Wesley Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm actually surprised how little difference this has made. 5 hours... Hum... Or 12? http://cpucount.zapto.org/ Although I am happy that this means it's tomorrow morning it's released. I'll coming into work extra-extra earlier to play it.

Wesley Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm hoping that the time goes down by another couple of hours so I can play it before work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I will lol my face off if my 360 copy arrives tomorrow morning with me not having contributed anything to this crazy marketing scam scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Tbf, the tie ins were pretty awesome. Having GLaDOS slag you off while you fail at Audiosurf was pretty amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) I'm not sure why but I thought you meant an actual real life portal. Now I'm sad. I wonder what it all means. (The GLaDOS thing) EDIT: Wow, didn't notice the potatoes were sky rocketing downward. Cool. Edited April 18, 2011 by Daft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm going to bed now. Portal 2 will be there for me when I wake up. Digital distribution is glorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It's fucking awesome! Never laughed so much while playing a game. Smerch is so awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Played it for an hour. So far, so bloody enjoyable. Going to pace myself a bit. (I wouldn't normally but I have essays to write. :\ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 PS3/360 Comparison: http://www.lensoftruth.com/head2head/head2head-portal-2-screenshot-comparison/ Thats a rediculous difference in quality. Almost makes you think Valve purposely made the 360 version crapper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Common, it's not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 The roll over shots show it best and I think thats a much bigger difference than you would usually see in multiplatform games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I've always felt that comparisons between PS3/360 builds of games were too minute to really mater at all. The important difference are the features. Obviously 360 owners get boned this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Oh yeah I agree, its just that this time the difference just seemed bigger than usual. Either way it doesnt matter as im getting the PS3 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caris Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Wow, this is probably the first multiplatform title I've seen that has AA on the PS3 version and not on it's 360 counterpart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 The comparison is a disappointing for 360. This looks terrible - http://www.lensoftruth.com/wp-content/gallery/h2hssc_portal2/xbox-360-rollover_03.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 There's no way the 360 version looks like that. That looks like a 640x480 PC game from 1998. I'm not saying the PS3 version doesn't look better, there's no doubt that Valve have gone out of their way to make the PS3 version the must-have version, but those screenshots are poor representations.

Shorty Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) So my 360 copy didn't arrive yet (not surprised) Is it bad that I'm really tempted to download the PC version and then return the 360 version when it arrives Edit: Just realised the 360 version has local co-op, so scrap that, I'll wait Edited April 19, 2011 by Shorty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 One thing I have to say though... I have noticed that there are a couple of jarring elements in the Source engine. The animation, of myself I caught in a Portal, were a bit... naff... And some water effects were just... bad. It doesn't ruin it or anything and I wish I didn't notice it. But I did. Annoying.
