    Default Portal 2: The Cake Is Still A Lie



    Portal 2: The Cake Is Still A Lie

    With Portal 2 coming out any day now (Friday, Friday, gonna come out on Friday*), a Portal 2 thread seemed appropriate.

    Portal 2 is currently set to be released on the 19th in United States, check the official website for other countries. *There is speculation of an early release date, most likely Friday the 15th.

    The second (current) Portal 2 ARG.

    CAUTION: THIS THREAD WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS. However, if you're posting spoilers BEFORE April 21st (the last countries' release date), please use spoiler tags.

    There's already a Portal 2 thread, but this one has a picture and witty title.

    I like pictures and witty titles.

    Let's keep it. I'll call him George and I'll love him and pet him and feed him and...
    Well, I'm not entirely certain where that was going.

    *Ahem* Anyway...
    Given my current lack of funds and terrible computer, I propose someone do a blind Let's Play! of Portal 2 once it is released.

    I would totally do that. I could record it too.

    You know what would be even more fun, though? Doing a blind LP of the co-operative campaign with someone cool and hip.

    I don't have a 'date to the Portal 2 ball' though, as it were. Hmm...

    I was thinking a co-op LP would be interesting, for one thing you would already be talking in co-op so you might as well record everything.

    If both players were to use demo record in the game's console they would be recording each others voice saving you from having to do the whole annoying hear your own voice thing and allowing you to make some nice high quality videos afterwards.

    Then once both players recordings are made you can synch them up in Youtube Doubler for a nice split screen Let's Play.

    This sounds awesome. I'd totally be up for this despite not having a partner at the moment.

    Hmm, then I wouldn't have to sacrifice quality by running FRAPS. Intriguing proposition...

    It's just easier to lose something that way, though, isn't it? What if a patch comes out and suddenly our recording is from an old version and we can't watch it? I'd be nervous the whole time.

    What an intriguing proposition! This might get around my "Mac arg blarg" issues. Another idea that was proposed was Livestreaming it and then editing it there and uploading it to the 'tubes. I don't have experience with how it works, but it'd be nice to try.

    i would be up for it, but time differences may be a problem, im in the UK if its better or not.

    also i would need to have some time sorting out how to record it, i doubt its hard, just never done it before. but i think it could be fun to portal 2 co-op with a stranger you can trust...ish (robots give 6 more seconds of co-operation, remember that!)

    Yeah I would rather they didn't as well, I've got work I want to get done before it's release. Then there are all the people who pre-ordered the Playstation 3 version because a PC version came free with it.

    Also I would be forced to choose between Portal and Ponies.

    Well, Blackfox and Phase seem to have the co-op LP covered. Should I do a single-player LP, or is someone else already planning one?

    Not that only one GitP single-player Portal 2 LP can exist, but if someone more entertaining than I does one then no one would watch mine.

    I doubt that applies to Valve games, for one thing I don't remember having to wait to play Left 4 Dead 1 or 2 after it first released. Also the very british Rock Paper Shotgun are using the earliest release dates. And Valve are the sort of company who do worldwide releases when they can and when/where they release their own games on Steam is well within their power.

    I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but there's no confirmation, even seemingly, that it's coming out in 2.5 hours. There's a timer. And, if you check now, there's text below the timer talking about a "final test" (which could be a demo, another piece of the ARG, or the game itself). A timer confirms nothing except that something will happen at some time. If it releases, then cheers all around, but I'd hate to see people get disappointed.

    Personally I would actually be relieved.

    Thing is there is also this message that popped up during the ARG:

    i released ‘kick it’ ahead of schedule. that was a test. my goal is to emancipate something else early. but they’re on to me. the system is on lockdown. i still have access to thirteen off-site chambers and am installing a test in each one. i am going to need a lot more test subjects to move forward. waiting and am expecting immediate compliance. 4/19/2011_7AM=4/15/2011_9AM
    "4/19/2011_7AM=4/15/2011_9AM" seems pretty damn specific.
