Quick Look: Road Show: Portal 2

Wolpaw's Law.

" Oh hey, its the sequel to the game that should have never, ever have a sequel.

I really, really want this franchise to die. The first was a cute little distraction in The Orange Box but it doesn't deserve half the praise it gets.

"

Gotta be Strong.... to keep my rule of not watching QL of games that I want to play , I did it for the Red Dead Redemption and Persona 3 Portable QL!! I can do this no problem... just don´t make treads about it

I wish they showed more. It looks great.

I tried just listening to the audio, but I couldn't help taking a peek or two.  SO EXCITED FOR THIS

Nice! i still have my Machintosh Classic

Video stops halfway through.

So, when does the twist that Cave is actually Gordon Freeman get released?

I have a strange feeling this will be a lot longer than 4 or 5 hours.

I want to play this, but my computer hates Valve games for some reason and I can't play them any more. Every source game glitches out and the textures keep disappearing and I keep getting weird graphical problems that happen when cards over heat. It's just with source games though, which is what confuzzles me.

F***ING JAY!!!  SCREW JAY!!!!  STOP TALKING JAY!!!!

Ryan has a question, when are you going to say something about HL3? jking........

Portal 2 I'm into also. i'll be mature and not bring it up like ppl. do the endurance run.... I'll wait for my next post at least.

I think this is the first QL Road Show where they don't try and sell you the game with a back of the box check list.

I'm making a note here, huge success

The Source Engine looks smoother. Xbox 360 version shown, that was interesting. I was curious of any new tech for the Source Engine, but didn't see anything ground breaking. Looked good.

They're playing the consoleversion? Why Valve!? WHY!?

That is one beautifully rendered game, for being a 360 one. Source is an amazing engine, shame nobody uses it but Valve.

I refuse to watch this, and that's rare.  Gonna experience it myself.

" @tourgen:  Don't bother with him.  MysteriousBob's MO is popping into a thread to post a single troll comment before darting out. "

" @p_p_o_d: What? Steam says 19th for me here in Ireland... "

I don't want a damn single insignificant thing spoiled for me about Portal 2 so I can't watch this until the game is out and I'm way deep in to it and stuff.   Hopefully the current rumor/speculation is true and its releasing tomorrow-day-after-ish and not next week.

Lost me at "360 version".

"We're playing the Xbox 360 version."

Source Engine still looks good!

it looks good. co-op seems better than what i was expecting. can't wait to buy this.

" "We're playing the Xbox 360 version."

I laughed. I wonder if Ryan demanded it.

SO there's only 22 singleplayer levels...

My memory sucks. They could beat the whole game and I still wouldn't remember a damn thing...

God dammit, I was set to pass on this one because the trailer broke my brain, but after I watched this I went straight to amazon.

I WANT

yep, definitely with you on this one. I got mad love for the Portal franchise.  "

Must...Resist...All...Portal 2 Spoilers!!!

" Inverted controls! Hell yeah!!!

Weak genes my ass, inverted players are obviously the superior breed!

"

Even though Jay played through puzzles incredibly fast, I like what I see. ;)

Jesus plays inverted.

Jay's stopping every 5 seconds and looking around.

Is it April 19th yet?!

I'll be back in seven days to watch this.

Valve is the one developer who's products I ignore as much as possible until release. Had to listen in the shower so I wouldn't accidentally see anything...

I cannot comprehend why anyone would get the 360 version. It's completely gimped by the lack of Steam support.

Is it bad I'm really tempted to buy the PC and 360 version of this just so I can play co-op with more people?

"Again, I know I probably sound super uptight about this, but I just find it interesting how many people don't realize that Portal takes place in the same universe as Half-Life. "
