**Official Portal 2 thread**

I think Blizzard and Valve are battling it out for the world record for how long it takes to make games

It's like a staring contest, one which 3d Realms lost.

Great I can't wait!

I wonder what the setting will be, maybe it will link to episode 3 by giving the aperture gun to Gordon at the end?

sorry but i relay don't hope we are going to get endless L4D and portal squeals from valve now as its starting to look like that, I like them both as much as the next person but with nothing on EP3 we may never see what happens our fav Geek hero at this rate.

Tbh let them take time with Half life, makes us enjoy it more when they come.

I think they;re done with l4d squeals now.

iirc they bought in l4d1 so the game was basically someone else's then once it was a success they made it their own in l4d2.

By "upcoming holiday season", they'd better mean Easter, not Christmas.

Yeah I hope they mean easter too. Calling christmas an upcoming holiday season dosen't seem quite right!

This video sums up the whole of the Portal 2 announcements.

Hope it's part of a bundle tbh. Portal 1 took me about 3 hours to finish, all told. If Portal 2 is just as short, and priced at 19.99, I'll wait for the Orange Box 2

Apparently they're saying it's significantly longer than Portal 1 and I've seen prices of about $50-$60 already being bandied about for it.

By "upcoming holiday season", they'd better mean real time not Valve time.

Fixed

Pass, then. No way should it be that expensive.

Im guessing summer more than easter

No point in making a decision like that yet, it's far too early. Most likely that'll be the ballpark rrp but places like play and amazon will obviously have it cheaper.

 

[scrlk]

Don't worry about the price too much, I expect there will be Steam deals on Portal 2 just before release/couple of weeks after like L4D2.

according to the last page of those scans it's "due out this fall".


So by holiday season i guess they mean thanks givingy time.
