Is this confirmed, or "confirmed by valve"

Because valve also confirmed it didn't work as well. and then reconfirmed it does. and then said it wouldn't again.

Every piece of official info I've seen on it is contradictory. so i'm curious if anyone has actually tried this yet.

One of my friends told me this, he used the code on PC just to see if it works, and it did. The only difference is that steam knows this is a code that came with PS3 copy because it says "Your Portal 2 PC - PS3 Retail product code has been successfully activated" after redeeming the code on PC.

Wanted to let you know that you should avoid the official steam forums as well, I was just greeted by the ending spoiler on a thread subject, people are posting the ending on account suicide.
At first I thought it was someone joking but then I refreshed the page and the thread was gone, so I am pretty sure I just got the end spoiled, GREAT!!!!

 

[Twilight Princess]

wow, a lot of youtube portal 2 playthroughs have already been taken out, and uploaders banned. just when i thought i could observe these players for some human behaviour analysis.

 

[gdt]

Oh god I can't wait.

Just have some quick questions.

Does this have gamepad support? Will this laptop (HP Pavilion DV6 Quad Core with 6770M) run this game better than my PS3 would?

 

[devildog820]

My copy is down the street at FedEx, but they won't release it until tomorrow. Bastards.

 

[Symphonic]

Sorry if this was posted already, and this is a lot of stuff a lot of us probably already know, but he's a little throwback to pre-portal days.

Click.

I never knew the details on the individual Narbacular team members. That's unbelievably awesome. Valve continues to surprise me sometimes with their business attitude; they really are a great company.

Also, lol at "In the room was this story's fairy godmother, Gabe Newell".

 

[Dead Prince]

YAY. amazon has it shipping soon. <3 Need a day off work tomorrow to play <3

Yes for gamepad support.

e: i'm tired and can't read, yes you'll run it fine.

Is it recommended to get a used PS3 from GameStop? I can't buy a full priced one.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Is it recommended to get a used PS3 from GameStop? I can't buy a full priced one.

No. No. No. Never! Isn't it only $20 or $30 difference? Buy Portal 2 on Amazon and you get $20 gift card. Use that towards your PS3.

Usually if you get it off craigslist, it's cheaper. Just remember to test it before you buy it.

what city are you in, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Paznos]

Still debating if I should order this on Amazon, I've never played the first game

 

[Noisepurge]

don't really know how that is related to the PS3 copy but Helsinki

 

[(._.)]

Well the wait is almost over. Looks like we may get to play it at midnight est.

Just want to know how well it runs on PS3.

 

[traveler]

Ah crap. Waited too long. Amazon order is already prepping for shipping and I can't handle charging it and a copy tomorrow on my debit account. Don't have to do squat tomorrow, so I really wanted to cancel and see if I could find a similarly good deal instore to pick up in the morning. Release date shipping normally doesn't arrive at my house until 5 P.M. and I'll be busy in the evening so it might as well get here Wednesday.

You could always call the support line and schedule a pick-up rather than a delivery.

framerate is very solid, controls smooth, some jaggies all around and visual glitches like seeing portals through walls ;D

but still very enjoyable!

Steam interface works nice too.

Let's hear some performance and loading impressions. Lengthy loading screens? How is the framerate? Image quality? I'm just curious to see how it turned out.

 

[(._.)]

I think I'm going to play through the single player first before taking on coop.

performs very well, the initial load times are long but the ones between levels are nothing too long, but load times still. (around 15 seconds)

Image quality is very good and sharp.

Glitch or not? can see the orange portal through walls. But i don't know if this is actually a feature?

 

[big ander]

Same. hopefully it doesn't take me too long, but worse case scenario I'm finishing on Friday.

 

[Arucardo]

Got my retail PC copy today and registered it to my steam account, but I won't get a chance to play it before thursday.

 

[Roody]

Feature, actually. So you can tell where you've placed portals if you misplace one.

 

[traveler]

Pretty sure that seeing where your portals are is supposed to be a feature or convenience.

Not a glitch. It's a new feature.

 

[gl0w]

What a awesome OT!

Very well done.
Cant wait for the game!

just trying to score an early copy is all

thanks!

Is it L1 and R1 or L2 and R2 to shoot?

 

[BannedEpisode]

Im honestly very surprised that I have gone since thursday without seeing a single spoiler.

Thank goodness for Gaf.

 

[LProtag]

Argh, had my PS3 version sent to my house (I'm an hour away at college) so that I wouldn't play too much while I'm doing a bunch of final work.

Well, turns out I'm horribly sick and got extensions and won't be able to do much work at all. Would have been really nice to be able to play the game while I'm recovering and resting.

That is meant to be seen I believe so you can quickly tell where your portals are

sorry, mine is a promo-copy from EA.

L1 and R1, R2 is zoom, but you can swap it if you want.

So on the PC, what is "multicore rendering"? Should I enable it? Also, should I enable bloom? Is bloom only for people who can't run HDR?

Why are you asking these questions are you playing it what what what

Enable multi-core rendering if you have a processor with multiple cores. It'll put the stress on these cores evenly to provide for a smoother gameplay experience.

If you enable HDR, I think it auto enables bloom. Normally, bloom is just the bright lights on light surfaces, HDR is the automatic adjustment of the light as if looking at it with real eyes (and/or depth of field sometimes)

However, in the source engine, I myself could never understand how these options work. I enable bloom and HDR always, but it autodisables bloom next time I start the options even though it's there.

 

[sublime085]

I hope I get to play this tonight..

 

[Plasmid]

picking up my copy tomorrow, i won't get to touch it until friday though, which sucks, i wish my damn xbox would get here faster. .

And this is a different steam account then the one being used on the PS3 to play coop? and these two steam accoutns can coop together?

Whats the supported res on the back of the box. Any 1080 at all.

 

[see5harp]

Valve could probably leverage the fact that they're free on PS3 to get them free on 360. I think Criterion did this with the Burnout Paradise updates.

The Burnout Paradise updates (at least the main ones) were to add in game soundtracks and trophies. That wasn't necessary on 360. They charged for the island DLC on both PS3 and 360. I imagine any substantial levels will probably be paid content on 360, but maybe they get around it someway using a clumsy in game portal like Super Meat Boy.

 

[aeolist]

Multicore rendering on Source has been extremely buggy for me and never provided a performance boost. Maybe they updated it for Portal 2 but I'd leave it disabled.

[Forkball]

I saw a Portal 2 billboard today. Nice to see Valve pushing this game so hard. Although I'm surprised people still used billboards in 2011.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

No reviews yet?

Ahhh bollocks, 1080p always looks better on my tv ahh well.

the first game content update was free and was alongside the trophy patch. 360 got it as well. They added additional trophies/achievements. Cagney Update.

The bike update was also free and added trophies/achievements.
