Includes actual gameplay footage of Portal from various stages of development.
What, is it true that a guy from FP was working on Portal?

Is his thread still available to view?

so where the hell did all of this video from alpha/beta portal come from?
Does this mean a very large amount of Portal dev builds or maps are in being passed around in private?

You should ask him, he has an account here.
remember the days when valve made not 1, but 3 games at once?
[QUOTE=Sableye;49781651]remember the days when valve made not 1, but 3 games at once?[/QUOTE]
Yeah I remember the past quarter, where they did major updates and expansions to Dota 2, CS:GO, TF2 and their VR stuff.
It's quite easy to remember when it's actually happening right now, but I wouldn't want to interrupt the 'b-but valve doens't do games!!1' meme

TF2 updates are a joke but yeah you're not wrong.
this video just makes me sad because it shows how busy valve was when they were making really good games and not just hats
That lobby area looked pretty cool. I wish more of those-pre GlaDOS escape areas made it to the final build.

i imagine a lot of the ideas they had there were more fleshed out in the similar-looking areas in portal 2

I think the best part was he got banned for making that thread because a mod thought he was lying :v:

I wouldn't be surprised.
Areas like that would fit with the more complete control of every inch of the [sp]modern[/sp] facility GlaDOS had in the second game.
The ending where the player had to reactivate a generator sounds really interesting. A survival horror game around cleverly using the portal gun to evade and fight enemies would be really interesting.

I mean, theoretically a mod like that could be done with Portal 1 given that it still has Half-Life 2 assets and all, but we can't do the same with Portal 2. Unless a mapper was really fucking clever, like Nightmare House 2 clever.

iirc you could just port hl2 over from sfm since i think they share the same asset structure

Portal's just one of those games that makes you feel good. Everything about it just feels like it all worked out so perfectly. Portal 2 was good, and it was a damn near perfect sequel, but nothing beats the sense of magic that came with the first one. I feel like the developers came at just the right time and place for the game to come out the way it did, and it's one of the best examples out there of video games being art.
Man, Portal is almost 10 years old. How time flies.

Especially because nobody expected it and the Orange Box was the most Bang For Your Buck package I ever purchased.
I had that post by Jeep bookmarked at one point. I remember that post getting bumped when Portal actually came out and people realised everything he said was true (since no one believed him at the time).
I really dig the that early Nova Prospekt aesthetic. It's like as if the Combine decided to use prisoners to test out some teleportation technology they've been working on.
I'm guessing VNN asked Valve if he could make a video on the history of Portal, then they sent him a shitload of dev builds and information

Everything in the beta (source engine) was scounged up from various artists that used to work at valve and recompiled/updated to work.

Can we [b]STOP[/b] with this meme garbage yet?
Just because you keep repeating it doesnt make it true.

how does simply saying how something makes you feel tell you that that person is trying to make something else true? also, a lot of people feeling sad because of something is not a "meme."

You and i both know this isnt true and i'd be dumbfounded if you actually thought so.

ah, let me rephrase it to remove the exaggeration: valve isn't [U]as[/U] active making games [U]as[/U] they used to be.
