Portal (but mostly Portal 2)

[Jindo]

Ah well that's pretty neat!

 

[sqrage]

Interesting. They used to hate the PS3 and now they're favouring it?

 

[Vellu]

If I remember correctly, Gabe (or someone other from Valve) has said that PS3 is a very hard platform for coding and porting games for, but either they've hired some PS3-gearheads or they just want to get some money by bringing Steamworks into PSN. It has a lot of potential, you know - I mean at least I like it, because all my friends prefer consoles over PC's on the gaming side, but now we can play the same game on our favourite platforms.

Apparently, this countdown is for the early release date (I don't know if anyone's been followed all the hype about the ARG but one of the things it spawned was a clue hinting at an early release of Portal 2), we'll see though.

 

[Vellu]

Damnit Valve! Give me the game already!

 

[Vellu]

It's happening guise. About ten hours or so and we will be playing Portal 2!

 

[Renendaru]

Speculation is saying the "Starch-based power cells" will speed it up a lot, making the release in mere hours, maybe. Who knows.

Once Portal 2 is out, please share a bit with us.

 

[Monsterous]

*downloads from steam*

I played it alll last night, up until about 4 AM. Started around 11:30, Central time that is.

The game has so many unexpected twists, and so far it is AMAZING. I think I'm close to being done, but no idea.

 

[Jindo]

I shamelessly spent most of yesterday playing it, I've completed it and it is a fantastic game.

Going to give co-op a try another time.

My god this game is amazing. I'm at Chapter 6 I think. How many are there?

 

[trb92]

Beat the single player campaign this morning, it is awesome. Can't wait to find someone that I can play the co-op with, but unfortunately noone I know on steam has been playing it.

>How many are there?
There are 9 chapters, IIRC.

I hope they release packs of more single player puzzles. I felt like I could have been challenged with so much more!

Coop is fun. I like killing my friends over and over.

 

[Jindo]

Yeah I was hoping for some kind of challenge pack, like the advanced maps in the first game. Hoping they add those in eventually!

So how bout the part where it ties in with the Half Life series? :|

In both games, Black Mesa is mentioned as a competing research company. Dur.

HL was around Black Mesa, not a rival company.

Portal 2 DLC incoming in this summer!
