Kenogu Labz Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 IIRC, they said it wouldn't tie into the Half Life plot. Co-op is supposed to be just as long as singleplayer, and both are supposed to be longer than Portal. No idea about an endgame song.Initial sketches showed Chell in another jumpsuit, but this image shows her being a lot more fanservicey. Not sure which one is going to be in the final product. Lara Croft? What's she doing here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global-Trance Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 If you've been following the Portal 2 Alternate Reality Game that has been going on for quite some time, you guys might have seen that this game might have a surprise early release tomorrow. A lot of signs point to it from the subtle to the not-so-subtle. One of the clues left behind in the Portal 2 Alternate Reality Game is "4/19/2011_7AM=4/15/2011_9AM." which is Portal 2's original release date = Tomorrow. This also coincides with a recently revealed countdown timer: http://www.aperturescience.com/a/b/c/d/g/h/abcdgh/ Also people on Steam who have already pre-loaded Portal 2 might have noticed that they had already downloaded a 292 MB Portal 2 Update. We'll see tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global-Trance Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I actually haven't been actively participating in all this potato madness. Didn't really have the time. I know what you're talking about though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 75k+ people need to buy/play the potato pack to release the game early :U Nice exposure to the indies, but still. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yeah, I'm really starting to get fed up with this whole Potato thing. Like, what about those of us who really really want to play Portal 2, but don't really give a crap about the games in that pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, what about those of us who really really want to play Portal 2, but don't really give a crap about the games in that pack? a duh, then you wait until the day that it's supposed to be released? What about those of us who pre-ordered a PS3 copy so we'd get it on PC and console? HUH? WHAT ABOUT US? Seriously getting upset because a developer won't release a game before it's release date is the stupid reason to get upset that I've ever heard. Next thing you know, people will be asking for Duke Nukem Forever a month early! Edit: I did take this time to finally buy Super Meat Boy, only to remember my PC is dead until I get my replacement processor in. WOMP WAH.

Powerlord Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 This is a repost of a post I made elsewhere, but still: As strange as it sounds, today's announcement from GLaDOS was that Portal 2 would be unlocked earlier based on the number of CPU hours clocked in the 13 games in the Steam potato pack. This means, by playing the PC version of any of these games, you help unlock Portal 2 on Steam early: 1... 2... 3... KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby) AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity Amnesia: The Dark Descent AudioSurf BIT.TRIP BEAT Cogs Defense Grid: The Awakening Killing Floor RUSH Super Meat Boy The Ball The Wonderful End of the World Toki Tori Currently, the charts show that Killing Floor is the game in most need of players, while The Wonderful End of the World is in least need. To that end, I have spun up both OCRTF2 Killing Floor servers. They are: kf.ocrtf2.com kf2.ocrtf2.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 uh they have the highest number of cpu's on killing floor I think it's most in need of people with potatoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Too bad CPU speed isn't directly related to GLaDOS@Home contributions. We could all get Sandy Bridge CPU's and overclock the hell out of them to jump start GLaDOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 * I am actually really avoiding news on this game, I want to avoid being hyped up due to the fact that I can't see how any sequel can be better or as good as the Original.And really, the co-op does seem a bit... hrm. I don't know many people on my friends list or in real life I would want to play this with for fear of stranglings that would take place during gameplay. Granted, I have been surprised by a sequel being better than an unstoppable original in the past. Toy Story 2, anyone? *Stole the words right out of my mouth. Although having new Portal Adventures sounds pretty cool. I hope the whole co-op thing doesn't mean the single player game is super short again and it relies on co-op to extend the length (and price) of the game.... Then again, it's kind of bizarre to imagine a Portal game longer than two hours. Eh who knows. Knowing my wallet and doubts I'll probably pick this up months later when it's cheaper and not hate it.

The Coop Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 It looks like it could be pretty fun, but $50 worth? I don't know. The original was pretty damn short, and it was noticeably cheaper. So unless this game's about twice as long (or longer), I'm going to have a hard time justifying that pricing point to my wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can buy a potato at the shop easily. EDIT: Sorry for double post. Truly sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each Portal 2 campaign (single player and coop) is supposed to be twice as long as the original. Also, it's only $45 for the Steam version if you preorder it.

Next thing you know, people will be asking for Duke Nukem Forever a month early! I don't think it's that stupid to get upset over the entire Potato Pack thing in the first place. It isn't just about the release date...I've felt like this whole concept was goofy from the start. Setting up this whole ARG phenomenon across a bunch of titles is little more than a way of bribing people who otherwise don't care about those games to snap them up, and those of us who chose not to were cut off from all parts of the ARG. Last time Valve did something like this, when they first announced Portal 2, they used updates to the original Portal...which, y'know, makes sense as a place that fans of Portal could look and participate. I know I'm not the only one who's felt like this whole Potato thing sucks for those of us who are really really excited about Portal 2, but may or may not care about a random assortment of indie games on Steam. Having that very same set of games now being used to determine the release date is kind of the last straw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonamer Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I hope Danny B is prepared for a flood of money for his work on SMB! Personally, I'll wait until I get home to play the game on the 360. But I am getting it, even at full price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
