This has completely boosted my excitement for Portal from 0 to like...a lot more than 0.

I'm sure they will. TF2 has universal multiplayer between platforms. "

Really? I didn't know that. That's great to hear!

Very excited for this.  Valve doesn't release things unless they are polished to a blizzard like sheen of awesomeness.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the purpose of the gestures are. There has to be some deeper reason for waves, hugs and whatever else they've got, something more than just the illusion of interaction.

Hoo boy. You know what I ended up thinking near the end of this video? Someone's gonna make a female model for each bot: and one may be the Companion Cube. Unless Valve already did that.
 
There. I cursed it. Hug me now.

In the first Portal there where some puzzles that required fast and precise portal placement, and wondering if a controller would work in those cases well. "
I completed portal on the PC and the 360, and while the keyboard and mouse is easier it's not impossible to use a controller by any means. I don't think it needs dumbing down.

Can't wait for this! I'd prefer to play this on my mac, but with the coop I'll probably have to go for the 360 version if I want to have anyone to play it with.

  • Single Player: I buy
  • Co-op with Puzzle Elements: ? Ever played a puzzly game, where one of two players always stole the puzzle parts and nags you to hurry up? A friend? Now imagine your friends having no time to play with you or wanting to rush for achievement points. And NOW imagine complete strangers playing Co-op doing the same... - that's not my game. I bet it's fun, though ...
