Portal: Still Alive’s Bonus Content isn’t Quite Exclusive

Valve’s Doug Lombardi has cleared up what sort of “bonus content” Portal: Still Alive has in store for fans. The answer? Nothing you can’t get with the PC version. Plus, there won’t be any extra dosage of everyone’s favorite homicidal AI, GladOS.

“It’s just a series of new challenges,” Lombardi told OXM. Valve sees Still Alive “as another way for people to experience Portal, without having to buy the full Orange Box.”

Those new challenges he referenced are the same levels that first appeared in the flash version of Portal, which were later realized in full 3D in the real Portal. According to GameSetWatch, there won’t be any new GladOS lines, either, which is quite unfortunate but understandable. Valve doesn’t want the story to be shaped differently on 360 than it is on PC and PS3.

With this news, the game has gone from a must-buy to something I just consider to be “nice to have on the Marketplace.” The only chance I’ll be buying Still Alive now is if the game has some interesting achievements and doesn’t cost much.
