While watching this I was getting flash backs of a TV show called Brainic with Richard Hammond.

Yeah, was gonna say this looked quite a lot like "Look Around You". Even had the correct type of narration and slightly shoddy filming.

Played through the demo at SXSW, and enjoyed the few scrub-level puzzles within pretty well. Interested to see if the different manipulation mechanics flow as seamlessly in the later stages as they do in Portal. Also, that game might have spoiled me, but I'm really hoping that story factors in in a major way.

The science juice looks very much like urine.  :/
 
Also, glad to see something about this game.  It's been too long since the last trailer.  Looking forward to the final product.

Well hello there, painfully unfunny "Look Around You" rip-off. :\ I would have liked more gameplay footage.

This game looks really fun and interesting. To be honest though ,I'm kinda glad Valve dropped this F Stop idea (although I don't know how much it's change since it began) for the current Version of Portal 2. I'm still getting this game though.

I've been waiting for this game since PAX East last year, but it keeps getting pushed back. It was originally slated for early 2012 (I think January), then it slipped to Spring, and now it's Summer. I don't believe it's coming out until we get a date.

Meh. It seems like an interesting concept, I'm just wondering how it will play.

And pie? Really? That's trying too hard.

Was that a 50 second empty lingering intro to a two minute video? Yes, yes it was. And I don't even have a magic physics glove to recover those precious seconds.

@TrueEnglishGent: Yes. Kim Swift, I believe. In that "Final Hours of Portal 2" app/article it mentioned that Portal 2 was going to have time manipulation elements to it. But Gabe didn't think it flowed well and it was scrapped and Kim Swift left to make this game.

All I got from that trailer was that the game has something of a "random pie lol" sense of humor and maybe puzzles where you do platforming in bullet time. Hmmm...
