VG247 Blog Archive “Chaos” canned Portal 2 competitive multiplayer
oh man i wanted a 16 player portal deathmatch . Se pare ca trebuie sa ne multumim doar cu co-op-ul oferit de jocValve tried putting competitive multiplayer into Portal 2, but ditched it due to the ensuing �chaos�.
�Along with co-op, [we had] the idea of sort of a competitive Portal multiplayer,� game writer Erik Wolpaw told 1UP.
�We went down that path, actually, for a little while and had something up and running. The best way to describe it is sort of speedball meets Portal. You know, a sports analog. And it quickly became apparent that while it�s fun for about two seconds to drop portals under people and things like that, it quickly just devolves into pure chaos.
�It lost a lot of the stuff that was really entertaining about Portal, which was puzzle-solving. Cooperative puzzle-solving was just a much more rewarding path.�
Portal 2 will include two-player co-op when it releases next February.
Can you imagine Portal DeathMatch with 16 players? Someone should mod it.
VG247 � Blog Archive � Portal 2 delayed into April 2011
Valve has announced Portal 2 will be delayed into April.
The week of April 18 to be exact.
According to Valve, the delay marks not only the “the shortest delay in Valve’s proud tradition of delays”, but it represents “the approaching convergence of Valve Time and Real Time”.
“Though this convergence spells doom for humanity, it will not affect the new Portal 2 release date,” says Valve.
Always cryptic. Always funny. Always delayed.
At least it’s still coming.
Portal 2 was originally slated for release on Mac, PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on February 9.
Portal 2 to have PC & PS3 Co-op
An EA employee has confirmed to PressXorDie that Valve’s upcoming first-person-puzzle-platformer Portal 2 will be sporting cross-platform co-op between PC and PS3.
Holy ****!! Cei de la Valve au ridicat stacheta destul de sus. Jocul devine un must-buy
Valve today announced the Steam features shipping with the PlayStation 3 version of Portal 2 via email to the press.
SourcesMarking the debut of Steam functioning on any next generation console, the features shipping in the PS3 version of Portal 2 include
* Cross platform play (PC/Mac vs. PS3) for multiplayer games
* Persistent cloud-based storage of PS3 saved games,
* Cross platform chat (PC/Mac and PS3).
In addition, those who purchase Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3 may unlock a Steam Play (PC & Mac) copy of Portal 2 at no additional cost by linking their PSN and Steam accounts.
"We made a promise to gamers at E3 that Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3 would be the best console version of the product," said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve. "Working together with Sony we have identified a set of features we believe are very compelling to gamers. We hope to expand upon the foundation being laid in Portal 2 with more Steam features and functionality in DLC and future content releases."
"We designed the Portal 2 PS3 experience to be very straightforward for gamers," said Josh Weier, project lead on Portal 2 at Valve. "PS3 gamers will be able to simply drop the Blu-Ray disc in the PS3, link to their Steam account from inside the game, and all their Steam friends (on PC and Mac) will be visible and accessible for chat and game invites."

Lombardi admits that one planned feature wasn’t ready in time. “We’re using the cloud so that you can save to Steam from your PS3, but we’re not involved enough to say that you can pick up your progress on the PC using your PS3 save – we ran out of time.
“It’s achievable, but it’s hard, so next time!”
