Wheatley shouldn't just be floating around in space.

Page 1 of 3Next

He really shouldn't. The portal you shoot on the moon has to be facing earth, even if it is at an angle. Assuming that the vacuum force was enough to launch Wheatley free from the moon's gravity (which I doubt) he shoud've been launched into a decaying orbit around Earth. Remember, all Aperture Science Technologies remain fully operational up to 4000 degrees Kelvin, so he would survive reentry into the atmosphere. Actually landing safely? I doubt it. Also, even if he were to be flung out into space, why would the Space Core be orbiting him? They have the same hardware. And another thought; The sudden pressure loss Chell must have experienced would have been enormous when she was sucked through the portal. It should have killed her, or at least given her an extremely bad case of the bends.

Any other thoughts on this? I might add more later, but I have to go to bed now.

Unrealistic endings = Profit

But really, do we really have to argue about if it's realistic or not? Would you rather just have Chell press a button and blow up Wheatley then the game ends? :boring:

Well...

Big Mood

Putting a portal on the moon and going into space was awesome! Who doesn't agree?

Yes, it was awesome! But I don't like that it was a scripted video. I shot the orange portal on the moon, no blue! Also, please don't tell me that I'm the only one who screamed "NO!!" and tried to grab Wheatley with my own hands when GLaDOS let him go?

Of course we have to argue if it's realistic or not! :kermit:

I don't know. I'm envisioning a Portal 3 (whether Valve makes it or it's a mod, I don't care) where Chell has found a gravity gun (that is from the game "Half-Life" isn't it? And I think I heard somewhere that Portal and Half-Life intertwine?), and is using it to - I don't know, stuff - and Wheatley comes falling out of the sky (of course, screaming "CATCHMECATCHMECATCHMECATCHMECATCHMECATCHMECATCHMECATCHME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"), and she uses it to slow his fall and save him. Then, with the help of, well, anything that Chell has found left on Earth (wasn't there some alien invasion?) they march off to Aperture to defeat GLaDOS once and for all.

Yeah, I get where NeXT-Gen_P0rtal is coming from. I mean Wheatley is just as hilarious as GLaDOS is and he ends up gets sucked into space for nothing. His incompetence almost destroyed the facility, but the body he was connected to made him crazier. I think Wheatley deserves at least one more game considering the all the times he helped Chell out.

The part where Portal and Half-Life "intertwine" as you put it, is the Borealis appearing in HL2 Ep.2. The dock the Borealis was in is in Portal 2 in the underground area.
Wheatley's incompetence will destroy the Combine! :lol:

Crazy is as crazy does.

He was launched out into space. It doesn't take much effort to "ignore gravity." Earth also doesn't have a large atmosphere, (in relative terms) so he won't be effected by gravity just because Earth is somewhere in the radius of where he was launched (I was wrong about this). Space core wouldn't of been able to interrupt Wheatley if he weren't orbiting him. Also, it would be a bad ending if you died at the climax of the game. Bad way to make a game, heh.
