More possible mods in the future! For now, I recommend checking out Zepalesque42's 'Portal: Enrichment' Mod video series... 👁👁

[TheMagmaKnigh]

I can't believe I never recognized the incinerator room or the fact we went backwards through Portal 1's final chamber 😮

[widmo]

I never actually recognized that that's the incinerator room from the first game. I assumed it was just somehow next to chamber 19

[markrobershorts]

Valve really should have put more hints into that area, your mod looks incredible.

[Lunarcreeper]

the real continuity error is the fact the dual portal device is in the incinerator room instead of glados' room

[JRHainsworth]

I think, just like the changes in some of the early chambers, these "errors" could be explained by the facility continuing to run for a bit after GlaDOS died. For instance, fixing the places that allowed a test subject to escape.

[DaRealBruner]

I guess lore wise, if you wanted to ignore Valve just being big dumb dumb, you could argue the room above the incinerator got quietly walled off by GlaDOS using metal panels or something.

[thatanimeweirdo]

I do think they deliberately left these out (at least the incinerator rooms). It's at the very beginning of the game and players could very quickly get drawn to this area, thinking it's the way to go and trying to access it somehow.

[AmBush]

Only the most dedicated fans would notice an omission like this, and as they said on the portal 2 GDC, "As long as your retcon is better or more interesting than what you're retconing, most people won't care." Not a direct quote, but same meaning.

[FERAATACANDO]

It feels so much more rewarding to have played the first game now

[grantb]

Absolutely impeccable hammer work my friend! This looks great and fits with the theme of Portal 2's art style. Overgrown chambers are very hard to detail correctly, but to fit this stuff in with existing map geometry while not majorly editing the entire section is amazing. Great work, and amazing attention to detail.

[tech]

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was walled off because play testers kept trying to get up there.

[davidblauyoutube]

The biggest continuity error in Portal 2 is that you go through all the trouble to destroy the neurotoxin generator, then Wheatley just somehow turns it back on at the end.

[VerbDoesStuff]

I noticed the backwards test chamber thing after seeing the 19 sign after replaying it the gazillionth time, and i almost IMMEDIATELY noticed the missing hole. Nice that some random person years later finally fixed it lol nice

[GinnyHigerd]

I've played this game backwards, forwards, sideways, and got it tattooed on my arm and somehow I STILL DIDN'T REALIZE WE WERE GOING BACKWARDS THROUGH CHAMBER 19.

[tTaseric]

I think it's fine.

Yeah it's a continuity error, but I like it. The entire point of this section is that Glados is essentially 'reversing' your escape, now that she's caught onto your tricks. By going through the same areas, but Chell's escape routes are simply gone, it adds to the despair that the first half of Chapter 2 is about.

I'm probably just taking it too seriously though, great video and very cool mod

[_TheDoctor]

Now I wanna see a mod that adds a modernized version of the Portal 1 GLaDOS model into Portal 2 with properly scaled proportions, updated textures, and better rigging. If executed well, I think it would look really cool, since Portal 1's GLaDOS design is how she looked in the comic too so in theory thats the "canon" design. Would love to see the GLaDOS wake up cutscene with the Portal 1 design swapped in.

[youtub-fjmu]

I love how this scene implies the portal gun remained operational up to 4000 Kelvin

[asdfghjkl-rvwt]

Maybe the continuity reason for why the escape for Portal 1 is walled is that she saw you go through that room and walled it, while you were still on your way to her. The reason she would have walled it is in case of future test subjects, and she was confident that she would kill you.

[epicalworlds]

I'd definitely love to see more Portal 2 mods from you, from this video alone i'm already very impressed. If you do in the future make more portal 2 mods i would like to see some more portal 1 references in the game, maybe even the room just before the Glados room in portal 1 with the turret ambush. Anyways this is amazing keep up the good work!
