"Lord’s performance may or may not appear in the final game. "
We can only hope it won't.
pbakerJun 30, 2010
agreed.
kleon777Jun 30, 2010
I guess I'm in the minority here. Do people honestly think that performance sounds Portal-like? All the other robot voices sound, well, robotic.
thecheesemonkeyJun 30, 2010
I agree, I did think it was quite funny but the voice just didn't fit right

Whatever. I thought it was great.

interesting how some of my "voice didn't fit' comments got dugg up and some got dugg down.

sharp graphics
daridaveJun 30, 2010
Don't understand why people talk about graphics. It's Portal 2. It's 100% about fun gameplay. This game could be black and white at 640x480, I would still want it just as much.
For science.

95% of the valve developer team was replaced with personal chefs for Gabe just after the release of ep2.

eibieeJun 30, 2010
I'm all for this game, but I kinda wish they'd stop releasing these spoiler induced videos.
generalobviousJun 30, 2010
Um, it's PORTAL. What spoilers could there possibly be that you don't already know?
eibieeJun 30, 2010
Well, for example, we didn't hear anything about the Companion Cube until we actually played the first Portal. It wouldn't have had the same effect if we would have known about it.
millidoomsJun 30, 2010
Agreed, kinda. I'm all for them releasing videos, I just choose not watch them and you can do the same. I think it ruins the game for me. I'd rather dive in not knowing anything. And because it's from Valve, I can do this safely.
supercouilleJun 30, 2010
You can rest easy, there is more surprises to come.
(not in videos)
heelzJun 30, 2010
I'm really amazed at how much expression/personality that little ball is able to convey just through "eyelid" movements and spastic rotations.
nicnik3Jun 30, 2010
They were the ones to pioneer one of the most amazing and emotional characters in video game history.
Alyx Vance.
utopianJun 30, 2010
Gordon Freeman...
fallout22Jun 30, 2010
I see, what you did, there.
craumJun 30, 2010
Hello? D0g??? The other characters were voiced by professional voice actors. The fact that D0g could become an emotional character based on sound FX and machinima alone makes him the most amazing character next to Alyx (IMO).
tyrghastJun 30, 2010
I love that Valve protagonists are silent yet deliver an experience more lasting than say Nathan Drake and other more cinematic games.
sil369Jun 30, 2010

sweetneo85Jun 30, 2010
Mario never talked either.
Just sayin'.
railzJun 30, 2010
Blizzard gets away with both. The characters in Diablo II were silent but still good, opposite side on SC, people like Raynor got better with more speech.

I can't imagine anything better. Would fit in great on the deck of the Heart of Gold.

They just need to make it more robotic, since now it sounds too much like a person IMO
Closed AccountJun 30, 2010
I would imagine they will spice it up a bit if they do end up using it, as it was a placeholder they didnt bother
tyrghastJun 30, 2010
For a timid AI with awkward social skills, its amazing!
krnballerzzzJun 30, 2010
A little bit of voice coaching and he's got it down pat.
eastlondonmansJun 30, 2010
Dunno I thought it was a bit crap. His voice is good but it feels a bit flat...Maybe it's because I'm British so the accent isn't a novelty.
Unless he can suddenly become a good voice actor I'd rather someone else... there are a bunch of british guys with a similar sort of voice that could pull it off much better.
sambono5Jun 30, 2010
I think Richard Ayoade (Moss from IT crowd) would be awesome for it!
championchapJun 30, 2010
I think he sounds like a bad impression of Vince from The Mighty Boosh.
I really don't like the acting, that it's not "robotic", or even the dialogue.
It feels like they've tried to run with the dark-wacky theme of the first one and stretched it a bit thin.
I can see this little guy grating on my nerves very quickly.
sab0tageJun 30, 2010
I'll get this out there, I'm British. I think his voice fits really well, it could be because I've watched the video a few times, but I think he comes across as quite endearing.
I have to say it's nice that it isn't an American doing an English accent, like you sometimes get.
frostekJul 12, 2010
sambono5 on 06/30/2010 - "I think Richard Ayoade (Moss from IT crowd) would be awesome for it!"
Definitely! A brilliant idea - someone has to make this happen! :-D
newmanofactionJun 30, 2010
It will be interesting to see how this goes. Portal was such a hit due to it's uniqueness and cleverness - as well as the price. I trust Valve won't stuff this up, most of their sequels have been spot on (HL2, TF2, etc)
phi01Jun 30, 2010
Looks AWESOME!! Can't wait...

Notice they indicate it will be available on the Playstation 3 too! I thought Valve wasn't going to do the PS3 so I'm STOKED!
vintersemestreJun 30, 2010
I don't think too many people care. Portal should probably be played on a PC (or Mac I guess).
willwinterJun 30, 2010
Doesn't matter... *I* care! :-) Especially since I had given up hope of Portal 2 on the PS3 since Gabe Newell, the founder of Valve Software had previously said he hated developing for the PS3.
I don't have a PC and only a Mac laptop, so the gameplay is weak on my Mac. I'm looking forward to being able to play it on the gaming console I already own.
particleman420Jun 30, 2010
macs are kind of like pcs
willwinterJun 30, 2010
Sure, but my Mac laptop is certainly no game machine. Steam is a dog on it and I want to play this great new game on a gaming console.
Closed AccountJun 30, 2010
Have fun with terrible joystick aiming in a game that uses a lot of twitch aiming for precise portal placement while flying through the air at high speeds.
malexJun 30, 2010
"Also, Newell said that the PS3 version will "be the best console version of the game.""
This is what is known as a 'backhanded compliment.'
championchapJun 30, 2010
sleeplesson, you're so cool. I wish I was as cool as you.
"I aim with a mouse, lololol you suck because you don't!"
malexJun 30, 2010
Well, he has a valid point, doesn't he? Aiming a FPS on a console controller seems totally impossible and frustrating to me... but then again, I'm over 30.
sageerrantJul 2, 2010
I beat Portal using a laptop trackpad. Let's find something new to argue about.
championchapJul 3, 2010
It's easier and more precise, sure.. but who cares?
Some people prefer to buy a Console than a PC, some prefer a PC.
I go with a console because I hate using WASD or anything similar, it's basically a D-PAD and feels like taking a massive step backwards. The PC fans feel the same way about using a stick over a mouse.
Both points are valid.
kinseyincanadaJun 30, 2010
He was on the stage for Sonys press conference and also said that Portal 2 will be best played on the PS3, excluding PC im sure and it will have Steam support.
Closed AccountJun 30, 2010
Didn't like the voice-over. Too human.
pbakerJun 30, 2010
I'm all for british accents, but yea, not the right voice for the new character. Luckily the article said that it's a place-holding voice that will probably change.
cloudberriesJun 30, 2010
It sounded to me a bit like (but not totally like) Noel Fielding. If Noel Fielding voiced Wheatley, I think that would be special.

Richard Lord's placeholder voice is pretty damn good actually... I could also see someone like Ricky Gervais rock the VA for Wheatley
groucho88Jun 30, 2010
Totally I could see [AN ENGLISH ACTOR'S VOICE] too!
mrassmanJun 30, 2010
You're right though, Gervais would be beyond awesome for the role.
andrewdbJun 30, 2010
Eddie Izzard for Wheatley. :)
sambono5Jun 30, 2010
Moss from IT crowd for Wheatley!
wallitronJun 30, 2010
First thing I thought was Holly (Norman Lovett) from Red Dwarf.
andrewdbJun 30, 2010
That'd be awesome. :)
grimlennJun 30, 2010
He needs to sound more like GlaDOS or the turret voices for it to work, IMO. The current voice doesn't sound robotic enough.

This is the best Portal ever!

elvisjesusJun 30, 2010
who did the voice for wheatley Noel Fielding? He sounds just like Vince from the mighty boosh at times.
cloudberriesJun 30, 2010
Ha! I commented that just up there. That's not Noel Fielding, but I think he'd make a proper top Wheatley.
"I am the moon"
viralinJun 30, 2010
I was thinking the exact same thing!
the_orichalconJun 30, 2010
I like the placeholder voice. Keep it, Valve! Just vocode it a bit like GLaDOS and voila!
chrisflyJun 30, 2010
valve time.
it will be release the first week of september.
gnatzorsJun 30, 2010
343 Guilty Spark anyone?
sageerrantJul 2, 2010
HAL 9000, anyone?
redhouse67Jun 30, 2010
Anyone know a glacier close by that I can freeze myself in?
chris8535Jun 30, 2010
So this means... no episode 3 then. So the storyline goes like this? Half Life -> HL2 ->HL2:EP1 ->HL2:EP2 -> Portal -> Portal 2.
How about we just throw Team Fortress 2 in there for good measure. I defy valved to fit Team Fortress into the Half Life Universe.
phssthpokJun 30, 2010
Half Life -> HL2 ->HL2:EP1 ->HL2:EP2 -> Portal -> Portal 2.
Actually it makes sense in the time line of Half Life events. Chell woke up a short time after GlaDOS gassed everyone. So it seems to be around the time of the Seven Hour War. Gordon wakes at least 18 years after Half Life 1. In order for Chell and Gordon to meet up in episode 3, Chell needs to wake in the future, defeat GlaDOS, then escape the Aperture Science labs.
algeeeJun 30, 2010
Portal 2 takes place about 100 years after portal 1. don't ask me how.
also, its fairly clear that portal 1 takes place before the seven hour war, seeing how there is no evidence of the combine when you finally see the outside world.
lostmessiahJun 30, 2010
The Wheatley video is awesome and all, but am I alone here in saying HOLY s**t, the excursion tunnels are freaking awesome!
I'm officially no longer worried that this game won't live up to the expectations I built around my love of the first one.
culytJun 30, 2010
Does the constant "Look like X people missed the like button" make anyone else wan't to stab people in the head? More worryingly is they are getting heaps of upvotes.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
elfman9Jun 30, 2010
I just hope I can play this one. I get Cybersickness from playing Portal and Half-life 2.
xibbyJun 30, 2010
If you're playing on a CRT monitor check your refresh rate. Valve games always did this to me if the refresh rate dropped to 60Hz. Cranked it back up to and the nausea went away.
