    Portal: The prequel should be made, where you play as Doug Rattman

    • @Ruminations09
      @Ruminations09 9 років тому +40

      Except we already know Doug's story. He worked for Aperture, and was the only one to survive GLaDOS's neurotoxin when she was activated. He moved Chell to the top of the test subject list, and then just hid. That's the entirety of his story.

    Actually, it's not artificial consciousness. It's brain mapping. Aperture didn't create GLaDOS, they uploaded Caroline. They had already created many forms of AI even with personalities and voices. GLaDOS isn't a core, she's a person without a human body.

    • @eclipses6605
      @eclipses6605 4 роки тому +19

      No, Caroline is just a part of GLaDOS's AI. And there is a différence between making an AI and making an AI with à consciousness. The cores were basically byproducts of the research made to create GLaDOS since they were initially made to regulate her. Other robots like turrets aren't conscious.
      I believe the coop robots are though,but they were made after GLaDOS.
      At least this is my opinion.

    This answers a lot of the questions that have burned at me since I played portal 2, such as:
    *Why did only Chell survive? Surely if she survived on her own, someone else did. (Answer: Rattman saved her)
    *How and where and why did Rattman know to write those things on the walls? Surely another scientist would have known as well if they were still alive. (Answer: only Rattman survived)
    *Where did Rattman go? {I had always assumed that he was still alive, that he was watching you, maybe when the panels on the wall moved, he was there, looking after you}
    If you really think about it, the story of Rattman and all of Aperture science, goes deeper than you will ever know.

    That was pretty good, it really brought the comic to life, the only thing is that it was painfully obvious that the Companion Cube was made out of cardboard. And I don't care if it did kind of appear like that in the comic, you COULD have something that didn't look like a cardboard box, or at least covered it in a flat material that was flat so it looked at least somewhat metallic.

      Weird. It's almost as if it was supposed to look handmade. Like, if Doug had made it from a box out of loneliness and painted it. He even strung a rope through it to carry on his back at one point. And we thought we could fool you all. If only it were an deliberate choice of artistic license as if to make somebody say 'It's painfully obvious that it was made out of cardboard.' Better luck next time, I suppose.

    • @buckmooney9330
      @buckmooney9330 10 років тому +5

      But i also believe that she was adopted by Ratman and her first parents were cave johnson and caroline think about it the turret song talks about chell being caroline's baby and before you say "Thats impossible chell would be dead" remember chell was in stasis "She will be dead and alive untill someone opens the box"

    • @Ruminations09
      @Ruminations09 9 років тому +2

      Both of those theories are really farfetched. Doug wasn't really intent on keeping Chell alive, in fact, at the end of the first Portal game, Doug almost abandoned Chell. He just decided to move her to the top of the list because her profile said she was extremely resilient, so Doug figured that Chell was the best chance at defeating GLaDOS.
      As for the theory that she is Cave and Caroline's son: Cave died before Chell was born, or she was really young when Cave died. Cave died sometime in the 80's, and Chell was presumably less than 10 during the Aperture Science Bring Your Daughter to Work Day, which occurred sometime in the 90's. Which means when Chell was born, Cave was either already dead, or somewhere older than 60 and about to die.

    This is truly spectacular. I just love everything about it. The only problem i had with it was a small one and that is I sort of feel that the companion cube can speak not because it's an AI. But more because Doug's schizophrenia makes him imagine that the cube can speak. Or Game Theory's theory that the cubes are actually stuffed with other test subjects.

      +xX5h3D0wD3m0nXx Schizophrenia is a form of psychosis in which the brain has difficulty discerning reality from fiction. Symptoms include delirium, visual and auditory hallucinations, as well as hearing voices in your head. One might believe that they are something they're not, such as the reincarnation of a celebrity, or just see/hear things constantly. Symptoms vary from person to person, but yes, it can be credited with madness.

      @Calloffish15 11 років тому +2

      getwilly1 I actually doubt it. I think he died BUT you hear his ghost in that den. I say this because The audio track that plays in that room is called "Ghost of Rattman" And the voices are part of the track so... It possibly could be Rattman's ghost... (Plus he isnt behind any walls in the room, i made sure by noclipping...)

    • @getwilly1
      @getwilly1 11 років тому +9

      First of all I highly doubt that valve would do something as stupid as saying that Rattman died and became a ghost. Second of all OBVIOUSLY you didnt see him by nocliping you're not meant to see him.

    • @Calloffish15

    7:50 "They'll never see me behind this thin post!"
    Also, thought this was just okay. The comic version had much more depth to it as far as his schizophrenia and his relationship with the Companion Cube, specifically how his taking of the pills slowly fades the cube's "personality" until it becomes an inanimate object again. Also, the comic gave the impression that the cube was a female to Doug, in that it's colored completely pink (rather than just the hearts) and he tells it "I'll always need you". I could be misinterpreting that, but that's how it came off to me. The only difference with that is that if he's in love with the cube, it gives more depth behind his decision to take his pills, knowing he may never talk to his cube again. Then there's the actual cube itself in this video. Very poorly done, but oh well. This video is missing a few elements from the comic, but these were pretty minor things.

    • @larkm1265

    • @KingInky13
      @KingInky13 10 років тому

      Jason Phillips Sorry, but I don't think it being a short film is an excuse. It was more in the directing than the length. This video included pretty much everything from the comic, just wasn't portrayed well enough in my opinion. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, I'm giving my constructive criticism as to how I feel it could have been better.

      ***** "dead and alive until someone opens the box" is a reference to Schrödinger's cat and quantum mechanics. Schrödinger placed his cat in a box with a deadly gas capsule. The capsule had a 50% chance of opening and killing the cat. Schrödinger explained that because we can't see the cat in the closed box, we can't know if the cat is dead or alive. Therefore, the cat is both alive *and* dead at the same time until observed. The cat is in a "super position" of all possibilities.
      He then opened the box, and found his cat was still alive. He explained that all existing possibilities prior to opening the box collapse, presenting the only possibility left: The cat is alive.
      That is the basis of quantum theory, and helped shed new light on a lot of problems. The most known one being: Light is both a particle and a wave, until you observe it.
