Valve has clearly put a tremendous emphasis on expanding Portal’s brain-twisting gameplay in as many ways as possible for Portal 2, but the developers have also made sure that the first game’s quirky, razor-sharp humor is just as pitch-perfect the second time around as well. Adam Rosenberg recently had a chance to watch the opening moments of Portal 2 during a recent press event, and describes some rather humorous moments, including this one:
"Moments after waking up you meet Wheatley (voiced by Stephen Merchant), a robotic orb with the voice of a dry-witted Brit. Your new friend also runs through some basic control calisthenics, culminating in him asking you to say 'apple.' An A button prompt appears on the screen, and, of course, you jump when you press it. Wheatley is miffed. The gist of his response? Maybe talking isn't so important after all."
