Super 8 In Portal 2

Hey guys Josh here giving you some interesting info on both the movie and video game front. It seems the guys at Valve have made some new friends in the movie business and have produced some interesting results.


Now as I'm sure you know by now Portal 2 was released early on steam due to the support they got from fans in a clever plan to earn more money from people desperate to play Portal 2. So it i have just watched a clip of the Super 8 level in Portal 2 and it looks EPIC, It starts off with you waking up in a cabin on the train we see in the Super 8 trailer. It gives you enough time to have a look around and search for any clues they people at Valve have left you to help uncover the mystery of what is going on in the movie and what breaks out of the cabin. So after you get  a chance to look around you hear the familiar noise of the barriers being lowered for the train to pass, and then suddenly it happens. The explosion sends your character backwards into everything and the screen fades to black. Pretty cool no? but then we see the wreckage of the train and what is left. We are given enough time to look around even more and put or JJ Abrams caps on in an attempt to understand the way this man thinks and what hints he has left us. After we walk around a fair bit we hear a bang. If you look around you can see the heavily armoured door being broken in by some giant monster. The door breaks off and we are given our first hint at what the creature will sound like as we hear a loud roar as the screen fades to black and we see the title of the film Super 8 appear.

Here is the level.

So it sounds like a very good advertising campaign. I for one would like to see movies do this more, it allows them to appeal to an audience that is already interested in their movie and raise the hype even more. Keep your eyes peeled as we will update you on what developments there are on the hints we have been left. Comments below.
