Jimmy0 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Valve has said it will definitely be making more Portal, confirming plans to add significantly more than just "a bunch of new puzzles".Speaking to Eurogamer, spokesperson Doug Lombardi said it was less a matter of if and more a matter of what and when. "There'll be more Portal, for sure. But the details of that, to be honest, we're still working out," he said. "The only smart thing we did for Portal was to hire those seven kids and give them the support they needed to make the game." Unsurprisingly Valve is reluctant to be rushed by a release schedule. It's adopting the same policy for Half-Life 2 finale Episode Three. "Gordon is our number one guy," said Lombardi. "In Episode One I think we left people with some big questions. After Episode Two people saw it was going somewhere. "With Episode Three we want to live up to the promise of where we are taking things to; there's a lot of work being done to make sure we deliver on that promise." He added, "Exact details on what's next for Gordon are a way off; probably months not weeks." The chances it will all fall into another Orange Box are slim. Valve works to its own timetable and, if multiple projects come to a close around the same time, then potentially it could happen. One thing you can count on is value. Valve wants all of its additional content to be free, for example, and to ensure gamers know a product with its name on the box is worth buying. Coming up next are maps for Team Fortress 2, which will be bundled into downloadable packs for PS3 and 360 at some point in the future. For free. Oh, and Doug Lombardi is chuffed you lot praised the individual components of The Orange Box enough to put it high on the list of Eurogamer readers' top games of 2007. "That's awesome," he exclaimed. "Eurogamer is one of our favourite sites [oh stop you big flirt], and it's a testament to the fact you attract intelligent readers that they chose The Orange Box as their favourite game." Hehe, he called you intelligent. Source: EuroGamer.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kushan Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Portal was great, but I still hate how Valve pulled off the whole Orange box thing. I'll wait and see how they decide to sell Episode 3 before I get excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacer Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 So now we all know that moar Portal is definitely coming. Now, the only question is when? Since it's Valve we're talking about here, I just hope I get to play Episode 3 and Portal 2 before I turn 90 (23 now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whYeNQue Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 i love portal... cos the package (script, puzzles, gameplay) was original... a portal 2 won't be as original and i dont see it being as dear to people as the first one... lets hope it can live up to it's predecessor cos i am willing to give it a chance.
