Now that we’ve gotten over the shock of seeing Gabe Newell on a Sony stage without the big guy spontaneously combusting in a plume of paradoxical fury, it’s time to focus on the real meat of the story – Portal 2. Valve have released the first in what they’re promising to be seven early looks of gameplay from the spatially screwy sequel. Check it out below. [Insert Internet meme about cake here]

Was linked to these. I think it’s the same as what these will be. It shows new gameplay mechanics added to Portal 2.

Good post there, I hadn’t spotted there were more videos. It looks like they have really added to the gameplay without changing the core idea, the tractor beams look especially mind boggling. There is no way I am going to be able to complete this without my brother telling me what to do!

‘I can’t do this if you’re looking’ Proper humour there. :)

There is no ‘gameplay’ as such, the title is a lie!
Kovacs
What?
There’s gameplay in that video.
Boomshanks
The title is not a lie

As far as the ending song is very good, I’m buying this! Who am I kidding? I’m just GLaD this is coming to PS3 so I can buy it! Oh and the first one was the only reason for me to buy The Orange Box!

Saw the other few a couple of days ago, and i cannot contain my excitement. Top game of 2011.

Just a pity Gordon Freeman’s adventure now seems to have fallen by the wayside.
Gimme some cake though, any day.

Within seconds that video made me laugh at loud. Can’t wait.

I really hope this game is not about carrying that little fella around the whole time… I’m glad Glados is back.
BIGAL-1992
Nope, he appears in several moments of the game, but it’s largely about puzzle solving with those portals.
KeRaSh
So it’s back to the basics. Lovely!

I’m fairly sure the English voice is Noel Fielding
from The Mighty Boosh… in case its not been said
already…which in my opinion is inspired.
AG2297
hmmm .. wouldent agree with you there im afraid. Dosnt sound like him to me.
BIGAL-1992
Does anyone else think of the brit in Uncharted 2 when he speaks? Sounds familiar to me.
PoorPaddy89
Definately not Noel. Don’t think it’s the guy in Uncharted 2 (can’t remember his name either). That was a little more forced accent-wise
PoorPaddy89
Oh yeh, it’s Harry Flynn. And I definately didn’t have to google it … :P
GodDarnKat
Ah, yes… You were right and I wrong, I guess
it may have been a combination of watching the
clip on my mobile and a late night dream of how
cool it would be to actually be Noel Fielding.
Its going to be hard to compete with the vocal
talent of Glados… I still love the finale song,
so its going to be hard to top that.
I really hope they do.

Final song is written by Jonathan Coulton, look up some of his other music, there’s a lot of very funny, very gamer-centric songs on his albums. Mandelbrot Set is awesome sauce.
