For the physics behind the upside down portal giving you more height: think of it as you arcing towards the bottom of the portal instead of toward the ground, so whn you go out the upside down portal, your momentum carries you toward the ceiling because that's the direction of your arc.

I wonder if the reason behind the upside-down portal creating more speed is because it rotates you from the bottom of the players collision box thus actually making your exit height higher than it would be if you came out normally. Just a thought, nothing really to substantiate it other than I've noticed that it does appear to be doing that from the first person view though that could just be an illusion.

That reminds me, the Novint Falcon was a motion controller with haptic feedback around 2008, and they released a mod of Half-Life 2 called Haptics Life 2 with support for the Novint Falcon. Valve themselves later added support for the Falcon to the Episodes, and to Portal and TF2. I tried it back then, it was pretty cool but very expensive for how few games were supported.

the physics behind upside down portals: If you where to rotate a portal, assuming conservation of velocity, would indeed output the other side rotated, and thus at a different launch angle, the unintuitive part is that it quite blatantly breaks conservation of energy, thus making it less intuitive.

This was actually the first way I played portal 2, we got a PS3 with the move controllers bundled in, and portal was one of the first games we bought for it, I remember having a ton of fun with it, as well as getting frustrated because I was young and my puzzle brain wasn't there yet. I also may be remembering this wrong, but I could've sworn that there was some input you could do with the in motion DLC to "lock" the movement of one to one, making rotating and scaling a lot easier.

Ah, the Hydra... is it weird to say I still prefer it? It's tracking was god teir, and the number of buttons on it meant you weren't sacrificing anything. Now a days, there are fewer buttons on VR remotes and having to cut corners with certain concepts. Anyway, I can validate the levels are the same as the Sixense stuff. I contacted Valve support to get the key when my hydras arrived, and it was a smooth experience. It still works, and the on screen cursor aiming heavily changed things up for TF2, almost making it feel like a cheat code at times. As for Portal 2, it absolutely is a cheat code in a way: being able to move portals means portal deployment challenges were knee capped. Sixense had plans to build a newer set of wireless versions, but to my knowledge, they were never finished, which is a shame.

Me; hello; I played through the entire campaign with PS-Move. I already had all the single-player achievements so I decided it would be more fun to re-play on PS3 and I find the Move controller to give me more control than the dual-shock, allowing me to do flinging maneuvers. I never had your issue of the controller being uncomfortable, but I can understand having issues if you didn't already like the move. Also, thank you for letting me know there's more than 7 chambers. I was upset I spent $10 on the DLC for what was essentially a tutorial that only had two "real tutorials". Definitely going to play those extra chambers soon.

If you don't know, the Razer Hydra controllers were kind of the stepping stone into modern vr controllers. Before we had vr controllers the standard was just the head gear until someone had to idea to implement the hydra controllers into a mod for Minecraft vr so that you could move both hands as well as look around. DanTDM was I believe one of the first to showcase this. Before all that vr was literally just KZbinrs with the headgear using mouse and keyboard at their desks. Let me know if anything I said was inaccurate. This is just from the history as I recall it happening.

I literally bought a PS Move two weeks ago just to play this DLC, and it's so fun. I really enjoyed it, since Portal 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. I found the full campaign being played with the PS Move is also so good, I loved how it felt to play and I ended up going through the entire game with it. Such a fun way to play on such a great console. I love it! For some reason you seem to have had your controllers drop a lot. For me, the only time they weren't detected was when I moved them away from the screen. It's so weird we had such different experiences because it never lost detection for me and I found these to be the most precise and accurate motion controls I've ever used, it made the game control almost better than mouse and keyboard for me. That's so strange.

I had a Razer Hydra which came bundled with a code for the motion DLC, Steam still let's me download it and launch it, but some stuff Valve added later to the main game breaks when doing so, like the test chamber maker not working properly (already had the base game, so the code gave me a giftable copy of the base game which i gifted to my now ex girlfriend, she ended up loving the game) I remember the only games that natively supported the Razer Hydra being Valve games, all implemented in the same way as Portal. (even Team Fortress 2 used to support it) apart from the Valve games, Surgeon Simulator 2013 also used to support it, along with the Oculus Rift Development Kit 2. The Hydra could be used on pretty much any game though, it's drivers came with a lot of premade controller profiles and you could also make your own for games. (but i don't count the driver controller profiles as ''natively supported'') note that the Hydra's track in 6dof, not 3dof. (i think the Move also does this, but the Wii doesn't, the Wii is mostly 3dof unless it sees the Sensor Bar in it's line of sight)
