Portal 2 Delayed to 2011

[edthehyena]

You know, it would make sense to delay Portal 2 for a new Source engine, and IF Portal 2 were using a new Source engine, then a booth showing off "something Portal-related" that isn't Portal 2 could be a new Source engine.

My oh my, what is this? A Valve game has been delayed from its intended release? The sky must be blood-red, the seas must be boiling, for the apocalypse is surely upon us! What's next? Will Blizzard fail to lock down a release date for Diablo III? Will Nintendo announce a new title featuring Mario? Will Hideo Kojima's next game be a confusing, philosophical mess?! This is a strange and bizarre new world we find ourselves in!

Erm, I got a bit distracted there. Sorry about that.

... I love you.

OT: Well, no reeeeal surprises here. Valve doesn't seem to be too great at reeling out games particularly quickly [9 years for TF2, anyone?].

 

[Eruanno]

Is that... an actual press release? If so, that is AWESOME.

 

[Gplars]

great i was geating excited but oh well im going to buy it any way also there better give away t shirts or some thing with this installment

 

[The Ambrosian]

Sarcasm FTW.
Ahw, no suprise really but still

 

[GamingAwesome1]

Well, shoot. I want Portal 2 but I know Valve. They will delay a game until they think it's good enough. Patience is a virtue when you're a Valve fan but the payoff is oh so sweet.

 

[Mr. Squee]

Valve are you just trying to make your fans hate you at this point?

 

[Turbo-razor 421]

Maybe its portal on Source 2.0.

 

[micky]

noooooo! we were so close to having no delays.... why do i get my hopes up?

 

[ben---neb]

But...but...Half Life 3...I want to cry now. DAMN YOU VALVE!

Grass grows, birds fly and valve delays games release dates. what will be next in the series of extremely un-shocking in any way revelations? will activision release another call of duty game after black ops? or will ea keep releasing sport games? prepare to be totally unsurprised! but seriously this is dissapointing as i was really looking forward to this, not that i am surprised XD

No surprises there. They may make good games, but they sure take their time about it.

in the words of shigeru miyamoto: A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever

 

[Elemental]

Okay, we'll probably play HL3/EP3 after the apocalypse.
I'm really fucking bummed about it now.

 

[sunburst]

I honestly would rather see a game delayed then see it released full of bugs and glitches... Oh, and I'm still betting their "surprise" to replace this at E3 is still going to be L4D3... >_>

They just said the surprise is Portal related...In big bold letters too.

Portal themed L4D3 map?

Armed with a Portal Gun and a cricket bat, you have to solve physics puzzles while fighting off waves of zombies. Use a Weighted Storage Cube to deflect energy balls at Tanks! Position Turrets to defend entry points! Once you solve the puzzle, will the Survivors be Still Alive?

"Also, the game will be even better," they added, missing an historic opportunity to create the first product delay press release to mention that a product is being delayed to make it worse.

Fucking lol. These guys know how to talk to the public XD

And also LOL at everyone (myself partially included) wasting time hypothesising about what on earth Valve is getting up to - let's leave them to it and stop fussing XD

 

[DrScoobs]

i think that valve are trying to get known for more than half life now. they are now focusing on their new IPs which is good. i would prefer them to wrap up the episodes but they can do no wrong in my book

Newmaaaaaaa- er, I mean, Newaaaaaaaaall!!!

 

[Alar]

Awesome, I'm not surprised either. I also really like how they do their press releases. More companies should do this!
