Portal is probably the best puzzle/action game I have ever played and ever will play.

I'd say there's maybe a 10% chance the controls wouldn't bite the big one. I know theres a few places in Portal that even using a keyboard and mouse were hard to get past... I don't even want to think how hard they'd be using crappy touchscreen controls I highly doubt this will ever make it to market. 1) I don't think Apple would approve it for the app store given the tenuous licensing complications it could cause. 2) It's much more likely that whoever made this video did so by simply making a video of gameplay, disabling touchscreen on the iPhone, playing the video and tapping like they were playing. 3) Even if this is real and does come out...

You had to have Portal to run it and Valve has always been cool with the mod community for its games (except when the mod does something like make Alyx run around naked or something) This Portal game for the iPhone is not a mod, it's a new game made using the Unity engine and Valve will not be cool with it. Maybe these guys will strike some deal with Valve to have Valve publish it but just because Valve hasn't squashed Portal Prelude doesn't mean they'll be fine with this.

Why not? I played a Unity demo of this same portal functionality (from the same author, I assume) around 2 years ago, posted to the Unity forums. It wasn't on iPhone and the it was just an experiment with simpler crates, but it worked fine. And Unity has come a LONG way since then. I assume it's real. Why not?
