Portal woman pic

[simonjedi]

i was looking round the portal steam forums and found this pic of the portal woman:

discuss.

 

[Rapstah]

Isn't the Portal woman supposed to be using some kind of high-tech glasses?

 

[Mahalis]

...No? Pretty sure she's looked like that ever since the first screenshot we saw of her.

 

[Dekstar]

Looks fake to me.

 

[Narvi]

It's real, dekstar, I've seen it in a preview.

Wonder what happened to her funky glasses.

 

[TechnoHippyChic]

Julianna Margulies?

 

[Stigmata]

There goes my theory about the test subject being Mossman

 

[Silarn]

Mossman? Valve has already stated that the woman in Portal will be a new character.

 

[MJ12]

I thought they were going to change it to a male? Not that I'd care if it was male or female

 

[Stigmata]

Mossman? Valve has already stated that the woman in Portal will be a new character.

I forgot about that when I developed the theory >_>

 

[Xendance]

She looks sexy.

 

[Godron]

She looks scary.

 

[Rapstah]

She looks potatoes.

 

[Ridge]

She looks potatoes.

D:

LOL

 

[Que-Ever]

Uh, boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew?

 

[mindless_moder]

stew 'em and stick 'em in a boil ...

whats this about her having weird glasses :S ?

 

[Kevin]

Zoundz!

V-Man on the reflection

Have any of you considered this: In all of the Half Life games so far you couldn't see a reflection of characters or npcs in anything! Hell, you couldn't see your own damn feet! However, suddenley once they choose a girl as the main character some forum user posts a picture of your reflection in a game that we have seen previews of already with no reflections at all. I honestley think this is a total fake.
Plus, Valve wouldn't do this sort of thing. They've never been so telling about anything of this sort, as you never even saw Shepard's dang face.
Do you honstley think Valve, one of the most enigmatic game developing companies out there, would release this picture within any of their previews this soon in development?

 

[function9]

No, one of the last videos of Portal that was released, you could get a glimpse of the character. In the video it's just a second or two.

1. Feet? You see your hands. Most FPS only have that.

2. This pic was part of a vid from E3.

3. Being able to see where you are in a 3-D portal-based puzzle game is essential, it is not howqever, in a 3-D FPS, nor a 3-D FPS with a gravity manipulation tool.

 

[Silarn]

Uh - it's been known for a very long time that you'll be able to see yourself in Portal. It wasn't until recently, however, that we actually got a decent look at her face.

In the initial videos, it wasn't even a woman.

yeh it was a place holder balding man which promoted so many rumours about it be shepard

 

[Polaris]

Interesting, she using some kind of shock-absorbers for absorbing kinetic energy from falling.

 

[Narvi]

They look similar to Eli's leg.

Hmm... I wonder if it's set during the Seven Hour War?

 

[Iron_cube]

Portal is not set in the past nor in the future.

 

[Seagull]

Maybe you'll need your reflection for parts of the game :O

 

[Paulaner]

ASHPD energy orb

Fascinating. Did you notice that the ASHPD is directly powered by an energy orb?

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

She looks like Kim swift.

 

[Narvi]

She looks like Kim swift.

Oh, we had this discussion.

It's not her. It just looks like her.

 

[Operational]

You'll be able to see yourself via Portals.

I wonder if they have implemented the same sort of auto-expression feature that TF2 has.

 

[stewe231]

Maybe thats Alyx's Mother? I don't recall Eli saying that he watched her die, and someone did say that Apeture was Black Mesa's rival, maybe they took her from black mesa, and that's why Eli didn't get out with her.

 

[Zombine]

Stewe231, spoiler tags are your friends, use them!

Anyway, the last picture Polaris posted reminds me about the "Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?" question on www.aperturescience.com, because on some videos you can see her wearing boots.

Those shock-absorbers look painful.

 

[AciD]

Interesting, she using some kind of shock-absorbers for absorbing kinetic energy from falling.

When I see that I started thinking that I saw this somewhere else...

Black Mesa Source?

 

[Polaris]

Black Mesa Source?

WTF?
Assassin from Half-Life 2 Beta, of course. Nice find AciDek.

 

[scotland1]

Major discovery! You should get a medal.

 

[AciD]

I want to post it on steam forums but I'll be insta banned for HL2 beta screenshots..

 

[Mahalis]

You, [subject name here], must be the pride of [subject hometown here].
Nice find. Probably not related story-wise, since the Assassin isn't canon, and

Spoiler

Aperture Science is a Black Mesa rival and thus probably not Combine-related

but cool nonetheless.

By the way, apparently narrator-computer-voice-lady is named Gladys. Gabe mentioned it in an interview recently.

Gladys was typo, it's actually GLaDOS.
