New Video Brings Portal To Life

NaklsonofNakkl writes "The Portal series was an amazing blend of gameplay, storytelling and puzzles, which left players wishing there was a portal gun they could use in real life. A recent YouTube video brings a cinematic view on what it would look like."

    I agree with the YouTube commenter who said "Get this up on Kickstarter and make a full length movie".

    I'd chip in $50 easy. Congrats to the people involved!

    There's another portal video from earlier this year that I also found to be rather enjoying. Watching this new video reminded me of the one I saw earlier in the year.

    I liked the companion cube at the end, though. And I agree with other posters, would have been nice to see *how* she figured out where the portal gun was from the writing on the wall. Maybe that comes in the full-length release...

    What second and third part of the Matrix? That film was really cool, I always wondered why they didn't do a sequel.

    What I'd like to know is Why the fuck Hollywood don't hire these guys to make game movies instead of the shitheads that made Doom and Uwe fricking Boll? Have you seen "Escape from City 17"? those guys had NO money yet made more engaging cinema than Uwe Boll has done in his entire fricking life!

    Quite being morons Hollywood, hire guys like this that KNOW the material to do game movies. just cut them a check and let them loose. hell I bet that for half of what a Uwe boll flick costs they will make movies that are actually good!
