3 years later, they might as well combine Portal 2 and HL2:E3 haha

I still haven't finished all the HL2 episodes anyway

Half Life health display.
I spotted that too.

I'll look forwards to it, but I won't put too much faith in it.
When have Valve made a bad game?
It's not that, It's just that portal wasn't the brilliant treasure trove of awesomeness that some people made it out to be. It was different and that's why I enjoyed it. I can't complain on how it'd be very similar to the first since it's really a puzzle game with a great storyline and a robot with multiple personalities and dark humor.

The console players can eat shit. They get so much special treatment for every other game out there (not to mention not having to deal with this DRM bullshit). It's good to see Valve keeps true to their roots and does something that makes it worthwhile to still be a PC gamer.
Show some respect, dude.

OT: I probably won't get the next Portal/Ep3 or w/e game on my computer (save that for work and socializing), but I'm still pretty interested in another Portal game (I remember showing it to my friends for the first time...)

Admittedly I never did finish the HL episodes, and I was working through Ep1 with my friend but then his computer crashed...sigh

They updated Episode Two too. Alyx, Barney, and Kleiner could be made out in the new Portal scrambled radio transmissions.
Woah, wait, really?

And what exactly was the Episode 2 update?

People focus on bad things and if Portal 2 turns out bad, then Portal will be known as the prequel to a bad game.

On the other hand, Portal 2 could be even more triumphant than Portal and knock everyone's socks off.
It is true. There is a lot of precedent for valve making bad games with bad sequels and bad expansions.

I'm lying out my ass currently.

At least I can't think of a valve game that didn't make me go "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh."
Well that was completely uncalled for.

Ever played Day of Defeat?

...I'm just saying I'm not sure where the series would go from the ending, there's a lot of space in the open world but it might take it a bit out of context.

We (we as in who I searched online) don't know. All I know was that the game updated, and now it's a few megabytes bigger.

Ah. Also, what transmissions had Kliner and all? (Or have they even been uploaded to YouTube yet...)

Don't be so rude, it's not like console gamers are a different species.

People making comments like that gives PC gamers a bad name.

Portal Has a New Ending

A second update to the three-year-old Portal has changed the ending to the game, throwing fuel on the fire of sequel rumors everywhere.


There was a second update to Valve's beloved Portal earlier today, after the update on Monday that spawned the feverish ARG [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/98776-Crazy-Valve-ARG-Teases-Portal-2-Update] that seemed to be hinting at a new Portal game - or something like that, anyway.

This update does very little other than changing the very end of the game. I'm not going to spoil it, but let's just say that it makes rumors about an unveiling of Portal 2 at next week's GDC seem significantly more likely.

I think i know it.

MASSIVE SPOILER DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED: PORTAL OR HALFLIFE 2 EPISODE 2


Anyway here we go. Basically the borealis is made by apature science after their research facility was "destroyed". This is the research facility. Your character is the character in halflife 2 episode 3. Portal was background on this new character. The half life health shows a tie in. Your character may play a key part in the apeture science made borealis. Im almost 100% certain this is correct.

Wrong.

The health thing was just from a cheat someone enabled to get this video up faster. You're still Chell, and it's a million to one chance that Valve would replace Gordon with her for Episode 3. And it's not a spoiler if everyone on the bloody forum already knows.

We've had plenty of theories similar to this go by already, read the first few pages.

You have to listen to the audio very carefully and maybe even edit the audio files with a mixing program to hear it clearly. And even then it's mostly inaudible, although I recognize the voices.

Good god that's creepy ._.

I checked out one that had been uploaded to YT, and I thought I could hear Alyx saying 'get out of here' at one point...

If there is a sequel, with added cake, there HAS to be a QTE where we actually eat the cake. Plus if we screw up any of the button, she drops the cake and we HAVE to eat another piece.

Actually, it's the elitist assholes who start hurling insults when you post about having some technical issue that you don't know how to fix that give PC gamers a bad name. Apparently every problem that's ever been had on the PC is easy to fix, and if you don't know how to fix it then you're a complete moron who has no business playing on the PC.

And frankly, if I wasn't so sick of hearing from console players about how DRMing isn't a big deal, I probably wouldn't be so bitter about them whining when there's actually something interesting on the PC that they don't get on their version.

Yes me making the joke that I really enjoy every Valve game I've ever played in a thread about Valve games to someone questioning the likelihood that a valve game will be good is uncalled for.

It was a joke, get over it.

Also no I've never played DoD. But I have been told to play it before.

Although that would still give them a better precedent than anyone outside of the guys who made World of Goo or Blizzard.

As for where it will go from here, I honestly don't know and I do agree it seems like they are going to be trying to squeeze themselves through a pinhole. But I've seen other companies do more with less so I'm sure they'll do fine.

I got the new ending after playing from a save file just before the level with the turrets. It's not really a ret-con as it is just an addition to the end.
