yep, seen it elsewhere, looks amazing. prey beat valve to the portal idea, but valve really ran with it, made it something truly special instead of just a bonus feature.

If you like the idea of Portal then downlaod Narbacular Drop; it's a free game that forms the basis of Portal. (Valve hired the team who made it)

The main site is down due to bandwidth usage, but Planet Mirror has a copy of it. http://public.www.planetmirror.com/pub/vgpro/misc/narbacular_drop/?fl=v

Prey may have portals, but Portal actually makes them a core design feature. Just like other games had physics, but Half Life 2 was the first to make physics the entire focus of certain puzzles.

for what i know portal is an hl2 mod that will be provided with team fortress2 at the release of half life 2 episode 2

shouldn't be too long now, though i dunno if i will be forced to get ep2 to get portal

visually it seems portal is a clever use of the HL2 camera system (the see trough feel of the holes) and some kind of inertia conservation trough the holes (the inertia you use to penetrate a hole is replicated on the other side along the hole axis)

well it rock
