So how about Ratchet and Clank 5? I mean, portals are neat, but who knows what kind of "zap things into animal form" beam is forthcoming from Insomniac??

i saw it at a friend's house last saturday night and he was like "WOAH WHAT THE FUCK MY MIND IS BLOWN" and i guess i thought it would elicit the same reaction in other people

also i recently became introduced to the magical world of valve software

It's Valve's response to "Prey".

[Meat Load]

With Valve's recent announcement of Portal coming so close on the heels of the release of Prey, some have accused Valve of copying an innovative and trendy gameplay element, much like many developers rushed to include variants of Half-Life 2's own "gravity gun." However, Portal seems to have been in development for some time; at least since the hiring of Narbacular Drop's developers, thus before the release date of Prey, long delayed and thought to be cancelled, was publicly announced.

To counter this criticism, it has been pointed out that although Prey does feature portals, they are not under player control, do not take into account momentum, and are not as integral to the gameplay of Prey as they are to the gameplay of Portal. Prey is also not the first game to feature portal technology: Descent and the original Unreal both featured them in functional, if not pretty, form. Portal technology is used in various other games in an unnoticable fashion (for various technical performance reasons).

narbacular drop, the game portal is based on, is a freeware game that was released a while before prey.
