Spoiler (highlight to read):
In HL2: Ep 2, they (Mossman finds it, sends a message to Eli, Kleiner, Gordon, Alyx etc, is attacked by Combine shortly after) talk about the Borealis, an icebreaker which was found in the Arctic that houses a secret experiment relating to teleportation. The area you find was the dry dock the Borealis was once located at before the teleportation device sent the whole ship to the Arctic. Not really as big of a deal as I thought it was going to be, tbh.

StephenTotilo — The makers of such acclaimed single-player video games as Portal and Half-Life 2 want all of their future games to support connected, non-solo gaming, in some way, at all levels.

That assertion first appeared in the Final Hours of Portal 2, journalist Geoff Keighley's recent behind-the-scenes chronicle about Valve's newest game. It's an assertion he told me he heard directly from Valve founder Gabe Newell and the company's project manager Erik Johnson.

"Portal 2 will probably be Valve's last game with an isolated single-player experience," Keighley wrote in Final Hours, "What this all means is something Newell is still trying to figure out."
Keighley told me that he considered the comment "curious," noting that the quality of the solo-only main campaign of Portal 2 was a fantastic piece of work. (I've checked with Valve on this, but they didn't reply by press time.) The signs that solo-only modes are on their way are there, not just from within Valve but all around the pioneering games company

So Ep 3 and HL3 will have MP? Fuck that.

He is worth billions and says he loves going to work every day because he gets to work with the best people in the business and let's them do what they do best.

Gabe's pretty cool and he's set up a pretty interesting company with Valve. Aside from a few key managerial positions no-one has any set role at Valve, that's why the credits in Valve games are just an alphabetical list. It lets creatives just do stuff and experiment with things which I imagine would be an awesome working environment. There would also be no need for office politics which is nice. They hire anyone who interest them who they think can bring something to the team be they programmers, designers, writers or anything else.

Feel sorry for Gabe? Hell no, he is in the rare position of getting to do what he loves with the people he wants to do it with while earning millions. Is he a massive geek? Sure. Does he look like an old lesbian? Yeah, sometimes. So what?

That being said the Peter Jackson route may be an idea for him:

Don't be hating. He's got a John Candy thing going on in that getup.

I agree with Ty though...he should drop a few pounds if he doesn't want to die early.

Buying Portal 2 on PS3 unlocks Portal 2 on PC too?

WTF?

Does this mean you can play Portal 2 cross platform on CO-OP?

Ty: Mass Media Casualty; +2,398|6992|Noizyland

Nope. It just gives PS3 owners the option to play on PC as well. It's part marketing, part because-Sony-worked-with-Valve-on-this-one and part apology for the disaster the PS3 Orange Box was.

Ehrm, what?
Portal 2 DOES indeed support cross-platform gameplay between PC, Mac and PS3.
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_art … 8#features

What you can't do however is, to play cross-platform between PC and PS3 with "yourself", if you activate the free PC key to the same Steam account that you linked to your PS3.

I think Steam on PS3 would definitely give the PS3 a lot of needed help.

Aye yeah i've been reading more on this, you can play both formats simultaneously but you just need to create a second profile on the PS3 and a second Steam account and link those two together and then you can play against each other in the same room, on a lan effectively.

I think i'm going to buy this on PS3 once PSN goes live again, it'll be for co-op with my good friend who is a PS3 user and when he comes down to stay we can play on my home network.

If i have this correct, i can get Portal 2 on PS3 for £35, Game will sell it to you for £4.99 if you trade in selected games with the MJ Experience being one of them, which i can buy from Tesco for £30.
