Old news.

The footage is ancient.

The footage is from a games expo thingy from just this weekend. It is impossible for it to be old as they were playing it live.

What you say doesn't make sense.

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

I loved Portal, I hope Portal 2 will be at least as good.

I though I had retired from all video gaming but this might make me dabble in it a bit.
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. [...] I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman

Check out the official website. You can see some of the new features in action. Some pretty clever stuff here.
