Portal: PS Vita

[Lizard Lad]

“Portal: PS Vita” may not be the official title, it’s just what I am calling the concept.

This thread is a message to Valve about making a PS Vita verson of Portal. So if you think this is a good idea or have something else to say, please comment and keep this thread alive so Valve takes this idea into consideration. Let them know that we want this!

Summary:
Take the already amazing Portal series and create a spin off for the most powerful console-like handheld system to date: The PS Vita. The Vita has many features that a console and most PCs do not have such as a gyroscope, accelerometer, touch screen, rear touch panel, microphone and front and back cameras built in as a standard, so they are not going to vary from user to user. Using these features and a little imagination, A new breed of Aperture Brand Testing can begin, Anywhere!

Portal PS Vita would be an amazing game on a portable handheld full of possibilities and the sheer power to handle it. If you think this is a good idea or have something else to say, please comment and keep this thread alive so Valve takes this idea into consideration! If we all work together and get Valve’s Attention, you could help start the creation of a thought provoking, innovative, fun puzzle game that can be played virtually anywhere! Now wouldn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?

In Depth Details:

Single player Plot: After Atlas and P-Body save science, GLaDOS manages to find schematics written by Cave Johnson himself for prototype attachments for the portal gun (puzzle elements for Vita controls). She quickly builds them and sends you, a customizable character (the "someone else" she has from her song, one of the cryogenic humans from Portal 2 Co-op), to test them out and see if they are ready for mass testing. You go through different test chambers, escape blah blah blah. Valve can make the real story...

Online and NFC Co-op plot: Atlas and P-Body aren't done yet, GLaDOS makes cooperation courses using the vita control elements. In the end, they somehow save science again. Valve is in charge of any story, They know how to do it right.

Vita control implementation:

NOTE: These are simply examples of what the control elements could do. It's up to Valve to decide what the cool new features are!

Touch screen: Easy portal placing, button tapping, cube grabbing,action!

Rear touch panel: Place portals through portals by tapping underneath your portals.

Gyroscope: Change gravity inside of an area, send those turrets and cubes flying, turning or flipping!

Front camera: make faces to taunt turrets from safety, sending them into a rage and causing them to fall over or shoot things to help you.

(Optional) 3G: Play co-op in the car, on the bus or while camping! Always be online! (Requires the right system and a subscription fee)

Microphone: Sneak up behind a turret and shout "BOO!", scaring it silly. Pure comic relief, but still a fun Easter egg type thing to throw in there.

Rear camera: Something with Augmented Reality or pictures. Not light sensing though, It is super annoying.

Accelerometer: Flick the vita to throw a cube at Turrets, Over walls through portals. the possibilities are endless!

Internal components, CPC, GPU, HD OLED screen: Great graphics and big sized games are possible on the Vita. Look at Wipeout 2048 or Uncharted, Golden Abyss screenshots, they look almost like a PS3. Also look at Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. That is a massive game!


Conclusion:
Portal: PS Vita would be an amazing game on a portable handheld full of possibilities! If we can get Valve’s Attention, we all could all help create a thought provoking, innovative, fun puzzle game that can be played virtually anywhere! The best part is that the PS Vita has the processing capabilities to handle console-like games, so Portal: PS Vita

Do it, but the gyro should require you to be near gyro buttons

[Lizard Lad]

Yeah. A Gyro button would only control a certin area

Is no one interested?

No one is interested because PS VITA has no games, and no one is going to get a PS vita just for portal.

No games Huh? Yeah you might want to check that out... Plus there are many Portal Fans who would get A PS vita for Portal. People are doing it for Pokemon on the 3ds... I know I would buy a Vita for it if i didn't OWN one.

I was speaking figuratively, no one would release a handheld with no games. The PSVITA is 200-300 dollars new, you then have to buy a memory stick/card for the price of 1-3 games. You then have to buy the game which averages above 20 dollars. Then you have the problem with the game list which is puny, as such your taste might not find anything worth playing.

For the same amount of money spent on a vita, you could've gotten an android phone or iphone to feed your need for mobile gaming with a massive library of variety gaming. With the Nvidia shield's release the PSVITA will become even more irrelevent.

Also your analogy for pokemon is clever but you left out one important fact, the original pokemon gameshark format doesn't appear on any other platform. Fans of the game have no choice but to buy it on the 3DS.

Portal fans on the otherhand can get their enjoyment from playing it on the PC, PS3, or XBOX 360 while maintaining mobile gaming with angrybirds, etc on their handheld phones.

Sheild doesn't allow you to play console games unless you are sitting in your house next to your PC that HAS to have a Special GPU AND has to be connected to the same Wi-Fi as that computer. So you have to pay probaly $500 for sheild. $100+ for a Special GPU, even more for Wi-Fi and plan, A Wi Fi adapter if you have a tower. All so you can't even walk out the door with it. If i wanted to play Android games with a controller I would have bought the PSP Phone. I'm not a Sony Fanboy but if you actually want to play mobile games that aren't Angry Birds, Sony does that the best. Nintendo has great 1st party titles, but Sony's Hardware crushes. The Vita may be pricey, I admit it. If Sony wasn't so stubborn, It would be sold out for a long time. But Vita offers specs on a mobile device that can play REAL games like an Assassins Creed side story (Not Apps) and crushes any compititon as of now.

Pokemon:
1- System exclusive
2- 324524 more times popular than portal
3- When it gets released on the DS, its a new installment, not a 10 years old port.

And the quantity of PSV games =/= Quality. There isn't a single game on the PSV that grabs my interest. To me, I would prefer playing emulated NES/SNES games than any of those "REAL" games.

Besides, the LAST thing PSV needs is another port.

Not a port, A spinoff series... Did you even read the post?

Honstley I think when the people on the steam fourms see the word console they freak out about it if it isn't steam powered.
