Valve Announces Portal 2

Posted by Soulskill on from the this-was-a-triumph dept.

eldavojohn writes "Enough rumors, Portal 2 is due out for 2010. Valve also let users know through an announcement on Steam. Game Informer seems to be the de facto provider of Portal 2 information so far. Prepare yourselves for more aperture science! Notice anything funny about the underlined letters in Steam's announcement?"

    ...along with the rest of the ARG. They've already been quite solved, over there. http://portalwiki.net/

  2. Mac support? by MBCook · · Score: 5, Interesting

    At this point, I'm far more interested in Vavle's Mac development that they seem to be doing. I'd love to know if I can finally ditch my Windows partition. I'd love to see Steam and the Source Engine on OS X.

    Given their solid Direct3D stance, I'm a little worried... but a gamer can dream, right?

    Still, Portal 2. Going to have to play that.

  3. The Flash Version Mappack by pcgabe · · Score: 5, Informative

    While you're waiting for Portal 2, play the FV mappack if you haven't already. It introduces some new game mechanics, and would itself have been an OK sequel (or prequel), except it's a totally free mod instead.

    Did you play with sound enabled?

  5. Neat by DeadDecoy · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't know what I'm more surprised at, the clever way in which Valve announced Portal 2, or how quickly their obscure puzzle was crowd sourced and solved. Heck, I only noticed the achievement a view days ago, and now we have unencrypted images from sound bytes in the game. I wonder what would happen if Valve left a little teaser challenge: cure cancer and we'll give you episode 3.
