Portal 2 adds PS Move support next week
Valve's puzzler on PS3 to support Sony's motion controller with new update November 6; "In Motion" DLC also out that day for $10.
PlayStation 3 gamers will be able to control Valve's puzzler Portal 2 in an all new way next week. Sony has announced that Portal 2 for PS3 will support PlayStation Move with the arrival of a new update November 6. The game's entire single-player and cooperative campaigns will support motion control through the free update.
Additionally, Sony announced that the Portal 2 "In Motion" downloadable content will arrive alongside the update next Tuesday. This content was developed by Sixense with an aim to be the "defining experience" for PlayStation Move, Sony said. It will be available for $10 and PlayStation Plus subscribers can enjoy a 30 percent markdown, bringing its cost to about $7.
The Portal 2 "In Motion" DLC includes 20 test chambers that scale in difficulty from tutorial levels to advanced scenarios. Gamers can play as either Atlas or P-Body in the content and leverage new motion features like 1-to-1 object control, "Portal Surfing," and scaling cubes.
Gamers who enjoy the Portal 2 "In Motion" DLC may be happy to know there appears to be more motion-control content for the game in the pipeline. Sixense said the new content is "just the beginning," but did not elaborate further.
Also out November 6 will be a digital version of Portal 2 through the PlayStation Network. No price for the full-game download was announced. For more on Portal 2, check out GameSpot's review.

Who Cares :P
PS Move
Kinect
All motion sensitive and touch screen controls need to p*ss off
im sick of them already, i dont want them to take over :(
i was thinking about getting this game now I have to on NOV. 6
Duh, I gave away my PS move away last week. Then again, I traded Portal 2 many months ago, Still have the PC version tho'
Now they come out with DLC? I beated this game like a year ago.
gr8 game. fav from last yr for sure!!
Huh I guess that's one big thing that PS move does that Kinect doesn't
Awesome! Can't wait.
I still wish Valve would release the original Portal on PSN. I already own that game on Steam but I would definitely pick it up for $9.99 on PSN with trophies.
Dear Valve, Great game, but let's get these F***ing DLCs out faster. I've been playing BF3, BL2, Dishonored... I almost forgot that Portal 2 still exsisted. GET THE CONTENT OUT FASTER! - Sincerly, Frustrated gamer.
Codester_41 If it were any developer other than Valve, that would be a reasonable request. However, Valve simply doesn't care how long the players have to wait for something. For example, Half-Life 3 is always three or more years away, at any given moment.
Spartan_418 Codester_41 So glad they went for episodic content instead of full sequels. Imagine the wait if that was the case.
Too bad I sold my PS3 copy to just keep the PC copy that came with it so long ago.
Portal is a bad smelled shit
GamerMani Guess someone couldn't figure out simple puzzles.
No worries, the next Call of Duty will practically play itself for you, no thinking required. You just shoot anything that moves and walk down the hallway tot he next over the top action scene.
GamerMani FANBOY COD SUCK
Ha! Now that sounds like a good time!
20 new test chambers??? I'm so getting this :) , only $7
The move sucks, I can vouch for that
where does it fit into the story ??
RIIIIKU Maybe just random levels
RIIIIKU with no story
PS3 Portal 2 version is already great as it came with the PC version for free, it allowed you to play with PC gamers/friends along with PS3 friends, and it came with Steamworks. Pretty radical.
I suppose this is nice for Move fans as well.
Portal a worse game i ever played
GamerMani your english is as bad as your opinion
sortajan
i regard valve as an indie group doesnt have any big title in the gaming world . Fucked Valve
GamerMani sortajan .........Doesn't have any big titles ????...... dude.... just go play some COD and stop embarrassing yourself....
GamerMani sortajan Half life Muthafucka!
GamerMani Portal a game you NEVER played or even Looked at
GamerMani
Portal is one of the most unique games ever made! You probably could not make it out the first test chamber, but that's ok...you should go back to school anyways.

Portal 2 should have gotten a lot more DLC by now, awesome game. I just traded mine 2 weeks ago
rfalstad lol, well, bad news for you :PI was about to do that but glad I didn't.
Good news for me, I only got a PS Move a week or so ago.
Hell ya!!! Portal 2!!! Gotta love Valve and of course GLaDOS ;)
Nahhh maybe just Valve, awwwh who am I kidding GLaDOS was awesome too lol
Great. PC gets the level editor, PS gets this DLC and so far nothing new for the Xbox version of Portal 2. I guess this is just bad karma for that Skyrim DLC debacle.
mboettcher kinect support maybe?
maxordw Tempting, but still no reason to buy a kinect.
maxordw mboettcher Kinect isn't accurate enough to do many of the more advanced levels with.
Toysoldier34 maxordw mboettcher
Actualy, this was on the PC. The levels were created as part of a promotional bundlefor Sixsense's Razer Hydra controller. Here's the evidence:

It is quite literally the same thing. On the positive side, you don't have to spend over 100 dollars for it this time.
Toysoldier34 maxordw Because HD cameras would have made the Kinect prohibitively expensive this generation. Kinect might be a good peripheral, but probably not until next generation when there is more processing power to crunch HD video data.
mboettcher Don't forget cross play among PC and PS3 players.
zzamaro Yeah, why a Microsoft console doesn't play nice with a mostly Microsoft Windows based world is beyond me. The things I'll do for Halo and Gears of War.
mboettcher zzamaro
I think I might knwo why they don't cross-platform well...
Microsoft wouldn't sell as many games on the console if they were available on the PC.
The 'Xbox' was designed with the DirectX API so there really shouldn't be an excuse why they couldn't simply port the games with mouse/keyboard support.
mboettcher Good point.
Clearly Valve understands the PS3 more than Bathesda.
Honestly Bethesda's excuse for no DLC for Skyrim on PS3 is lame and insulting,but this is the wrong place for this for that.
mboettcher It is bad Karma for Microsoft and putting so many limits on their stuff. Valve would have added steam works to the 360 version but Microsoft wouldn't allow them too.
