The fact there is still no Portal 3 should be considered a crime.

[@rootbear9742]

The 3 is forbidden by valve you should ask for portal 2 episode 1

[@mikedelvalle931]

I would love a Portal 3 game, but right now I'd settle for Portal 2 being on the PS store.

[@youssefabd-albary5565]

​@mikedelvalle931 nice joke 😂

[@Soguwe]

The forbidden number? _NEVAR!!_

[@dekaw9138]

Portal 3 confirmed

[@benjamingardner3314]

The REAL ending credits song was a banger, you take that back. The digital aria was just a cherry on one of the richest game cakes I've had.

[@Gamer3427]

I personally prefer "Want You Gone" to "Still Alive" as far as a song to actually listen to, but you have to admit that he wasn't wrong when he said that "Still Alive" is the more memorable one.

[@StudioInkblot]

​@@Gamer3427That is the right answer

[@theneoreformationist]

@@Gamer3427 That would be funny... if it weren't so sad

[@zapadap1328]

What cake? There's no cake

[@Burnlit1337]

Not sure if Portal 2 did it first but it made me really appreciate color coded subtitles. Idk why some games released in this decade still don't have it.

[@threemooseqateers9689]

I think that most of the COD games have had it to some degree but not to the extent of portal. That would be super cool to see in other games definitely

[@soldierinsane2689]

Most games don’t have as dull of a color palette, in more dynamic settings it may be hard to read or ugly. I agree tho but that’s just my two cents

[@midgeot]

Half Life 2 did it in 2004, idk anything before that.

[@BenoHourglass]

@@threemooseqateers9689 Blue/Green is ally, yellow is neutral, red is enemy. Shephard's name actually changes from yellow to red once his betrayal is confirmed.

[@wardenm]

Sadly that sort of thing is likely a late stage polish sort of task. These days devs are pushed into shipping out half finished products, with huge patches already on day one, that they never even get to the polishing stage.

[@ballerswagbro9k611]

Still one of the best physics game after all this time I miss good villains like Glados

[@slyceth]

I actually make portal 2 steam workshop maps that use only new models and textures and make every map basically a new game nothing related to portal. Can you do an honest game trailer of my favorite "Lost in portal city"?

[@heisen-bones]

GLaDOS is mommy asf

[@adamH.1]

Wheatley was the villain in Portal 2, dunno why everyone considers Glados to be one even tho she let us go in the end

[@jceggbert5]

Maybe portals are what they add to BotW 3

[@isaacbonnell8163]

S

[@manvslife271]

Your next line is: I can't believe they didn't do Portal 2 until now

[@bluujelly]

I can't believe they didn't do Portal 2 unt...wait..huh..whaaaaaaaaat?

[@lucifermagne7458]

Did you just pull a Joseph Joestar?

[@zachbrancato1970]

Well, technically, they did this game already. Their original Portal trailer covered both games at the same time.

[@rfichokeofdestiny]

It’s such a good game that this honest trailer kind of falls flat.

[@kingsleycy3450]

Portal 2 also has the only funny “when life gives you lemons” joke

[@probium2832]

This trailer also has the only time Skibidi Toilet is funny. Before Skibidi existed before Gmod existed...

[@shikhar.awasthi]

I don't remember anything about the game except the feeling when the moon slowly came into focus and I realised what I had to do. Epic

[@KonserwowaPuszka]

This is actually a 10/10 game.

[@DanGamingFan2846]

This is such an amazing game. The humor, characters, and intricate puzzles are all so much fun, and far more engaging than the first game. It's perhaps the best game of all time, made by Valve at least.

[@gymnodinium9]

One cannot find a single flaw in this game, I tried. Its a true 10/10 and I cannot say that of any other game even if I love them.

[@timbonanno]

Played it for the first time this year and was *shocked* at how great it is in 2023. Truly an all time masterpiece.

[@trk20.]

Yeah, even the graphics hold up to today's standards. Weird to think it came out so long ago.

[@anothergenericyoutubename]

I got a friend of mine to play it for the first time ever with me in co-op. i immediately sent this to them and told them to watch the co-op segment, lol

[@RavenStarMedia]

Honest Trailers: Surprise! We're doing it now! I actually had to do a double-take because I was so surprised you haven't done this before now. Portal 2 is one of my favorite games ever and I'm thrilled to see you doing it now!

[@Volvagia1927]

Their original stab at this was a zoom out look at both games. I like that they're giving Portal 2 a more detailed look over.

[@logannewman4532]

This is incredibly well timed. Yesterday I was banned from Facebook for (in a conversation about this game) quoting Cave Johnson. Yep. The system thinks I was threatening arson.

[@frosti8787]

we've all been there

[@thomasboys7216]

Facebook - keeping the world safe from lemon-wielding pyromaniacs.

[@vbscript2]

Ah, gotta love FB's moderation. They won't take down actual scammers, but if you make a joke, you'll get banned. They banned a guy I know for making a comment on a post in a group that he himself runs that referred to a point-of-sale system by the common acronym used for point-of-sale systems.

[@louisberry4403]

One of the best games ever made. The ending gives me the feels everytime. Epic games like this don't get made anymore.

[@Akudi]

It is pretty funny that Chel appears to have somehow DE-AGED between Portal 1 & 2. The trailer for Portal 2 with her in it makes her look really cool too. Cooler than the player actually trying to do the puzzles. 😑

[@iinvaderrand]

Love the dark place reference. Such a underrated show.

[@Ysemor]

good gameplay, good characters, good story, twinge of mystery, good humour, especially in The Part Where He Kills You

[@antney7745]

Is that the part where he kills you?

[@konradbachnio5812]

@@antney7745 Yeah, that's the part

[@Ysemor]

@@antney7745 yea its The Part Where He Kills You

[@dreadkaiser1058]

Portal 2 still had the best trailers ever. Cave Johnson should have been in marketing

[@Coolman13355]

The Turrets promo I still rewatch occasionally.

[@Vladimir_Kv]

He was. He was so good at it that he somehow talked mid-20th-century american government into giving him a contract to develop portal technology while having a company that previously made _shower curtains._

[@antoniyneykov914]

Fantastic game. Hopefully we will have more often games build with such love.

[@carsilk2492]

For those who don’t know, that was a clip of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, and you really need to go check it out👌

[@chrish3126]

I love love love the two Portal games. I especially love that if you play two player in Portal 2 it's a completely different game from the one player mode. Please give us Portal 3 already Valve!

[@Vincent-2057]

Go play reloaded. It's the best were gonna get and it's amazing!

[@Vollification]

This game was just pure fun in evey aspect. Still so sad that Valve just did the "Going out to buy cigarettes." and never came back 😭

[@nearandfarexplorers5125]

So happy to see a follow up to the last Portal honest trailer like a decade ago

[@zorn3255]

I'm convinced that Gabe Newell can't count to 3 and that's why none of the games that Valve makes can ever have more than one sequel.

[@reverse_engineered]

That riff on Elon was spot on! Portal is still my favorite game of all time, but Portal 2 did an excellent job of following up on it. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@32BitJunkie]

What is the "thing that will eventually kill you" tho

[@ronbloke9912]

10/10 for using that vid clip from Garth Marenghi Darkplace. The best 80s tv parody/horror/comedy/hospital show ever made that hardly anyone watched. You're going to have to do an honest trailer for it to show it to the world!

[@deadcard13]

Dude! Roshi obliterated the moon before Piccolo got an arc.

[@coralroper6876]

The thing about Cave Johnson's lines is that you can completely imagine Stanford Pines saying most of them in all seriousness.

[@Harper_1984]

If you can do Portal 2 even though you already touched on it in the first one, you can do Mass Effect 2 and 3.

[@nephene00]

portal 2's first play throw was seriously one of the best play throws of all time! I seriously yelled "NO glados!"when i got to the end. Then few moments later i went: "oh glados..."

[@DespairAndRepair]

"Port Port Goes to the Moon" = Greatest reference from my childhood ever! 😂

[@revo1verrock]

Until a few days ago I wouldn't have got it. Now it was the highlight of a great vid

[@2WhiteAndNerdy]

No mention of the hidden radio that plays "Exile/Vilify" by the National? Hits you RIGHT in the feels... Hard.

[@DucNguyen0131]

Do a Honest Game Trailer for Exoprimal.

[@reestophers]

Multiple videos throwing out that Muskrat shade, love it

[@madsjacobsen2551]

It's one thing making an honest game trailer of a well-known game but it takes skill to make an honest game trailer of an obscure game like no straight roads

[@chloemchll3774]

“If you like Metroidvanias but think most are too straightforwardly laid out and don’t have enough backtracking or hidden endings, and you like Soulslikes because dying to the same boss 300x is fun for you, then have we got the game for you…”

[@HIT14MAN2]

Say, "I can't believe we still haven't done a Honest Trailer for Hyperdimension Neptunia."

[@stax6092]

Then do a Trailer for Hyperdimension Neptunia. :)

[@Moustache_D_Luffy]

Too funny, I'm currently working on the Switch port of Portal 2 (and absolutely loving it). Talk about timing!

[@blaster915]

NDA not in effect, or you just don't care about the job? 😂

[@TheCulturalBomb]

I STILL remember all the people trashing Stephen Merchant after he was cast because they liked the voice of the Valve Employee. Merchant was a perfect fit.

[@dersteffen5948]

Give me the chills with the line "Welcome to PlayPaintChill. You just gained honor +2 for following us ! ".

[@kainingyao7873]

Don't forget how Cave Johnson is the Karen of all Karens since he demands to see not just any old manager, but LIFE'S MANAGER. It'd be more appropriate to call him Karen Johnson.

[@whoeveruwantittobe]

For Portal 3 all they would need to do is make a Super Mario Maker but for Portal and set the fans loose on it. You guys would make some excellent content given the opportunity

[@julianiskool1255]

portal 2 has an online level editor

[@XenonThree]

Portal 2's community workshop on Steam has actually had a super dedicated community throughout the years! Hundreds of people have basically been make entire games over there for a decade, along with thousands of normal chambers. I suggest you check it out!

[@JD1010101110]

Garth Marengi Dark Place was a work of genius

[@CarlDraper]

Came in to comment this. Surprised to see it in this vid :D

[@Subject295]

Not to mention playing around with the game's commands in co-op mode is funny as hell! Gravity 9999999 = instant death LOL

[@mikdan8813]

Ah yes, the classic puzzle game that makes you cry. How about another classic? Conker's Bad Fur Day!

[@HappyDaze4200]

My Bf saw me basically giving up by the last 10 puzzles, My brain was fried!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Love these trailers!❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheLazyDog2011]

say something like "this penguin is cool because he likes pizza" whilst an image of a penguin eating a pizza slice is shown

[@AhmedEnglish-tf1gd]

This game was the only one that gave me some genuinely funny times playing it with my brother

[@gatorb8]

Yo that ending credit song slaps, I jam to it still.

[@Technodreamer]

I think it's about time for me to replay these games.

[@melissataube3832]

How was this not already a thing

[@sawdust8691]

This is undoubtedly one of the best games ever made.

[@kirkygirl]

I'd like the Voice Guy to say: "make sure you treat your friends and family well. You never know what diabolical world plans you might just avert."

[@Thy_Punishment_Is_OOF]

"The cake is a lie" The cake is a valve game with a number 3

[@nerveless383]

perfect timing just finished portal 2 yesterday

[@orly6435]

I literally bought portal 2 yesterday, and now this comes out? What a coincidence...

[@theonewhowill4903]

3:45 Wrong, that was not the end credit song. "Want you gone" is on par if not better

[@Piggy24]

Please say “I will be your Killer Fish for the evening.”

[@InMaTeofDeath]

Missed opportunity with the Cave Johnson joke the CEO of Oceangate Stockton Rush fits him far better than Elon does.

[@YoungSlim51]

"Port port goes to the moon" Holy shit I didn't think I'd see a Humongous Entertainment reference in the wild lol

[@ChillinWithTheCapuchins]

Man I feel so much nostalgia for this game!

[@Kwink]

Since you’re doing classics, let‘s have that Maniac Mansion Honest Trailer!!!

[@joermnyc]

Say: “Help I opened a portal from the floor of my soundbooth to the ceiling of my soundbooth and I’m stuck in an endless loop!”

[@eldeano9964]

Garth marengi and firefly references, nice.

[@banzaibobA7V]

I choose to believe the fan theory that companion cubes contain the remains of previous testing candidates.

[@themanhimselfsunny]

this has been waiting in my brain forever

[@aguynamednathan]

I'm surprised that at 1:31 they made a reference to a show so radical, so risky, so dangerous, so goddamn crazy...

Portal 1 and 2 are some of the games I wish I could forget and experience new again.

[@adiveler]

Please say "BANANA FOR THE BANANA GOD, MANGO FOR THE MANGO THRONE!"

[@rineilmandre5540]

Still Alive reference, nice.

[@ArawnOfAnnwn]

Do Honest Trailers for the Simcity series and Hyperdimension Neptunia!

[@Nulono]

The Turret Opera was not the credits song; "Want You Gone" was.

[@itsjustme8947]

Thank you guys for choosing my 'say this'! This is my last week of chemo! Wish me luck!

[@jovialjoe6646]

Would've loved a cameo of JK Simmons ranting about Honest Trailers

[@MonsterBandage]

Hearing that from such a epic and affirming voice is just what we needed to heal the internet

[@Spida37]

The fact you used Garth Marenghi Stephen Merchant is so awesome its beyond words!

*Insert Gladys song here*

[@ReaLifeHDchannel]

Oh wow. I’m playing that right now.

[@godatute371]

Oh the rating is back nice

[@TheRealSonicBeats]

I have fond memories of Portal 2. One of the first cross-platform games between the PS3 and PC, and the day it launched, is the day the 2011 PSN outage happened. I couldn't play Black Ops so I spent an entire month running through this game. And it was the single best gaming experience I've probably ever had

[@ahmadamir803]

We need triangle strategy now!!!

so good to see some garth meranghis dark place!
