Portal 2 Delayed

Postby Blink on Wed Jun 09, 2010 6:04 pm

So it seems we won't be seeing Portal 2 till at least next year:

June 9, 2010 -- Aperture Science, doing business as Aperture Laboratories LLC, in partnership with Valve today announced the successful completion of an ethics-review-panel-supervised release date restructuring process. Portal 2, the sequel to the ground-breaking title that earned over 30 Game of the Year awards despite missing its original ship date, is now targeted for a 2011 release.

Representatives from both companies acknowledged that public safety concerns factored into the decision. They went on to say that even though Portal 2 will arrive slightly later than planned, all life on earth won't instantaneously stop as every molecule in your body explodes at the speed of light, which is what would happen should a rip ever appear in the fabric of Valve Time.

"Also, the game will be even better," they added, missing an historic opportunity to create the first product delay press release to mention that a product is being delayed to make it worse.

Since it's Valve, this comes as no surprise. The first thing I said when reading the topic title was, "What a surprise", in a very sarcastic tone.

You missed the rest of the announcement, that pretty much shatters any hope of seeing HL3/Ep3 at E3 this year:

To ask questions about how close we all came to dying, or to ask futile questions about the previously announced E3 ***PORTAL-2-THEMED-FOR-GOD'S SAKE*** surprise or, less futilely, to schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve's delegate to the EU's Valve Time Studies Group, Doug Lombardi.


So it's Portal 2 themed, but not Portal 2... :'(

Maybe this is because they want to put for manpower into Ep3 instead of Portal 2?
