who cares if portal 2 is a prequel. there's hardly even a story in portal. your just some ***** going through a maze for some cake and then a robot goes insane.

i kind of thought that portal was set in the half-life world and that in episode 3 they would bring may into the game or at least have a cameo. because didn't they find a crashed boat in half-life that said aperture science on it? and in the portal song it mentions black mesa. maybe these things are just for their own sake but i wouldnt doubt that characters from half-life would appear in a portal sequel or visa versa
Portal is set in the Half-Life universe, though we're never really told when or where. As for Episode 3, the boat is the Borealis. From what Eli and Issac were discussing, it sounds as though it was a research vessel owned by Aperture. They said the scientists on board were experimenting with teleporter technology and that the boat had disappeared years ago. This is where you and Alyx are planning to go at the end of Ep. 3.

I'm making a note here: huge disappointment.

Valve is going to have a tough time meeting everyone's massive expectations for this se/prequel.
Maybe. Who knows. For me, personally, they've yet to disappoint, so I think they could pull it off. Who knows though, there's always a first time for everything.

Only people I've ever known that say Portal had no plot are ones that either never played it or are too thick to pay attention to all of the clues around them. Based on your choice of words and your overall synopsis of the game, I'm not really sure where you fit.

I hope that it is a sequel, you could use the portal gun in the real world. Also it would be interesting to see what GLaDOS does since she is obviously still alive. A big improvement would be a cross into the half-life universe, since Aperture and Black Mesa are competing companies. Imagine the power of the gravity gun in one hand and the portal device in the other.

I thought that they were making Portal: Still Alive, which is supposed to be on the DS. Is this the same game or are they making a sort of console adaptation as well?

It would be awesome if the setting is after Half Life 2 and she is treated as an anomaly and is ignored until she saves Gordon's ass. No real guns though. Her only weapon should be the portal gun always.

No, she was using nerve gas. She apparently went crazy for no reason.

who really cares about the story in portal? it's about genius puzzles, not some hidden story that you don't notice until some pretentious assholes online tell you about it.

To be honest, the hidden story is what makes portal for me :p i loved how everything GlaDOS said eventually turned into a plot.

On topic: I think Portal 2, sequel or prequel, isnt going to match Portal's excellency. But hell, im sure it will still be awesome.

Interestingly enough, a sub-species closely related to Retardicus Stupidus, known as Forumidae Trollicus, seem to frequent this area. We may have one in our midst. Just make sure not to feed it or provoke it, lest we cause it to unleash a flurry of expletives and incoherent babble.

Aperture Laboratories installed a morality core in GLaDOS because she was flooding the room with a deadly neurotoxin to prevent her from flooding the rooms with a deadly neurotoxin.
and that settles that now, folks.

Portal was good enough. You know what they do to sequels like that? They mop the floor with 'em where I come from.
In Soviet Russia, sequel mops floor with YOU!
In State of California, Town of San Diego, NO U!
Lol. You live in San Diego, too? Cool!

Anyways... What about Portal 2 being set on the Borealis before it disappeared?

For this to work, I need to know: is Portal set before or after the 7-hour war?
