    Did Chell die at the end? I hear people say it but I never saw that happen.

    It's kinda left up to you to decide. Some say yes, some say no.

    I found it
    After you blow up GLaDOS and land outside, you heara mechanical whirring and something says "Thank you for assuming the party escape position," and then you hear more whirring as you're dragged off. Chell for Portal 2 anyway?

    There was a big explosion thing and then Chell materialized outside the facility (presumably), laying on the ground, wreckage raining down around her, and then it faded to black

    I don't think she died, personally

    It's a mechanical voice, but it's not the same as any other mech voice in the game. Sounds like different kind of drone robot.

    New ending confirmed.
    You are lying on the parking lot, you are getting dragged away by a robot who says:

    Thankyou for assuming party escort position, or something along those lines

    You don't see the robot, your camera is just getting dragged away

    There is nothing different otherwise

    I randomly went back and watched the old Portal trailer. The look of some things really changed a lot, including the portals.

    I also noticed that in the trailer you can hear the turrets say "searching" in a voice very different from the one in the final game. A lot of the rooms are easily recognizable as ones that ended up being in the final game and you even see the fire pit.

    Ah, crap, I reloaded my save to the final boss, but I didn't get the message, and according to that YT it's because I had to start the whole map over.

    What I got instead was a creepy slow-talking voice (from the final boss' death knell) that looped over the credits. I thought that was the message at first, but no. D:
