I wonder how the co-op will work for this game.

And I swear when I make my co-op buddy fall through an endless
ceiling-to-floor-loop will be totally accidental! :p

Have you played through the 1st game? You can get out of the loop with out even trying. What I do wonder is if you can drop a cube on your buddy...

I think it will be easier and more fun to just shooting portals under his feet or something. Less is more.

Now will they make it so one player can only shoot the blue portal and the other one the orange? Might make for some interesting teamwork ( after the goofing off ;)

That's what I was thinking. Either limiting each player to a certain color, or forcing them to "share" both colors. What I mean is that if I fire a blue portal, then he fires a blue portal, it would make mine disappear.

I can imagine being in separate rooms and having to shoot through holes in the wall to advance each other forward. Like a maze where each player must take turns allowing the other one to advance.

No, I have the magazine. It's definitely implied that both characters get two portals each.

Portal 2=Automatic, Instant GOTY contender.

Easily one of my most anticipated releases of 2010. Gosh, I'm excited.

As much as I loved the first Portal, is it really Gane of the Year material? There are plenty of better games. I think If you take out the atmosphere, Glados, and cake it would just be a slightly above average puzzle game.

you do realize you can say that about anything, right? if you take out the graphics and story of uncharted 2 then you just have a decent 3rd person shooter. i don't understand how this would make a game any less good, considering it actually HAS those elements.

portal 2 deserves every bit to contend for game of the year. personally, i think EVERY game deserves a shot at that title. and why not? any game that offers amazing game play and expands the limits of how i think about video games should deserve a chance, i don't care if it's a puzzle game, a shooter, or a platformer.

It still stings that as a PS3 owner, I WILL NOT get the play the second half of the Portal story. I think its only fair that if the first game is on both systems, then the sequel should also be on both.

//Just slightly less bummed about not getting to play the new Splinter Cell also..

Just get a PC. Valve games are good for it. Buy a new one on Black Friday for $500-600, then upgrade GPU every 2 years on black friday also, for around $200.

that's the nature of the biz. i'm eventually shelling out money for a ps3 to play demon's souls and GOW 3. maybe you should just think about picking up an xbox. if you're not planning on doing anything hard drive intensive, the arcade would do you well (and hell, even if you are, the usb hard drive update can at least keep you from buying one of MS's expensive HDDs).

@ David

oh man, Demon's Souls. Flat out one of the best games I've ever played.

Too bad Sony dropped the ball on that one and allowed Atlus to get the localization rights to it.

I felt the same way about Tomb Raider on the Sega Saturn. Always a bummer.

Portal 3 should have a gun that will incorporate the worlds of TF2 and HL2.

lol Macs don't have games, etc

Also, I'd argue that "PC" covers Macs too -- if it was a "Windows" tag I could see there being an issue.

Some people use "PC" to refer specifically to IBM clones which includes Windows and Linux but not Mac.

That's actually how I learned it when I was getting my CS degree; I only just looked it up now on Wikipedia to discover that other people use PC to refer to any old personal computer (though there was a link at the top of the page to "IBM compatible" computers).

Dude, if Portal 2 will be taken anything from Demon's Souls, we, guise, are quite screwed.
