Hey everyone, Ossy Flawol here, and I'm back! That's right, never left. See my previous explanation video as to where I've been these past 7 months. Anyways - I wanted to delve into a fun topic to commemorate my return, being the Easter Eggs in Portal 2 that Valve ended up cutting from the final game! That's right, BETA Easter Eggs, and to seal the deal, I've got a lot of stuff you likely have never heard of. :)

UPDATE ON THE RATTMAN DISCS: It turns out that the Co-Op Disc Sequences were actually BASED OFF THE ENTITY LOGIC for the Rattman Discs, not the other way around! Several of the logic entities that are referenced in sp_a1_intro3’s Trigger that has Dead I/O for the Discs actually still exist in the Co-Op maps that have disc sequences but are not used at all, indicating the Co-Op sequences were directly based on the Rattman Discs!

I’m glad they got in somehow, I kind of wish there was more theorizing on the co-op CDs too. Even back when it first came out I thought it was so cool there were other live ‘targets’ GLaDOS was tracking, sane people who wrote on whiteboards meant for other survivors to read. I’m sure most of them weren’t super thought out, just something that she would need the bots to do, but it seems like some really cool story _could’ve_ been there.

@XeZrunner 2 ай бұрын

It makes sense to me, as co-op and its disk-related sequences were probably developed later on. The Ratman disks in the early chambers must have been a thing early on.

I prefer to think that Rattman Discs would be showing the videos of "Investment Opportunities".

I think he's totally right that showing a human character instantly dates the game. Human characters are so easy to tell when things are wrong. They will always look like a video game character and we will likely be able to tell when that character was made based on its quality. Look at hl1 scientists and hl2 civilians. They look so dated. Characters from elder scrolls that came out in the same year look outdated now. Also, rattman only being in the comics really adds mystery to him.

I think that the ratman easter egg was a idea from the early development of the game and got discarted in the mid development, this because valve released a comic called "Portal 2: Lab Rat" where they explain what happened between the two games, in that comic they show us how ratman lives in the facilities and how he avoid to use any tipe of technology, later in the comic they show the ratman's perspective of the final of portal 1, then chel is retrieve unconscious to the facilities by the Party Escort Bot, after that ratman goes again in the facilities to activate the invernation protocols that got deactived because glados being destroyed, but ratman got hit by a torret while trying to help chel and in the end he crawls to a relaxation vault, we dont know if he is dead or asleep, but with that comic is nearly impossible that ratman could make the video diaries. (the comic was released like two weeks before portal 2 was launched)

@OssyFlawol My suggestions for the aquarium core sequence: have the beam smash through the roof but not land on the ground. the beam holds the pincer arm which slides off onto the ground, dropping the aquarium core. the core speaks with intermittent shaking as the weight of the beam causes the bridge to shake before finally collapsing, through the floor. this sequence should last about 10-15 seconds. you could use an "env_shake" entity and put the bridge collapsing on its own sequence, so timing can't be interrupted by that part.

@OssyFlawol 2 ай бұрын

Aquarium Core is actually referred to as sphere02. We have several dozens choreo scene files for all of Aquarium Core’s voicelines and while we lack the sound files they would’ve played, the scene files contain their lengths, which all reveal the lines to be cut-up audio from the Oregon Coast Aquarium commercial that Valve had loved so much leading to the Aquarium Core. Space Core is effectively just a copyright free version of the Aquarium Core that was made in the final month(s) of development. They clearly used the Aquarium commercial audio as the voice direction for Space Core, but the two are very distinct and seperate beings in development, Aquarium Core just *led* to Space Core, they aren’t one in the same.

Then in modern aperture it looks like a modern tech store full of high tech and futuristic equipment. Look up frutiger aero and apple stores in the 2010s.

Well the clean white tiles are used because they found out moon rocks are great portal conductors, as for the other futuristic stuff, it’s probably just that they got a bigger budget, and were able to make those things

innovations in more efficient technology; mostly the inventions of panels and integration of ai into more modular test chambers

@@Slick_Slimble Very fair point, but if Cave was as good as bankrupt when he died, where did the finances come from to rebuild his whole facility into futuristic A.I. stuff? That'd cost a whole bunch of money which Aperture clearly didn't have (they had to lower their standards from test subjects with big payouts to homeless people and pay 60$)

@@LnyMts the sudden increase in funds can be explained by aperture being run by a hyper-efficient supercomputer, I feel. cave was running aperture as just a person, glados literally IS the facility. that's how I saw it, at least.

I think the dead I/O's are placeholders for future update like the transmition update for the Portal 1 game. If they want to make another campaign like the prevoius one, the programmers can be with little changes on the main maps without breaking the game sequences. Valve missed out several oportonities for blowing up the gamer community on april fools with a few mb updates of portal 2 on 04.01.
