How awesome does that look :D  Might be in HL2 Ep2 apparently...

No its a seperate game.  Portal & Team Fortress 2 are being released with Episode 2.

Though I wouldnt put it past them for putting it in EP2, it would spoil the HL gameplay balance and is rather unlikely.  The only known new weapon so far for EP2 is the "Strider Buster".

I hope we get to play that cool puzzle solving mini game.. infact they should release it as a demo on steam! thatd be so amazing.

That looks awesome :mrgreen:

Prey had portals, couple of other games with this sort of new thing, but whacking it in a gun with the physics engine of half life 2 is like OMG

That looks so much fun, lol and the game is very clevor to handle it, you could so easy bug that out if it was not made well

I just came in to post about this - it looks finger licking good despite me not playing games...

Neat. :)
Anyone here ever played Narbacular Drop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narbacular_Drop)? Apparently most of the team who made it got hired by Valve after they saw the game.

Prey can do player-created portals too.... 8)

Prey was supposed to do portals (and coloured lighting) back in 1996/7.  Then it got canned.

There is a high resolution video of Portal on http://www.xboxyde.com

Not the standard portal though, its a through straigh into that part of the map, shoot through throw, kill be killed live portal.
Only recently seems they all cracked it.
Just a note: Cant call it rip off tbh, they keep cool stuff to themselfs but to solve a hurdle on something they all not done or able to do when they have these events for devlopers they do talk about this and reading up after this post it seems this is one of those things they all wanted to do but couldnt and all sat down and sorted it, will see this sort of thing more in games now and tbh its going to be great.

The actual ability can be used not just in portals etc.
Think teleport where your not loading and while say in transition see all the live action in your new location etc

good stuff and i love when these sorts of things are made
