The Portal 2 Discussion Thread

Just deciding to put this here so that we don't get a shitstorm of Portal 2 related threads all of a sudden.

So what do we know so far?

Official Press Release (with a hidden BBS login, a character named d. rattman?)
Possible holiday release date (GameStop says October 26?)
Steam for Mac? HA HA HA HA. Good one, Valve.

[POSSIBLE SPOILERS WITHIN]

Does a general run-through of the plot of Portal 2, potential characters.

We'll be playing co-op and multiplayer (I can just sense the collective erection of trolls everywhere), with the possibility of exploring the world OUTSIDE of Aperture Science.

Will add more as it comes in.

Discuss. Happy? Mad? Where's Episode 3?! :gonk:

Oh, I managed to miss this thread. Thanks for posting in the other one.

Is it just me or is the press-release written in poor enlighsh?
I can see they're trying to do some AR stuff but that's so poor it has to mean something in it's self. >.>

EP 3 PLEASE

It better have some goddamn portals in it

According to GameInformer, Valve said this game takes place HUNDREDS of years after the original.

Scans below; MAJOR SPOIIERS WITHIN. If these aren't allowed, could someone please tell me.

woah, where did these scans come from? and what's this i hear about another bbs number? last time i checked all we had was ascii art...

oh...GameInformer....i should've read that a little more closely

Game Informer magazine. Waiting for my issue in the mail. :realsmug:

I was really hoping they were going to incorporate Portal 2 into EP3 to tie in the story...but I guess a standalone will still be good.

I am so stoked for the new physics with Portals :D gonna be great.

Interesting to see CabooseJr's reaction :D

Gabe just gave an acceptance speech at the GDC awards, gave a lovely presentation on why he and his company kick so much ass, then his PowerPoint got a "BSOD." According to random parts of the interweb (namely Kotaku), it mentioned something along the lines of "press any key to release a deadly neurotoxin." He also said at the end of the speech "you figure it out." Dunno if that means anything yet.

Will be watching the internets like a hawk as this develops.
