A fan made mod.
Not to take anything away from them but other than not being on an official YouTube channel I did think this was a brand new game given it says ‘official’. A bit deceiving.

It having official in the title has nothing to do with whether it’s a Valve game or a mod, though. It just means that it’s a trailer released by the developer themselves and not some random person, that’s all that official means.

The meaning is contextual.
Exactly: and it says “official trailer” — separated from the rest by a fancy hyphen just like what I have used. The context is quite clear that it’s the trailer that’s official, and thus the meaning is quite clear as well.
“official trailer” for the mod - I don’t see the problem here.
They probably could’ve just made a more honest title like “Portal: Revolution - Official Trailer for the fan mod”. The title is longer and more unwieldy, but at least it’d be very clear
Your point is worthless. Not everyone needs context hand fed at all moments, and your misunderstanding of the title is anecdotal and unique to very few people.
Edit: changed wording because it wasnt one single person making the argument
I wouldn’t say worthless, that’s hyperbolic, but it is far beyond necessary, just saying that it could’ve been clearer, definitively.
It makes me not want to play the mod for their manipulative use of the word in their advertising.
You think they’re trying to trick you into

playing a free mod?
I changed it, thanks

The fact that this thread has more up votes on the “remove the official from official trailer” posts baffles me. The first line of the description says it’s a mod.
This is all you failing to understand something very simple.
It’s the official trailer for the mod, that’s all it means.
It also uses the name “Portal” in a way that feels official, too. If it said “Revolution: A Portal mod” it’d be fine.
How does it “feel official”? It’s just what a lot of mods do:
- Portal: Prelude
- Portal: The Flash Version (though this one is a standalone game)
- Half-Life: Echoes
- Half-Life: Caged
These are just a few I can think of, you can find more on Steam and ModDB.
I was surprised to see another Portal game being announced, but finding out it’s a fan-made mod actually has me more interested.
Fan-mods are where you can see some neat shit because they’re not trying to maximize profits, they’re just trying to make something cool.
This is not made by (or in association with) valve.
It’s effectively a mod built on portal2
I’m always amazed of what passionate people can achieve. It happens that i also love this game. Nice !
I really miss the times when mods actually were encouraged by the gamedevs. Yes there are games that still encourage modding but it’s still not as widespread as it was so a couple of years after Half-life was released.
Actually just started another playthrough of Portal still alive! I just hope the cake is real this time.
mmmmmmmmm cake

from the video description;
“Portal: Revolution is a free to play mod for Portal 2. This fully featured original campaign plays before Portal 2 in the dead and decaying Enrichment Center.”
Planned release date: Jan 5, 2024 :/
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in
