It still takes place in the ruins of Aperture Science, but sees you guided through the initial test-chambers by pre-recordings of GLaDOS rather than Wheatley, and features other personality cores much more prominently. Curiously, a team of beta researchers and enthusiasts<a href=\"https:\/\/www.moddb.com\/mods\/portal-2-project-2009\"> recently released a Portal 2 mod<\/a> that attempts to recreate the beta build as accurately as possible, a project that took four years to realise.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"high\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/IasduVMNMq8\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In addition, Valve-focussed YouTuber and enthusiast Gabe Follower<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/gabefollower\/status\/2093806496534446200\" target=\"_blank\"> reports<\/a> that the files include the Weaponizer, an unfinished weapon that has been previously linked to Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Information about the Weaponizer appeared in a separate leak that occurred in 2011, inside a directory labelled &#8220;ep3&#8221;, while a gun that resembles the Weaponizer was shown in footage of Episode 3 that appeared in<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/YCjNT9qGjh4?t=6384\" target=\"_blank\"> Valve&#8217;s 20<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary documentary<\/a> on Half-Life 2 (via<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/valve-hack-12-tb-leak-portal-2-left-4-dead-half-life-assets\/\"> Gamerant<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Also apparently included are files (but apparently not a working build) of Valve&#8217;s cancelled puzzle game<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/were-finally-learning-more-about-valves-long-secret-portal-prequel\/\"> F-STOP<\/a>, a precursor to Portal 2 that was in-development for around a year before Valve canned the project.
