Valve's Portal demonstration


Recommended Posts

Katamari-vibes, serious Katamari vibes. They probably were eating the same shrooms. :D

 

Very impressive demonstration. I wonder if we will see something akin in Episode 2.

There was a excerpt of a similar situation in the demonstration. So, yeah.

 

Although I assume there is a reset feature if this game follows the one-room-one-puzzle-formula. Otherwise you're forced to reload.

It wouldn't work on many of Half Lifes current levels -- allowing one to get outside where the level designer intends results in some pretty ugly scenery. The level designs would have to all be completly enclosed, like seen in the movie, or very open ended like Ovlibion.

 

Making an FPS with free roaming could be done, but it would be a very different experience, not like the Half Life games at all.

Well, that probably depends on whether the player character really has a model in the game or not. If I recall alright, HL 2 didn't have one.

It's unusual for the charcter to be rendered in game, as it's typically not necessary (this is why you don't cast a shadow in Doom 3).

 

It's becoming more common though. Well, unless they find a way to cast shadows in games like Farcry in a different way.

Body awareness(to use the common gameplay term) would allow things like your weight affecting enviroment, e.g you could portal yourself over one of those cannons and topple it with your body. It would also look nifty. :p
