I can not POSSIBLY describe in words how AMAZING THIS GAME WILL BE!!! Seriously, everything from the new style to the fact that you wake up in a small room, or the amazingly animated mechanical arms.

[spoiler]I am most impressed with the arms, but as many have said, Portal 2 is an actual game. It gets models instead of func_movelinear/func_door/func_door_rotating pistons.

While they look awesome I am also glad VALVe kept the pistons too. (excursion funnel video)

However, do not go crazy over it just yet for a few reasons; One is if you get too hyped up over it you may make impossible expectations.(even unconciously) Two is, VALVe likes to pull fast ones, Beta Portal looked alot different then Portal. Even the close-to-release videos had better lighting/spiral portals (I personallty didn't like those so i am gladd they were removed.) so maybe they will do the same here, though I would hope not.[/spoiler]

Well first of all, my expectations ARE high, but not too high. I know that I'm going to love this game, and mapping for it, as many others will. But I do agree with the "pulling a fast one" thing. If you look in the video, they've already changed the design of one of the new mechanics, anyone notice it? It's the aerial faith plates, no longer is it an arm with a glass panel, now look at them. You can see them in the video at the co-op part, or the part where random objects are being bounced towards the player.

[spoiler]I noticed that, now it looks almost like one of those ironing boards that pop out of the wall in some houses, exept way more high-tech and motor powered.[/spoiler]

TBH, I believe if the person clicked on this subsection and then this topic (which BTW has a warning) they have accepted there will be spoilers.

And I'm pretty sure that there is an announcement that says "use spoilers", as well as a section in the forum rules that says to always use spoiler tags when posting spoilers.

Moral of the story: use spoilers.
