Cannot recommend it in current state.
While the book is technically readable, many videos, panoramas and other interactive objects do not load as they require internet connection and hosts serving these files or scripts DO NOT longer exist.
It is some design and concept works with developer insights. What else were you expecting?
while it is cool, most of the interactive stuff appears to be broken
a ebook i can't read because im on linux....
I LOVE PORTAL so its really sad that i cant read this
Feels like I'm using Internet Explorer on Windows 11. For the die hard fans only.
A nice deepdive into Portal 2's development, as well as some insights on Valve's company structure. If you are really interested in Portal or Valve, I would definitely recommened picking this up.
Portal 2 - The Final Hours is a fun, short read if you are interested in the Portal franchise or other Valve games. Many embedded elements are not functional as of now, which is a bit frustrating to see, but I love these behind-the-scenes looks at any game I enjoy. With the Portal games being some of my favorite games of all time, I personally didn’t learn much more than I already knew due to community research osmosis, but if you aren’t as familiar with these development stories, it is much more a fascinating time. If you somehow haven’t played the Portal games before stumbling upon this digital book, please do that first, they are impeccable and perfect in my opinion, and this book functions as a delightful addition to learn how art came to be. I highly recommend it, sans the technical issues a decade later. With its cheap price, it’s hard for me to condemn. It should probably just be free and come with the base game, and it should be fixed though I do not see that happening.
its only a rerading story .......no game!
wheres the wheat
It's a good read however certain site links are MIA, 9 to be exact. However most if not all are only extra goodies that are not needed to understand to book.
