Seeing as the end of the first one nearly came out and said "There's going to be a sequel" anything less would be kind of disappointing.
Does Portal even need a sequel?

In terms of Portal simply being a fantastic stand-alone experience that needs no sequel to complete it? Kind of. It absolutely is, except for the whole "still alive" thing. It was obvious, even before the updated ending, that GlaDOS was not dead, and more story potential was there. Not to mention the potential for further ties with the Half-Life story.
In strict gameplay terms: absolutely. Portal was an incredible game with some incredible ideas, but that's not to say there isn't more that can be done with the concepts. There is still a lot more room to explore, and I'd rather the makers of Portal do it than some random developer hoping to get a quick buck off a cheap rip-off of the first game.
So overall, yes. And regardless, IT WILL BE AWESOME.

You run Valve from behind the scenes? Half Life 3!!! Redlin5 wants!!!Sleekgiant said:I want more Portal puzzles, what Sleek wants, Sleek gets dammit >
OT: I see absolutely no reason why Valve shouldn't make a sequel. It was obvious that Portal was just a bonus game they put in with their Orange Box. Maybe they didn't expect it to become the thing it is today (awards and all that).
It makes good business sense to make a longer, more in depth Portal game!
No, but if it improves on the previous game and makes a new, or at least MUCH BETTER experience out of it, I don't see why they can't make one.
Complicated question.
Many believe Portal was a classic, as it had its own merits. I personally thought it sucked; but thats because it gave me a migrain every time I played it.
Making a sequel doesnt diminish the first, and people want it. Why not?

You've seen how Valve improves vastly with their sequels. Even if it's not NECESSARY, it'll still be great.
My thoughts. When i first heard it I thought the same as OP for a few seconds. Hmmm, will they do it well enough to be a worthy sequel. Then I remembered. This is fucking Valve! Now after seeing the gameplay videos.. Well, it looks damn amazing. Definitely looking forward to Portal 2.
I realise this doesn't quite answer your question. Yes. Yes it does. If it's going to be even half as awesome as Portal, the sequel will be great. And it looks like it will somehow be better than Portal.

If Valve wanted to give more portal but not give another game they could have just added more content. With the way they ended portal they needed to make a second. I always welcomed it as long as they don't screw it up. By the looks they still have what made portal great plus more.
Portal was a great game and doesn't need a sequel. That doesn't mean that a sequel won't be great.
Well almost no games actualy need a sequel, that is unless they end on some cliffhanger, but I still think Portal 2 will be great.
