"The voice-over itself is fantastically acted and provides some amusing lines, such as an absurdly-long acronym for the simple switches I'm dropping blocks on."

That voice-over is so great imo! I'm craving for portal more than Ep2!

Edit: I realised this is already in the news section. You can add your thoughts about the previews, if you have any here, I guess. Sorry.

yeah...in the news section no one is allowed to post comments so I see this as fitting....nothing really new in there but I still like hearing new article after new article...gives me a warm fuzzy feeling..in the groin

 

[Asuka]

Nothing we didnt know already but ya..

I dont like it when sites start to repeat themselves about games. Everytime you think there is some new info, after you read the whole article its nothing.

 

[Tamer17]

The ep2 "preview" is just a sum-up of what we know , not a playthrough like in the case of the portal preview.

 

[Shift]

Yep, PREVIEW means a summary of information on the game, its the REVIEW that really outta look foward to now, which will probably become available in the december or january issues of pc mags giving the sort of date they have given for EP2, Portal and TF2s release.

 

[Tamer17]

No , they summed the vids we saw. They played portal at Valve HQ , they didn't play Ep2.

 

[Reginald]

Well.. we now know that you don't start Portal with the Portal gun.

That's about all we got.

 

[Polaris]

Info is not somewhat interesting imo, but still can't wait for Portal....

 

[Asuka]

no. what im saying is the SAME PREVIEWS are being posted over and over again. I dont need the same summery from 10 different sites.

 

[Epsi]

I think we pretty much knew that before.

Sounds like you start with fixed portals in the world, then you get the portal gun that can place one portal with the other being fixed, and then you get control of both portals.

Perfectly balanced portal training. If you've listened to the Ep One commentary (and if you haven't, you should) they're very careful about how they introduce concepts to make sure you understand them before you move on. In Portal they make sure you really grok the concept of the portals before it drops you in the deep end. It's clever.

Don't read it then. It's a stupid thing to piss about when gaming news sites are obviously going to report on them.

 

[bigburpco]

But we hope for new content when these articles come out, and after reading it... nothing new (noes! ) Time is also wasted.

It is annoying reading what you thought was an exclusive with no new information.

 

[Asknoone]

Thats too bad. There are people who haven't read it. Do you honestly think gaming sites/magazines are going to miss out on the information available whilst others lap it up? No.

I've just noticed on gamspy that they have a screenshot of the person you play as in Portal. I actually had a scare as I thought it was Dr Kleiner, you'll see why:

Click Here for Bald Patch Man

I have already started to believe it might be another survivor of Black Mesa, perhaps Slick

I doubt it is him, largely because VALVe said we play as a brand new character in Portal, but it *does* look an awful lot like Kleiner, at least from behind.

 

[Asknoone]

Placeholder model. Besides, they said we play as a female character. Who is new.
