Kim Swift Introduces the World to a Quantum Conundrum

man this was a real disappointment. I was hoping for some real exploration of mathematical spatial dimensions. maybe that was hoping for too much. But Portal 1.5 with bad art and textures... mistaking momentum and velocity .. bummer. Swapping out shader code while making some real-time changes to basic parameters of an off-the-shelf physics engine isn't all that interesting.

Nailed it. Seems Kim has run out of ideas.

If this is what running out of ideas is, then I wish everyone would run out of ideas too - particularly those that constantly churn out sequels, rereleases, reboots, remakes, spin-offs and licenced games.

This is Portal 1.5 with a cutesy art style. This is literally a Portal 1.5 'reboot' or spin off.

I don't understand what you mean by Portal 1.5. I can't see any similarities between this and Portal, other than the same designer and the same genre - and I know you're not stupid enough to avoid a game because you've played another game in the same genre before.

If you can't see any similarities between this and Portal good luck to you. :) Anyone else with half a brain definitely can.

Well, I may not be able to see much of a similarity between Portal and Quantum Conundrum, but I can certainly see the similarity between that comment and your other posts where you attempt to belittle others by constantly throwing pithy insults at everyone else.

I'm not belittling you and I wasn't the person who brought the question of intellect into this conversation. I know you're not stupid enough to try and edit quoted history.

What is up with the hate here? Looks like a really interesting puzzle game and it'll be great to see what they end up doing with the dimensions concepts. I don't see at all the "Portal 1.5" complaints unless you want to say that every first person puzzle game is a Portal rip-off.

And even if you did consider it Portal 1.5, is there something wrong with a new Portal game (from a creator of Portal no less) with new concepts and puzzle ideas?

Is there a meat dimension though?

The whole notion of a fluffy dimension amuses me. Games looks cutesy and yes certainly building upon Portal, but that's no bad thing.

gameplay seems fine, but I hope they address the fact that either:

1. The main character is 1 foot tall.

2. The level designers have no concept of scale.

This isnt very similar to portal at all.. The similarities really stop at laser switches.

Looks great though, will be interested to see more.

Makes me go "meh?"
