Valve have announced that their Portal 2 game will indeed fully support the PlayStation Move, although the feature “isn’t fully integrated yet” they say.
Portal 2, the sequel to the popular Portal game, continues to challenge players using platforming and physics-based puzzles together with the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (ASHPD) or otherwise known as the “portal gun.” This device can create a temporary wormhole between any two flat surfaces, allowing players to solve complex puzzles and navigate through the game’s intricate environments.
Enhanced Gameplay with PlayStation Move
The integration of PlayStation Move support in Portal 2 promises to bring a new level of interactivity and immersion to the game. Players will be able to use the motion-sensing capabilities of the PlayStation Move controller to aim and shoot portals with greater precision. This added functionality is expected to enhance the overall gameplay experience, making it more engaging and intuitive.
“We made a promise to gamers at E3 that Portal 2 for the PS3 would be the best console version of the product,” said Valve boss Gabe Newell. This commitment to delivering a superior gaming experience on the PlayStation 3 is further underscored by the inclusion of SteamPlay.
SteamPlay and Cross-Platform Play
SteamPlay is a feature that automatically allows you to play the same game on the PC or Mac without paying for it again. This means that if you purchase Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3, you will also have access to the game on your PC or Mac at no additional cost. This cross-platform play capability is a significant advantage for gamers who own multiple gaming systems, as it provides greater flexibility and value.
Portal 2 is due to be released on 22/04/2011 on PlayStation 3. The game will feature both single-player and cooperative multiplayer modes, offering a variety of challenges and puzzles for players to solve. The cooperative mode, in particular, introduces new gameplay mechanics and requires players to work together to overcome obstacles and complete objectives.
