It's interesting, when I had first seen the two robots, I felt certain that the portal guns they had would each be half of the same portal, but it looks like they plan on two full portal guns if that video is accurate.

It looks like each player had a different Portal gun based on the colors used in the original Portal.
My only complaint about the video is it looks like a very quick mission complete and something that short doesn't give a good sense of high levels of cooperation. They shot ONE portal and it was over? I'm highly anticipating this game but this video didn't do much for me.

I believe the point of this trailer is merely to give you a rough idea of how the co-op mode will work, and get your imagination going. If you're looking to be wowed by the complexity of the puzzles, check out some videos closer to the release date or walkthroughs on youtube following it's release.

But to be fair the first few levels in the original Portal were pretty quick and easy. They are only there to get you used to the mechanics of playing.

Its a teaser. That could just be the end of 'a' level.
Plus it means you could be mean and send your buddy into the smasher.
And considering they both have portals, I would surmise that it will take a lot of co-op.
[citation][nom]Fetal[/nom]i am not attracted to this game. why?[/citation]
Because you've never played it. I was the same way before I got it free from Steam one weekend, but it's awesome once you start playing it.
Its funny that level is actually more complicated than it first seemed. You really do need two people to solve it. Really looks live valve is putting a lot of work into portal though... I hope the big budget treats the game well.

I was just very underwhelmed after the jaw dropping teaser of the single player content. Not like it has lessened my anticipation for the game itself. I'm sure later levels will be more complex and interactions with the other player more critical to complete each puzzle.
Agreed that it's actually a good example. Understated yet with some depth. You couldn't do it single. The "jumper" can't use its portal gun at all... the fizzler would close any portal created by the jumper's gun. And the timing for the final portal needs to be right. And if they incorporate the 'paints' too, these could be some mind-numbing puzzles!
I fail to see the excitement in the portal games. Yes I played portal 1 & found it to be pretty lame & lacking. I guess people liked it because it was different from other games & there is nothing wrong with that. I will have to pass on portal 2 but it will most likely come with the HL 3 game pack when it is at some point released.

To each his own. I know that I will have hours of fun with my brothers playing portal coop. I was hoping for coop in the original portal, so this will be cool.
