Valve Announces Portal 2

[Blink]

It's taken a while but Valve have finally released details of an official sequel to Portal:

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.

Portal 2 is the sequel to 2007's Portal, which won 70 industry achievement awards.

Good times!

Not to be a grammar bitch, but Valve Announces Portal 2 would probably be better than what the title is now.

[MayheM]

Don't correct a man's English when that man is from England... that's just silly.

Anyway, obviously speculation but the release of the first Portal game also coincided with the release of Ep2, anyone thing there is a chance this could involve Ep3?

[source-maps]

dont think so, valve said no EP3 this year, and portal 2 will release this year so do the math

Guys, in the official Valve comments there are underlined letters. The underlined lettered are:

d r a t t m a n n h 0 n e e

I see the words "rat man"

Maybe this is misleading junk...still cool.

EDIT: The ARG is over, the underlined letters make up the new username/password for the BBS. logging in now tells you that the ARG is over, and congrats.

PS, there is now a "PORTAL 2 Boycott" group on Steam and contributing members on the Steam Forums.

[Gradius]

Five boycott groups actually. They're all parodies of the L4D2 boycott efforts though.

[no00dylan]

Boycotters can seriously eat my cake, this is an awesome event that everyone should be excited over, but some sad people decide that Valve is the reason their lives suck and start joining other people who want a similar crutch to lean on. In a way I hope they keep doing that, look at what it did for l4d2s sales.

[Meotwister]

Screw the boycott crap, that was awesome.

Just adds another item to the list of reasons why Valve is a great developer.

[Spike]

No ep3 mention?
