Poll: Do you want a Portal 3? (Possible Spoilers!)
- Thread starter Sharalon

I've thought about this, and I would trust Valve to make an excellent sequel as they did with Portal 2 but the ending doesn't really need a sequel. Would I be happy to hear they're making one? Sure. Would I care if they weren't making one and never will? Nope. I'd be fine either way.
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1851734 ehhh look at that maybe everything isin't as it seems afterall???? This would have been an awesome twist for portal 3.http://thegamingliberty.com/index.php/2011/04/22/portal-2-was-originally-a-prequel-without-portals/ this is also an awesome possibility i think maybe the portals can be out of the picture becouse as you know aperture also tested many other things.
Would love another portal game but not for a long time, I mean like episode 3 long time to keep us hungry for portal fun. Not sure how the story would work as Portal 2's ending was pretty conclusive, but then I though that about the first Portal's ending.
I think something to do with the Ratman Guy. Like someone mentioned before me, it could explain how he survived or what he did around the facility. Or maybe a backstory to Chell, like why she joined or what happened in the early days of testing. Unless they do make a sequel. In which case they can do what ever they want.
No to a sequel, but I wouldnt mind if chell or the cube got an appearance in half life 3, and no to a prequel, unless it was about all the things appature science tried before the portal gun, maybe starring ratman and cave johnson, and a gladOS origin.
I'm thinking they might integrate the portal mechanics into the next half-life installment. Not sure where I heard it - think it was in the dev commentary on portal 1 - but I heard portal was a test game for the mechanic. And if portal 2 completes the test, then they'll have perfected it for use in other games. Plus they can use that to justify how long it's taking for episode 3 to come out.
on thing that is for sure is that they will make another portal at all.Look up the critics and how much they have sold holy crap.Dev's goes after the money guys.As long as people want more Portal they will give it to us that's for sure.
I don't care what they do next. I'll eat it up. After Portal 2, it has become momumentally clear that I'm a huge Valve fanboy; such rampant fanboyism not seen since the N64 days.
If they released a game about floor cleaner I'd buy it.

I can't understand why u guys dont want more portal.I may understand those who have been waiting for episode 3 for a looong time but not thoose who love portal.I dnt care about the endings.Anyway about the ending read my post further up and u will see that not everything may be as it seems.Aperture was working on some bioscience or something and u clearly see that they built something like a barn.And where barns are there are wheat which is the way Portal 2 ended.So fake freedom in other words.
I sort of feel like the co-op is our Portal 3, for the following spoiler-ific reasons.
In the song at the end, GLaDOS says she doesn't need Chell anymore. And it's true: she's got those two bots for testing, now. I was guessing that the co-op initiative was essentially GLaDOS' happy ending--she can test forever and ever (and so can we), without ever having to deal with those intolerable and unpredictable humans. So unless they somehow insert another human into the mix, or take Chell's happy ending away and drag her back to the facility there's not much conflict there.
And the conflict between Chell and GLaDOS is also resolved, which was arguably the most important conflict of all in the game. Sure, GLaDOS doesn't like Chell, but she doesn't want her dead anymore, either. And without conflict, you don't have a story.
So if they want to get more story out of GLaDOS, they're going to have to start clean over. No Chell, no Wheatley, none of that. They'd need a whole new conflict with new characters and new problems, and somehow make it as heated and entertaining as the one between Chell and GLaDOS without treading old ground. Personally, I was satisfied with the ending, and I wouldn't mind if it stopped there.
But, this is Valve we're talking about, and they are essentially the Pixar of video games. They know GLaDOS better than any of us, so if there's any more story they want to share, I'm sure they'll find some way to get it to us. And if it takes a Portal 3 to do that, I'm open to it.
