Portal

Post by **deject** » July 18th, 2006, 18:20

Portal will be shipped with HL2: Episode 2, so everyone must get it. Basically take the portal idea from Prey, add in a "portal gun" and introduce bizarre puzzles. There's a trailer up on Gamespot, but I'm downloading the HD version and I'll have it uploaded by this evening.

Looks very interesting and I like the visual style, might make my brain explode though.

oooh, this is how prey should've been, not that prey was bad but this would've made it better.

I think that was precisely the makers' intention.

It makes the gravity gun look like a year 7 science project.

I like the way objects seem to keep their momentum when exiting a portal, but immediately become subject to the (new) gravity. I look forward to accelerating objects to high speed by placing portals above and below them, then setting a new exit portal to shoot them across the room.

Not really a patch on Portal, although has some interest.

Certainly interesting, I'll have to try that. A video from the thread: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 3800764468
