New Portal Video!!!

The movie is most certainly ****ed up in the rectum, lags and literally stops playing at the beginning. It runs well a bit into it though.

I uploaded it on Filefront if anyone cares, the link can be found here.

Thank you.
 
Thanks for the Filefront, but it gets stuck at a few seconds in too.

Try jumping to 40 seconds (~00:40) into the movie and it should start playing, alternately try using VLC (link) to play it (doesn't get stuck but skips a bit of the video in the beginning).

Apparently IGN has screwed up. :frown:
 
Thanks Loke. Media Player Classic should make the video more bearable, downloading...

edit - works, great footage :D
 
Yeah, swithcing to 40 seconds in works. Thanks.

And damn that looks complex :X

How do you play it in VLC?

Open up VLC, click "File" (upper left corner) then "Open file...", while there click "Browse" and find the Portal video, once you've done that click "OK" and the movie should start playing.

Alternately you can right-click on the Portal movie then "Open with" and find VLC (the VLC folder is called "VideoLAN").
 
Hey, the portal effect now looks exactly how it does in the logo:

I think the new effect looks a lot smarter. Before it looked a bit naff at close range.
 
Ugh. New portals look -terrible-. The distortion-plus-flames at least looked elegant, something like what you'd think a hole in space would; this just looks like someone stuck a neon blob around a hole in the wall.
 
Thank you so very much. Now I just have to download it, which will take a while on my connection.
 
It's official; I will never finish this game on my own. Walkthroughs here I come!

Yeah, it is. But as you can see, that line isn't played where the player reaches the place, so me thinks they cut it from another level and then placed it there in the first promo vid to create a shens of 'OMG so hard'.

The old one looked crap (low-q) and nowhere elegant when you were near it.

Dayum, I hate VALVe's Marketing Campaign. Make it look better on the X360. *cry*

It isn't. A high-end computer could make Portal look as good, if not better as the 360.

EDIT: Oh shiz, double post, soz for that.

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.

wait till' i find the article with Xbox360 team. Or wait, you may find it out when, console pack comes out. (i remember they told about more details, or higher textures, dont remember which one).

but still this is even titled (portal video) as Xbox360 version. right now I feel lost until i see newer PC footage that is as good as this. never know what happens next. :cheese:

say that again. "No mather how good/high-end PC you have, 360 version will look better." From Preview Which im trying to bring here, but if someone remembers this line...
 
Thanks for the filefront. :) :thumbs: interesting video and I agree with AJ Rimmer I will need a walktrough for this!

I'm pretty sure everything you're talking about has to do with the port of Ep1 and HL2. Not saying you can't prove me wrong, find the article.

I SO hope you are right, my friend. Still cant remember where did i saw it.
 
Thanks for the upload Loke.

I'm making a heavy presumption here. I reckon that the latest IGN game play video is a very early beta version, nowhere near as complete as "Orientation Video no. 1" or the Leipzig Games Convention clips demonstrate.

I'm basing this theory on several things;

a.) The design of the portals, how simple they look compared to the 'flame rip' portals of "Orientation Video no. 1" and the Leipzig Games Convention clip.
b.) The lack of any ambient noise which is heard in the above mentioned two clips
c.) And the biggie, no automated female voice...I would have at least expected that in the demonstration.

Of course, all merely speculation and I'm probably very wrong! :)

Edit: I've also noticed the designation "F-22" has been removed from the ASHPD. Was this added later in development? Or did the "APERTURE" wording and barcode replace it at later date?

Edit: Forget about b.) I've watched it several times with the speakers up and I can just about hear some background noise.
 
That could be it... the shadowy lighting in this thing really doesn't fit with the clean, clinical thing they've been doing so far. And the neon blobs do have a sort of placeholder feel – why would they put so much work into the flaming rip shaders only to ditch them later?
 
Gah! I dl-ed it last night but the dl was corrupt and now I can't download it again because it says my key is invalid! ME WANT PORTALS!

Sorry, but it is widely accepted that HL2 and Episode One are the ones getting graphic upgrades to their poor, older selves that TF2, Portal and Episode Two already are utilising. In other words, our Portal will look as pretty as their Portal but HL2 probably will not.

Then don't assume.
 
Give us back the old portal!!!!!


EDIT: After watching the video for a while, the new portal is okay.
 
I think it is good. Although the other design did make it look like you were ripping holes in the space time continuim. :)
