I think they like the contrast between how comedic the games are and how seriously opera is treated. I think by putting opera in the games, they sort of bring out the more genuinely emotional side of the Portal series.
@GoTi4No VR had HL:A, steam deck should hopefully have something new itself. i really hope thats the case. But a portal 3 is really unneeded, as portals ending was already good enough, but something set in the 60's-70's would be awesome.
A serious comment, this genuinely made me tear up a little bit. Cave was singing to himself for who knows how long, just to wash off his boredom and misery, when suddenly some toile-turrets kick in, trying to copy him. And then he starts harmonizing with them, and the other toile-turrets break into song. It's bittersweet to me, honestly. Cave finally has the company he's wanted for 4 years, spending his however-long last moments singing with toile-turrets. A not serious comment, _E_
@@amogusamogus8490 Considering that these toile-turrets are most likely the predecessors to the turrets we know, I wouldn't be surprised if the modern Aperture employees found a not-broken one and used that as the base for the modern Sentry Turret.

A lonely man, abandoned by all, sits immobile at the bottom of a sunless pit for all of eternity. All he can do is sing to the… Sentient robot toilet turrets. The duality of Portal.

You know what's funny? Something like this was going to happen in portal 2, but instead of a moai wannabe, cave was gonna be placed in a companion cubed plugged in the wall... This was scrapped due to not fitting in with the rest of old aperture... Glad they brought back that story line
I honestly think this is way cooler too, just the thought of his consciousness in a giant robot head of himself covered in clay to look like a greek statue just fits Cave so well. It also leaves the door open to events for Portal 3, whereas we really had no reason for a 3rd game before.
To me this is probably the best send off to the Portal series, a nice little story that tied up all the loose ends and introduced some fun new things along the way.
Is that title the official title for the song? If so then that's awesome. I love Portal and it's lore... that name has so much weight, especially since it's in reference to a man who did all he ever could in order to live forever and survive his illness A "requiem for immortals"; a solemn song meant for/associated with the dead and, while his physical body may be dead, Cave Johnson's consciousness is left behind in a metal head who knows how many ft below his very own research facility... or for how long he'd even been stuck... OR IF HE'S EVEN STILL THERE. Or I'm just looking way too far into the whole thing, and it's just haha silly🗿 Regardless, it's awesome tribute to Portal's lore/shared universe
Nah, he's definitely still down there. Although I'm wondering if the Mantis's power device transferred his consciousness into the turrlets. Since Chell is theorized to be Cave and Caroline's daughter, it'd explain why said turrets start singing to Chell at the end of Portal 2, calling her "my baby" and the like.
Words cannot explain the feeling i experimented when i finished this masterpiece for the first time. This is the first VALVe game i finished in its launch day and i just could'nt hold the tears
Long ago underground There stood a kingdom of alabaster and metal and ruling above all was a King in his enchanted castle . How did he become a king you may ask? Well in the beginning he was only a merchant wanting more in life and so with burning ambition he used his wealth to employ a gaggle of wizards and together discovered a great many spells. With the knowledge and wealth at his disposal he set forth to create a kingdom that would stand the test of time immortal. Then he stumbled upon a cavern so grand that mad all land seen before seem pitiful in comparison And so with his most trusted adviser and his newly formed court of wizards and scholars and for a time all was grand. So the now king set forth then started to build his kingdom and deciding it shall be built with only the finest of materials. He believed the only Alabaster on impenetrable steel to be a worthy of reflecting his greatness and thus construction of this great kingdom had finally begun. As this kingdom was built He and his court of wizards continued to create new spells and magic great and terrible a like until he was able to control his very kind with but a command. All was well for a time until he acquired a Piece of the night sky, For you see the night sky did not appreciate a piece of itself being taken away and hidden underground and so decided curse the King of alabaster and steel a shortened and painful life. Now facing his mortality the King Fueled by fear driven ambition sent his court of wizards with a seemingly impossible task of acquiring *IMMORTALITY* for himself and was even willing to sacrifice his most trusted assistant to further this goal. Finally his court of wizards had came to a solution and with even thinking of the consequences as he had never before had then asked the wizards to cast their spell upon his being. And so he was turned to an indestructible stone statue and thus becoming immortal. Upon realizing on what he had become, A statue unable to move or feel but still able to speak,listen and see and so in a fit of rage commanded the very castle itself to slay his court of wizards and to sent any away from his kingdom to never return. When his raged passed he realized that now and forever he would immortal alone. And so he sung to fill the silence of his kingdom of alabaster and steel with no one but the stones of his castle to here his song of sorrow for ages to come. That is until one day a single stone began to sing with the immortal king. Surprised and not believing his ears sung back to the stone and amazingly the stone sung back and then to the Kings delight more of the castles stones began to sing in harmony with their King, turning a song of sorrow to a song of timeless togetherness. It is said that if you visit the mouth of the cavern and listen closely you can hear a song of alabaster and steel forever sung by a kingdom long forgotten. A song of *Requiem Ad Immortali* .
I like how if you compare this to Cara Mia Addio (which was a goodbye song for Chell and essentially the player who was leaving aperture) this song is more like a "welcome back" to the person playing the game. A welcome back to aperture. A welcome back to the portal franchise
From playing countless of the portal games to hearing about this great man that wanted to do countless experiements, to do what he wants because he could, to be done in on his own by both his goal with the moon rocks he needed to his wish to continue after death. And with his scientist to do whatever they could with the time they had were able to preserve him. In a shell of himself in both rock and metal. And with a good representation of him crushing thoae around him with the mantises that had built their own brillant city underneath. Truly a weight beyound comprenssion to even take the source of power they held as his own. Then to finally brought down by those that wished finally give him his end. Was met to a now lowly experience of hoping the endless source of power would give out. But not to be to left alone was the creations set out to help his end. I know this being being a lot even for a tutorial game for the deck but honestly it was great to finally meet him even for a moment. Great job Valve
Pretty sure this is Just J.K Simmons doing Vocal Exercise before doing the actual lines. Valve just edited it to be this masterpiece. Edit: nevermind...
@@residentdimwit JK Simmons is a trained baritone singer, so not really a surprise. What is though is that he reprised the role of Cave Johnson in the release of this tech demo…
Not going to lie, but first experiencing this scene it was like a "What the hell?" kinda creepy feeling. Then it was like me just enjoying it. Love the game.
I love the bittersweet irony in the title of the song. I believe the song translates to something along the lines of “Requiem for an Immortal”. Requiem means a lot of things, but one that’s interesting is that it’s a song or chant meant to honor the dead, in which an immortal is obviously… you know. I also see how this connects to the state of Cave Johnson, who sits on a “throne” as an immortal in the end. That is all, have a good day.
This really gives me the chills when I watched the ending and then this starts. It is also truly haunting and disturbing to see Cave Johnson "singing" while knowing he's already dead. That voice is gonna give me nightmares but I love it.
I don't know what it is about valves music for portal but it always gives me a sense of never wanting it to end its so soothing and real at the same time I can't describe it
It's a weird feeling to see a living, immoble corpse powered by a renewable energy source invented by a race of sentient praying mantis while singing a requiem "to immortals" because nobody knows that you're still alive. Nobody's looking for you because all your employees think you're dead. And now you're cursed to sing for all of eternity in the basement which might as well be hell considering that Cave Johnson fell all the way down there. Awesome metaphors I love it.
They went for a Gregorian Chant that he sings as his (un) - dying pastime. Come on valve you have sparks of brilliance, why can't you just make another game that isn't a product demo. Alyx nearly wiped the floor with everybody. This is a 30 minute experience that has more care and depth put into it than many 60 USD titles.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The Suffuring Of Cave Johnson.
To be conscious at the bottom of a pit with your creations for an indeterminate amount of time, far extended past any humans, while exceedingly cruel - is not entirely unbefitting Cave Johnson, a man who sent hundreds upon thousands of people to their gruesome demises.
honestly i would like to see a portal 3 with this version of cave johnson, and fighting against the founder of aperture itself makes sense for a final portal game you and grady getting through all of aperture with cave johnson coming back to power along with others who were at aperture during its golden years
For me what I gathered is that the Praying Mantises power source was a device that connected several of their electronics to give them some kind of singularity. When the Head was stuck beneath the facility with all the turrets, the power source connected the head to the turrets, making them reach consciousness, making all turrets we know a copy of Cave Jonhson's consciousness, don't know if that makes sense

@@TerminatorTheory wtf are you talking about
@@solarsyrup a war, threatening world war 3 as well lol
Imagining to yourself to pass the time and some toilet yells at you out of nowhere and then you both sing songs together afterwards
When Valve Hits That Opera Shit You Know Whats Good
🗿
Turn on captions, you will NOT regret it 😭
music to my ears
Legends say you could still hear him down deep underground
please recommend me more music that sounds like this
Altar - Former
@@dylan1867 i liked it but that is not similar
Gregorian chants can be similar but there isn't a lot of counterpoints like in this track.
It was one of endsless earths.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The Suffuring Of Cave Johnson.
the captions really help, thanks
To be conscious at the bottom of a pit with your creations for an indeterminate amount of time, far extended past any humans, while exceedingly cruel - is not entirely unbefitting Cave Johnson, a man who sent hundreds upon thousands of people to their gruesome demises.
Leave it to Valve to make a short hilarious little game, and give it an incredibly beautiful and depressing choir.
Why am I tearing up?
If TF2 ever has some form of an ending theme, it needs to just be a bunch of sentry's humming or shooting in some rhythmic order.
So is Cave canonically also an opera singer?
Yes.
Maybe he practiced with Caroline Johnson? I know her voice actress does opera. 🤔
Nah, just a man trapped in a endless prison pouring his immortal heart out.
honestly i would like to see a portal 3 with this version of cave johnson, and fighting against the founder of aperture itself makes sense for a final portal game
you and grady getting through all of aperture with cave johnson coming back to power along with others who were at aperture during its golden years
Love this! Mike Morasky is a genius.
The start of this song is bone chilling!
nearly tears up😢😢
I can just feel the pure DENSITY in his voice.
The caőtions on this are the best thing I've seen in my entire life
The subtitles are pure gold!
Help the subtitles got me died 😭😭😭😭
thank you for the lyrics in the closed captions
For me what I gathered is that the Praying Mantises power source was a device that connected several of their electronics to give them some kind of singularity. When the Head was stuck beneath the facility with all the turrets, the power source connected the head to the turrets, making them reach consciousness, making all turrets we know a copy of Cave Jonhson's consciousness, don't know if that makes sense
Everybody gangster till the toilets start singing
Caves opera voice gives me chills its so menacing
captions are gold
Wonderful captions.
'Rest for the Immortal'
gotta love the subtitles on this video
Am I the only one that sees this as a hint that after the years between desk job and 2 cave Johnson became the animal king
A wonderful harmonic masterpiece, for a 20-30 minute tutorial game for a handheld console.
Never played portal, no idea bout the story line, love this scene
