YAY!

I loved the first game, in my opinion, the whole portal-opening, dimension-warping idea was so creative and well-designed. Too bad it was way too short. But now, after this awesome news, I'm happier, because I know, that I can play around more in nice puzzles.

Yeah, I heard of it, even played it a bit. I rather meant that this is the first real, professional attempt to make a game like this. ND was quite fun...but obviously Portal has better development on this space-warping idea.

Just as expected.

And really, who isn't surprised by this announcement?

EDIT: This is quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen in a long while...

Valve doesn't intend to elaborate on the Half-Life connection because of tonal differences between games. We are aware, however, that Portal 2 takes place well after the events of Half-Life 2. Perhaps Chell is safer inside.

Apparently it takes place hundreds of years after the first game.

And that "boycott" is awesome.

Seriously though, it's nice to see companies looking at amateur (Well, student) games and knowing a great idea when they see it.


Well, considering the guy got a job at Valve out of it I don't think he did too badly

(Not bad for a PhD project anyhow)

1) The whole team got jobs out of it.
2) Kim Swift is female.

Am I the only person who likes Portal the most out of all of Valve's series? I don't like HalfLife either.

I really like the Half Life franchise, but I love Portal to pieces.

A few of my buddies think P2 will be crap because it's 'more of the same', however I pointed out that if it were somehow retroactively a second act to the original (black out, wake up later in the same game) they wouldn't be complaining. They have antisequelitis.

This is great news! The shortness of Portal in combination with how fucking brilliant it was left something of a void inside of me, just waiting to be filled up with some more portal.
