When I look at the movie I get pretty confused, Because first you're aiming down, and suddenly you're aiming straight =/

That would be because the exit portal is poting in a direction that goes against gravity so for a few seconds you defy it which enables you to reach places in hard to get places. Once gravity grabs a hold of you you revert back to the right level of view.
It does do your eyes in though I must admit.

Cool video--and the girl robot's voice is hot :).
It will be interesting to see if these radically change gameplay, or just end up a fancy gimmick.

"Portal" has been confirmed to be set in the Half-Life universe(From Wiki)
...but... why..?
It's so.. 'not half-lifey' (other than having HL2 textures and sounds
)

I hate to say it, but that shows how insignificant this release will be. Sure, it's a great idea, but it seems like more of something that was hashed out by VALVe to keep everyone happy after they said Ep. 1 didn't have enough content. It's encouraging to see that they're responding to us, not so much by the fact that they have made a 'totally radical new concept' recreatable in Gmod

Its not that hard, a bit of coding useing the same code as the HL cameras and your good. it takes a bit more then that though to turn it into an entire game and make it stable.

A little late with the response, but I haven't been to TWHL in a while.
It looks amazing but I can see how it would work. The entrance/exit would create a camera that is viewed through the opootisde portal(extrance would look at exit and vice versa). The portal sprite would be rendered with the camera's view and when you get near the portal you would be teleported to the other portal. You can do something very similar to this in Gmod, though not quite as effectivly.

ya, it reqires a bit of engine coding to render infinite portals and such

the vid shows a smothe movement through the 2 enterances.. not an instantaneous movement, like a teleport. I wonder how they might have done that.

Look very closely at the first teleport that he does. You can see a slight jump when he goes through.

Try 'Narbacular Drop' Rotator and you'll see how.
