Just played a portal 2 demo!

[Technologic]

I was in town and game had this booth with 4 xbox 360s with a portal 2 demo. So here's the rundown:

Pros:

- It is awesome, beyond awesome.
- The levels (at least the few i played) are HUGE. and require a lot of thinking.
- Loading times are much shorter, you don't load between each puzzle just every few puzzles
- The same dark humour as in portal 1 is there, and it's goooood, very good.
- Graphics are much better
- Physics engine is improved
- Faith plates <3

Cons:
- JAGGIES. JAGGIES EVERYWHAR. Seems like there's no AA on the 360 version, don't know about the PS3 or PC.

[Stephen]

highly doubt they'd ever not put aa on pc version

[Fez]

They had AA on the Orange Box for both PS3 and 360.

Obviously didn't happen on the PC.

I reckon its for framerate purposes as the game is a long way from release.

I just hope there isnt much in terms of combat as i hate combat in the games running on the source engine (apart from cs:s for obvious reasons)

I cannot figure out what AA is :'( someone tell me.


Also i cannot wait.

Anti-anialising or something like that (smooths edges in games).

Anyway I just finished portal for my first time and tbh portal 2 will rock, coop ftw.

Gonna play co-op with my mum I think.

From what you listed, the pros outweigh the cons. :P

It's 2 weeks 2 days away from release. Also I hope there isn't any combat too... but it isn't running on the source engine... it can't be... ;S

At the PC bit, I think he was referring to the use of AA on the orange box. I'd be pretty confused if it wasn't on PC, considering they said PS3 buyers get a code for the PC version :D.

Also after finishing portal, I can understand why that song is epic.

Oh?

I don't have as much time as I used to; to play games :(

If i buy it on PC will i get it on ps3?

[Stephen!]

No because the PC version will be cheaper.

[Fez]

If i buy it on PC will i get it on ps3?

Nope.

May as well just buy a PS3 copy really.

[Firehorse]

Wonder if it's a limited time offer, or if it will still work when the game goes down to under £20
