Companion Cube?

[Twilight Mage]

Who else really hopes the Companion Cube will make a stealth comeback? As in it's hidden away in some remote corner of an area.

I know I'm not the only one that would love to be able to rescue the companion cube from Portal 2.

[kirbyfan8]

The cube deserves respect, not a flashy entrance. So yeah, a hidden room would be a very nice addition.

Do you think it should be insanely hard or just extremely hard to get to the companion cube?
On that note, it'd be a great way for the Portal makers to put together the most complicated puzzle they can fathom and then put it into the game.

...Or you could be really satirical and show the player a room in which companion cubes are mass produced, with a few snarky comments from GLaDOS. Would be a nice way to connect the two games as well as a very good "moment" for the player.

But how would you tell which one is the true companion cube?

spycheck.

I'll get my W and M1 warmed up :cool:

[minilandstan]

You left the companion cube to burn for 100 years
You think it still loves you?

[Fierylite]

Of course it does! :D

[Gavade]

There is more than '1' companion cube at Aperture.......

[L. Power]

I hope there will be a much longer level with the CC and this time, it speaks!

[gamer1973]

Maybe as a secret easter egg? (leads to or needed to enter a secret room?)

[oreov1]

It should be in the room from portal, hidden away in some ridcoulously hard place with the cake :D

[zapmunk]

THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE COMPANION CUBE. ALL OTHER COMPANION CUBES ARE EVIL IMPERSONATORS. THE REAL COMPANION CUBE ESCAPED AND WAS REPLACED BY A FAKE COMPANION CUBE BY GLADOS. COMPANION CUBE IS STILL ALIVE. HAVE FAITH, YOU WILL BE REUNITED.
(unlike all the turrets in chamber 16. they are all very dead. the aperture science material emancipation grid will do that.)

[xxxVJ300xxx]

I hope there will be a much longer level with the CC and this time, it speaks!

If it speaks, I think it will threaten to stab you.

[Hoss]

It can't be the same. The joke was already tired so something new would be preferable.

[Coconut]

I'm sure faithful companion cube created an escape portal seconds before being burned alive.

And I would bet it'll be back as a non-essential part of the game. To create Portal 2 without so much as a nod to the companion cube would be uncharacteristic and unexpected.

[bonkabonka]

In the Gi article stated that valve doesn't want to re-use jokes at all.

So the CC would at best make a cameo.

[Moleculor]

I'm hoping I'll find the melted slag of what used to be a companion cube.

[Lemonosity]

What's equally as painful is if you actually revisited Chamber 17 from the original Portal (BTS maybe?).

You walk in and there's rubble and broken and twisted metal, foliage is taking over, and sad music plays when you get into the incinerator room.

And threatens to stab you! EDIT: Yay ninjas :)

This. Go through the old 17 while moving between new chambers.

Although, it could be hidden in an out-of-the-way spot, like the last radio.

[trenmost]

maybe na achievement like "Little Rocket Men" in EP2? but with the cube

[Mr.Pringles]

It would be cool if you would get some kind of achievement
for finding the companion cube.
And also it would be cool if you would get an achievement
for carrying the cube through out the whole game.
Or until it gets vaporized.

[thorvan]

But how would you tell which one is the true companion cube?
None of the companion cubes is the "true" companion cube. They're mass produced, each incinerated cube replaced at the beginning of the test chamber with a new cube, waiting for a new test subject. Noclip to the beginning of test chamber 17 after killing the cube and a new one drops out of the same tube for you.
If by the "true" companion cube you mean your cube, it's incinerated.

This, Very this, Very very this,

[seven324]

the companion cube NEEDS a big, grand enterance.

Something like you enter a dark, unlit room. The lights slowly turn on until theres only one corner unlit, flashing multi-coloured lights turn on and shows the companion cube. Could also be some sort of rave music playing at the same time.


It would be awesome.

[Suntro]

I clearly rememeber euthanising the cube. It's dead.

[Daniel Brown]

"You euthanized your faithful Companion Cube more quickly than any test subject on record. Congratulations."

There's one for every test subject; they're mass produced, just as the ones with just the Aperture Science logo are.

But this one was MY companion cube!

Or a room showing a evil companioncube prepping to throw you in the Emergency Intwlligence incenorator!

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to give you a TUI (typing while intoxicated).

[Hannibal942]

Imagine, a room full of companion cubes and Glados mocks you because you can only save one.

[zapmunk]

"Dont forget to share your companion cubes, <subject name here>"

[gamer1973]

Wait a second, what if the Companion Cube gets upgraded and becomes a NPC?

[jimmysmitty]

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to give you a TUI (typing while intoxicated).

Actually its typing from my EnV Touch which is hard sometimes since my thumb can press 2 - 3 keys at a time easily on the main screen or the keyboard.

[Munkyman720]

Companion Ball (from the advanced chambers) needs to make a cameo. I know they have storage ball/buckets in Portal 2, but it needs to be the Companion Ball!

[Daft Pink]

I can guarantee the Companion Cube will at least make an appearance in-game.
