So guys, whose ready to dominate some console noobs in multiplayer?

Admittedly portal is puzzle and the gaming is cooperative so it should be fine. This is the only way cross-platform is coming though, Microsoft discovered that personally with Shadowrun (they pit tournament winning console players against off the street PC players and the PC players wiped the floor with them)

Co-op might be a little frustrating for PC players, considering controllers may not be able to turn fast enough. Then again, they might have made levels easier to counter that or something, but I hope not.

That's nothing major, considering he announced it last year. Portal 2 doesn't have a big multiplayer mode though, it's mostly just co-op and I can see it being iffy. It does sound like a good sales gimmick to get Valve some extra money in their pocket, because console version is more expensive. I'll still buy the PC only version to save the 20 or 10 dollars, and after watching gameplay for it, the game requires quick reaction time in co-op and in single player, unlike the first one, something that will be harder with the joystick when compared to a mouse.

Considering the fact that the PC version will have better graphics, controls, and a better experience with a keyboard and mouse, it's just a waste buying the PS3 version since I will only probably put it in my PS3 once just to see how it runs, shelve it, and go back to the PC version. It'll be too confusing jumping out of a Portal, then having to move the joystick and wait for the character to turn and aim like this: A little bit up, a bit to the right, no wait, back up, THERE YES SHOOT, but with a keyboard and mouse, it's a reflex where you fling the mouse to where you want to aim and shoot, which takes less than a split second.

This may connect consoles and PCs more, but PC will still dominate matches against PS3. I would honestly prefer cross-platform with PS3 and 360, just to beat some 360 kids ass. This is still something whalecumming, as I hope I'll be able to use Steam in my other PS3 games, since it will be easier to respond to messages while playing the game, rather than getting off the bed and going to the PC just to tell that guy spamming me to shut the fuck up.

Plus, if your PC sucks this is the deal for you. Actually, I'll go pre-order 10 copies right now for PS3, take the voucher, shrink wrap the boxes into their "unopened" state, return them, ebay the voucher, ????, Profit.

Also, chatting with keyboard > controller.

This is gonna be Shadowrun 2:Electric Boogaloo.

In all seriousness though, this only gonna be the start. Soon we will be able to steamroll (c wat i did thar?) console nubs in multiplayer in all games. The joys.

Console nubs have aim assist, you'd be surprised how easy it can be for em to kill you.

Lol, once again with Valve basically alienating at least one console.

Has there been any news on whether the Ps3 has support for custom maps?
