For some wierd reason seeing an RT button prompt in a Portal game really pisses me off.
I guess that's what they call platform fanboism.
Even tho I know it's silly.

Every game should have a hug button. Devs all over the world should have learned that after A Boy and his Blob.

The concern to have is that they "dumbed" down the game to deal with controllers, however I haven't seen any evidence of that yet.  I wonder if consoles will get aim assist?

There isn't much to aim at (as in moving targets), unless they want to gently adjust your aim when you're pointing at a surface that needs a portal on it, which would be kind of weird.

As far as I can tell, this game will work totally fine with a controller. Hell, when I wanted to chill back, I even played some portal on the PC with a 360 controller. *GASP*

@wolf_blitzer85:  Prepare to have your mind blown: I can only play Portal with a 360 controller. I can speedrun that game with it. With a mouse, I go totally crazy and get out of control.

I played Portal first on the 360 (I own it on both that and Steam) and I never had any trouble with it. I think that the only people who have trouble aiming accurately with a controller are people who aren't accustomed to aiming with a controller. For those who are used to it, it's not an issue. Portal was fine; Portal 2 will be fine.

This looks like an awesome game in so many ways but what really hit in me in this video is just how spectacular some of the environments look.

Oh god. The idea of having two people running through a Portal environment, trying to solve puzzles, did seem exciting to me. My brain completely neglected the fact that two players means two portal guns means four active portals at any given time... That... has potential to become unbelievably complicated... I love it!

Dude yes. Portal 2 looks amazing from a pure visual standpoint. Best-looking Valve game to date by a mile.
