New Portal Video!!!

It's slowly loading, but from the new Portal entrance/exits i saw so far.... :eek:
 
Graphics looks great. And levels seems to be bigger than I thought!
 
Presumably it'll come to Steam eventually. They really should make Steam their first priority release platform...
 
D: they smoothed the sides of the portals instead of keeping the cool ripping effect :(


Btw, it stops at 56 seconds, saying that it's buffering. I think the file is corrupted.
 
Click "Watch it now". And i said you don't have to be an "insider" not a member. You should register for free, obviously.
 
LOL....dumb, so dumb...yeah I get to 56 and it refuses to go anyfurther
 
wow, that looks extremely complex

I can't wait :D

The new effect looks 100x better. :imu:
 
I agree, I like it better than the flame things
 
My streaming just stops half way through with no apparent reason.
 
umm...that's Xbox360 version, not PC,
instead if you didnt know xbox360 version will be more detailed and graphically better (will look much better, because devs made it better than PC version) than PC version.

look HL2 x360 will have hdr, and episodes, more effects :bounce:

This is valve's FIRST turning step to the console market... :O
 
Darn you, IGN... it's an off-screen video, so it won't make it so quickly to Steam. Ah.

how can you say that, have you seen it? do you know first hand?

the half life 2 for pc I'v heard looks better then the xbox one but not by much... the console maybe a 300-400 dollar piece of hardware, but people put far more money into their gaming rig and eventually will have a better machine. you cant assume that just because its for 360 it will look better. Supposedly dx 10 will look far better then 360 and Ps3, but i dont know, and portals is being released in that era ( im not sure when dx 10 comes out but im guessing some time next year ). It will look just as good if not better on PC.

but i do wish valve would give an optional download for hl2 hdr maps, or at least something we can download gradually
 
Yea that's definitely being played with a controller and not a mouse.

But the only thing that is going to look better on the 360 is Half-Life 2 alone, I think. Games that are yet to be released will probably look just as good on both platforms and/or can be upgraded by Valve after release.

Now where's my motion blur!
 
My video stopped at 53 seconds in :( the new effects IMO are not that bad. I can't wait for this! :)

Only Half-Life 2, I dont think valve will pull something like that off. Portal has no reason to look better on the 360 then pc.

Watching the IGN video, I personally don't notice the difference, except HDR. The Gamespot preview mentioned better effects which I don't see, and full-world reflections which have been in Source since 2004 anyway. The kind of graphics they're putting into HL2 are exciting enough for a single replay-through. Nothing earth-shattering.

And they've always said that the 360 / PS3 versions of the Episode 2 packs will look the same as the higher end PCs.

That's not true. The PC and Xbox 360 versions of Ep2/TF2/Portal WILL be the same graphically. The only thing that's changed, is that now HL2 and Ep1 will have the same effects and upgrades as Ep2/TF2/Portal.
 
The second main room is the "This next challenge is impossible" room.
 
I must admit, I prefer the old portal effect. It looked as if you had ripped a hole in space.
 
But, when you look at the newest shots of Portal in that interview on the front page (of hl2.net), the portals are the same. ?? I doubt the build they played was THAT much older.
 
They were both in different colours, but I guess they weren't subtle enough to be noticed by the player
