Portal 2

[Psyche]

Yesterday, Portal updated with the update: "Changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum management regulations"

I thought it was just valve being funny, ntil I noticed a strange new achievement, called 'Transmission Received' with the description '..?' Apparently, there are radios added to every level now, and when you take them to certain parts of the level they emmit strange high pitched noises, If you put the sounds through a SSTV translator (something that converts sounds into images) you get strange grainy Aperture Science video feeds, the sound files are labeled as dinosaur_01, Dinosaur_02, etc. Its really mind boggling, also GDC (Game Developers Confrence is in about a week, and valve has an open booth there, maybe an announcement for Portal 2? They did say there would be no Half Life this year but that doesn't count out a new portal. There is ALOT more information at facepunch and the Steam forum if you wanna check it out.

tl;dr version: Portal updated with some wired shit on March 1st, that has alot of people talking.

ALOT more info here: http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=903557

And here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1170872

So what do you guys think, they could still announce EP3 for next year, but its most likely portal. Discuss.

UPDATE: They just changed the ending to Portal yesterday, now with more cliffhanger!

most probably there will be a Portal 2

[Sander Cohen]

I'm excited to see where this goes. Hopefully a new Orange Box?

[Prozak]

Ya i hope there will be a new Portal game out soon.

[ScubaToaster]

I second that Prozak, the first game was highly addicting..

[Gumpy]

I've given up on seeing a new half life in my generation.

[FaTaL FaZio]

That would be sick, orange box 2. is there any word on Team Fortress 3?

[Jaffa]

They'll do Ep3 at the same time as Portal 2, or slightly after, as last i heard Ep 3 is going to have the portal gun in it

[HankTheTank]

That's actually highly interesting. Thanks for this, Psyche.


Also, Ep3 better be here sooooooooon. :(

[ReGIONALS]

ya cause the crates at the end of portal and te crates you see in hl2 are apparntly similar
and the borielis the ship you find the tape from in hl2ep2 is from aperture science and the ship got lost when they were testing a portal gun or something.it all makes sense to me now

I think orange box 2 includes portal 2 and ep3, then they work on hl3.

[Psyche]

Well it seems Portal 2 has just been announced, guess no EP3, for now.

[Riperzz]

Portal 2 Announced (http://store.steampowered.com/news/3559/)

[b0red]

Fuck portal 2. That game isn't even that great, it was different and odd. But GOD DAMN I want fucking counter strike 2.

[Psyche]

That game isn't even that great

automatic invalid argument detected.

This forum is full of them.

But either way, Valve likes to detract from what us gamers have been waiting for FOREVER! Episode 3! I mean, I don't hate Portal, but I don't think I'll buy it.

[Nasu]

I want it nau!1

[A WW1 Flying Ace]

oh god oh god new portal cant wait fuuuuuuuuuuuck

[Furry Turtle :3]

i dont think valve have realised what episodic games implies isnt it supposed to be
1: shorter games
2:frequent releases.

They have got 1 but i think there still struggling with 2

Meh but i guess we don't want bad quality games.

[Neji]

I hope portal 2 is going to be much longer then the first one :(, I beat the first one in 2 hours.


Edit: They should make a source version of HL1.

Yes! Thank god <3, Half life 1 was the shit :D

[Octa]

From what ive heard, portal 2 is going to be longer with a possablity of multiplayer. It also takes place hundreds of years AFTER the first one. Interesting....

[Kiwi]

Game was alright, but I got bored and decided to noclip around the map.

[Nishok]

Can't wait for it to come out.
