I like how they're improving upon the Prey portal thing and making a sweet puzzle game out of it. Sadly though, most people call it a rip off just like they did with the Doom 3 expansion.

A ton of people are comparing this to Prey. It's nothing like prey. Prey had portals and that was the only resemblence. The portals in prey are not controlled by the user... not to mention prey is a shooter, where as portal is a strict portal puzzle game. You sir, are wrong. But I <3 you anyway.

Actually... its not a prey rip off.. The people who made it, wrote a game called Narbacular Drop for their senior year DigiPen project and were then hired by valve to write and extend their game on the source engine.  They came up with the idea.. not Prey..


Check out this brief game to see what you can expect but in a much more refined version.

Sirus: Wait, you made the recovering alcoholic bring beer?
WDF: This shouldn't surprise you, this is me we're talking about... It'll be a test.

The way the portal engine works though has been in development for a long, long time.... by 3drealms of course. Assuming we're talking about how the way portals work now, not the games'  gameplay.

The video in steam media is way better quality..
The part that I think looks really tight is when he comes to a turn in a hallway, and on the far end of the hallway is a turret. He shoots a portal really quickly on the far wall behind the turret, then hides. Then he shoots a portal on the ground right next to him and jumps through, and grabs the turret.
