Portal 2

[Benny]

I'm trying to decide if I should get the PS3 version for the novelty of Move control in case it adds anything to the game but if EA are developing I'm not so sure. Might plump for the cheaper PC version on its own. Hope my aging 8600GT can run it though, that's the only worry. (Valve have been updating the source engine over time with various bells and whistles after all, I can run TF2 ok at 1650 by 1080 but that's an old game now...)

Valve handled the PS3 version of this inhouse, EA aren't involved with it this time (thank fuck)

[PK]

Why does that Potato Sack image say "this special offer ends when Portal 2 releases" and not "this special offer ends 19th April"?

Why don't I read threads before posting in them?

The Sarge said otherwise?

The Sarge said otherwise?

That was just for TF2.

[Benny]

That was just for TF2.

Doh!

PS3 version with free PC copy get!

New song from OST. (Added to audiosurf I think)

[Mr. Gerbik]

Gerbik you sexy bastard, thanks for the Steam games! I assume you already those from the potato sack ? Damnit my finger is so close to the purchase button, especially since I know you've got it on PC and others here have it too.....

No problem, hope you enjoy them! yeah I had those from the potato pack which I bought for the Portal 2 co-op skin and the chance that I might get to play portal 2 early

[Wintermute]

The pre-load pushed me over the edge, from not buying-it-yet to MUST BUY NOW. I expect disappointment.

And maybe cake. Possibly some neurotoxin.

You're doing it wrong, filthy human!

[mr_woo]

Yay, preloading now. Whoop whoop whoop!

[Wintermute]

I'm merely hedging my bets! Portal was perfect, if I don't expect much maybe I'll be as delighted as I was the first time.

I've avoided as much as I can but the ARG has got me giddy. I still beli3ve!

[mr_woo]

Brilliant

[Mr. Gerbik]

Pre-load complete

It's going to be a long wait

[mr_woo]

Pre-load complete

It's going to be a long wait

Only till friday

[Mr. Gerbik]

Like I said, a long wait

[Blu3Flame]

How big is the preload?

[JPR]

How big is the preload?

9,951 MB of data sat on your HDD taunting you until release.

[mogawoods]

Only till friday

What? This Friday?

[Moz]

The ARG seems to have been a very complicated way to announce an early release. BUT it may hinge on owning the potato pack, or something like that. We don't know yet

[mogawoods]

Oh, OK. I'll probably pre-order it anyway. What's the ARG?

[Moz]

A big complicated thing!

[crisy]

I haven't been following this at all and now it's nearly out! A sequal to Portal should be the best thing since.... well Portal, is it looking to live up to the standards the original set?

[RubberJohnny]

How big is the preload in GBs?

[moosegrinder]

9gb, give or take a couple of hundered meg.

[The Mighty Ash]

Do we usually see reviews of Valve games before release?

[Bojangle]

Or it could have all been planned and be part of the ARG and we'll actually get HL2: EP3 on Friday.

[snowbind]

Do we usually see reviews of Valve games before release?

Not that I was aware of. L4D had a lot of prior coverage (for Valve) as it was a brand new stand alone IP, but strictly speaking, they don't really need them.

Yeah just the extra 951 meg.
