E3 2010: Portal 2 Teaser Has Jungle Fever

[Subject Name Here] is giggling with excitement. I want my grief counseling that was promised me. Oh, and some cake, too.

I'm puzzled. Is GLADos really a disc operating system? Surely Aperture Science would have something far better than a disc.

I mean, I know it says that what it stands for, but a disc?

She's a Glad Operating System. Glad to be operating, Glad to be her own system, and Glad to have the opportunity to kill you again.
She doesn't get mad.
And I think she was talking to you...you monster! Incinerating your companion cube!

 

[Metal Brother]

That was a triumph. How Valve got both the best game designers and the best marketing team in the industry is just beyond me.

GLaDOS
Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System.

Most of valve's humor is either academic, physics, math or computer related so it's not really surprising

You should all read the history of Aperture Science if you haven't!

Will it be coming out for 360 as well?

It'll be on 360, they were just announcing that the PS3 version will be made to a higher quality for whatever reason.

Probably because they're publishing it with Steam being added to PSN somehow, or they have some decent PS3 guys on the team now.

Or they're big trolls trying to start a flame war.
Which, knowing Valve, is definitely a possibility.

Either way, PC for me, and I can't wait!

I hope, hope, hope Valve actually get round to putting this game out. Granted, the first delay might just be a delay, but it might also be the first of many delays.

Who can say, really?

I just want this game to come out. It's damn near the only thing I'm truly excited about. Every other game I see is something that I've seen before. Hell, even the Kinect and Move stuff is basically just copying what I've played on the Wii.

Portal has a completely unique gameplay style that I just loved playing the first time round. Some new puzzles, some more of that story and delicious humour, some co-op thrown in... I am salivating on my keyboard.

[EDIT]
Also, to add a bit more discussion, I've heard people say that this was Valve's big surprise at E3. As in;

"Portal is gonna be on Ps3, surprise!"

D'you think that's true or will be there some kind of crazy reveal later on at E3?

can i has it now??


PLLEEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!!

I can not has it now either. I sad...

Also, I want some CAKE!!!

I'm sceptical about the fact that it is also going to be released on PS3. This might be the first Valve-screwup in history. Hopefully it will be awesome, but I'll be extremely impressed if they can surpass the original, especially when catering to the console-crowd as well.

Why would releasing the game on Ps3 give you cause for concern?

 

[chaos order]

well it also seems appropriate here

 

[Stephanie Starcraft]

This is glorious. I can't wait. I wonder what the premise will be this time. Post apocalyptic world maybe?

Wasn't GLaDOS talking about how the combine and such when she said you don't want to go out there now?

I'm-not-a-fanboy-itis?

 

[Jezzascmezza]

More Portal= AWESOME

 

[8bitmaster]

aww... someone beat me to the still alive reference. After all, this was a triumph. I am making a note here, huge success. WHY CAN'T IT STILL COME OUT THIS YEAR?!?!?!?! VALVE STOP TORTURING US!!!

 

[mr Awsome]

IVE BEEN IMPATIENTLY AWAITING THIS GAME EVER SINCE I FINISHED THE FIRST ONE!!!!
i want it sooooooooo baddddddddd XD

 

[Stephanie Starcraft]

sounds right about the combine. And the overgrown stuff suggests that the lab has been at least partially destroyed. Hmm.

 

[LeeshaJoy]

Anyone else get an overpowering urge to play through Portal again, just to see if anything's changed? (There was another automatic update today...)

 

[tthor]

this is awesomeness. I love the dystopian feel of it all. is it still coming to PC?

 

[RebelRising]

For Science...you monster.

That line almost killed me.
