Portal 2 Gets Release Date
AndrewGOO9 writes "After what has seemed like an eternity since Valve initially announced a sequel to their lauded puzzle title Portal, a release date has finally been attached to the game. Originally slated to be released before the end of the year in time for the holidays, Valve instead opted to delay the game, citing reasons such as, 'making games is hard' as well as continuing their tradition of releasing games when they're finished as opposed to rushing them out the door. Either way, mark your calendars for February 9th, 2011, and in the meantime, brush up on thinking with portals."
There's some new gameplay footage available, and Valve announced that Stephen Merchant will be lending his voice to the game.
The Release Date is a Lie! (I just had to ;)
People will want this game so bad that once it finally comes out, it will be a very-hyped event, drawing more people to buy the game.
That said, it's good to see that they are taking the time to make a worthy successor.
While you wait, please enjoy generous refreshments of candy and disappointment. Just kidding. The candy is also disappointment.
/* I don't think Portal 2 will be considered a disappointment. I just think that's something GLaDOS would say. I also totally stole it from a site's 404 page ages ago but I can't remember from where. */
Cake and grief counselling will be available after pre-ordering the sequel.
Rampant carbon sequestration destroyed the Dinosaurs' tropical paradise. I'm here to help repair the damage.
Maybe it'll be included as an afterthought at the end of the Portal 2 disc?
Those who fail to understand communication protocols, are doomed to repeat them over port 80.
Your Companion Cube.
You monster!
They're shooting for February in the attempt of making Christmas 2011.

moox. for a new generation.
Damn. It just isn't the same game if there is no cake. I feel like I have been lied to.
when will it be out of beta? Will it be releasing on-time?
In Soviet Russia jokes are formulaic and decidedly non-humorous.
They both have been baked, and now there will be cake.
Mmm Soylent Cake.
Anything can be found funny, from a certain point of view.
shut up, don't distract them from adding more totally sweet hats to Team Fortress 2
