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.

    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.

    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.
