Play the Portal: Still Alive Maps Right Now

Don't fret gentle reader, those new maps that are going to be included in Portal: Still Alive are actually select choices from already released fan-made map packs!

GameSetWatch’s redoubtable Simon Carless managed to squeeze more details out of Valve during an E3 interview. It turns out that the sum total of Portal: Still Alive’s additional content will be some of the best maps from a fan level pack. No new plot, no new GlaDOS barbs - just extra puzzles.

Specifically, puzzles from Portal: The Flash Version Map Pack, which contains 3D remakes of 40 levels from the 2D Portal remake. Sort of like the book of the film of the book. So you’re missing out on precisely diddly-squat. It’s between three and four hours of gratis Portalling, much of it very high quality. And very hard.

So go play if you’ve not already, then you can tell your 360-owning friends that you’ve played their super-duper-exclusive before they have, and they will weep and scream and grovel and proclaim you to be a superior species of humanity. Definitely. That will definitely happen.

This information comes directly from Rock, Paper, Shotgun. You may remember our previous mention of the map pack in question.
