Portal

[BellGoRiiing]

Anyone heard about this game, I saw videos and images for it on IGN and thought that this game looks interesting. It's a FPS puzzle game, where you have this special gun that can grab objects (hard to explain how, you have to see the videos) and also later in the game you will be able to place portals on walls/floors/ceilings/etc.

Anybody planning on getting this when it comes out, I think the month it comes out is Oct.. I'm going to try and get this...but I'm afraid that my computer won't be able to handle this game. (the graphics look awesome basically, lol)

What do you guys think of this game, if you don't know about this game, look it up.

Looks pretty cool, but they need to make it more then just a demo for a cool new weapon, which it looked like in the trailer I saw.

Oh yeah. I really wish they would make this a full game, it is a brilliant gameplay idea, and I wish they would follow this through with a full length game. I loved the trailer too.

It's made with the source engine I think. I've seen the gameplay trailers some months ago.

 

[madmax_vii]

saw this about a year ago, but the best thing is that its being developed by indie gamers under the valve name ^_^

I didn't hear the demo only part...they're not planning on making a full game on it? That sucks...

Portal is a puzzle game based at the same time Half-Life Ep. 2 and you only have one weapon; The portal gun. It is a full game but it is going to be sold with another game (I forgot what it was.) They said that there is going to be plenty of ways to solve to puzzle and its up to. >> I've re-made this system for RMXP(still Buggy). =D Oh, The system they used was the same from half life.

EDIT: I know all of this is true because I watched it on G4 and they talked to the people who are making HL:2 and they are the ones creating it, Not Indie Gamers. And I seen it not too long ago

Uhm... The full Portal ships with Half-Life 2, Episode 2, along with Team Fortress 2. There's nothing demo-ish about it.

You guys no offense seriously live in the dark, i use steam (valves main distribution source) and participate in many of their events. Portal is a full game and is being released october or november the 9th. There is no grabbing gun in portal, and yes it is fully available in valves new "orange box". Released november or october the 9th the orange box includes "Half Life 2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal.

It is built on the famed source engine and the graphics are not just on that game, they are also on Half Life 2, Half Life 2:Episode 1, Counter Strike:Source, Garrysmod, Half Life 2:Deathmatch and more.

But yes, this game is indeed released this year, along with another source engine game by a Valve Client called Turtle Rock Studios. Their latest creation is the new zombie survival horror left 4 dead, the graphics on this take Half Life 2 to a new level. Half Life 2 is renown for it's physics engine and this now comes in with left 4 dead, where characters have physics enabled hair that move around with your character, the beard on the biker is yet to be confirmed.

Heres a video to feed your taste buds: (you'll have to mind the geeky commentary)

I'm not saying actually to release a demo, but as in, I hope they have the content to make a full game, and not just 'yeah... we gave you a room and a cool weapon... um... have fun.'

Portal is a full game. It's based on a "test demo mod" of sorts for the original Half-Life where you did the exact same thing except with shittier graphics and the portals were modled after gaping demonic mouths.

They said the game will have about 20 or so levels. The object is to reach the end of the level by navigating the terrain using the portal gun. They said the game will be about 4-5 hours long on the first playthrough but the portal gun is being added to the source engine so anyone can use the SDK to add the gun to any SOURCE engine game like counter-strike or half-life deathmatch.

It's being released the same time as Team Fortress 2 (which is what I really want) and Half-Life 2 Episode 2. There's also going to be an Xbox 360 exclusive "super pack" that contains a graphically amped up Half-Life 2, Episode 1, Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 for 60$. Definitely worth the tag if you ask me.

Do you know if Left 4 Dead comes in some pack with Portal and Team Fortress? I am really hungry for those 3 games.
