No that doesn't look "kind of like the half life 2 cross hair but also not really", it just is the half life 2 cross hair. They literally just added some more at the sides and gave it different colours

I feel like Asymmetrical is more... Intentional. Stylish. Choosing to wear two different socks, for example, perhaps one with purple dots on blue, and the other with blue dots on a purple background, I think you could say is 'asymmetrical'. Whereas the portal crosshair, with how wrong it looked... I feel unsymmetrical is more accurate. Just... Personally.
The crosshair in the beta goes up only slightly when you are facing an object you could shoot a portal on if it was bigger or flat enough to put a portal on
I think I just figured out why it’s only lit up the bottom of the portal one beta crosshair on the fire pit. There was a surface you could shoot a portal onto, but not enough surface area for a portal to exist on it.
Having the last portal light up is way more useful than having the portals that are already placed light up. There are many times where you have two portals placed and need to place one specific one, and being able to know which one would kinda help with that
The portal 1 beta crosshair actually lights up depending on the distance to the surface you're aiming at, so if the portal "bullet" will take a while to reach the surface then the crosshair is filled lower
The crosshair is actually very useful. It tells you what the last portal you placed was, so you don't accidentally place it again and lose your original placement, and it tells you if you lost a portal (which can happen).
The old Portal crosshair WAS supposed to look like the half life 2 crosshair to make it look more futuristic. And with the Portal 2 crosshair, I use it because goldfish memory.
The best crosshair in gaming is Infamous 2. Tells you if what you're aiming at is in range, almost in range, a valid target, what you current karma is and it also looks cool as hell.
I actually like certain surfaces having different amounts of the crosshair full cause in lore moon rock is just supposed to be the most safe to use without risk of death or injury but lots of other surfaces work with portals. Itd be kinda cool to see roughly the risk of you coming out in little bits on different surfaces lol.
They probably made the crosshair show the last fired portal because they were testing to make sure the portal would react accurately based of what was fired. As a programmer some times you just need to test code and don’t care about utility. Need to test that input buffering is working? Turn the character a different color every time you buffer an input. Odds are this was to demonstrate a dynamically changing crosshair, but they hadn’t fully programmed or planned what info it would display.
Based on the 2 bars i feel like soild "smaller" bar is saying what ones are not placed or is placed and the bigger bar would probably be how far away each portal is lower farther more filled closer
Ok, so good idea. I constantly forget which portal I used. So, take the Portal 1 crosshair and the Portal 2 crosshair and combine them. The inner rings are which portal is active, the outer is the last one shot.
Yeah you fire a portal and run for 20 seconds around 3 corners with no line of sight, you kind of want and NEED to know what the portal was that you fired if you've forgotten. Even with the crosshair I've (an embarrassing number of times) fired the wrong portal plenty of times and exclaimed "FUCK wrong portal!🤦♂️"
Hot-take. I love the portal 2 beta croshair as an idea. Im so glad it was adapted into the light-bar colour for psmove, DS4 and Deulsence controllers. The amount of times ive forgotten what way round my portals where and have looked at my controller is consirning
I miss the dot to the left or right from the Portal 1 crosshair that shows you what the last portal you placed was, they should've included that in Portal 2
If there's a thing I could say I hated about Portal 2, it's that crosshair. Without the function of lighting up on a portal surface, it made it quite hard to find where I could go when I first got to the underground.
still better than the current portal 2 crosshair which is literally useless if you've already placed both portals, idk why they didn't just keep the portal 1 crosshair
When I played portal 2, I just switched off the crosshair. I like the portal 1 crosshair, it was dynamic and made sense but now it’s only a big crosshair that distracts.
To everyone saying that the portal gun crosshair showing you what portal you last fired is was better. *HAVE ANY OF YALL LOOKED AT YOUR DUAL PORTAL DEVICE?!?!* It literally shows you what portal you last placed, and it doesn’t swap colors or even light up until a new portal is placed. I literally just hopped on the chapter 3 dev commentary to test this, IT TAKES FIVE SECONDS TO PROVE THAT THAT BETA HUD IS LITERALLY POINTLESS
Tottaly unconected but what if a fan game (with permision from Valve) was made to look like the original distopian Half Life 2 beta, with the green gases, dark atmosfere etc.
BUT I REALLY WISJ THERE WAS A WAY TO KNOW WHAT PORTAL I LAST FIRED SO I DON'T MESS THINGS UP ALL THE DAMN TIME BC I HAVE SHIT MEMORY.. Hmm oh i see that crosshair aint in the modern game.. Darn..
Dude. Its what made the game different compared to cod and minecraft. Also have you actually played Portal 1 & 2 by your self, no external help? You will forget where and which portal you fired and you need that reminder otherwise you have to start over. Playing the portal 2 co-op; helps even more there.
I'm not sure why they went with that for the Portal 2 beta when the light on the portal gun already shows you the last portal that you placed
Wait, that’s what that little light means? 🤯
it was probably made in like 2 minutes
@coocato no?
Well in hl2 you can also see your ammo in the bottom right but also on your corsshair, health too. It's just for convenience.

The fire pit part made me think that it's crosshair's intrusive thoughts.

My father's ringtone is Portal's music, this short's driving me crazy
Based father I should do that too
I see people saying the corsshair that shows you the last portal made was the best and and the worst. Goes to show you cant please everyone
The crosshair in the beta goes up only slightly when you are facing an object you could shoot a portal on if it was bigger or flat enough to put a portal on
for some reason i have a Mandela effect that i played with that beta crosshair
the second one is in portal 1 it shows what portal is opened
Portal still alive trailer maybe
I think I just figured out why it’s only lit up the bottom of the portal one beta crosshair on the fire pit.
There was a surface you could shoot a portal onto, but not enough surface area for a portal to exist on it.
Feels like they didn't "change" it, they "fixed" it to function the way it was intended to
Having the last portal light up is way more useful than having the portals that are already placed light up. There are many times where you have two portals placed and need to place one specific one, and being able to know which one would kinda help with that
The portal gun color changes based on that already though
The portal gun does that itself though.

@@mesaplayer9636 that doesn't mean you can't look at the portal gun? It's not like it's an active action game
@@slimesus Bro's never seen the tests where you gotta rapid fire like 2-3 portals back to back, 😭.
I love that in Portal: Revolution, you can change between the Portal 1 and 2 cross hair.
The portal 1 beta crosshair actually lights up depending on the distance to the surface you're aiming at, so if the portal "bullet" will take a while to reach the surface then the crosshair is filled lower
I think that that the fill up crosshair is a how close you are to a portable surface
The showing what portal you fired last is actually really useful. It looks horrendous but its very useful
portal 1 crosshair is the goat
The crosshair is actually very useful.

When you walk throught the fizzler the portal gun has a seizure or something💀
funny is about the last crosshair in the video, The Colour in what the Portal-Gun Lights up is the colour of the last shot Portal😊
Oh so thats where the gmod portal gun came from
Portal 1 crosshairs is the best one
Idk why they changed it for the 2nd one to where it’s always light up if you’ve created a portal
Based on the 2 bars i feel like soild "smaller" bar is saying what ones are not placed or is placed and the bigger bar would probably be how far away each portal is lower farther more filled closer
Dang where was Chell D: Was she just added shortly before launch??
I feel the portal 2 crosshair for the full game is actually perfect. Shows the portals while making a portal
Most time it won't,
Ok, so good idea. I constantly forget which portal I used. So, take the Portal 1 crosshair and the Portal 2 crosshair and combine them. The inner rings are which portal is active, the outer is the last one shot.
a mix of one beta and 2 beta is the best
knowing what portal you fired last is legitimately useful though.. jit trippin

isnt there a light on the portal gun itself for that
Portal 1's crosshair did show which you last placed via a small dot on the side and I do miss it in Portal 2

compare it to the Portal 1 crosshair and then come back

Crosshairs peak never say that again
I wonder what portal I placed last time...
But I disabled the Portal 2 crosshair because it's absolutely horrible...

DARN
Wait, when I played portal, I never even realized the crosshair was weird
Beta
It shows how far your crosshair you are from that portal
Mabye it was just how good of a "portal conductor" that surface is???
I would have like the one for what portal you last fired, def could have done things faster
It's not the last portal color fired
It shows you all the portals you've already deployed on a wall
To everyone saying that the portal gun crosshair showing you what portal you last fired is was better.

Still doesnt effect the gameplay the cross is just there to know if you used a portal or not
