**ery of getting a video game at midnight and having it before [most of] everyone else is usually a reward in itself. If bragging to others about how much cooler you are for getting stuff before them isn't your thing, you can always enjoy just how much more fun your fatigued state makes Portal 2 seem.		2011-04-18 21:13:00

Well, the PC version is 5 hours away, and that'll probably go down by 2 hours.

Also, anyone else notice that Glados is eating all the potatoes? They are SLOWLY going down (waaay too slow.) Hopefully that after she eats them all, the game just releases or something.		2011-04-19 01:48:00

*Just bought the game.*

I don't know why everybody's making a big deal our of this.

*Inserts disc into PS3.*

I mean, it's just a game. Sure, the last one was good, but I doubt that-

*One level later....*

^^^^^^

and they claim to never do that XD enough with the MLP :/

SO ive been naughty and started watching LP videos by TotalBiscuit and BlueXephos, my two favorite channels! The quality of this game is amazing and the new additions not only make a great game 100x better, but also keep on par with the original feel and humor. I will more than likely pick it up sometime this week as I am on spring break.

One minor dislike: the overpriced, useless, DLC! Most of the things in there should just be a standard paint job option :/ Idk if I heard this right but when TB was looking at it he said the complete package would cost twice as much as the game itself :o		2011-04-19 23:17:00

Oh please, don't start overreacting, one pic that fits the scenario isn't gonna kill anyone (inb4 joke of someone dying over it...) its just as good/ bad as posting any other reaction image of whatever else...

Well anywho, I'm still hoping to get this game soon, I saw a short video of mid-way through, and it looked awesome! 		2011-04-20 02:47:00

Co-op is really good,
Tbh the best part of Portal is GLaDOS.

And considering the fact that...
she's a potato and impaled on your portal gun for most of the game...
makes her so much better.

All I did was point out a bit of hypocrisy, hardly an overreaction. If choosing another image would've been just as good/bad then why don't they?
Because they know it bugs people :/ ...is all I'm trying to say

I finished watching a walkthrough of it on Youtube, since I can't get the actual game, and woooow. I think that's one of my favorite games now, regardless of the fact that I didn't even play it lmao
That ending was just...wow, man. And not to mention the credits song. I was rofling throughout 75% of the game, I absolutely love Portal's humor.
Awesome, awesome game.

Okay, so...GLaDOS is Caroline, correct?

Yep. Cave was going to use his brain as the central AI thingy, but then he died from the moon rock poisoning, and so he passed on the task to Caroline. Thus, Caroline becomes Glados.		2011-04-21 05:28:00

anybody knows if buying the portal version netting you the steam version for free is a limited time thing they did for it? or is that gonna be for every new copy they keep making?

Completed SP a few times now, and also completed coop last night. Overall, great game. A little expensive due to the lack of replay value (then again I got it for free cause valve gave me a free copy along with the complete valve collection), but I enjoyed it. Just wish the maps were a bit harder. I mean, look at these maps:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pcf99_DZZew

Particularly the ones at the end of that video. barely any of those are in the game! It really disappoints me that they took out the harder maps :/ There aren't many times where you have to use fast reflexes like at 1:04 in the vid. Oh well, here's hoping they patch in challenge maps.		2011-04-21 14:03:00

"Go make some new disaster."

I don't know. This game has a lot of quotes ("-- or put me in a potato --"), but I think more likely certain elements of the game (THE POTATO, for instance) will become memes.


I beat the main story Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning. I beat co-op Wednesday night.
I have yet to play the first Portal, but Portal 2 was a great game. The dialog was hilarious, and the ending was great.		2011-04-21 17:06:00

no doubt that valve will add more (and possibly the harder) maps later on, and I also hope that in a few years valve pumps out an update so that the borealis is actually at the drydock, and possibly open for exploration? and when you're at the wheat field at the end, combine dropships are flying over...basically linking the half life and portal universe, creating a new ARG for the next HL installment

about the PC version in the PS3 one: this is not a code whatsoever, you have to link your PSN ID to your steam ID by going to the steam overlay on the PS3 version and doing some stuff.


and what do you guys think, should I add a list to the OP of our steam ID's?


also, no meme?

Yup! If you look through the valve videos theres plenty of awesome ideas they didnt use. They fully cut out the suction tubes too which had a video dedicated to it. Honestly, I think I'm a little disappointed with the game purely because I thought the tests were going to be a bit more interesting. Don't get me wrong, they were great, but the videos made me expect more Seriously hoping for challenge maps.		2011-04-21 21:17:00

I'm pretty sure it was a wheat field

Anyways, if you beat the first game, when you pop out of the place, you are in a parking lot in the middle of a forest, so Aperture spreads out much further than just that field.

Valve hasn't created that page. ValveARG.com did, it's their way (and ours) of saying thankyou. And quite frankly, I should probably say thanks too! Because I got all 36 potatoes (so also the golden potato), they gave me the Valve Complete Pack, and Portal 2 for free! Ofcourse I had most of the games, including Portal 2 as I pre-ordered it, but every game I already had I could gift. So I sold Portal 2 and made my money back, essentially getting it for free On top of that, I've got a ton of spare games still. Well had, I've sold most for TF2 items lol. Only have Portal 1 and L4D2 left to gift.		2011-04-23 13:22:00

I've watched my older brother complete Portal 2, and I'm almost there as well. This morning he pointed something out to me... in the Barclay adverts that ocasionally appear on TV here in the UK... the Narrator sounds like Wheatley's voice!! The first two videos show two of these adverts, and the third is a rather spoiler-full bit from Portal 2.

This isn't my footage, by the way. Mainly, just listen to Wheatley's voice and compare him with the Narrator from those two adverts. Also, skip to the very end (to the end of the credits, around 11:55 mark) to hear more from Wheatley.		2011-04-23 17:20:00

Oh my god, that was amazing! Finished the game yesterday. Want You Gone was an amazing song and the whole ending of the game was just amazing. It's good that they made it satisfying enough. Now I hope PSN comes back online soon so I can start the co-op mode...

Also, Caroline is the mother of Chell.

I loved Cave Johnson's quotes, I think they're the funniest.

Can't remember any, but he refers the test subjects as people off the street. I think one was "You can sit in the waiting room. It's more comfy than a bench on the street."
Or something like that. 		2011-04-23 20:02:00

I like the one was where he was talking about Asbestos, and was saying something about age, then went: "When I punch those numbers into my calculator it makes a happy face." loled so hard.		2011-04-23 20:42:00

So I was playing through the game again, and I noticed that the turret that you save on the conveyor belt that says, "I'm different" will eventually say, "Her name is Caroline". Hints here existance early before you know about Cave Johnson. Thought it was interesting.

I think I'll put everything in spoilers here, just in case...

I just finished Portal 2, it's 5:30 AM and the sun is rising... oh well, totally worth it!
My expectations weren't really too high, I expected more testing chambers with new puzzle elements as seen in videos (the gels and other stuff) and thought it would just be a pretty hard puzzle game... I was wrong. Very wrong. That has to be one of the best single-player experiences I've had. I was already impressed at the beginning but the part that really blew me away and made me want to just continue playing was when Wheatley entered the testing chamber talking in an accent that GLaDOS "couldn't" understand and then the escape after that.
I seem to have been lucky as no one managed to spoil anything for me, except for the fact that wheatley "dies" but then actually isn't dead... at the part when GLaDOS wakes up... so that didn't matter once I got through it

One thing I asked myself many times was "How big is this place, really?" Because that place is just... HUGE!
I liked the "old facility" with the background story and that stuff, really interesting actually.
Then the ending part... WOW! The ending cutscene almost had me crying at how beautiful it was, especially when the companion cube was thrown out! <3

I can't wait to try co-op, it should be interesting.

Oh btw, what are the chances for this to happen: When randomly shooting a portal on the moon, it lands near a moonlanding site...		2011-04-24 03:40:00

I especially like the Prometheus quote Great foreshadowing from the all knowing "different" turret

I finished this last night, played through in one sitting I couldn't get myself to stop! Anyway, I found the old 1950-1980 facility run to be pretty creepy, maybe its just because your running a creeky old course where many have died, and listening to the recordings of a dead man But after all of that, Caroline's part in plot seemed a bit vague. I understand she was put in charge after caves death and both of them were supposed to be "poured in to a computer" but it leaves a lot to be questioned. How did GLaDOS know Cave? More importantly how come she responded to Cave exactly like Caroline? That lead me to believe that GLaDOS was Caroline or something along the lines of that. In the end we find out Caroline did make it in to some sort of "core" and GLaDOS uses it balance herself out or make herself more human....then uh...deletes her XD. Wondering why Caroline wasn't put in charge since she DID make it to a sort of immortality.		2011-04-24 19:23:00

Glados IS Caroline. Cave was going to have his brain or w/e put into the AI, but then he died and passed it onto his secretary, who was Caroline. So they used Caroline instead, and so Glados became her.		2011-04-24 19:45:00

But if she is Caroline then how come she didn't know that she is Caroline? When she first heard her voice she said it was familiar but didn't recognize it as her own. Does she have robot amnesia?

Oh ..just read this on the wiki...sort of helps.

Chell also discovers that GLaDOS's intelligence derives from Cave's personal assistant Caroline (McLain), who was a test subject for a mind-to-computer transfer system; some point after this process, a dying Johnson placed her in charge of Aperture.

After being glados for god knows how long, maybe its something that slowly got erased from her memory. Maybe on purpose, or maybe from the transfer process. Those morality modules certainly didn't do her a world of good

I honestly really like the way they executed the plotline. It didn't exactly point on to what exactly happened, but gave you enough to figure things out.


GladDOS is most definitely Caroline entirely. I think Caroline wanted to live forever and run the place, so Cave Johnson incorporated her into GladDOS. But that's just my thoughts.

Out of the blue.. I was wondering how or even if they are going to make Portal 3. They obviously can't bring Chell back, would it be another character 		2011-04-25 03:23:00

Yea, the ending was very clear. GLaDOS is now happy with her robots and finds humans to be too much trouble. What does the future hold for Aperture Labs though? Maybe GLaDOS will invent some more fun game play elements in a DLC pack? Here's hoping

Uhm...wondering what she has planned for the animal king though Maybe he will take over! More than likely though, he and his turret orchestra will go on tour! I should reserve tickets right now brb.		2011-04-25 03:35:00

Caroline was used to create Glados' AI as she was passed on the task from Cave, who died before he could. She was just listening to instructions.

Also, there's a good chance that Chell WILL be back, either in another Portal, or in the Half Life series, as, "It has been stated by Gabe Newell in an October 2007 interview that Chell has importance in the overall Half-Life universe, and will eventually have a fairly significant relationship with some of the other characters that we are already familiar with."		2011-04-25 04:03:00

to be honest, I hope they don't make another portal.
they've wrapped it up nicely, and considering Gordon and Alyx are most likely going to the Borealis in ep3, no doubt they'll visit Aperture science (since that's where it was made, obviously) I'd rather have that/

If there will be a Portal 3, I hope and believe it will be set in the past and contain more human characters and interaction with them. It would be awesome to maybe play during Bring Your Daughter To Work Day when GLaDOS killed everyone. The protagonist would have to be someone else as Chell, but we pretty surely would see Chell around and get more information about her story. OR if it was set after the events of Portal 2, VALVe would have to make some crazy reason for her to return to Aperture.2011-04-25 10:25:00

http://uk.comics.ign.com/articles/116/1161043p1.html

2-part comic explaining why Chell is back at AS after she escaped in the 1st game, why she suddenly awoke so much time later, and why she's the only survivor.

Also shows a bit of what happened in the events a tad before Portal 1, so kinda ties loose ends.
(So the idea for a game before and/ or in-between the 2 games is kinda pointelss now, since all that is explained here....)

Still, What seems best is they make a side story, involving Portals of course, but some other character other than Chell, making too many stories of a story that's all wrapped up, usually ruins it, making a new story with the same elements as its predecesors tends to go best in these kinda situations, imo. 		2011-04-25 12:55:00

A bit late to the party there That was released a bit before the game released so people could more easily bridge the gap and explain a few important bits. It was posted in the Hype thread so I assume most have already seen it. Oh and the potato thing was posted a bit back, If you look at the top left corner of it it shows her removing the potato from a box with "Daddy's stuff" written on it. So it seems her father was a scientist and her mother must have worked there too.		2011-04-25 20:48:00

When I heard about this game, it was about 2 weeks ago, I played the first and didn't think there was going to be a sequel, but there was!

Oh, but remember, there are still mods to look forward to!
I was reading on Steam, and they said PC mods would be available for teh PS3 to play as well, you won't be able to make them on PS3, of course, but the ones that are made on PC will be available on PS3.

You mean where they develop the turrets and they're throwing away the "defective ones"?
Just grab one of the defective ones and put it in that place the "Model" turret was.

If not, please try to specify further where "the bit with the turrets," is. 		2011-04-27 10:16:00

Once you dispose of the turrets, which is simple enough, look through the gaps between the panels that form the make shift walls for a portal surface, shoot it and put a corresponding portal on the white wall inside the chamber.		2011-04-27 22:45:00

The DLC is free

good to hear....wondering if all the DLC will be free....since they did say that PS3 could play the PC mods made for the steam version IIRC (someone pull up a link) so yeah anybody post any mods yet? haven't got this game yet but when I do I look foward to mods galore...hope some will be as creative as the ones for Unreal Tournament 3		2011-04-29 21:56:00

Challenge mode, huh?
I call them placing those difficult looking chambers they used in previews but didn't make it to full game!

Seems like quite some content to last a while, and I was kinda surprised there was no challenge mode, like in the 1st game, I guess they just didn't have time to implement all these things by release.

I mean, it IS quite possible this was meant to be in-game from release but didn't have time, and since they didn't want to delay the game, tehy're setting it as DLC, would also kinda explain why its free.


Is it bad to think "The Part Where He Kills You Is..." is meme-worthy?

Naw, it has the potential to become a meme, tho that depends what's done with it and how its used.
I mean, Space Core was bound to become meme from the first time someone saw it, and ther it is.
Sadly, it MAY overshadow other meme-worthy things in the game as well.

Anywho, al this playing portal brought me to find quite some interdasting things, broken a few levels, found an area that can potentially break your playthrough/ make it impossible to continue, found a few unconventional ways to finish certain levels, and a few bugs and glitches here and there, sucks PSN's still down tho, since I can't play it on steam to get some pics yet.		2011-05-05 05:56:00

Ooooooooooooooo I enjoyed Portal very much indeed. I didn't find it all that challenging though. I love it when GLaDOS is put onto the potato battery. Yay for emotional outbursts!! 2011-05-05 12:26:00

Beat story mode, Absolutely fantastic ending.
The turret choir was a fantastic way to say goodbye to portal. Made me a little sad that we may never see Apeture Laboratories ever again! D:
I loved the humor, and the voice acting was a good as ever! I rented this for Xbox because thats the only version the had available to rent, and I loved the console version just as much as playing the original on the PC.

I plan on playing through co-operative when my friend comes over on the weekend. (2 Week rental FTW!)
Deffineatly 10/10, and Its now my favourite game of all time.		2011-05-12 23:23:00

"Nobody tried to kill me, Or put me in a potato, or feed me to birds.."

I thought she could change.

She did. Well, sort of anyway. Right before she says that she deletes all memories or data of Caroline, which made her kind and your friend, and returned to her normal, sarcastic atitude. Although, Some believe she faked it for pride, because in the song at the end, one of the lines is:
"Now little Caroline is in here too."
Oh, and one of my favourite GlaDOS lines in the game is: "Well, How are you holding up? Because Im a potato..."		2011-05-14 17:49:00

Found this on youtube today whilst attempting to satisfy my endless thirst for more Portal (I finished the game, and am both content with the end, but also yearning for more..)
It's an Atlas and P-body Speedpaint that was made in roughly 6 hours straight- pretty impressive, in my opinion. :

The artist is named Gary McAllister ans you can find more of his lovely work here. (http://xric.deviantart.com/)

I've also found some other very nice Portal art while searching DeviantArt:

On a side note: I'm glad to hear that Chell will be directly involved with Half-life sometime in the (likely far off) future; I always knew the Portal and Half-life stories took place in the same game universe, but I wasn't sure if they'd ever really meet up and become intertwined in any way.		2011-05-24 20:30:00

Man, why haven't I discovered the awesomeness of this song earlier? It nearly made me cry. I've been listening to it the whole day.
It's found in a Doug Rattman den in the early GLaDOS test chambers. Seems like it was one of the few touches to the surface for Doug and he stayed there listening to it for a long time. And it's still playing on a radio when Chell finds it.

Just nearly deafened myself searching for Ratman dens.

If you go into the one with the large fan overhead casting shadows into the den during developer commentary mode, the commentary is in the form of a coded audio message that should not be played when your tv is on higher volume than usual!!		2011-05-27 08:48:00
