I'm stuck somewhere in the Itch chapter now. First time I've truly been stumped. I need to pop it back in and try and figure it out.

Any other news on this front? It's been 3 months since it was announced and summer is 1/3 over.

Not the news you're looking for, but I found it, err, interesting. BTW : I tried this set up out at CES. It's light, but wired and not at all intuitive. Inferior to a Move in almost every way, and the Move isn't anything special to begin with. They won't sell two dozen at this price.

Portal 2 DLC Arrives, But You Can’t Have It
By Alec Meer on June 17th, 2011 at 11:34 am.


(Well, not unless you spend $140 on a new controller). This is all a bit odd, and slightly infuriating too. Remember Razer’s Hydra motion controller for PC, and how it was going to have a special version of Portal 2 created for it? Well, that’s happened. The wavy-wandy gamepaddy, PS Move-y er…thing is now being sold via Steam in the US, for the utterly absurd price of $140. $140! You could buy multiple Moves for that. However, it also includes access to 10-level Portal 2 DLC designed specifically for its six-way air-gesturing.

This first expansion pack sounds pretty ambitious, involving as it does Portal rotation and, most excitingly, object rescaling: “Resize custom weighted cubes to harness their size and mass properties to crush turrets, bridge gaps, and solve puzzles in a new and exciting way.”

Whaaat?

Irritatingly, there doesn’t appear to be a way to get hold of this pack (or the controller) in the UK, and apparently most of it is only playable if you have a Hydra. Have any USers or IP fudgers been able to grab it at all?

I don’t doubt, however, that someone will crack open and share those new maps with us. I find it hard to imagine a mouse couldn’t achieve the kind of precision Razer claim Hydra can do, but then I haven’t tried one so I could well be as wrong as Ian McWrong, who was born on the first of Wrong Nineteen-Wrongety-Wrong.

The DLC was apparently developed by ‘Sixense Studios’ rather than Valve, but hell, it’s still the first Portal 2 DLC (other than those robo-hats). I’m quite sure it’s not the aforementioned, Valve-made and free-to-all DLC, though. That would never be released with no song and dance like this.

If you want to buy the Hydra via Steam, this link lets you do it – but you’ll get an error page if you’re not an American.

Also: when did Steam become a hardware store too? (Edit: oh, OK, yonks ago).

Oh, right, I remember reading that stuff last month. I guess I didn't think that was the free DLC they were talking about. At least, I hope not.

Free or not, I need some more Portal!

So I'm late to this game, but Portal 2 kicks all sorts of ass. I'm about 75% complete and am pretty proud to have not needed any help so far. I was hoping there would be dlc by now... but those hopes seem dashed.

make sure you find a friend to do coop...one who has not played it because it will ruin the exp....I found the coop to be better than the single player...

Re: Portal 2 PS3/PC/360
 
I am almost always disappointed in DLC...

Here we have free dlc that I would have paid for...amazing fun..

took us about 90 minutes to maybe 2 hours...in that range.....9 new levels...new story...new voice work...great ending...

I still wish the puzzles were a bit harder, but lots of fun to do coop...

on another note, how do you get the new free addon through steam? Can't seem to start it in game and I thought it auto-updated it in

If this is the PC version, do you have a folder called portal2_dlc1 under steamapps/common/portal2? The size of the folder should be about 615MB.

Isn't the dlc coop only?

The guy who made the Portal gun last year has a HL2 gravity gun this year up for auction. Pics in the link.

Re: Portal 2 PS3/PC/360
 
I'm obviously behind the times, but I thought I'd resurrect this because I just finished the single-player. Really fun game and very entertaining as well. The voice acting is top notch and I especially love Stephen Merchant in this. I actually started with co-op and the puzzles there are inherently more complex, so the single-player seemed relatively easy by comparison. I can't say I ever really got particularly stumped in single player, but this kind of puzzler is also in my "wheelhouse" compared to just about any other kind of game (shooter, action, etc) where I am astoundingly mediocre. Aside from not having a ton of replay value, this one just about has the total package.

Great game. I never did play the DLC though.
