Valve has outed a new Portal 2 trailer video. This one’s in an informercial style and attempts to flog us the Aperture Science turrent.
It’s a great video and left us eager to get our hands on not just Portal 2 but on a turret of our very own. If only the darn things were real. Check out the new Portal 2 trailer after the break and let us know whether you’re going to snap up a copy of Portal 2 when it hits the UK on April 21…
In today’s gaming climate of big-budget first-person shooters and third-person adventures it’s not often you’ll hear of a feature length puzzler being among the year’s most wanted games. Portal 2 isn’t just any game. Portal 2 is the follow up to developer Valve’s brilliant original mind-numbing Portal adventure – a title held in universal acclaim. We spent some time with Portal 2 ahead of its April 22 release. Read on for our hands-on impressions.
The week has finally come to a close, we’ve wrapped up MWC 2011 and now it’s time to come full circle. In today’s US Update we lay out Portal 2 Playstation Move support, update the UK Mortal Kombat release date, reveal the HTC Desire S pricing and more.
UPDATE: Valve has since reached out to quash Faliszek’s comments, saying they were lost in translation. Sorry guys, no PlayStation Move support after all.
On track for an April release (fingers crossed), Valve’s Portal 2 will feature “complete PlayStation Move support”. While the capability is not full integrated yet, Valve is looking to offer PS3 gamers some consolation for missing out on Left 4 Dead. Did we mention Portal 2 for PS3 allows cross-platform play with PC gamers via Steam?
The Portal 2 joy is high today with the news that Sony and Valve have teamed up to give you the PC and Mac version free if you plump for it on your PS3. Link your PlayStation Network and Steam accounts and you’ll be able to play with PC and Mac users with your game data stored in the cloud. You’ll also get a free copy of the PC and Mac version of the game in your Steam account. There’s no excuse not to waste all your hours playing Portal 2 now! We’re sure your boss will understand when you’re caught playing it at work…

Alert! Portal 2 is delayed. Again. Valve has announced that the Portal sequel will now be emerging sometime around April 18 2011 on Mac, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. The game has been pushed back two months which Valve says in its typically funny was is “the shortest delay in Valve’s proud tradition of delays”. In fact the email release about the Portal 2 delay is almost entertaining enough to get us to forgive Valve for its tardiness. It says the delay “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.” Phew!
Out April 2011 | £TBC | Portal 2
