18 Apr 2011 Jahr - Portal 2 (2011)

Beschreibung:

- Like the original Portal (2007), the game adds many different obstacles, puzzle levels and featuring a new cooperative mode.
- Valve committed more resources to Portal 2's development than they had for the first game. Portal had a team of seven or eight people, but Portal 2 had a team of 30 or 40. The initial team of four was expanded as subgroups formed to devise game mechanics and to plot the story.
- The cooperative mode originated from players' requests and from anecdotes of players working together on the same computer or console to solve the game's puzzles. Eric Wolpaw the writer, likes the idea of the players working together on the same computer to solve point-and-click adventure games.
- Valve developed online promotional videos featuring J. K. Simmons narrating as Cave Johnson, to promote new elements of Portal 2's gameplay. These videos were part of a larger effort described by Newell as a "documentary-style investment opportunity" for Portal 2. Valve also announced, "Teach with Portals" and "Steam for Schools" in June 2012, initiatives that offered Portal 2 and Portal 2 Puzzle Maker for education.
- It has been described as one of the greatest video games ever made by numerous publications and critics.
