Is this coming out on the PS3?

Yes, and the last I heard, if you purchase the PS3 version, you get the PC version for free as well, as Portal 2 is the game that is bringing Steam to the PS3, so it will be considered a Steam Play game. So to me it is a no brainer to get it on the PS3 if one owns a PS3 and also owns a PC. I was just going to get the PC version, but now will get the PS3 version as why not have the option to play it on 2 different machines.

It's not up for pre-order on Steam - yet. I'll be ordering it from there as soon as possible.

Haha, love it!

Larry is right on the PS3 front. If you own a PS3, there's really no reason not to get it for that.

Portal 2 is finished, says Gabe

Puzzle sequel "put to bed", going through final approval process.

Valve's Managing Director Gabe Newell has announced that Portal 2 is "finished", confirming that the oft-delayed first-person puzzler will finally go on sale this April.

"We just finished Portal 2," said Newell speaking in a video conference call with a marketing class at Tippecanoe Valley High School.

"It's pretty much put to bed and we're just waiting for final approvals and to get the discs manufactured."

You can breathe a sigh of relief now, Portal fans.

But there's still no word on Half-Life: Episode 3, with Newell confirming that Valve's next game will be Dota 2, a fantasy RTS "which will be out later this year."

Portal 2 goes on sale in the UK on April 22nd on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Will you be picking it up?

i just preordered it for PC on steam. cost me 42 dollars canadian (steal...) total. I love steam. Yeah i could have gotten it for ps3 and linked the game and get it free for PC/OSX but the PS3 version would have cost me almost 30 dollars more and i'm only gonna play it on my PC or macbook anyways... can't wait!

I was doubting your figure of 'almost $30 dollars more' until I added in tax to the $59.99 cost, and you're right. :s

Still planning on skipping the preorder and grabbing the PS3 copy at the end of the month; Portal 2 is being released right in the middle of exam season. :(

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
