A few corrections and extra content; The fake endings were inspired by play testers of the original Portal. At the part of which you are going to be "baked" some play testers didn't escape, but rode the platform into the fire. The fake endings idea was made to please those players. The fake endings were NOT dropped due to how many players ignored them, but because the producers underestimated how many fake endings they could come up with. Also, the fake ending with the moon was resurrected for the ending when the producers were at a "flop sweat meeting" trying to think of how to end Portal 2. There is another Wheatley/GLaDOS Chasis model still in the game's files. It consists of the Wheatley core stuck onto a simpler GLaDOS Chasis (and GLaDOS' head was still on her body). The only time the model is visible is during the Portal 2 Post Mortem, where footage of the original ending was shown. Speaking of the original ending, the ending planned at first did involve sticking 3 cores onto Wheatley and Wheatley bombing the Stalemate Resolution Button but the player would Resolve the Stalemate by "saying the word yes". The player would press middle mouse button and Chell would say "Yes". When this idea went into play testing players didn't know Chell was speaking so it was cut out. A one thing to do with the cut Paranoia Core was used for Wheatley; as seen in the Paranoia Core video, you would pluck the Core off the pedestal, whack him against the walls and throw him down the stairs was taken over to Wheatley. In the actual game the part in GLaDOS' chamber where there is a collapsed staircase, producers planned for players to just throw Wheatley down there. The Hover Turret NPC is fully functional, it's just missing it's model (which is meant to be the Portal 1 Curiosity Core) and voice files. Mel was going to be the Protagonist for Portal 2 (it is not said that Mel would've been used for F-STOP) but was cut when players realised that GLaDOS didn't recognise the player as her killer. Mel was reused for Co-op before being scrapped. Her model (as well as the Portal 1 Chell) ARE still in the game files (however their animations are broken and the Portal 1 Chell skin is replaced with the Black and Purple checkered texture). There are a few extra models for Portal 2 PeTi, these include alternate Cube Dropping models, a Platform with a Portable Surface, and others. There is a song in the game files which would've been used for the Finale with the word 'pc'. Unlike the other 2 files with partly the same names the song is not an instrumental version of Reconstructing Science. You did mention the Futballs being used in the Portal 2 Competitive mode, but you never ACTUALLY talked about the mode; The mode (cleverly nicknamed "Portal Kombat") involved 2 teams trying to take a ball (in this case, the unused Futball) to their side. The mode was removed from the game, as through play testing it was revealed that the matches were incredibly heptic. The image for this mode does show a Cube design with (possibly) the Lamba logo on the side. When thinking about how Wheatley would move or interact with the world the modellers kept changing the model to fit with their ideas. They first used Portal 1's "Cake" Core with the model stretching and squishing with each movement, kind of like a cartoon. This lead to a Robot Eye on Gyroscope-like wheels, a Robot transforming into a crab, A Robot flapping like a Bird and flying around, etc, etc. Originally in production, the GLaDOS model from Portal 1 would've been used (mostly). At first GLaDOS was just "A head on a string", evolving into the full model but with more human like movements. ...err... ...I'll stop here, I'm racking my brain too hard. Still, hope this helps. --Ben24x7--

[@disko24x76]

Another few things (and yes, I know at least one of them isn't unused or cut but still); GameSpot made an offer nearing Portal 2's release where if people pre-ordered Portal 2 from them, the purchasers would get an exclusive Roll Cage hat for the co-operative mode. The model still exists in game, but is a really rare object. There were quite a few variations of the Final Boss Battle which can be proven by Developer Commentary and also a piece of concept art. At first Wheatley would use Crushers to kill the player, this proved too challenging. Wheatley was then made to use (Flamethrowing?) Turrets against the player, again too hard. I know you already mentioned about cut dialogue but I'd like to mention this; There are bits of cut dialogue of Caroline saying things like "Please mister Johnson" and "I don't want this". The voice actor for Cave Johnson revealed that Valve wanted Johnson to force Caroline to be uploaded to GLaDOS. The voice actor for Johnson didn't like the idea and refused to record the lines. --Ben24x7-- (again)

[@disko24x76]

Oh, one last thing (this possibly doesn't count due to not being used in the first place); This one is also to do with Valve's group thing where each group would think up an idea for Portal 2 (which is where F-STOP stemmed from). The Idea was named "Two Bots, One Wrench", where the player along with 2 Robot companions would interact with each other and the player in the HL2 map 'Nova Prospekt'. These interactions were not pre-scripted and the AI would play them randomly depending on what is happening or where they are. This was the inspiration behind the Personality Cores (referred as "Personality Construct" by the Announcer) Valve hasn't released the Project or the models, so it might be used for another game like F-STOP. --Ben24x7-- (For the third time in a row)

[@disko24x76]

Quick correction; Dispite the name, Hover Turrets were not meant to hover. A picture from "The Final hours of Portal 2" revealed the Hover Turrets, which were suspended from the ceiling by a rope. Also, the 2nd planned opening sequence for Portal 2 (The Tube ride) shows 2 Test Chambers. The first one is unrecognisable but the Hover Turrets can be seen (with Red eyes and voices) while the second Test is an early version of the map "pull_the_rug", with an early design for the Discouragement Lazer Emmiter. I want to correct myself on one thing; the cube in the picture for the 'Portal Kombat' mode DOES NOT have the Lamba symbol on it's side, it's just an arrow. --Ben24x7-- (As usual) p.s. Would you like me to help with the second part (if that is alright)?

"Taken out due to causing motion sickness within players" Out of all the times that excuse could be used, why in the one game where it doesn't make sense?

[@RokasBum]

Valve should seriously get some better game testers. There was some guy testing episode 2 and he got lost in a cave for over an hour then Valve made that cave a lot more simple. The guy was running in the same circle for an hour.

[@REDACTED0451]

Valve put an Easter egg in that cave that said "Game testers, ruining video games since 1996"

[@cadelfowl7724]

Fucking game testers are stupid as shit. It's why they play video games, cause they aren't smart enough to get a real job.

[@ruths2130]

In Team Fortress 2 there is a really lovely unused soundtrack that would play in the respawn room in Mann vs Machine. Do you know why it was scrapped? Because play testers would just stay in the room and listen to the pretty music instead of fight robots! Also in the Mann vs Machine trailer it shows RED and BLU team working TOGETHER to fight the robots. This was cut because play testers became confused and started shooting each other since you always had to fight the BLU team in normal game mode. It would have been really cool for RED and BLU to work together, play testers are stupid! There are 400,000 robots heading your way so why don't you I don't know.....shoot THEM instead of wasting your time with shooting the BLU team who can't be hurt! It's game LOGIC! Also some Tf2 updates are entirely community made which means Valve is becoming lazy. Why don't Valve ever focus on the BLU team in the comics, and they give Soldier everything! Hats, weapons, cosmetic items and even a girlfriend in the comics!

[@disko24x76]

@Ruth S Well, another reason the RED and BLU team working together to fight bots was probably cut because members of the RED team might accidentally mistake BLU team members for Robots.

[@GusTheWolfgang]

I.... I don't think I could play a portal game without Glados, Chell, or Portals. But, on a side note, I just realized that Chell has gotta be a few thousand years old.

[@NextPlayAdventure]

Aperture Tag isn't that bad. But also not as good as both original Portal games and Portal Stories: Mel. Ok, latter also has just 1 of the 3 things.

[@marcellacassab4331]

Personally, I could play a portal game without Chell but certainly not without GlaDOS. It just wouldn't be Portal without her; She just MAKES Portal. Reuniting with Wheatley would be great too, even though I know it isn't likely. Hey, the moon isn't that far from earth, he and the space sphere could easily float back into the earths orbit eventually and crash land back on Earth.

[@yummydragon8533]

Naw, Chell probably isn't a few thousand years old, because, if you take a look at other containers in the Extended Relaxation Center, the time between, packing and expiration date are exactly 20 years, so, the cryosleep chambers can only keep people alive for 20 years, and for Aperture to be cover in nature would take, around 15 years is my guess, so, she has to have been asleep for 15-20 years because when she wakes up, she still has enough mental stability to do the tests, and the reason the Announcer said Chell had been in stasis for 99999999 is that after GLaDOS's first destruction, the calendar system was messed up, as Doug Rattmann couldn't set a wake-up date for the cryosleep chambers, so he had to connect Chell to the backup supply grid, and when the backup power runs out, Wheatley wakes Chell up, so Chell isn't thousands of years old...

[@bals1632]

@@yummydragon8533 The Final Hours of Portal 2 it said about 30,000ish years have passed, and GLaDOS didnt control that much as the facility was still working order at a little above 1.5 Volts so we could assume callenders and menial things should still work fine, and the cores would care over the Enrichment Center themselves. Also the announcer saying 9999999 (assuming its days as the last measurment he used was in days) gives us about 27000 years. And do you kniw how long it takes stuff to age to look like aperture? The facility wouldn't quite literally be in shambles with everything breaking over a measily 20 years

There are time-travel maps, universe-shifting maps, every manner of weird portal mechanics, gravity flipping, size changing, gel levels, new bosses, Adventure Sphere maps...the list goes on and on.

[@lofidryzl]

All that has been stated about Portal 3 is that "Chell's Story is over" so there is a glimmer of hope

[@WalkingDilemma]

LooseElectronStudios Also, some dudes on Steam are making a game right now that tells the story between Portals 1 & 2. Hasn't been released yet, but there is the Aperture gel game that only costs a couple of bucks.

Blame that old stygian horror we all must suffer 'neath: Focus Testing. Valve *loves* focus testing. Say you're led into a room and shown an early demo for a Portal sequel, but with no GLaDOS, no Chell, not even *portals*. They ask for feedback, and you say "yeah that was fun but kinda weird, doesn't seem like it has much to do with the first game." Rather than sticking to their guns and saying "this is a good idea, and we're gonna stand by it," they instead scrap it and make a more traditional portal-y adventure. This is why your audience is sometimes wrong.

I would like to play a Portal prequel, but not called Portal. I am hoping to see a new game mechanic that Aperture has invented and play during the life of Cave Johnson, similar to the unused F-stop idea. The game should take place before the death of Cave Johnson and should tell the story(s) of what happened in Aperture before Glados was awakened. I am thinking that different characters should be played as as you progress into the future of Aperture, ending with playing as Doug Rattman and escaping Glados, that would be pretty cool.

[@gamefoun]

do a video about portal 3! (i hope this comment will actually make sence someday)

[@smearfo5612]

sense*

[@samtesoro7363]

You mean portal 2 episode 1?

[@nickiminajqueen894]

2 years later still isnt making sence

[@sodiboo]

3 years, no rumors or announcements or anything, portal development is dead and the playerbase is nearly dead

[@lunita9391]

2020 and... Nop

[@omniscientbarebones]

I find it funny how the turret is sent to chamber 16 in the early intro and I love that both games introduce/reintroduce turrets in the 16 chamber.

[@hypemangaming]

It’s almost 2022 and this is still one of my favorite games.

[@tristanjourney1459]

Wow Portal 2 turned out so much better xD

[@tristanjourney1459]

Yeah that would be cool :P

[@tylerborntraeger9447]

yeah compare the resulting build of this game to destiny - granted, that game hopefully will get better over the 10 years, but considering all the stuff valve cut, portal 2 is still my fav game of all time

[@99daysfan99]

In a room where u hear "Doug Rattmann" that voice is scraped files of the paranoid core

[@MegaMCDOWNLOAD]

pls make a second part mate This is sooooo cool

[@CrabulousYT]

i love that test intro where the turret about attacks you "Target Acquired" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

[@itsihhna5475]

My theory for what F-Stop was, it could have been the way of folding things, like folding a certain wall to where you could walk around or over it. I mean, in the trailer it has a ton of things folding themselves up to "clean the room" as i like to say it, and it has F in the name. Who else agrees with me?

[@fiuzyka7229]

Hey, that makes sense

[@Biozombie72]

F-Stop is a camera term, its about adjusting the light to get the optimal image. It would have something to do with that.

[@GrilledChickenTV]

It's called the I.T crowed, not the "it" crowed :P

[@Uhohlisa]

The "IT" in the show's title can be pronounced as either the word it /ˈɪt/, as in "the 'it' crowd", or as the letters IT /ˌaɪˈtiː/, as in the abbreviation for information technology.[1]

[@tylerborntraeger9447]

crowd* :p I'm gonna be that guy lol

[@Edeinawc]

Yeah, I usually don't care about typos. However, if there's one time when one should pay attention to their typing is when they're actively trying to correct someone else.

[@GenericRubbishName]

No it isn't. Listen to the DVD commentary.

[@analanus3131]

**crowd, i can be that guy too.

[@ghostzz.]

*When you finally escape Ravenholm, but then you go down to the cave and meet A LOT poisonous headcrabs* 5:01

[@mitchluckersrightshoe]

I really enjoyed the turret music in the background

[@nerdgurlzplaygamez3169]

Lots of people are saying "ERMAGHERDDD THE PLAY TESTAS R SO STOOPOD" I'm actually glad they didn't use F-Stop because it would have changed the whole feeling of the game and the portals, etc were the things *we* fans came to love. Why would you want to get rid of the things, portal had in the beginning. We fans loved the original portal and we wanted a similar but different game, not an entire new one. So just be happy and for the franchise we fans love! (:

[@sizzurpmp3]

aye bruh, do more beta shit like this, its pretty dope

[@sizzurpmp3]

matteo salamanca nigga fuck off, aint nobody talking to you. bitch ass nigga

[@leadersofthenewschool]

derp.mp3 nobody talks like that except skinny little white teens

[@leadersofthenewschool]

derp.mp3 lmao your embarrasing yourself

[@leadersofthenewschool]

derp.mp3 why are you still putting up the act?

[@sizzurpmp3]

matteo salamanca what fucking act? why are YOU insulting people that ain't talking to your bitch ass?

[@dantelias9530]

2:00 i was waiting for the "Are YA READY KIDS?!?" Lol

[@Seanthedogboy]

Great video mate!

[@carumsarene]

To me, F Stop feels like it was meant to be something where you manipulate light and shadow to control the environment.

[@polymetric2614]

yeah i imagine it ended up being the lasers in portal 2

[@darkmaulOI]

" ... " - gordon freeman core

[@Manning31337]

What if Morgan freeman voiced the Morgan freeman core

[@cookiesaurus6536]

Great video, really informative and interesting! :)

[@lucialambda]

5:31 this test is still in portal 2 and it even has the pipe going through it, pretty epic

[@skye-silver-6078]

I always thought the adventure core was Cave Johnson... If their was a alternative ending then we would have killed that core which is pretty sad

[@BulletBillSoilder]

- waits for portal 3 -

[@rbccafrg]

I remember when I was about 8 and played this game, many of the levels stumped me and it took me over the course of a year/5 months to finish. Best game I have ever played to this date.

[@MisterChief711]

i finished it in a day 💀

[@darkhoodchief]

Aperture Science Enrichment Center reminds you that the cubes that redirects lasers are called "Discouragement Redirection Cubes"

[@slimesauce3044]

5:43 Oh my god those are what the hover turrets looked like.

[@slimesauce3044]

Theres also walking turrets btw

[@slimesauce3044]

***** i wasnt joking. The rocket turret and the (scrapped) walking turret looked like cores, and thus that line of red-eyed core looking robots could easily have been mistaken for a seperate type of turret.

[@analanus3131]

I love the Hover Turret's voice.

[@tenacity25]

They should release some removed elements from portal 2 like the purple gel and the vent things as DLC's, and release fstop aswell

[@tenacity25]

Oh, and if they released portal 3 with the hidden endings - after this video - i'd look for them.

[@Dino-vy8hn]

yeah i think it was about changing light of cameras because aperture is how much light you let into the camera and aperture is measured in F-stops

[@needlikeamillionbands]

that early intro test is very unnerving to me

[@brettdolphin9168]

So Caroline (GLaDOS) tool revenge over Cave Johnson and stuffed his corpse into the companion cube? OMG it makes So much sense'

[@Neo2266.]

Tyler, when your computer breaks down, who you gonna call? *_7:35_**_ ThE iT CrOwD_*

[@nothingclick2786]

It’s amazing to think Portal2 is nearly a decade old. Graphics still hold up to this day.

[@roketgamer333]

It is possible to make a PDV in hammer and, also in hammer, you could add the reflection gel that has 1 property of the adhesive gel; no movement on propulsion gel.

[@darealshinji]

Actually the laser wasn't just added but instead it replaced the energy orb from Portal 1.

[@Chilly_M04]

Actually, when you have to kill Cave Johnson, it wasn't because he was an antagonist. He was hooked up to a computer, but it wasn't hooked up to the network. So he just stood still for hundreds of years and he went insane. He would ask you to take him out of his misery and you would turn off the computer. Pretty dark if I do say so myself.

[@Chilly_M04]

Other then that a great video!

[@shoopydoopy6062]

The adhesion gel sounds awesome

[@LumpsPlays]

I just love all your "what you didn't get in the actual game" videos. For real man, thank you so much.

[@possiblyzslot838]

The paranoid sphere though xD

[@michael1234252]

I hope they end up making the unused stuff as DLCs.

[@ARandomSpace]

Free DLCs (basically all the Portal 2 DLCs) are just content updates to me. It's technically DLC, but other games make us used to calling them updates.

[@dabo77777]

The song, "Exile Vilify" by "The National" is listed in their album as "Exile Vilify (From the game Portal 2).

[@CarnageBringer]

I would have LOVED to try that alternate ending...That would have been Awesome!

[@Lathburn]

So much love and life in his voice.

[@Moustachium]

I unboxed a purple energy kiss king on my birthday Gabe must

[@TylerMcVicker1]

Super jealous man, Happy Birthday! Was that post on the TF2 Sub Reddit?

[@Moustachium]

yep that was me :D

[@ascvb3]

Moustachium I see what u did there

[@FrancescoGiorginiFilms]

Lol, Valve can't count to three.

[@Sid_1871]

they can just one big backstory is behind that...

[@amaulana090]

5:50 Ugh... Never thought I would hear a turret suffer.

[@agemifi8634]

I need part 2 of this video

[@damianosplay9457]

1:25 Portal:Mel Stories?

[@iminapunkband]

I hope Valve gets Richard Ayoade's voice in the future! Stephen Merchant was perfect for Wheatley but I would love to see Richard in a game as a different character

[@toasterroboto2901]

iminapunkband I would love a conversion mod to have Ayoade's voice replace Merchant's. Don't get me wrong I love it as is, but that would just be amazing!

[@Hellwyck]

Doctor Pizza Pasta Merchant's voice is annoying.

[@metman98uk]

iminapunkband moss confirmed

[@thewolfe240]

there was the moon ending, that can be found in beta. Glados leaves you on the moon and you can see the portal on earth and when you walk to the portal on the moon, she closes it on you, then she taunts you and after she is done speaking you die. I also believe that this is in the full game, but is extremely rare

[@Pinky69420]

Where is the file located?

[@SimonClarkstone]

I have seen player-made maps in which the reflection gel, suction tubes, and powerful air currents from gigantic fans were fully functional, in case anyone wants to see those in action. Also "tropical beach" beginning sequence is referenced by the beginning of fan-game "thinking with time machines", which fits immediately after the end of Portal 2.

[@AmalekIsComing]

You sounded a lot more cheerful back then

[@Querez8504]

9:31 They were stupid. Look at FNaF. Every little detail was found in every single FNaF game, so why wouldn't people be able to find out the alternate endings in Portal 2?

[@Resi1ience]

...Portal came out way before FNAF was even an idea....

[@Querez8504]

Darlaimerner I never said they had to look at FNaF, i just said that they were stupid, and that i used FNaF as an example to show that people CAN find secret alternate endings like that, because i already knew it was made WAAAY before it.

[@Resi1ience]

Querez854 Ah, I see.

[@nygmafia1985]

+Querez854 fnaf was made by one person, valve is a giant comoany

[@SkinnyPlaysMinecraft]

Because no alternate endings were actually implemented into the final game.

[@atomic1611]

When he put the original opening of f-stop, I yelled out, ARE YOU READY KIDS?

[@valentinacrispi4363]

Damn, there is always something you don't know about Portal :D love this video!! I like lots of the unused ideas, but still I'm happy with the final result, honestly :)
