Portal 2 Repulsion Gel And Aerial Faith Plate #2

News & Rumors Other

My goodness. Valve has been cranking out the trailers and screenshots for Portal 2 like crazy over the last few weeks, and while the previous were impressive and entertaining, the newest video shows off all kinds of fancy physics, graphics, and mechanics.

Portal 2 Repulsion Gel And Aerial Faith Plate #2

I’m going to be honest and say the whole ‘liquid physics’ thing looked like a hoax since the very start. The way it was presented was gimmicky, but the new trailer should be a reassurance to those doubters. The physics are absolutely amazing, and the new glass and water effects are probably the best seen in a game.

The new mechanics certainly add more depth to the puzzles, and I’m ecstatic about getting a Portal gun back in my hands.

There’s also a new Aerial Faith Plate video.

Isn’t all of this a gimmick since it’s a video game?
