Portal 2 Dated, New Gameplay Demonstration
The date is not a lie.
Portal was one of the most pleasant surprises in recent gaming history, and that's even with it coming from a pedigree of great games from Valve Software. But Portal now is no longer an unknown and everyone is looking forward to the second one.
Mark your calendars, everyone, Portal 2 is coming on February 9, 2011. Yes, it's still all the way in next year, but at least we know exactly when… unlike for Episode 3.
In related news, The Office co-writer Stephen Merchant will be voicing Wheatley, the "Buddy Sphere".
Check out the latest demonstration of Portal 2 from GamesCom, courtesy of IGN.

Looks amazing. Alas this is Steam time so February 9th, 2011 probably means August 24th, 2011 at the earliest.
It probably also means that Half-Life 2: Episode Three is at least about two years away still.
this should have been red news...
Hope they port it to linux too.
yay!
least they gave a date. blizzard is worse, i know valve isnt perfect, but they didnt use a vague 'soon' or 'when its done' (im looking at you grrm). i appreciate the fact they gave a DATE.
ill be preordering.
The bot at the start of Vid 1 sounds like Rickky Gervase. Oh god no......
"We both said a lot of things you're going to regret."
Should be a Hallmark card...
Portal 2 FTW!! This looks more difficult and the graphics appear even better, I can't wait to try figuring out the levels, especially after catching a buzz
Actually the bot in Vid 1 sounds like his writing and performing partner in many things Steve Merchant not Ricky. In fact that's exactly who it is.
I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!
Damn that game looks good. (And did you see the repulsion gell effects in the second vid!? The modding community around Gmod has been trying to do that forever!)
Looks good.
Is that annoying British commentary running throughout the game? I got fed up with it in 7 seconds. The least they could have done is to use a female voice. I hope they remove that crap before the game comes out.
Looks great.
Heck yes, I loved the first Portal - can't wait for the second!!!!!!!!
Portal reminds me of a modern remake of an old puzzle game called Chip's Challenge. But kick ass. God that was a fun game. Can't wait for Portal 2.

Yes but usually for all the wrong reasons. I can see it now. Kids with modified Alex skins, facial effects for a nice touch, and gel effects of a different color that I can not name here. OH GOD!..... I think you get the picture.

I was lol'ing so hard when i watched that part.
Video looks amazing, can't wait for the game.
Now THIS looks awesome!
The graphics look really great! I hope Ep 3 looks this sexy.
Looks like a ton of fun. Hopefully, it's as easy to beat as the first one!
The new gels and traps/gadgets look way cool. Cant wait to see what puzzles are in store.
Can someone get me a clean pair of shorts. There seems to be some strange red goo in mine now.
In the event that the companion cube speaks, the enrichment center advises you to ignore it;s advise
I'm pretty excited about this too. I didn't even know what portal was before valve gave it away for free. Genius idea, Valve. You found a new customer.

will see about that soon.
I want my cake
I was worried at first when I heard of the portal sequel that they where just going to make a glorified expansion, but it seems as if they have a really good new idea for the game that will build on the story of the first game
D
super jazzed to get it in feb!

Acceleration paste??

Did you not learn from last time? The cake is a LIE!
I really liked the repulsion gel in the stasis cylinder, not sure weather that's actual in game physics or an animation gimmick, but it was well done.
I still miss WON
