The Removed & Lost Easter Eggs of Portal 2

UPDATE ON THE RATTMAN DISCS:
It turns out that the Co-Op Disc Sequences were actually BASED OFF THE ENTITY LOGIC for the Rattman Discs, not the other way around! Several of the logic entities that are referenced in sp_a1_intro3’s Trigger that has Dead I/O for the Discs actually still exist in the Co-Op maps that have disc sequences but are not used at all, indicating the Co-Op sequences were directly based on the Rattman Discs!

THEY MADE A G@Y GLaDOS SONG, WHY

I guess what they meant by the game becoming dated if they showed Ratman is referring to the fact that it would complicate things too much to have a human model talking to the player while the rest of the world of portal 2 consists of things that aren't real, yet are stylised so uniquely that they seem like they could exist logically, therefore making the game still seem modern. Sorry if that made no sense.

I think the Ratman disc was just going to show what the noise transmission was for the player instead of the community doing it themselves.

Kinda like a built-in decoder.

THIS WAS SIX MONTHS AGO??!!?!?

i really hope that if valve ever makes a portal 3, they bring the ratman disks back to tease it.

the betas might help you more my going to propirties then betas than click none then you will open beta virsoins of the game sorry foy my typeing

It may be a bit of a stretch, but in SPA4 "Jump polarity," perhaps the Aquarium core sequence involving disengagement from the from the management rail and toggling of its flashlight could have been refences to Wheatley's earlier dialogue in the game. Specifically expressing concern of dying from executing either of these actions. Just food for thought though, great video!

Would have been a little weird as you know, you did in fact incinerate them

Please make a part 2 about the leftover source maps

Waiter! More Portal 2 cut content I've never heard of please!

Dude if portal 3 ever becomes real the lore is gonna go deeper than the subatomic level 💀

So basicly Rattman's discs would be the same as tapes in Poppy Playtime, you have to find them, find the computer, insert disc/tape and get some lore though it.
Very sad that they scrapped this idea.

you should add a disc player thing for the ratman disc in the test chamber and see if it would work

Having these eastereggs and alternative endings in a mod would be pretty cool.

the aquarium core reveal was insane

Giddyup , Buttercup .

The Aquarium Core is a spy!

Hoopy

Honestly finding about the aquarium core got my brain wrinkling on how neat of a detail it would be seeing Wheatley gather personality cores to do… something with, at an earlier part of the story. Seeing Wheatley haphazardly toss them around in a rush for the big crush would be so cool.

When you mentioned the discs my mind went exactly to trust fling I always windered what the disc was seemed like it always was apart of something more important

you really should do a video with the Morgan Freeman Sphere, Ive never heard of that.

The first word of each portal ending song (Including lego dimensions but not don't say goodbye) say. Still want you ♥️

you need a better mic

eugh u like furry corn of minors!!! EUGHH!!!

We need a mod that adds all of these stuff back

your subtitle editing goes hard

My theory on when the ‘Don’t Say Goodbye’ song was created was likely during Core Hub Era (Early January 2009 (or maybe December 2008?)-Early December 2009) or Late Multi-Core Era (Mid February 2010-Early July 2010)

portal is literally just a lesbian love story 😭

Baller video

My moon is 14 rn

if not videos, these discs could hold sound bites of ratman and one of them could be the soft voice of him talking to us in one of the eastereggs within the released game , what's the name of that file?

i cannot believe there's always something new to learn about the portal series. this is such a monumental series of games, and i truly wish they made a new IP based on the universe centered around aperture or what have you if not portal 3

I want to go to the aquarium

Me watching:
Shows dont look at the moon creator
Me: WHAT?

It's a shame we never got to see the remade Portal 1 cores. But it makes perfect sense. They're all dead. Chell threw them into an incinerator.

WAS RTHAT LEGEND FINDER??

people still talk about portal? its like 10 years old.
I was shocked to see the timestamp of the upload

Funny how the comment you showed is from legendfinder, who is also the creator of a Minecraft ARG

Also no joke I immediately subscribed the second you started talking because I knew I would want to hear more of what you had to say
