Nvidia offers up another look at Portal with ray tracing ahead of its release.

December 8 is the release date set for Portal with RTX, a free DLC update to those that own the original Portal that will add full ray tracing capabilities and enhanced visuals. This release will also add DLSS 3 support to the game, though it is unclear if DLSS will be usable in the non-ray traced version of the game.

Though free to everyone that owns Portal, Portal with RTX will only be realistically...

It's Portal but now with ray-traced cake.

Nvidia's GTC keynote earlier today contained news about the new (and very expensive) 40-series of RTX cards. In addition, the company also announced Portal with RTX. As you can probably assume from its name, this is an RTX-enhanced version of the classic puzzle game from Valve.

Portal with RTX includes updated visuals along with real-time ray tracing. It seems as though a bulk of the grunt work on Portal with RTX is being handled...

As part of a previously mentioned required test protocol, we can no longer lie to you. When the testing is over, you will be missed.

Earlier today during that Nintendo Direct Mini, Valve announced that Portal: The Companion Collection is now officially available on the Nintendo Switch. The going price is just $19.99 (USD) and can be purchased right now from My Nintendo Store.

Time is not on his side.

Co-writer on Portal and Portal 2, Erik Wolpaw, says that he would love to work on Portal 3, but there are some hurdles at Valve to overcome.

Wolpaw recently appeared in the Kiwi Talkz podcast (embedded below). Near the end of the interview, Wolpaw says, "we've gotta start Portal 3. That's my message to... to whoever." He continues on to say that he isn't getting any younger and that if Valve wants to do Portal 3 with any of the original...

And so is the sequel.

Nintendo and Valve just announced that both Portal games are coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year. The compilation is called Portal: Companion Collection and it bundles both Portal and Portal 2 together for $19.99 (USD) through the Nintendo eShop.

In case you have no idea about either of these games, Valve provided a little synopsis for both of them, which you can read below. It should be noted here that The Companion Collection marks the...

New levels and portal placement finally arriving.

On November 12, Headup and ClockStone Software will release the first DLC for Bridge Constructor Portal on the PC via Steam, consoles like the Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices such as Android and iOS. This new DLC is called "Portal Proficiency" and will provide players with new levels, and a long-requested feature.

Coming next week will be 30 new test chambers that will perplex even the most seasoned...

Chet Faliszek, formerly of Valve, and Dr. Kimberly Voll, formerly of Riot Games, have teamed up to create a new development studio.

The studio, called Stray Bombay, aims to create games that focus on social experiences between players. In his time at Valve, Faliszek is credited for having worked on the writing for the Portal franchise along with bringing Left 4 Dead to the world. Voll is leaving her position as the principal technical game designer at Riot.

When I think of Bridge Constructor, I think about how great it would be with some of that hot Portal content. What do you know, they went ahead and made that dream come true.

Bridge Constructor Portal is a real game and it's really coming out on December 20, 2017 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices. Consoles will get to play this in early 2018. I have no idea yet how much it will be, but you can at least check out the Steam page for pricing updates.

Another amazing talent parted ways with Valve today. Erik Wolpaw, the writer best known for his work on the Portal games, both of the Half-Life 2 episodes, and Old Man Murray, has officially left Valve.

Wolpaw was also a co-writer for Left 4 Dead. Prior to his work at Valve, Wolpaw helped to write Psychonauts with Double Fine Productions. Back in 2004, Wolpaw was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and planned to quit Valve as he wouldn't be able to fulfill his duties due to a worsening...

A new puzzle platformer is nearly here from Bulkhead Interactive and publisher Square Enix and it's called The Turing Test. I was fortunate enough to get some hands-on time with the game earlier this month ahead of its August 30 release. A part of the restriction I was given was that I was to share nothing beyond the third chapter of the game. A review is forthcoming but perhaps a look at the first three chapters will be enough for you to decide if you are interested in the game or not...
