Portal 2 Third Person Bug (720p HD)

This is a short video of a bug I found in Portal 2. A quick YouTube search didn't show anyone else with a video about it, however it is quite possible that I am not the first one to find it, as there must be others who have played the game in third-person mode.

@boolpropable

Thanks. I got a good laugh out of your comment. ;-)

@GT500org You should use a pop filter.

Yeah, the headset I used at the time had too long of a boom, and every exhale would hit the mic, so you'd get those noises when talking. I don't use that headset anymore, so fortunately it isn't an issue in future videos.

I used the console to bind a key to the third-person command. I don't really remember what the third-person command was (if I did then I'd tell you exactly how to do it), but it isn't normally activated by a key on the keyboard, which is why I had to use the console to make it possible.

In the Developer commentary mode, Valve notes that making the room move around was difficult, and the physics didn't look right, so what they did was they had a virtual room (the one you see in third person mode) track your movement, while the textured room moves and has the objects reacting to Wheatley's sloppy piloting.

@GT500org The game was never made to be played in third person. No need to scrip it in.

A very minor case of serious brain damage will make you see this. xD

It's not a bug, the level designer did very well here. You aren't really in the motel room, it's just a camera. The "real" player is inside this black pitched room. Without this system it would have been impossible to make this container ride. They also said that in the Developer Commentary.

Yeah, i had this problem too.

When wheatley takes u to GLaDOS and your flying through the

tube, chell is just standing in a room of pitch black w/

one tube in the room. just...weird.
