If you didn't go to PAX or did attend but didn't visit the the best booth on the show floor, you would have missed this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H_1NevHi5A


Portal 2 is due out Feb 9, 2011 for PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and PS3.

There is a brand new single player campaign which is twice as long as the original game.

And as you can see, there is a fancy schmancy new co-op mode, which is also twice as long as the original game.


If you pre-order at GameStop, you get 5 bucks off and extra skins for the co-op bots.

    I probably went in to watch this demo three times

    and I would happily wear a portal 2 shirt if it were girl shaped, and I never wear video game crap

    This game looked so great. It was one of the very few games I was willing to wait in a long line to see, and it was definitely worth the wait.

    This makes me want to play the original Portal.

    Actually, Portal makes me want to play the original Portal. I don't know why I haven't yet. It's not like I don't own a 360 or a Mac.

    I'm a little worried about portal 2, because portal 1 did pretty much everything perfect except not being very long, but even that it did great, and portal 2 plans on fixing exactly that, but I feel that they have the POSSIBILITY of fucking everything else up so bad because it started off so well, except this is valve and they are very fucking good at what they do.

    So excited for this game.

    Also, we've seen propulsion and repulsion gels, but apparently it's been hinted that there's a sticky gel somewhere in there too (don't have a source though).

    It opened every time we let in a new group. You just had to come back and try again.

    People were mobbing the booth like crazy on Saturday. Literally running over to it as soon as the doors opened to the exhibition floor at 10. We wrapped the line around 3 times before the enforcers told us we couldn't do that any more.

    I kinda hung around in the big open area of the wizards of the coast booth until the line opened up again.

    Felt like a dick but I've bought a ton of magic cards the last few months so they can deal with it.

    I tried to get in line at, like, 10:05, but apparently by then it was already a fire hazard.

    The source might be the DigiPen game that the gels are based upon which had speed, bounce, and sticky paint in it.

    I'm super impressed about that. It's awesome that Valve just looks for original and interesting game designs from students and modders and gives them jobs for em. To great result if Portal itself is any indication. (and it is)
