    Ahem, one must be registered to download one crappy trailer... what's wrong with these people?

    You can watch it streaming for free, if your connection can handle it.

    According to that article, there's uncertainty about if this is actually a different game or merely an advertising tactic for part of Episode 2.

    I hope its a new game - but then again they do now show any other weapons.
  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
    btw, afaik the game is not actually by valve, but by a company they bought last year or so...

    You can watch the YouTube version of the Portal trailer [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpdCi5XpCsE]here[/url].

    I actually like the idea about portal.
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    What would be very interesting if there were no 'normal' guns. I would buy the game just for that.
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    I want one IRL.

    you know, after seeing the movie, i think i might buy HL2 ep2 just for that....
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    Oh yah. Now if they sold it by itself - that would make me happy.
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    umm...

    Portals is a seperate, First person puzzle game. It's being released WITH HL2:Ep2, but is not part of it.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Is that "with" as in "pay for one package" or "with" as in "released at the same time, buy separately"?
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    hasn't been specified
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    I guess we'll have to wait and see, then. When's it due?

    darn too stephen hawkingnism for me
    it gives me headache too complicated
    but still really good
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    I belive in october...can't say where I heard that, but in the Fall is the current release date for HL2:Ep2, so that means the same for Portals. :)
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    It gives some genuinely interesting possibility for abuse on part of all the physics geeks of the world ;) I can't help but wonder how much time i'd spend just messing with it, if only for the novelty.
  • FreejackFreejack Jake the Not-so-Wise
    Hmm, definitely interesting, especially if its more a problem solving with limited resourses like the armidillo game than it is a FPS...that said, I wonder what happens when you try and open a portal on a bad guy?

    it's almost as bad as if you cross the streams, or look into the trap...

    Haha! "I looked at the trap, Ray."

    Or, what if you opened one end of the portal and jumped in without opening the other end?

    i am so glad someone got the referance...

    I'm thinking the game looks like fun, i'll definately give it a go. that is if i have a PC that can run it at the time...

    since i only paid $250 for my new laptop... and my wife said i could spend $1500... i can either upgrade my PC... or get an LCD HDTV... Decsions decisions... wonder if i could swing both, then play the game ON the LCDTV.... hmmmm..

    My pleasure. Ghostbusters is one of my favorite movies. :)

    As for the TV, were you looking at a rear-projection LCD or flat? (I would assume flat as you want to play games on it.)

    i'm looking at flat, i've currently got a nice Tube HDTV, that i really like, but the thing is HUGE, my wife would love it if i got something thinner, i'm looking at somewhere between a 32 and 42, 37 prolly being perfect. i still haven't decided on Plasma or LCD...

    i was kind of joking about playing games on it, i mean, if i end up being able to do that, then great, but its not the prime reason for getting the new TV.
  • A2597A2597 Fanboy
    it's called HDMI Out...

    and alot of Vid Cards have that nowadays ... :) Just make certain you get a TV that supports HDMI...and...MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

    Oh all the TV's that i'm looking at have HDMI, course my current video card only has DVI, but thats ok.

    it wont be until november at the earliest, and most likely not till i get back from Florida in January.

    I've looked at the Aquos, very nice, i'm actually hoping that the 1080p tv's will be out in abundance wheni go to get my new one.


    i've also looked at, and dont laugh, the Phillips Ambilight TV's, at first i through Ambilight was the silliest thing i'd ever heard of, but then when i saw it in person, its actually pretty neat,

    It's also actually better for your eyes. It's not a stupid gimic, as most people think, it allows you to watch with the room lights off without getting tired eyes.
