[Portal 2] Why the Pneumatic Diversity Vent was Removed - Games

Because they had literally no potential for good puzzles other than sucking up turrets and looking cool.

It may also be the fact that in the announcement video, they had a section where they could be used to suck panels off the walls which means either this is only possible on some areas or they would've had to double up on outer rooms (idk, maybe it could be done with world portaling) and have replacement panels move right in.

:frog: You are a complete dumbass, we don't need your stupid and completely idiotic threads here on FP.

Op needs to stop making retarded threads about portal. His theory of Portal 2 is more stupid.

[QUOTE=TigerMeet2142;29882868]xD[/QUOTE] Stop. This.

I think because there wasn't enough garbage you could clean out yourself because the script needed GLaDOS to carry the burden. Either that, or it was the least impressive mechanic in the game.

I have plenty of ideas for Pneumatic Diversity Vents. For example, they could be used to transfer weighted storage cubes over pits or fizzlers.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of using portals? [IMG]http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/1751/tubesuck.jpg[/IMG]

I was working on a mechanic that reversed the effects of the vent, it unfortunately didn't work. Idea of one of the puzzles you could've used it in: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10565588/Pictures/Pneumatic%20Propulsion%20Vent.png[/img]

It didn't really do anything that other game mechanics could accomplish and look more spectacular in the process... probably anyways.
