Portal Beta: A Quick Look at the 2005 Portal

[@JBarG22]

This earlier version just feels like a mod for HL2, I think the final Portal looks very good.

[@Shrek_es_mi_pastor]

I mean it basically was lol.

[@NovidProkteps]

I really like the way Portal’s visual style turned out, but I love the concept of a more Half Life based version where you would essentially play HL2 backwards, going from Nova Prospekt after the end of Entanglement back through the coast, Ravenholm, and the canals to come back during the conception of the uprising

[@Drebin416]

I love that HL and Portal are connected mainly because there's zero mention of the Combine. What in the world happened?

[@GreenChillZone]

Glados alludes to them when she says "Things have changed since the last time you left the building. What's going on out there will make you wish you were back in here. I have an infinite capacity for knowledge, and even I'm not sure what's going on outside. All I know is I'm the only thing standing between us and them." The Combine just never bothered to check an abandoned salt mine in Michigan, which is a good thing considering their desperation to acquire local teleportation technology.

[@oak7741]

wouldn’t 0 mention of the combine mean less connection to half life? how is that because

[@Taishisama]

I think the 2005 version of portal With the nova prospeckt look It's more of a placeholder Using half life 2 asset as a based before they make original asset

[@himikebye]

I agree, the Source Engine was a good foundation to add the 'Portal mechanics'. HL2 was rich with a whole library of assets that was good enough to test the game out before they perfected it in the retail copy.

[@YZYE]

I liked the old Pink and Blue Portals, I also thought the older portal gun was quite cool but it seemed better in the retail.

[@krawlerfizz]

Man I've been watching your channel lately and damn I feel blessed, I love watching HL2 Beta content... Dude I think you should really make some creepy hl2 beta video like talking about mysteries or findings with some inmersive music in the background, it would be nuts, lov ur vids bro.

[@RadiationHazardYT]

Hey thanks man! Yes, I'll be doing more Beta vids, but after I cover some other Valve games first. Thanks again!

[@alanmix8183]

did someone accidentally transfer chell to nova prospekt?

[@crabs0ncrack436]

i have an video idea it is to do an beta iceberg on hl2 or hl1

[@wolfcl0ck]

Ha! What a coincidence that you post this today! I've been workin with VCC this whole day lookin into Portal's Prospekt era and what's left over in the leaked map files! Ain't that ironic? To mention, I just went through everything, we have 4 2005 "prospekt" era maps in the files (lab_lvl1, lab_lvl3, styleguide_lab, and zoo_testarea,) as well as prospekt era assets left in the unused visgroups in background1, testchmb_a_01, 02, 03, 06, 07, 10, 11, and 14. We also have a huuuuge portion of the glados chase sequence from escape_01 that predates the glados fight that's used in Portal: Project Beta, and uses rocket turrets back when they were still laser turrets. Who knows, if I have the time, I might actually recreate the whole 2005 style of the game, it wouldn't be all that hard.

[@wolfcl0ck]

I should also mention, these unused visgroups contain a lot of extra pieces that aren't in portal prospekt. The old fizzler is a good example, as well as the actual shape and setup for the room where you get the portal gun. There was also this special elevator model called "combine_elevator" that prospekt doesn't really utilize, in spite of us having said model.

[@RadiationHazardYT]

Hahaha yeah! I looked at your Portal post on DC and thought wait a minute... Im doing a Portal vid too, lol. Unfortunately, Prospekt was the only way I could show the Beta in a "presentable form". But who knows... maybe I'll one day make a Portal Beta vid, and showcase a more refined mod... made by you 👀

0:00 0:04 Me: Wait... no threats, no control mind promises or even Half-life or Portal reference at the beginning!? I have a bad feeling that G-Man and Glados are up to something?

Bro you put so much time into your vids I like your deep analysis of the beta of valve games you're vids are the best and there entertaining

[@NoReplyAsset]

very interesting, I've been meaning to look more into portal history, and also what the creators of the original are doing today

[@SC.Lucas69]

I love your videos! I have been binge watching all of them while playing games. Keep up the good work! 👍🏽

[@RadiationHazardYT]

Thank you!

[@Stoppie_October]

Aperture actually existed in this version of the game, my guess is it was a pre war laboratory that was retrofitted into some sort of combine human testing. I find it extremely interesting how the room you wake up in is the best living conditions we ever see the combine provide. It implies you where valuable to the combine in some way.

reasons why i subscribed : your profile picture; your voice; your content

[@RadiationHazardYT]

Thank you my man!

[@awesomemouse]

I'm glad they redid the bad early version. The release looks very united and stylish.

[@reepblue]

While the majority of the maps here are fan made, the maps in the "Project-Beta" mod are the recompiled maps/assets from December 2006. The mod acts like a snapshot build although I'm not sure how accurate it is. It was supposed to have replacement packs for portals/view models but I never finished it. With the 2005 stuff (not my mod, but I did the lvl vmfs found from the Facepunch leak), the the battery puzzle map is legit, and the relaxation vault map was added on to from the vmf that was a background map. Hope this helps.

[@bluenoob4787]

I wonder what would’ve happened if portal still had the combine style and the citadel explosion at the end of episode 1

It's amazing that people are still talking about old valve games. Just shows you how much fans are still active and that's why valve is my favorite company. No other company could make something like this
