I KNEW I wasn't going crazy! Actually, I've been learning c++ SPECIFICALLY to make my own portal/splatoon fan-game, ASCTI (aperture Science cephalopod testing) (now you're inking with portals)
With how much games are often inspired by others, I would not be surprised if Octo Expansion was in fact inspired by the Portal games. The escape sequence and climax especially feels far too Portal to be a coincidence
For reference, the Portal ending was originally what you see on Xbox 360, and was later patched (I suppose, only on the other platforms) to the "being dragged away" to help lead the game into 2. There was also an ARG with the radios, but I wasn't involved with it at that time.
Really interesting video. I never thought these 2 awesome games had similarities. I might add that because of their unique gaming mechanics of each of those two games series, it makes them both of them memorable on its own.
please dont be mad but ive legitamately never heard of portal. most of my childhood i played on the ipad. up until now i got my first console to play splatoon 3.
Even the protagonists are similar Chell she's stubborn and never gives up even when the odds are not in her favor, agent 8 is put in tests where she has a SEVERE disadvantage, and still comes out on top. Edit: THEN GORDON FREEMAN AND AGENT 3, BOTH ARE REALLY POWERFUL, AND ARE WAAAAAAAY MORE STUBBORN 7:57 Ha, idiot, stupid sea slug.

I guess that’s makes sense but I think the radios might have just been Ret coned ( I could be wrong)
dude this is SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED
That was very interesting
lol ive literally thought this ever since i got into portal in 2019, the parallels are crazy
i wish i had watched this earlier. love both of these games to death and never even thought about this. great vid 👍👍
As someone who loves both Portal and Octo Expansion, I really liked this video. Deserved a like, great job. :)

This should be more popular, I am now pissy and will tell people about this
I was thinking about this back at release; glad to see I'm not the only one who thought this was the case!

The resemblance is uncanny.
