I just finished the actual 2009 beta.

I don't know when the beta I played was made, but it had the normal reflection cubes, so I'm assuming it's from after those were finalised.

It had more content than Project 2009, but it was definitely more broken and unfinished (who could've guessed). I do prefer P2009's more connected chambers, and that it actually had the famous corehub (something I was surprised to not see in the beta, instead fading to black after getting to the glados chamber from before she woke up).

Playing these games made me realise how much I want a game like this and how much Portal 2 strayed away from Portal 1.

I genuinely wish Valve made a full game about this, with the Portal 1 look and aesthetic. It doesn't have to be valve, just someone. I NEED a full game about this where we get the core hub going and escape Aperture or die or whatever glados' plan was.

P.S: Sorry for bombarding this sub with posts like these!! I'm just very happy and excited about new content for one of my favorite games, and I want to share my opinions somewhere.
