Valve Delays Portal 2, Squashes Duke Nukem Rumors

Posted by Soulskill on from the duke-is-not-still-alive-still-alive dept.

SKYMTL writes "In a tongue-in-cheek commentary, Valve has announced the delay of Portal 2 and thrown water on the rumor fires regarding its E3 'surprise.' This surprise was rumored to be either Half-Life 3 or the revival of Duke Nukem, and it looks like neither will happen anytime soon."

    Shouldn't they get Half-Life 2 Episode 3 done first?

      If it comes out this year, or in 2011, will people still want it? I'm sure it will hurt them, the engine is getting old, fans are feeling alienated. Way to blow a fantastic franchise Valve.

      And yet people still put faith into Activision/Blizzard that by the time they get around to the third installment of Starcraft2, they won't have lost interest/developers/goodfaith and will put out something at the same quality (if they ever get around to it) as the first 'third' of the game.

    Why do you have the Slashdot/Games section on if you don't care about games?

    If they admitted that it was either of them there wouldn't be much point of a surprise then.
