Exactly, you said EA instead and they don't make the games.

Oh? Then I'm guessing Rockstar developed The Orange Box for the PS3.

Now when did i even say Rockstar?

[Inky]

Valve makes it.

EA publishes it.

[Gezim]

And just in case Inky's statement wasn't clear enough for you ladies here, EA was responsible for the PS3 version of The Orange Box, which was, in fact, a very sh*tty port compared to the 360 and PC versions.

[Supreme.]

Also, it may be worth noting Valve Time.

QUOTE

Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike and Half-Life) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Portal 2 for shipment this coming holiday season.

Valve Time: This year's holiday season
Actual Time: Holiday season of next year

[Mr. Someguy]

At least they'd rather move the release date instead of rush the game.

[Supreme.]

Agreed, that's one of the reasons I like Valve.

I'd prefer they ditch the 'episode' in favor of a full, proper Half Life 3, even if it meant pushing it back to 2012 or '13.

*inhales* YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't f*cking wait. Best news I have heard all week.

This alternative (updated) ending I hope its included in the 360 release of P2.

I wonder on how it will be released for 360? Will the game be long enough for a disc? Maybe an XBLA release like Portal: Still Alive?

Or another Orange Box which may include HL2:Ep3 and a new game with a new tech like the first Portal?

No you tard. What part of I hope valve publish don't you get?

I'm not on about EA publishing Portal 2.

[Rusty Balls]

Ouh, I could pee !!!

You guys probably don't want to chat about that though, you probably just want to talk about Portal 2 related news.

[^- Dice ->]

Every bit of confirmed information is nicely summed up in this thread for anyone interested in the storyline

And an interesting qoute

QUOTE

Portal was a 'trial'. Size and assets specifically kept minimal. Had no idea it would be this popular. - Portal was a 'test bed', Portal 2 is a 'game'.

This thing will be big, can't wait

[Supreme.]

Interesting, indeed.

If they make the sequel much longer, and yet every bit oozing with even more awesomeness throughout.......

[Enjoii]

Still haven't seen anything on a PS3 release, but apparently it's going to be released on Mac; http://gizmodo.com/5487645/portal-2-confirmed-for-mac

Yeah, they've stated that 'episode' probably wasn't the best choice of wording.

I'm still betting on valve publishing the PS3 version of portal 2. I did some digging on d-tiod and found some articles that point to a possible portal 2 release on the console.

• Valve 'sure' it'll develop for PS3 in the future
• Valve is going to get better at PS3, promise

[SaintJimmy]

That's the updated ending which was included in the update only on the 3rd of this month.
Also, was anyone missing those underlined characters on the Steam page? I screencapped it in case it was a time-bound thing they did in order to stay mysterious.


See those characters? "d r a t t m a n n h 0 n e e"...?


I did a bit of investigation.
Drattmannh0nee.
The update notes for the Portal update simply said: "valuable asset retrieval". Obviously with Chell being the 'valuable asset'. It also update the Portal in-game BBS - you can now log in with "drattmann" as the username, and "h0nee" as the password.

Actually, you know what? No. I just realized there's a very long and intricate ARG that this all relates back to and I'm not going to explain it because I simply cannot be f*cked. Google it.
...sorry guys.

[13-37]

still no EP3,

[Drake1212]

From the gameinformer aticle:

QUOTE

One new detail complicates Valve's carefully implemented continuity - Portal 2 takes place hundreds of years after the original game. We assume the party associate stashed Chell in some sort of stasis chamber in which she's quietly passed time.

Am i the only one who finds this interesting?
If aperature science facility center is still controlled by glados, after hundreds of years, does this mean the combines havent been driven away from earth yet?

[fullmetal]

What does GLados have to do with the combines? You do know that the combines have NOTHING to do with Aperture science. Aperture Science and Black Mesa were actually two competing companies as far as I know. That's it... combines have nothing to do with it.

On top of that: I find it quite disturbing. When I read it takes place 'hundreds of years' after, and that chell is still alive... it's a bit too much in my opinion. Though I'm sure Valve knows how to pull it off properly.

I'm really curious about this co-op mode...
