@@DrBusiness9 erik is just a writer.. chill nerd

[@Citrakite]

A death trap is a situation where if no outside action is taken, you die. '67 Batman ended on Cliffhangers with them usually in a death trap and them escaping in part 2 so yes it's a death trap. Wheatly is a moron so it's an easily avoided deathtrap but still a death trap.

[@thatonerotom8999]

@@DrBusiness9 That last comment was unnecessary.

[@cptmiche]

It wasn't "designed" by wheatley to be avoided, so it was a trap. Your portal gun is just a means to escape the trap.

[@Erick-kl2do]

But then you remember that Wheatley Is a moron that it doesn't even know how to make a properly test chamber by his own. Plus the treadmill is not fast enought to make imposible to cross through It, so it's an option... That ironically had worked better as a test chamber rather than a Death Trap... Still a Moron, anyways.

[@darealxbox]

tbh I think its not designed by Wheatley it most likely just a trash compactor

[@Thavleifrim]

I agree, its a poorly designed death trap, but it still counts.

[@shadowdart]

If it is set up to make you die, it's a death trap. None of the traps James Bond gets caught in ever kills him, that doesn't make them any less of a death trap when he gets out of them.

He wants to make it, and everyone is enthusiastic about it, but Valve's absurd office politics and the lack of people wanting to design puzzles seem to be the only issues

[@bosnia_gaming]

Gonna be an outlier and say I don't want a sequel to Portal 2, but something more related to Rattman. I feel like Portal 2 had a wonderful closing, and not everything needs another sequel, yknow? It's also a very high bar for Valve to set on an existing series to expand on it further, so I'm not sure if I want them to risk that.

[@cleverman383]

@@bosnia_gaming I agree with you except I'm not too interested in Ratman, but just Aperture Science in general. I'm sure they did lots of other stuff other than portals and I would love more lore about Aperture Science, Cave Johnson, and GlaDOS

A Portal 3 would be awesome.

[@cheaterman49]

If it kills you by default when you don't touch the controls, it's a death trap :-) if you have to touch the controls to choose it, it's a death option!

[@Daro-ox1rl]

But i think it more about the "in the story perspective". Sure you'd have to move to die, but if it was "real life" and you were to just do nothing, you'd also die. From Wheatley's perspective, he could've said it was a death trap because either you had to go in the compactor and die or you had to just stay stuck for eternity and die (and using the portal gun is escaping the trap, it's an obvious way of escaping but well, it'd be a wheatley trap so...)

[@TwilightFox777]

Thank you very much for this. Been holding out hope for a decade for Portal 3.

[@massivive]

even closer to the idea of reusing portal 1 test chambers for part of 2 was the part of Super Metroid when you first land on the planet, you're made to traverse the site of the escape sequence from the NES metroid, followed by a destroyed and aged final boss room from the same game walking past the tank that once held mother brain must have been the same sort of feeling they wanted to go for when players stumbled upon a deactivated glados

[@flow1194]

it's definitely a death option. Wheatley would never lie to me

[@hanlore13]

I want a Portal 3 so badly, I’ll wait however long it takes! Portal 2 is one of my favorite games of all time and i love playing player-made test chambers and seeing the new aspects being tested. I especially love the concept of walking through a door that takes you to a new reality of the same room. There’s one really cool test chamber that does it really well and it makes me even more excited for the possibilities to come!

A computer-uploaded Cave Johnson is one of the main plot points in Aperture Desk Job, the built in Steam Deck game. Wonder if any of the dialogue was reused directly or just the idea itself.

[@PregnantOrc]

It would be fun to see what a third Portal game would end up like. Personally I'm more of a fan of the first games focus on space and portals than the seconds order of operations and tool use (gels, light bridges, launch pads etc.) I wonder what would be kept from either version, dropped and added fresh. The dropped sticky gel looked really fun and something I'd love to have played with. I get the issue of disorientation as I had that experience playing Alien vs Predator as the xenomorphs a long time ago. But after getting past the initial confusion it's a great addition to spacial exploration.

[@L337M4573RK]

From Wheatley's POV: It's a "cleverly designed" Death Trap From Chell's POV: It's a Death Option, but one that CAN be circumvented (Either way, there's a way to skip or shorten the dialog in that "Death Trap/Option" by using portals to launch the bombs at that one last screen Wheatley is using.)

[@KalkuehlGaming]

Its a death trap because of the conveyor belt. You cant outrun it so you have to find a unofficial way. The only thing that could have been changed is the exit. Making it a little bit more risky to get of it so its actually escaping a trap instead of exiting. The easy exit makes it actually like a death option but both are valid and the dialogue is more funny this way.

[@BrightPage174]

11:11 Ah the amount of cool stuff we'll never get because nearly all of Valve's testers had notoriously weak stomachs

I still believe that you will deliver the big 3's some day.

Your channel has been around for a very long time yet somehow you guys always manage to get those Interesting facts about these games I love so dear, thanks for all the great content over the years

[@FatAlbert1020]

What we have here is a difference in perspective. The writer believes this to be a death trap because the character he’s writing for has full intent to kill you. The game designer sees it as a death option because his perspective moreso represents the player, who’s designed to avoid death, but can definitely choose death with (relatively speaking) little consequence. The thing is, a trap is inherently defined by its intent, not its viability. Was Wile E Coyote just setting up death *options* for the Roadrunner all those years? No, his full intent was to kill and eat the Roadrunner! Whether its avoidable or not doesn’t change the devices intent- to trap and kill you. Death trap. 100% agree with the writer and I wish I was a fly on the wall for this pleasant conversation lol

What legends. Thank you guys for fighting the fight and thinking up new ideas for Portal. 1 & 2 are easily amongst my favourite games of all time and I’d be ecstatic if there ever was a 3rd mainline entry.

[@lonergothonline]

I'd imagine the next half life to have gorden go through that diorama ride so he can find out about aperture science, on his way to finding out more about the combine in general, since gorden doesn't really know much about the combines' capabilities, and the A.I cores can teach him about consciousness transferral, eventually leading him to make a way to defeat the combine through aperture tech. I'd imagine the next portal would be a VR exclusive where Gman informs Alyx at the start he needs something that won't shut up about consciousness transferrral from an aperture facility, and so she goes through a bunch of test chambers, without the portal gun, meets chell, meets glados, meets gorden, whom she doesn't know, then helps chell who wants to help gorden who has to help glados in order to defeat the combine. I'd imagine gorden and chell communicate only through gestures alone, but are both bad-ass enough to recognise someone else badass, and maybe they have to stay silent so a xen creature like jeff can't react to them talking. lol.

Manifold Garden did the shifting perspective and something similar to portals with the infinite repeating levels that you could jump off to land on top of and shift perspective to walk under and around.

I kinda want someone to make a mod that bullet time to portal just to see what that would been like also the adhesion gel, I want to see a mod with that too I don't know how that would of made people sick, there's been upside down and wall side sections in other games before and those didn't make me sick or confused

"I don't know how that would of made people sick, there's been upside down and wall side sections in other games before and those didn't make me sick or confused" did those other games have portals in them? because i've seen quite a few players get disoriented by using portals so maybe having players use portals while on the walls/ceiling would have been a step too far.

not everyone is like you. some people are just far more easily disoriented and made motion sick by those kinds of things. valve understands that, and that hurting accessibility like that is a terrible idea.

At the recent AGDQ, a speedrunner showcased the airboat% category, and this reminded me that I never finished Portal or Portal 2, ever, although I own both. So what I ended up doing was to finish Portal 2 in one day (a long one, to be fair) and be very slightly obsessing over Portal content on youtube x). A Portal 3 would be amazing, I would definitively buy and play it! It's super interesting and I enjoyed the games a lot. ^^

on one hand, "death trap" implies an amount of certainty, and no one ever actually dies to that level, but o the other hand wheatley thought it would have surely killed chell

YES a Portal 3 is wanted. I have wanted it since I finished 2... there are so many questions I would love answers to... but sadly it sounds like 3 would be something else and I will be left to question the fate of the world as it finished.

I hope portal has a 3rd game the whole idea and storytelling of the portal series immediately made me fall in love with it it’s just such a smart game man

It's not a "Death Trap" if you can easily see something that can, is, and trying to kill you like one of the turrets patrolling an area, and it gives someone time to think about how to overcome it. It's a trap if it's unexpected or a surprise to the victim and is activated by some seemingly unrelated action like walking into an empty room. That masher is clearly visible and allows the player to think about how to avoid it, more accurately it's a "Death Obstacle."

2:40 while it’s a death trap, i appreciate how easy it is to avoid. i actually really got immersed during this scene in the game because it made Wheatley feel more threatening while even having his silly quips! still my favorite game to this day 🧡💙

Even those short clips of Adhesion Gel at about 11:00 really messed with my brain, I can definitely see why they cut it
