Now that's what I call creative thinking. Leave it to Valve to come up with something new and interesting.

Bad ass concept.. but it looks like it'll get boring really quick, needs more stuff to add to the concept.

Reply to Riser

Yeah, i think the trailer is just a "tech demo." From what I know, Valve has only recently finished work on the engine and concept. Now it's time to build the game... :-)

No worries, HL and HL2 have the best stories and gameplay in FPS history. I expect nothing less from "Portal."

Reply to mpjesse

Wow, that looks absolutely crazy. Though all it really looks like is just a 3d puzzle, which might get kinda boring.

Is that on source? Or is it a new engine?

Reply to bearingbreaker92

I don't know.... It looks like it does some cool stuff..... I'd have to play i a bit to see how it was.....

I'm ready to try the demo when it shows up!!!!

Reply to RCPilot

You'll probably get a senior citizen's discount when they release it [/unkind]

Reply to WingDing

source is their newest engine... per se...

Reply to mrface

Was wondering when you'd show up. I suspect you saw a post about a trailer and thought you might me getting a new home. :wink:

Reply to Tom_Smart

Wow.. kind of harsh on that.. haha

Reminds me of the Rock, Paper, Sissors thing. This guy from Alabama was there trying to win because he fell through his trailer's floor 3 times this year and needed the money to buy a home for his wife and four kids.

I wondered why he was sitting in the bar drinking beer if he can't afford to fix his trailer's floor.

Because he had his priorities right.

It's probably an improved version of source. I can't see valve wasting all their time and money to build a completely new engine when source is almost as good as the next engine... HL2 still looks amazing and it's been out for almost 2 years.

This game WILL be in my hands as soon as released.

have u played Prey yet? Very Haloish... except better IMO.

Reply to mpjesse

No offense to you, but why does everyone think that because I have The Master Chief as my avatar that Halo is my favorite game? What is my favorite game you may ask? Goldeneye for N64, fcuk yeah. Then second on my list is Half-Life 2, then there is Halo, of course, Mario Brother, etc. Yeah I have played Prey, it isn't bad at all, very good, in fact. But that new Valve game, I want it and I want it now. When is it slated for release?

you should put that in your sig, so everyone knos your not just a halo person.
as for portal yeah it looks mint, i imagine that the gun would be limited to the end of the game simply to stop it from getting boring same way they did with the gravity gun(believe it or not it does eventually get boring), so i imagine it would be like a special gun near the end of the game and/or not needed much.

Reply to Flakes

I guess I'm making an assumption. But can you really blame someone for making that assumption if the "chief" is your avatar?

I think not.

That's like me getting pissed at someone because they assume the picture in my avatar is me. I just so happens that it is... but that's not the point is it? If I'm portraying an average looking dude in my avatar, I don't think it's wrong for people to assume that it's me. Just like we all assume that Cheez's avatar is actually her boobs... or that Darren's avatar is him... or that RCPilot likes Coors Light... or that dwellman likes disc golf... or that Jake_Barnes is a patriot...

See what i mean?

Reply to mpjesse

Yeah I do know what you mean. I was going to have something different but Chief was easy to scale and enhance so used him.

Reply to Caboose-1

So what's your favorite game then?

Reply to mpjesse

He likes playing Bury The Sausage with obese older men.

This is my favorite game, of course. But runner up (and my actual favorite) would have to be given to either Goldeneye for N64 or the original Mario Brothers. I don't know, truthfully; so many great games have been made I cannot decide. My current favorite would be, say, oh Half-Life 2.

Reply to Caboose-1

You ever play Painkiller or Serious Sam????

Don't get me wrong, I believe HL2 is the best game out there, so far.....

Reply to RCPilot

Yeah I have played both of those. I have Serious Sam. Why in the hell did they give such a great game a shi77y name? Seriously (pun intended), what the hell kind of name is Serious Sam? They should have called it Crazy Bastard or something :roll: .

Reply to Caboose-1

LOAO!!!!

You got that right!!!!

I'm playing SS2 right now..... Started it back up a couple of weeks ago..... I love to run & gun & that game has got it.... Well, all the SS series does....

I like PK for the same thing as well......

Reply to RCPilot

I should go pick up Painkiller tomorrow, along with the original Serious Sam.

Reply to Caboose-1

Get the PK Gold.... That gives you both releases.... It didn't get rated real high & is darn cheap last I looked at the store.... If you like SS, you'll like PK...

I have the whole SS series... I haven't loaded the first SS in quite awhile, but I liked it when I played it as well as SS2...... Second Encounter is also good....

Reply to RCPilot

Games like that are only good for about 10 minutes, then they get too boring...

I'm not sure about Prey. The demo is good but it all seems a little pointless. Maybe the game will have a solid storyline attached to it.

Reply to WingDing

I'm not the type of gamer that likes to look hard to find things..... Let it come to me & I'll take it out.... Blast away & blow things up!!!!

Reply to RCPilot

Have you ever played Painkiller? That's good fun in the SS genre.

Reply to WingDing

Oh yea... I've got the gold one....

Reply to RCPilot

Yes yes! Painkiller is one of the best "no-brainer" FPS's ever. Better than SS IMO.

The monsters in Painkiller were so fuc*king awesome. The weapons were great too.

Are they making a sequel to that?

Reply to mpjesse

I hope so. It was a real pant-filler.

Reply to WingDing

I haven't heard of a sequel since they put out the extension pack came out.... The gold edition has all of the game that I know of.....

I also love the weapons & bodies you get to shoot in the game!!!!
