First Portal 2 Details Hit The Web!

CommentMarch 7th, 2010 14:46

Valve’s sequel to the incredibly popular Portal was only announced a couple of days ago and scans of it’s GameInformer reveal have already hit the web. Here’s the first batch of details on what we can expect from the sequel:

  • The game takes place hundreds of years after the original. Hence why the Apature centure looks a lot like a jungle possibly.
  • GlaDOS returns as the main villain, with the subject from the last game, Chell, coming back to be the protagonist.
  • The co-op campaign is separate from the main story in the game. It lets you play as two bipedal robots.
  • Those personality cores thrown into the fire at the end of the last game? They’ve shut off areas of the Apature lab and made it their own.
  • Physics has a bigger role this time, with one demo showing a portal could be used from an air vent to suck air from one area to an another.
  • Reflection cubes will be added to the game for laser-based puzzles.
  • Valve had no idea Portal 1 would be so big.
  • The original Portal was seen as a “test bed”. The sequel will be a fully fledged title.

Head over to PALGN to view the scanned screens of the issue. Looks fantastic. Hopefully this week’s GDC will have a debut trailer for us. Portal 2 is in development for PC and Xbox 360.

Thanks VG247.
