[@Dan_K_Meme]

Same!

[@tTaseric]

I think it's fine. Yeah it's a continuity error, but I like it. The entire point of this section is that Glados is essentially 'reversing' your escape, now that she's caught onto your tricks. By going through the same areas, but Chell's escape routes are simply gone, it adds to the despair that the first half of Chapter 2 is about. I'm probably just taking it too seriously though, great video and very cool mod

[@hangry3102]

I think everyone likes the despair of having no escape routes. And the mod serves as a reminder that there _used_ to be escape routes, but they are now destroyed/blocked off. To me the entire point of the section gets conveyed good enough even with less detail than the mod. But the mod actually points out these dilapidated areas and lack of escape routes to the player, which are completely forgotten about by most players in the base game. It adds way more despair when the environmental story telling is being fully utilized, especially when it comes to continuity details. Otherwise its like that old saying "out of sight, out of mind" which is not really what the intention of this section was. It was just one of many Valve mishaps, but fans will headcannon or justify these mishaps regardless because it's equally fun to connect the dots.

Maybe the continuity reason for why the escape for Portal 1 is walled is that she saw you go through that room and walled it, while you were still on your way to her. The reason she would have walled it is in case of future test subjects, and she was confident that she would kill you.

I guess it's an art style thing. But Portal: Alive & Kicking is coming out soon, which is a full remake of Portal 1 in Portal 2, accounting for some retcons

[@ccoeltrains]

They may not be exactly the same rooms. I do believe it is hinted at that there are many, many testing tracts, many of which (probably) either shared identical test chamber designs, or very similar designs. perhaps, the ruined testing tract that Chell backtracks through in portal 2 is not in fact the one that she was in during portal, but a very similar one?

[@wta1518]

There are probably multiple testing tracks. Do you really think Aperture would only have one testing track? Are Portal fans really this dumb?

[@_TheDoctor]

Now I wanna see a mod that adds a modernized version of the Portal 1 GLaDOS model into Portal 2 with properly scaled proportions, updated textures, and better rigging. If executed well, I think it would look really cool, since Portal 1's GLaDOS design is how she looked in the comic too so in theory thats the "canon" design. Would love to see the GLaDOS wake up cutscene with the Portal 1 design swapped in.

[@CaptainNomae]

I think these 2 continuity errors can be explained by the fact that nanobots are constantly repairing the facility, and it's possible that these two changes were made before that section of the facility was completely abandoned. It's also possible these same nanobots tried to repair GLaDOS unsuccessfully, resulting in her different appearance in Portal 2.

[@СвободныйЧеловек-я6я]

It would be cool, if there was an escape sequence from Portal 1, and if we decided to escape again, GLADoS would provide us with some sarcastic lines and after a few maps, we would just fall into chamber 19 and continue the normal walkthrough.

[@SparkTheKirin]

I like this, but to explain away a lot of things, GLaDOS doesn't operate all of Aperture. The Announcer system and the Nanobot line maintain parts of the facility, and both can make changes and move things. (The elevators are maintained by announcer, the nanobots can rebuild testing tracks) it's not unlike that at least a few changes were made by the nanobots as they began using/reusing vertdoor systems.

Oh damn, never noticed that was the incinerator from the first game! But to me, one of the biggest continuity errors is the fact that glados is back in her chamber instead of in the parking lot. I guess the best explanation is the ground caved in and she fell back in. However, we do know the original ending of Portal 1 was kinda retconned. Since those personality cores that awaken were supposed to be glados' backup system activating. To fix this, my theory is that the announcer voice we hear throughout the game is indeed glados' backup system, or I guess failsafe. With those personality cores obviously keeping everything running.

[@Wheatleybuggygames]

actually the announcer did Appear in portal 1 it infect said " sarcasm self test complete " in portal 1 no one noticed it because the announcer didn't sound different from GLaDOS at all at the time. and was just another GLaDOS line before the character was thought about by VAL;VE

[@aIexwiththetv]

I've never had a more emotional response to something, I've always been of the opinion that despite the art-direction change the early portal 1 remake chambers should have kept the gray floor tiles to keep the atmosphere of the first game and slowly become more clean and portal2-vibey as the game goes on, but this made me realise it even more. Just the small details brought tears to my eyes, it made it feel like it was actually where we were before, years in the future rather than a facade made to look like it. The door in chamber 19 still being there, and still being its old design was what really hit me. Very well done.

[@FREAKBAlT]

If you were wondering why the dual portal device was there, it’s because it’s not Chells testing track and the person who completed it died in the incinerator. That also explains why the escape exit isn’t there because as shown in portal 2 there are multiple testing tracks because once a test is done there is no more euphoric response to testing. So they have multiple tracks that have killed multiple people and have multiple portal guns laying around.

[@Monody512]

Considering the sheer size of the facility, and things like the textures being different, I always assumed they were just different locations with _close to_ the same layout. We know there are multiple testing tracks and from multiple generations of tech. We also know GLaDOS's original chamber was thoroughly trashed and exposed to the sky, and that her design was altered when she was brought back down. I think she was installed into a backup chamber, which thanks to the co-op DLC we know exist in the facility. This could also help explain how her chamber and the incinerator room don't line up the same way they do in the first game. (There are no elevators between chamber 19 and the end of the game, so it's all known contiguous space.)

But i think this is less of a continuity error, and more like room for a game inbetween portal 1 and 2, a story that shows how glados survived, attempted to rebuild and upgrade, only to ultimatly failed again.

Others can be more noticeable, such as sudden drastic changes in the appearance of a character.' GLaDOS was destroyed and almost all of her remains resided in a parking lot above aperature, but somehow in the sequel she remains in her chamber damaged but still able to function when powered. a minor continuity error but for the sake of the story i can understand. Then theres the LOOK of the testing elements, for example the cubes now light up blue and orange, the doors have a visible lock and unlock mechanism. These changes are good, dont get me wrong. but how did she change all of these features when she was dead? Same question with the elevators, the old ones were slow big and only had one screen, now we have these slim ones that are quick and surrounded by these tv screens. never once do we see an old elevator or elevator shaft. (atleast none that i can remember) Just a reminder *just because these are continuity errors doesnt mean they are bad* . I like these looks more than the first portal game, and would much prefere if the first games designs were changed to fit the seconds if they ever wanted to fix continuity. *they aren't game ruining or anything* All these changes where its impossible to make them leads me to believe there was more going on in aperature science than we think. something had to have happened inbetween the plot of both games, it would be better to think something happened while chell was asleep then just to say that "The old elevators never existed" or "the cubes have always been like this".

Valve retroactively fixed another continuity error in Portal 1. At the end of the original Portal 1 game, we see the outside world from Chell's POV and then the screen fades to black and credits roll. When it became clear to Valve that they were going to do a Portal sequel, they patched the original game years later and changed that POV shot to show Chell being dragged backwards . . . back into the Aperture science facility. This was probably done to explain how she ends up back inside the facility at the beginning of Portal 2.

I'd argue the biggest continuity error in the portal series is the moving portals when destorying the neurotoxin production machine.

It’s little stuff like this that blows my mind, the only continuity thing that has annoyed me years is the fact that while using a laser to cut the neurotoxin generator, we use portals on a moving platform, something seen nowhere else in the game and seemingly shouldn’t be possible, in fact to make that set piece work, programmers had to disable the code that usually removes portals from moving surfaces.

But I do know many people don't recognize it. There is a similar problem in the Secret Panel. Valve removed pillars for a floating platform. I also dislike how they removed the button that you added back

[@endlesstreamofconsciousness]

I love it when people do something just for the love of the game. You are a staple of this community, and have provided a public service. Valve probably did this so players wouldn't be confused. You did this to bring order to a world we all love, thank you.

[@TruFalco]

I think it'd make sense if Glados hastily blocked off areas as we left them, in case of future test subjects trying to same thing, or in embarrassment. And how the gun got there? The Party Escort Associate after putting her in the Extended Relaxation Center, thew it in there as Chell was "instructed" to.

[@TheDiamondSlayer1]

That's always been my headcannon

[@Breadloaf1987]

portal 2's ACTUAL biggest continuity error (imo) is portals not being able to be placed on moving surfaces, yet it is the only way to stop the neurotoxin before you see GLaDOS again

[@Isaacfess]

Looks amazing man, great job! Thought something felt off about those rooms.

[@thealandude9146]

The thing that made me realise it's the last chamber originally was from the energy pallet reflect thing at the beginning of the chamber

[@TheDiamondSlayer1]

To give the incinerator room some sort of explanation (other than it most likely just being so players dont think you can get up there again, although they could have filled it with rubble or something) it could be Glados walls it off during your escape in Portal 1 ,after realising how you got out so it can't happen again.

[@somethings9090]

Damn, I never realized that was chamber 19, At all. I was just excited to be playing

[@keddiels9843]

How could I have not realised that was the incinerator room?!?! I knew we went backwards through Portal 1's last chamber, so how could I not figure out the room before that was the incinerator... huh. Feels strange learning something new about a game I've been playing for over 10 years now!

[@k1n6n07h1n6]

I always recognized that we were backtracking certain parts of the first game, but didn't pick up on the stuff like the missing escape path. I did notice the hallway to *her* chamber was different, but that's about it.

[@NineHundredDollarydoos]

The fact that the entirety of test chamber 19 is down a deep pit right next to the incinerator makes me think that it was originally built there for easy disposal of test subjects who had outlived their usefulness, but I really like the idea that at some point during Chell's escape in Portal 1 GLaDOS just tossed the entire chamber into the incinerator in a frustrated attempt to kill her.

[@enderzhul_66]

Awesome video, awesome mod. Hope you get around to making more of this, maybe adding more details to other maps, it's beautiful and fun

[@crazybird199]

How did I not realize that they were the same test chambers?

[@Oscar-k2v]

I have a theory, after portal 1 the roof fell in and the inside of the roof part in the escape sequence also fell in and that is why it is blocked off in portal 2 final version.

[@piefish]

Love this, never even noticed these errors before but this just adds more to the level anyway!

[@wintersfps]

I HAVE BEEN KNOWING ABOUT THIS AND THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS. in the secret panel level, what is the chamber right by where you end the level? like where wheatly opens the secret panel and "hacks the door"? Because we know what the first part of the level is because its in portal one, yet i can not for the life of me figure out what chamber the adjacent one is. Better yet, there shouldnt even be a testchamber beside it, because you take elevators up and down to get to testchambers, so it really has no place being there.

[@Z38_US]

So like many pointed out the space in the top of the wall in the incinerator room isn't really a continuity error as one could argue glados simply walled it off to prevent you from going through there again just after you wake her up. The shortening and slight modernization of the corridor infront of Glados' chamber however is something that is indeed not right and can't really have a logical explanation.

[@HarrisonDoyle-vt5bp]

I know many others have already said it, but the fact that the room where you get the dual portal gun is the same as the incinerator is something that completely flew over my head.

[@lolglolblol]

Honestly, i find it hard to believe that both games are the same timeline in general. There's just too many things that don't quite fit, like the huge difference in design and technology of the enrichment center or the fact that glados was able to reboot without her cores despite the fact that their removal was what killed her in the first place

[@FrenchFryCheese04]

Bruh

[@magentawool2556]

Okay, so can I just explain something? The devs stated that the amount of time between portal 1 and 2 was between 50 AND 50,000 YEARS. And theres a team of 1,000,000,000 nanobots and THOUSANDS of personality spheres that are constantly renovating things.

[@Gaming32i]

Nice. You even fixed that the pellet emitter in Chamber 19 was on the wrong side.

[@That_Mr_Mike]

Mhm, some small changes are included as well! I'm glad you noticed.

[@madmax0996]

6:22 I just realized that this is where GLaDOS chamber used to be, with the tubes there and the holes in the wall I never could tell

[@a_commenter]

Yeah, I had never noticed that it's the same hallway again

[@vivalaminion2936]

Portal: Successful with praise Portal 2: Successful and regarded highly Portal 3: Why would we do that, lol?

[@vivalaminion2936]

Repeat for Half Life

[@seansharpes4219]

Nice! I’ll be replaying with this mod from now on!

[@flytrapYTP]

I feel like the biggest continuity error is that the personality cores being removed is what killed her initially, yet in Portal 2 she's fine without them.

[@oofedguest2155]

Could be that there was someone before Chell, who also was using portal device. Thus they died and the portal gun left from them.

[@stupakoopa_3987]

...Well, I'll be damned. I've only played the games a couple times but I never considered that. Good job on reimplementing the room.

[@GROENAASMusic]

Wow! You must be a bigger fan than I am, because I did not realize that was the Portal 1 incinerator room and the path to it, just in reverse. The more you know 🌠

[@PointlessPalace]

There could be a possible answer to this (lore wise)! Because you have just woke GLaDOS up and she obviosly doesnt want you to escape and kill her right off the bat! so a quick fix would be fixing the wall!

[@magentawool2556]

Okay, so can I input my explanation? The devs stated that the amount of time between portal 1 and 2 was between 50 AND 50,000 YEARS. And theres a team of 1,000,000,000 nanobots and THOUSANDS of personality spheres that are constantly renovating things.

[@UberDragon]

The changes to the corridor layout next to GLaDOS chamber are the more interesting ones to me, because I can remember recognizing that it wasn't quite what I saw in Portal 1. It's different enough, that I didn't even notice you enter it a second time later on in the game when it's even more fallen apart.

[@GoodOlRoll]

When do you re-enter it?

[@UberDragon]

@@GoodOlRoll In Portal 1 you enter it just before getting to GLaDOS to fight her. In Portal 2 you go through that same corridor two more times. The first time is before you wake up GLaDOS (seen in this video at 3:24) and then a second time you enter it from the opposite side, before you do the core transfer to put Wheatley in charge (seen in this video at 6:28). At 1:01 you can see that without the mod the layout of the corridors in Portal 2 doesn't match the one from Portal one (seen in this video at 1:23).

[@GoodOlRoll]

@@UberDragon I understood the corridor, I thought you meant we go into her destroyed chamber twice in Portal 2 alone. Pretty funny how it looks like the chamber collapsed entirely.

[@GoodOlRoll]

@@UberDragon I've got one more question. I could be misremembering but how come when you go to the corridor the first time, the chamber is surrounded by walls, a floor, and has light pouring from the surface but when you go back the surrounding walls and floor are gone and the ceiling isn't open? Did the walls and floor collapse with the chamber revealing the extremely spacious facility? You're also supposed to be much deeper into the facility by the time you go to plug Wheatley in aren't you?

[@UberDragon]

@@GoodOlRoll I don't remember a floor and walls around the actual chamber, but looking at some videos it certainly looks a little different, although that might be because you're getting a much better look at it the second time around and the map was changed to reveal a little more of the surrounding area. I'd say any large changes in lighting could easily have to do with the time of day changing, which would result in other parts of the facility being lit up at different times throughout the game. From a story perspective, for the second visit I believe the dialogue just says that the pipes will bring you over to GLaDOS chamber, so I don't believe it's supposed to be deeper within the complex. Although it's possible the location changes, as both GLaDOS and Wheatley are capable of re-arrainging things to a certain degree while they're in power.

[@FrenchFryCheese04]

I love this! And btw you should fix chamber 07/08

[@SpadesNeil]

Imagine an alternate ending when you just escape AGAIN.

[@Blorbo_Bleebus]

Dayum turns out chell had the cake all along 💀

[@memor22]

they probably removed the incinirator exit for a reason, if it were to be there people would try to get back in there like they did in portal 1, wich would not be possible
