I certainly hope so. I like Gordon, but he was never really the kind of hero to make a girl want to fan herself. Or do other things to herself. **ahem**
Chell... could be just what the proverbial doctor ordered. ^^
Go to thinkwithportals.com and check out the "Boots" video to get a better look at her. Along with the new look, I gotta say, the portal jumper looks very graceful in these videos. I'm liking this.
I think it was just the slight graphical limitations that made her look rather plain in Portal 1, theres a similar thread on Ashley's appearance in ME3 looks like they figured brushing up their appearance would increase interest. Well I suppose it has got people talking.

Ok kinda random but I think Portal 1 Chell in the picture has a striking resemblence to Robert Trujillo the bassist from Metallica
Well obviously the look is noticeably different; one's concept art from now, and the other's her rendered in-game on a 4-year-old version of the engine.
"So, whaddya think, is Chell going to be one of the new gals people end up linking in threads about 'hottest vidya game character' and what not?"
Surely by creating this thread, you've practically done that already?
Her face is just smoother, she's wearing shoes, and she took her jacket off. Well, I do guess trying to survive an insane A.I. program gets a little hectic. Hectic : Sweaty. And running through sludge barefoot in the original - calls for some shoes.
Basically, it's just her taking the jacket off. Not really a big change.lol
I'm definitely digging the new look.
Glad to see Valve have very much kept their knack for making sexy female character that are realistically proportioned and without any silly pandering.
I wasn't a fan of Chell's Portal 1 look. Always found it a bit weird, and face was somewhat... Uncanny valleyesque... I thereby consider her new look a marked improvement.
The look has been noticeably altered. The long Fall boot, as advertised in the most recent investment opportunity advert, also looks a fair bit like a springy high heel. The comics even have her cheeks and face looking rosier.

but keep in mind, in the first Portal, Chell was awoken from a pod, kind of meaning that she's been there for a long while, therefore looking like shit
while in the second one, she's been out in the real world, she must have come across a shower or a mirror at some point, right? =P
I understand why they changed her look, after hearing a lot of people's feedback, but I was totally in love with that design. It's so clinical and sterile, and really stood out in terms of form over function, which is so rare with female game characters.
