    At first they were just too delighted that Portal 2 was at the show after all (Valve had been playing a nice game un-announcing the game), then they were too surprised that it was at the PS3 conference, then they were too shocked to see Gabe in person, and then he charmed them by making a Kevin Butler joke about how much Sony hated them. It was awesome.

    Thats what I though when I saw one of the videos. Everything was really smooth with lots of curved surfaces.

    The demos so far look incredible. Don't know how much of it is art vs engine.

    I know. It's kind of sad that I watch those and just wish they'd release white papers on their engine changes.

    The game does look like a lot of fun too...

    I think they went in exactly the right direction with this game. Very nice.

    Dunno, saw it on Rage.


    Btw:
    Valve plans to have cross-platform co-op between PS3 and PC/Mac for Portal 2


    I wonder whether they will alow purchasing the game for any platofrm PC/Mac/PS3/Linux in the future and play it on the others?

    PS3? Nope. PC/Mac? Steam already works like that.

    Yes, I know that PC/Mac works like that. But it would be interesting if you could buy the PS3 version and get all others for free through Steam Play.
    Edit: now I see that I'm wrong - http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/63793

    Btw, Portal 2 is the reason why I still have *faith in games as the medium. This is game design at its finest.

    ^ I've fixed it, thanks. ;)


    Listen to that line you monster... genius, that attention to details and charm that characterizes all of the best games ever made.

    Apparantly it's up to individual software vendors if they want to let people download and play both platform versions of a game. Seems at least some games need to be re-purchased for MacOS, which is scummy as hell. :(

    Then again, why should I care, since I don't own a mac...

    I do, and I think it's alright. The porting effort is appreciated. I'd sure like a discount, and I love getting the port for free like in most cases, but every port counts.

    It's not going to be out for another year? :shock:

    Maybe a bit too soon to be hyping it this much if that's the case!
