New Portal preview from Eurogamer (spoilers)

[Bulletbrain]

Not much new details though. Mostly about the previewer ranting about how he sucked playing portal.

One interesting comment from Doug Lombardi,

"I don't think you see anyone other than yourself for 90 per cent of the game,"

So you WILL see someone else for 10% of the game?

interesting. There also seems to be a lot of previews - more than usual.

Which is not necessarily a good thing. When I played EP1 I knew how half the bloody game would play out! So it was not like "wow that *insert cool feature of EP1 here* was awesome!" but more like "oh, this is how the cool thing I read about earlier plays out..."

Sad thing is I am falling into the same trap again! Curse you dirty little but oh-so-enticing previews with big spoilers!! CURSE YOUUUUUU!!!!

Have to agree.

Even movie trailers nowadays are giving away half the movie. I mean, for Spiderman 3, i watched like 3 minutes of the first big fight scene, i may aswell have walked out and got a drink at the cinema when that scene came up again.

I dont care about previews, im more interested in 'looks like it could contain's and 'release date's.

Well since it's taking so bloody long to get here, no wonder Valve are giving everyone previews. At least it's something.

there's also some cross-reference to it in Episode Two.

Portal is Episode 2? Maybe someone knows someone who works there.

Plot elements of Episode 2 are explained in Portal.

Same. I still absolutely loved the game, but there were elements that'd had the sheen taken off them.
My own fault really I suppose.

In the existing videos, you can see into various observation windows. My guess, is that later in the game, you'll see someone observing you. (I figure 'later in the game' because if you've made it that far, you're going to be of some interest to whoever is running the show.)

I guess that whoever it is, it will only be for a moment, and then they'll just leave after straightening their tie....
