[Syuusuke]

Ooh I see it, and the abundant amount of white noise all over the black cover!

[Inferno]

Welp, so basically June 16 2014?

[Botolf]

Possibly true, high likelihood of it being a clever fake. Throttling my hype (for now at least).

[n00b1n8R]

Not getting my hopes up again.
Won't complain if it is but, just no sense in doing more viral marketing for vaporware in case it isn't :p

[Higuy]

Half Life 3 is too far over due.

[EX12693]

Well, they DID confirm it won't be a E3. Getting my hopes up for the hell of it... where are my pills?

[=sw=warlord]

Wasn't this picture floating about last year?

[Higuy]

Going to assume its fake since it came out of CS4...

Prove me wrong. (please! I want hl3)

Could always be some touch up of the photo. I know I always do some small adjustments to any of my photos using Photoshop.

The photo was taken with a camera, plus it was cropped as well. Still could easily be a fake. We'll know come June 14th at, presumably, E3.

Or maybe it will be? (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Half-Life-Portal-Steam-FPS,10579.html)

Seriously, fingers are crossed.

[DEElekgolo]

Maybe a prequel.

[Inferno]

Fuck you valve. I was much more excited for Portal 2. If you ditch it I will never for give you and you will have ruined portal forever. Just like you did with TF2 and Counter Strike.

[Warsaw]

They are still making the game, it just won't be their focus at E3. It already got some pretty massive coverage in Game Informer anyways, so as long as this surprise isn't L4D 3, TF3, or Counter-Strike I will be happy.

[Inferno]

TF3 is basically going to be TF2 when the engineer update comes out. They've made enough changes to call it a "new game" anyways.

[CN3089]

Their E3 presence will still be about Portal 2. Hth.

[ICEE]

Or maybe it will be? (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Half-Life-Portal-Steam-FPS,10579.html)

Its the engineer update.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Whats this?
http://i50.tinypic.com/2vlrtqx.png

[343guiltymc]

They already confirmed it isn't EP3, though that doesn't rule out a full sequel.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Look at who the background character is.

[arbiter901]

it's been way too long for them to release another episode that has 3-4 hours of gameplay.
Hlaf Life 3 Much?

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

DUKE

[Syuusuke]

NUKEM

also Toy Story 3 is set to show on that same date.

[Inferno]

Yeah uh... When did valve pick up the Duke franchise...

[Syuusuke]

Maybe that's what they're going to announce.

Probably that's the only thing theyre going to announce.

[Inferno]

Too bad we'll have to take Valve Time into effect with DNF. As if the game wasn't already 10 years behind schedule!

[sdavis117]

Being released 50 years from now is better than it never being released.

[Phopojijo]

While it's not on their main site... it wouldn't surprise me. Take Two pissed off 3D Realms when apparently 3DR said Take Two tried to pawn DNF off on another large developer (rumours were Gearbox). The deal might have actually been accomplished.

Not sure what I think about a Duke game NOT by 3DR... but by Valve instead... maybe a step up.

[Disaster]

http://www.bbspot.com/News/2009/05/duke-nukem.html?from=rss
Valve purchased the source code for DNF back in May of 2009... so this article says.

http://dorkshelf.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/duke-nukem-forever-3.jpg
Definitely Duke Nukem. Look at the similarities.

[Inferno]

Valve is a good company. They will help duke get back on top of the shooter genre. I wonder if they will use the Source engine for it though.

[ICEE]

Duke + valve = yes!

Duke as the tenth class anyone?

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

DO IT

[Heathen]

Now the duke mod for the soldier might be added as a hat!

On the 3DR site and several others the stories completely different.
George went to T2 to for a final payment to complete DNF and T2 said they would only agree if they took hold of the franchise and all code related to it.

Don't mean this in a bad way, but did you even read the article?

[Rob Oplawar]

I was excited about DNF like four years ago. Now, I don't really give a shit. I'll play it and probably love it if it comes out, but I'm not holding my breath or anything. Portal 2, on the other hand, has me very excited. And HL2ep3 (or HL3 as the case may be) is something that I am absolutely dying to have.
For that reason, if Valve is further postponing both of those games in order to resurrect something I stopped caring about years ago, I will be royally pissed. Not that I feel I am entitled to have my whims served by Valve, but seriously, what a middle finger to fans of the series.

I'm not judging yet, I'm just saying, if that proves to be the case, my wrath will be... vocal.

[Disaster]

Don't mean this in a bad way, but did you even read the article?
I read the first paragraph. After reading it though, its bull shit hahaha.

[Inferno]

That article just troled me.

Gordan Nukem sounds like a cool guy though.

[sdavis117]

You know, I would laugh if Valve released DNF before HL2EP3. It would be the ultimate definition of irony.

[Inferno]

The mixture of Valve Time and the Infinite Space of Time created by DNF would RUPTURE THE VERY FABRIC OF REALITY1?!!?!

Or I will be playing DN64 on a emulator today.

[Heathen]

DNF + VALVETIME = ∞

[Siliconmaster]

I have to say, Valve and DNF would just be the greatest irony in the history of video gaming. Especially with all the Episode 3 anticipation.

[AAA]

Not only is Duke Nukem awesome, but what's this I spy in the logos at the bottom? Source Engine 2?

Where are you seeing this?

[n00b1n8R]

I assume he was refering to the 2 in the HL logo-bit.
That 2 there just indicates it's the HL2 engine.

[EX12693]

No. The HL2 symbol is the lambda with the little 2... this is Source with a little 2.

[CN3089]

Why are you analyzing a fake screenshot so intently


I mean really, DNF made by Valve? It's about as obvious as a joke gets

[EX12693]

Who cares whether it's real if fake? THERE'S A FUCKING NUMBER 2!!!!!

Also, Why would you -rep me? I know the logo for Take 2, I'm not an idiot. I was talking about how the Source engine logo has a 2 in the outer rim of it. I never said there was going to be Source engine 2 either, I was just speculating.

portal 2 delayed to 2011. (http://kotaku.com/5559281/portal-2-delayed-to-2011-but-valve-has-a-good-reason)

I can see that phrase becoming meme-worthy pretty quickly.

They're just being honest. Thats why most delayed games are delayed.

Oh, sure. It's just so blatantly obvious that it's sort of funny.

if its delayed, the fucker better make me cry when it comes out.

And if its a joke, then I dont care.

[n00b1n8R]

They announce the delay of portal 2 and 3 years later no word on ep 3.
g fucking g

[ejburke]

Whatever comes out should be called, "Half-Life 3". At this point, releasing an "Episode" 3 would just be opening themselves up to ridicule. They did 2 episodes, which is more than one, which satisfies the plurality of the "episodic" concept. Time to move on.

I don't care at all about Portal 2 or another Left 4 Dead sequel. What else you got, Valve?

[Syuusuke]

Team Fortress 2's Engineer Update?

[BobtheGreatII]

Team Fortress 2's Engineer Update?

How many times are we going to make this joke?

[Syuusuke]

Well what else does Valve have?

[Dwood]

L4D3. Aerowyn can complain about that even more.

[Inferno]

It doesn't matter. Gabe will probably show up at the E3 conference center 2 weeks late. And then he will forget why he was there and find the nearest restaurant.

So... What was the surprise?

[sdavis117]

I think that the Portal 2 delay may have officially been the surprise. Either way, I remember Valve saying that the surprise would be Portal 2 related.

[Syuusuke]

That's not surpising?

[Aerowyn]

They already confirmed it isn't EP3, though that doesn't rule out a full sequel.

It's never Episode 3. There's never going to BE an Episode 3. Because Valve can't seem to do the ONE THING that would net them TONS OF FREAKING MONEY IF THEY WOULD JUST FINISH THE DAMN GAME.

They always just piss around with stupid games like Duke Nukem and Portal 2 which I really couldn't give two shits over. :P

Making Games is Hard. Also if you believed the DNF thing then you're pretty gullible.




Also I'm anticipating Portal 2 far more than I would anticipate Episode 3. It'd be nice to get some closure on that storyline but Portal was clearly the superior game.

[Rob Oplawar]

How can Portal 2 be the surprise? There's nothing at all surprising about it.


So far there's been nothing at all surprising about E3 in general. I remember some years ago I used to get excited to see the new stuff at E3. Could be I'm just older and more mature, but it really does feel like the industry hasn't had anything new to offer in quite a while. Videogaming just doesn't have the cutting-edge-race feel for me anymore.

[Saggy]

The surprise is the announcement of Portal 2 on PS3... I think.

[Phopojijo]

The surprise is the announcement of Portal 2 Steam on PS3... I think.
Fixed.

[BobtheGreatII]

That was the worst surprise ever.

sorry but the 3DS owns

[Warsaw]

It really doesn't. Oh boy yet ANOTHER DS type with a novelty function that won't help it get better games. How about Nintendo just sucks it up and releases the DS 2 with some real controls and the 3D tossed in as a bonus?

Actually, same goes for Sony, too. PSP, PSP2000, PSP3000, PSP Go....what the fuck? "We don't want to add another analog stick because it breaks continuity." Really now? That's exactly the kind of asinine thinking that is costing you sales, Sony.

As for Steam on PS3: cross-platform multiplayer would be the most awesome thing to happen in awhile.

[CN3089]

Yeah sorry but Star Fox and OoT 3D remakes alone make it an instabuy


and the graphics advances as well as the 3D mean it may as well be the DS2

[chrisk123999]

Fixed.

It's actually just Portal 2 with steamworks, meaning it will get updated just as often as the PC version does. TF2 on PS3 sucks, it is almost never gets updated.

Shit quality, but Portal 2 looks awesome. OK, I can get excited about that.

[English Mobster]

For all the 3DS nay-sayers:
I don't know about you, but something with Avatar-style 3D technology without the need for special glasses seems like a major breakthrough to me. Sure, the graphics may be on par with the old Gamecube rather than the 360 or PS3, but the 3DS is revolutionary just for that reason.
Hopefully the release date is soon, I need to upgrade from my old first-gen DS, and it seems silly to buy the DSi when the 3DS is around the corner.

E: Oh, hey, Leo Laporte is in that video up there. I listen to his podcasts all the time; I used to watch him on TechTV before it got changed to G4.

[Inferno]

Was that? Orange juice?

Awesome.

[Syuusuke]

So anyone know the story behind going through another horrid labyrinth with that GladOS thingy?

[Warsaw]

Moar science? Also, you were dragged off at the end of the first Portal, so it's not like you escaped.


graphics advances

Lol...

[ICEE]

Also, you were dragged off at the end of the first Portal, so it's not like you escaped.

when did that happen?

At the end.

Granted, the ending could be interpreted as either a shot of the wreckage, or a view through Chel's eyes as she lays in the rubble. In the latter case, she'd probably still be picked up by company workers anyways.

[Futzy]

I actually just played through it today. A robot bro says thank you for assuming the party submission position and then drags you off

[Aerowyn]

The only reason I want Portal 2 is just to hear more of creepy GladOS. It's not really appealing to me, with what I've seen so far. Sort of looks too hard. *shrug*

Don't get me wrong, I am excited for the continuation of the storyline. I love GladOS and how creepy she is and I look forward to more chilling dialogue. To me, it seems like Valve just threw a huge list of shit together like, "HEY, why don't we have lava and spiky squishy things and oil slicks and trampolines." and to me it just feels cluttered and overcomplicated. I loved Portal because of its simplicity of design. It was you and the portal gun and that was essentially it. And this just seems like they're trying too hard to make this game "EXTREME."

Watching the trailer made me think of Sonic the Hedgehog.... like are your feet ever really supposed to touch the ground? Are you ever really supposed to STOP moving? :P There's so much bouncing and flying through the air that it doesn't leave a lot of room for thinking the puzzles through.

I'm intending to buy Portal 2, whether or not I'll play it from start to finish is another matter.

[Rob Oplawar]

Well, there's only so far you can go with "you're in a room but the exit is blocked unless you can distort normal geometry" puzzles. I'm very glad that they're adding more to the game.

And it's Valve; it's completely assured that every single mechanic they employ will have a long introduction on its use.
Hell, that's how Portal was. Every other puzzle was mechanics from previous puzzles with a new mechanic applied. In order for Portal 2 to be the continuation of that, by definition it needs to employ new mechanics, like spiky squishy things and oil slicks.

[SiriusTexra]

They are showing the games new features. Do you want to see video of footage, of walking around, and walking through portals? No, so what your seeing, are the new features.

Portal 1 was your training session. Portal 2 looks to be the real deal this time. Putting the shit to the test.

Hating on a game because it looks to be too hard for you is a real cunt move. A. Real. Cunt. Move. The kind of move that is exactly the thought process behind why games design is dying for the most part. Casual. Approachable. Simple. "DESIGN".

You need to have light, and shade. Portal 1 and Portal 2 in comparison are a perfect ying and yang. You felt clean and tidy in portal. Then all of a sudden, you get thrust into the rusty unpredictable underbelly.

The new one, is your whole perfect little world being unpredictable, yet controlled, and nature intruding on what was once unnatural.


"simplicity of design."

Oh i see. Your one of those.

There is a time and a place. If everything were "Apple" white and round, that not design, that's bland. You need the full spectrum of angles at your disposal. Not just rehashing what once was so you can hear some fucking dialogue some more.

They made the first portal "simple in design" because it fit with the COLD STERILE environment. That, and like it or not, it was a hardware performance decision. Less to render, portals are hard to render.

Point being, design does not always equal simplicity. The moment society realises that, real designers can return to doing real design.


Valve don't "throw shit together". Thinking in this light just takes a big wrecking ball to who valve are and what they've done for us, and what they continue to do for us. They haven't made an even slightly shit game yet. You, behind a screen think you know what the fuck is what.







Also:



Fucking bitch.
yes, warn away.


^ There, there's your asshole.

Don't slam on ICEE for being an asshole when he wasn't being one. He was being awesome.

[Aerowyn]

Hating on a game because it looks to be too hard for you is a real cunt move. A. Real. Cunt. Move.

Perhaps you didn't see the part where I said I was excited about the game because of the continuation of the storyline, and that I fully intend to purchase the game upon release. I am eager to play it for the merits of the story and the visuals. Whether or not the game is "too hard" remains to be seen. Game's not coming out for another year.

by the way, the story behind the "paint" in portal 2 is that valve hired another team of digipen grads that worked on a game (https://www.digipen.edu/studentprojects/tag/) that had that as its major gameplay point, and I guess the Portal series is where they stick all their digipen hires :golfclap:

The point of portal is that you ideally solve the puzzle with your mind before you execute it. Some chambres are actually broken into several puzzles even in the first Portal. You observe, calculate, and draft a plan, then execute it. If the puzzle requires you to make new portals on the fly, then you should already know that ahead of time. I don't think Valve will make a game as ridiculous as Portal: Prelude was.

tl;dr: there is plenty of time for thinking through the puzzle.

[Inferno]

Portal: Prelude was :gonk: from start to finish. But in a good way.

Took me ages to figure out some of those puzzles.

[AAA]

I beat it, but it was a straight up bitch. Literally, it took me all day to beat it. From 9 in the morning to around midnight.

Glad I have that sense of accomplishment, but good god I'm not playing it EVER AGAIN.

[Rob Oplawar]

I agree, Prelude was too hard. The trouble was that the tricky parts were more about pushing your motion ability to the limit and less about solving puzzles. It had some really good puzzles in it, but the parts where you had to place several portals in a row while flying through the air ended up ruining the experience for me.

Also, God dammit Dane, please don't be on my side. Ever. I just...
You know what, you're going on my ignore list. *wipes hands*

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I beat prelude, I liked it and found it fun, but challenging.

[Inferno]

Welp. I guess not everyone can combo portals so easily. I love those parts where you have to combo 4 or 5 portals to do a huge jump. The only part of Prelude I REALLY hated was the tiny room with a ton of sentries.

[CN3089]

Prelude isn't terrible, but it's still pretty bad.

Skip ahead to 1:35 to watch some more of the gameplay. Incendiary laser beam FTW? Not understanding the coloured blobs, exactly, but hey.

The paint? Each colour has a different effect. Orange makes you move really fast, blue makes you bounce, and I don't know what the other colours do.

Incendiary laser beam FTW? Not understanding the coloured blobs, exactly, but hey.If you were a guy you'd understand that adding laser beams that set things on fire is one of the greatest ideas since sliced bread :downs:

If you still think it's getting 'too hard' though, think of it this way: the more new features, the more ways to beat each puzzle depending on how good your own individual skills are.

Really now, go watch a Portal 1 speedrun and just see all the wacky ways the people beat the level, completely different from what Valve probably had intended.

I love this game already. Too bad "Next Year" probably means "2012".

Valve plans to have cross-platform co-op between PS3 and PC/Mac for Portal 2

http://www.thekartel.com/zylvin/blog/2010/06/17/valve_plans_to_have_cross-platform_co-op_between_ps3_and_pcmac_for_portal_2

This surprise is potentially reaching awesome levels of awesome :iamafag:

[Inferno]

Why would I want to Co-Op with console players? What's the advantage to that?

[Warsaw]

So we can brag to them in-game about how much more awesome it looks on PC versus console and how much more precise our portal layouts are?

[Inferno]

But console kids usually think Halo was the first multiplayer shooter. They are annoying to play with.

[Botolf]

Why would I want to Co-Op with console players? What's the advantage to that?
Because it would increase the size of the potential player pool? It'd be fun to play coop with a friend who owns a PS3?

Look, I do 90% of my gaming on the PC, but that doesn't mean I can't look forward to playing with people on drastically different hardware. I like a bigger and more varied community, why wouldn't you? :raise:

And yet you may make some on different consoles! Stranger things have occurred in the history of the universe.

Actually now that I think of it. PC players will be able to unlock the console then abuse the console players.

Suddenly I like this idea.

I'm so excited for the new puzzles. It's going to be awesome.

Why would I want to Co-Op with console players? What's the advantage to that?

Trolling.

Actually, I haven't seen these particular videos yet (Not in their entirety, all I've seen are clips from these), so much obliged. :)

ALSO, I think Wheatley is my new favourite character. He's super-adorable. More adorable than companion cube. By far. I loved the whole "We need a password, but it's fine, we can just hack it. Okay.... eight, eight, eight, eight, eight.... EIGHT!!!"

Sort of reminds me of something...

He's actually saying "A, A, A, A, A... A" :p

[Syuusuke]

I thought it was saying A.

Damn straight.

[CN3089]

Do you have a pen? Start writing these down! :v:

[Jelly]

I hate his accent. I hope the voice acting is more polished by release.

[Syuusuke]

Since when do they "polish" accents?

[Botolf]

How can you not love Wheatley??

[Inferno]

I hate his accent. I hope the voice acting is more polished by release.

Heresy!

He's too awesome.

[CN3089]

His accent is fine it's his delivery that's a bit off during the GladOS scene

[ICEE]

Wheatley is awesome! His accent reminds me of Conker's bad fur day.

[SiriusTexra]

Wheatleys voice is a valve guy. It was meant to be placeholder for animations.

Everyone loves him like a bucket of caramel though, so they're thinking of making him the actual voice. Obviously the current one doesn't have any of the loleffects that glados does, and as CN said, approach is off a tad.

Revoiced, autotune fuckup effects and it's there.

I actually think he shouldn't even talk during that scene. :\ it was like, "Can't you see I'm having a moment."

Also, it sounded like he was saying "8" to me, but oh well, haha.

[ICEE]

I think wheatley exists to fill the void left for the protagonist's personality. To be honest, I like that void. Generally I dislike characters that have this purpose (navi, other fairy bitch from majora's mask) but wheatley's pretty charming.

[Inferno]

It doesn't seem like you will be with wheately for the whole game. It sounds like you will pickup and drop off characters throughout the single player campaign.

[SiriusTexra]

I'm calling there be a pms lesbian bitch robot with abandonment issues.

"oh where do you think your going. No come back!! COME BACK!!! Don't leave me here. Where'd you go? OH YAY YOUR BACK. I missed you , my sweet"

Then she get's blown the fuck up, and were all like :gonk:


Also, whats the call on bipedal robots that create portals to fuck YOU up, chasing you down.
