Portal: Still Alive Maps Are From The (Free) Flash Version!

Turns out that the extra test chambers included with the upcoming XBLA release Portal: Still Alive are actually the Flash maps we reported on a while back, Valves’s Doug Lombardi has explained.

For the uninitiated, Portal: The Flash Version is a free 2D flash implementation of Portal, and the game’s 2D environments were recently recreated for the real, 3D, version of the game. The trouble is that on the PC, they’re completely free, but the only way to get them on the 360 (or so it seems) is to pay to download them, along with a game that I already paid for once as part of The Orange Box.

Also, to add insult to injury, it seems we won’t even be getting all of the extra levels that our PC brethren have been enjoying.

Yay!??
