New stuff from PAX demoing the addition of co-op gameplay. Looks like it is gonna be a lot of fun. The idea of having four portals lends itself to some pretty wilds puzzles.
It's looking absolutely gorgeous as well, and the team gestures look fun, hah.

I have nowhere near the specs to play this, but then again, I just played the original last summer, so I guess I can wait a few years to play this as well. Looks really good though.

I pre-ordered it. This will be the first new game I have bought in over a year. Also worth noting, the guy at Gamestop said the PS3 preorder comes with a code to play the PC version. I don't have a PS3 and I don't care about other people, so I just got the PC game. Now, who's down for co-op?

I've preordered it too for PC!
I'll happily join you in some co-op action!

and valve will reveal some story details before the games release:
Quote:
There's still a lot of confusion over the details of Portal 2's plot and how Aperture Science ended up in the condition it's now in. Valve will be revealing some information soon that explains what happened between the first Portal and its sequel, which is set "further down the line" in the Half-Life universe.
"We're actually going to release something that we're not talking about yet that will give a little bit of the story of the interim time," Valve writer Erik Wolpaw told Kotaku. "We're doing that before release." It's currently unclear how much time has passed since the first game, which took place between the first two Half-Life games.
In Portal 2 players will again play as Chell, who was put in stasis following the events of the first game. (Valve changed the original's ending post-release so she would be dragged away by something with a robotic voice.) A new character is being revealed at PAX East: The founder of Aperture Science, Cave Johnson. He's voiced by J.K. Simmons, joining The Office and Extras co-creator and co-writer Stephen Merchant, who will voice the character of Wheatley.
Portal's connection with the Half-Life games isn't just the ramblings of message board posters -- Valve admits it's true -- but don't expect it to be especially pronounced. Wolpaw made a comparison with how The X-Files had mythology episodes throughout the series that dealt with an interconnected storyline in addition to standalone episodes that were completely unrelated to the rest.
"We tried to keep as light a touch about it as we did in Portal 1," Wolpaw said. "Fans of Half-Life will notice some things, but if you haven't played Half-Life they'll just kind of pass right by you. You're not going to see Gordon tromping through the facility."
Portal 2 hits PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on April 18.
I would get this - if it was on Wii or I had a decent PC and/or any of the HD consoles. The first one if freckin fantastic. Just got voted best game of all time over at gamesradar as well.

Saw that. Refreshing to see a fresh face on the "greatest games" circuit.
So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.
