I have to say this is isnt really funny anymore, Valve are just taking the ****.

Refund.

Really?

REALLY NOW?!

They're advertising INDIE games and advertising them, and if we do what they want we get the game early, but if we don't we get it ON THE DAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO RELEASE ANYWAY..

Crying about it is pathetic, and saying you want a refund because Valve is supporting Indie developers is pathetic and sad.

Doubt this is going to affect anyone but the Walmart in Whitecourt, Alberta is selling Portal 2 already for the Xbox 360.

That happened when Half Life 2 was coming out, Bestbuy broke the street date. :shiftyninja:

Still got my receipt and pictures when I bought it heh.

Wow... Portal was 3 gig. Portal 2 is 10. :blink:

And I'm officially ready to rock and roll! :happy:

Considering it was just a "plus" to the orange box and not a standlone game, normal that this time around they have made alot more content.

Also, there are 2 games in one: Single player and co-op which is different.

While unlikely, if any of this ARG stuff does turn out to be Half Life E3 related, I will be very happy.

None of it is about Half-Life 3. It's entirely related to Portal 2.

The game has also leaked, and there doesn't appear to be any hints at the next installment of the Half-Life franchise as was speculated.

Look at the Portal 2 achievements - "Ship overboard - find the missing experiment"

Also speculation that thewatcher is Gman. I said it's unlikely, but some of it can easily be interpreted as related to HL2e3. Portal 2 is set in the HL universe, there will be some references to it, even if they weren't even making it.

That's exactly what I'm saying. The game has leaked, and nothing has indicated any information about Half-Life 3, despite the assumptions. Portal 2 takes place hundreds of years after the events in the Half-Life franchise.

Half-life 3 will be like the new Duke Forever pretty soon.

Except the situations are completely different. Valve is a company thats just growing and making more money, Duke Nukem has had a string of problems that there is no reason Valve would have.

I'm personally still convinced they will tie up the series, they occasionally drop hints in interviews, and other things, and considering how secretive they are about everything who knows. If they want to make it they will, if they don't, they won't - but I doubt it's in development hell.

What if the experiments on the Borealis were not just portals in space but in time as well which is why the ship dissappeared it could have been transported into the Portals timeline hence the achievement?

    • Cuktech 10 Ultra charger review: big display, four ports, 110W total power

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
