papanesta Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 A comic similar to the one they did prior to L4D's Sacrifice release is out.Part 1 Quoted, because everybody should download it. I love the style. And yeah, this is looking amazing. Out on the same day as Flashpoint, which means no work will be getting done that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Part 2 of the Lab Rat comic Pretty interesting. Contains some nice information, not terribly spoilery, as it's a bridge between the two games rather than the start of P2. Regardless: •We find out why Chell was chosen as the surviving test subject She's tenacious as f*ck •And how she's survived for so long. •How GLaDOS procured neurotoxins •Schrödinger's Cat experiment, a possible overarching theme for the game? •Aperture Science has a Bring Your Cat To Work Day/Cat Graveyard. I'll post a more reader-friendly link to the comic when it becomes available. Edited April 11, 2011 by Robinski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[SM]CJZera Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Oookay... So, can we now expect for Dough to be frozen too and be back in the sequel or at least find his new messages there? He did sleep in a stasis pod... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0mm2k8 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 •Schrödinger's Cat experiment, a possible overarching theme for the game? This is one of the main concepts behind the co-op. GLaDOS finds it fundamentally flawed that she is an AI observing two AI robots perform the test, similar to that paradox. Due to this, she aims to make P-Body and Atlas more human as well as test them, to make the testing valid. Also, my statement of Rattman being Wheatly, was due to the fact he was going back in for her and he also saw the creation of a personality core. I really doubt it now.

Shame I'm getting a physical copy because I'd like to have those pre order goodies. Anyways is it me or are these videos getting better and better? Valve, you f*cking rock big time.

Robinski Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 New investment video: This shouldn't be overlooked in all the excitement of preloading. Some pretty kickass moves from Chell in there apparently "trying to land on her head". Love these videos, only ~8 days to go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinski Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 what would you do if it turned out this game was really crappy? like bad plot, bad gameplay etc? what would you do? I'd be a bit disappointed and move on. Not much I can do about it is there? On that subject, I did think it was a bit risky of Valve to do a full game sequel for Portal. The first seemed so well paced and just worked because it was so short, had it been longer it would have become tedious. That, and the fact that the story rapped itself up pretty well at the end of P1: Glados was dead and Chell was free. Everything seemed done and dusted. That's not to say I think 2 is going to be sh*t, quite the opposite. All the little things like trailers, gameplay and those little investment videos make me think Valve's still got the writing down and can make a full game experience out of the best short game I've ever played.

ilya Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ah, forgot release was so close! Standard version for me, which I'll just pick up. Would've considered getting the 'Cube Edition' had they specially painted and shaped it to be a "Companion Rubik's Cube" instead of what seems to be a lazily plain Rubik's Cube with Portal 2 ad stickers slapped on. Oh well... Anyway, gonna really enjoy this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
