A Peek at Portal 2 Co-op, Where You Play Robots
Expect lots of portal gun shenanigans from your co-op buddies.
The introduction of cooperative gameplay in Portal 2 has us excited. Little is known about how things will work with two players, each with his (or its) own portal gun, but GameTrailers has the exclusive teaser trailer from Valve giving the first look at coop.
From it, we gleamed that it'll be a robot duo with dual portal guns. If only February 9, 2011 could be here sooner.

Awesome, will definitely buy this.
Love me some co-op; can't wait for this game.
Maybe this will be the first step in figuring out a viable way to introduce the portal gun somehow into multiplayer.
i am not attracted to this game.
why?
He came out of the last portal the wrong side up.

Because you have a bad taste in games :|

Must have had a bad experience with the neurotoxin.
It's interesting, when I had first seen the two robots, I felt certain that the portal guns they had would each be half of the same portal, but it looks like they plan on two full portal guns if that video is accurate.

you didn't get any cake?

Because he has to share the cake now
I just refused the cake last night... for real, i just finished the Portal last night even though i bought the Orange Box on the first day of release.
I hope each player get half of the portal in co-op...

It looks like each player had a different Portal gun based on the colors used in the original Portal.
My only complaint about the video is it looks like a very quick mission complete and something that short doesn't give a good sense of high levels of cooperation. They shot ONE portal and it was over? I'm highly anticipating this game but this video didn't do much for me.

I believe the point of this trailer is merely to give you a rough idea of how the co-op mode will work, and get your imagination going. If you're looking to be wowed by the complexity of the puzzles, check out some videos closer to the release date or walkthroughs on youtube following it's release.

But to be fair the first few levels in the original Portal were pretty quick and easy. They are only there to get you used to the mechanics of playing.

Its a teaser. That could just be the end of 'a' level.
Plus it means you could be mean and send your buddy into the smasher.
And considering they both have portals, I would surmise that it will take a lot of co-op.

Because you've never played it.
Its funny that level is actually more complicated than it first seemed. You really do need two people to solve it. Really looks live valve is putting a lot of work into portal though... I hope the big budget treats the game well.

I was just very underwhelmed after the jaw dropping teaser of the single player content. Not like it has lessened my anticipation for the game itself. I'm sure later levels will be more complex and interactions with the other player more critical to complete each puzzle.

Don't like cake?
Agreed that it's actually a good example. Understated yet with some depth. You couldn't do it single. The "jumper" can't use its portal gun at all... the fizzler would close any portal created by the jumper's gun. And the timing for the final portal needs to be right. And if they incorporate the 'paints' too, these could be some mind-numbing puzzles!
Wow
I fail to see the excitement in the portal games. Yes I played portal 1 & found it to be pretty lame & lacking. I guess people liked it because it was different from other games & there is nothing wrong with that. I will have to pass on portal 2 but it will most likely come with the HL 3 game pack when it is at some point released.
@flightmare
nope, if you know portal you would know that the player exists the portal with the velocity that he entered it but orientated to the world axis system

To each his own. I know that I will have hours of fun with my brothers playing portal coop. I was hoping for coop in the original portal, so this will be cool.
Abso-f*cking-lutely the best game ever !
*drools*

He has nightmares about destroying his companion cube. I know man, I have them too
I will check this out.
Darn it, more red goo in my shorts.
The two robots reminded me of Sully and Mike from Monsters Inc.
She's still alive.
