Portal 2 interview with Valve writer Erik Wolpaw from PAX East 2011

Portal 2 draws from the award-winning formula of innovative gameplay, story, and music that earned the original Portal over 70 industry accolades and created a cult following.

The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game.

The game's two-player cooperative mode features its own entirely separate campaign with a unique story, test chambers, and two new player characters. This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals. Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively.

Wait im confused... is this the SAME test subject from the 1st one? or is this a total new one?

[GamingLives]

@HanakoNaraku we think there's something they're not telling us. Our guy who did the interview (Lee) thinks she might be a kind of clone hence the name "chell" which is close to "shell" but Lee day dreams a lot :P

[SeizureDude]

Best interview so far.

[GamingLives]

@SeizureDude Thank you glad you liked it, be sure to check out that PAX playlist that's linked to at the end of the video for the first 8 mins of portal and a whole load of other PAX East goodness

[Buckleofbelt]

[blakeman199713]

@GamingLives chell in number one is chell in number 2 as well.

[peber13]

@Buckleofbelt haha why?

[Buckleofbelt]

@peber13 you owe me some money I believe :)

[triforcespower]

So do you guys like this Portal better than the first Portal?

[x24sonic]

@HanakoNaraku it's the same one from the first. Chell was placed in a cryo - chamber for the time between portal 1, and portal 2.

If you watch very close in the firey room in the original teaser, look on the side of the room. Companion cube!

[icantfindaacc]

@GamingLives No, it is the same person. Chell was the main protagonist in Portal 1, and the same in Portal 2. Although, Portal 2 takes place hundreds of years in the future. She was held in stasis.
