Portal is a new game that valve is going to release with Half Life 2 Episode 2.

It was a concept formerly made by digipen students, the game Narbacular Drop. It's a single player puzzle game, but I can see it becoming a really cool first person shooter or something. What do you guys think?
Kawasa
Wierd but might be cool.
Mynck
That looks so cool. I'm not sure that I can think like that, though. That'd require so much mental coordination.
Mario
wow that looks like a sick game(especially the last part) where do you play it? and you should add a mini demo of that in the arcade clap.gif
Timebandit
awsome. looks hard

It's not out yet, it's not in flash, but it's based on the game Narbacular Drop by digipen students.

As I said in my previous post, it's only for PC, it can't be an online game in the arcade.

Actually, it doesn't seem that hard to make to me, compared with other games with FPS graphics and physics. Computer simulations don't abide by physics unless we want them to.

So far it looks pretty cool. I can see the potential it has, like adding more strategy to shooters or adventure games, requiring more foresight and stuff.

The whole thing is that they are modifying the Half life 2 engine, which would basically need for two "cameras", one where the other portal is, and one where you are. Usually people don't do that when making game engines. Also, even though the teleportation wouldn't be too hard, it would take some more effort than just using the engine to create a game.
Mynck
Ah. Well, teleportation has been done before, and how hard could it be to have an object where, if the camera asks for information from it, it maps the image from another camera?

I think too object-oriented. laugh.gif

I played narbacular drop awhile back. It's good to see that it will be going pro.

Try to get a demo of the game instead of the full game
Mynck
But it needs to be a Flash game to be in the arcade.

Half Life is a PC game, so it would make sense that Portal is on the PC. smile.gif
