Monolithic0117 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 On March 5, in their press release, Valve officially announced Portal 2. It will be released this holiday season, and will be released simultaneously on Mac as well as PC, and presumably, consoles. Last week, an update was issued to Portal, which added an extended ending, cryptic radio transmissions, and a key to Valve's BBS system, which streamed even more mystifying ASCII art and text files. This seems to be a prelude to some spectacular Portal 2 marketing. http://kotaku.com/5484157/valves-portal-pu...perture-sciencehttp://kotaku.com/5486657/an-insiders-guide-to-portal-2Valve's news pagehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfDeadguy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I'm excited, but not half as excited as I'd be if they would kindly go ahead and start posting updates about HL2 Episode 3. Of course, maybe they intend to release both at the same time and pull another Orange Box type deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retribution Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I don't care about Portal 2 that much, I want HL2 Episode 3 or HL3 or whatever it's going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfDeadguy Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hopefully, Portal 2 will tighten up some of the connections made between Portal and Half-Life. Truth be told, I'm more interested in the story aspect than I am in the gameplay- it'll be a blast, I'm sure (the first one was too), but I'd like to know more about where Aperture fits into the larger puzzle. I don't see Valve giving up that information without a double-release, at least not after certain revelations towards the end of Episode 2. I really wouldn't be surprised if they did pull another multiple release. It's just that, since they haven't posted much about EP3 yet (besides "we're working on it" and some concept art), all we poor gamers can do is wait and cross our fingers. We know it's coming; they won't abandon the franchise that made them famous. My money's on a "Insert Color Here Box" just like last time around. I'd hope, however, that the weapon progression this time involves a bit more kaboom a bit quicker. It's starting to feel silly having to go and re-gather the entire arsenal every time Gordon trips and knocks his head on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Meh not buying it, because its not coming to ps3 :( . ---------------------------------------- news article states Despite the original Portal appearing on Sony's home video game console, Valve's Doug Lombardi has said that the same won't hold true with the sequel. According to Eurogamer, Lombardi has confirmed that the recently-announced Portal 2 will be heading for Xbox 360 and PC only. No reason given but hopefully we'll find out why in the next Game Informer issue, which carries a feature on the game. Portal's PS3 version was released as part of the Orange Box. Development of this version wasn't handled by Valve but was instead outsourced to EA. ----------------------------------------- "Out sourced", or don't have the funds, or just to lazy to learn the ps3. Can't stand steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halororor Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Meh not buying it, because its not coming to ps3 :( . If I remember correctly, Valve said it's on their agenda, just not anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monolithic0117 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 does it require steem to install Most likely. Valve always utilizes their Steam platform for their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
