So it seems that at long last we may be progressing towards an announcement of the release of Portal 2.

Yesterday, Valve updated Portal with a mysterious message in the update news:

"Changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum management regulations."

They also added a new achievement:

"Transmission Received
..?"

This article explains what happened next. Essentially, radios are now found in every level of Portal and when brought to a certain spot in each level play out morse code. Players have decoded the message and followed the secrets through to find what is apparently ASCII versions of screenshots from Portal 2.

Now, only minutes ago today, another update has been released for Portal reading simply: "Added valuable asset retrieval."

It doesn't seem that anyone's figured out what this means yet (and I haven't had time to check the game out myself) but this is pretty exciting! It's been a long time, and I am certainly hoping Portal 2 isn't too far on the horizon.

And while we're at it, Valve, any chance of Half Life 2, Episode 3? :redd:

Edit: And as of March 5, we have Confirmation.

I am so excited!

Edit 2: March 8. Game Informer's exclusive article on Portal 2 in their April issue has apparently leaked.

Here are the scans:

Is it just me, or does 99% of the plot of Valve games take place in their online blogs and in-jokes?

I'm just hoping this turns out as more than content expansion. I'm wondering what new ideas they'll have, and also how it will tie into the Half-Life universe. If you'll remember, Aperture Science was actually mentioned in Episode 2.

Yeah, I believe that might be the "valuable asset retrieval" aka getting the Portal gun back... Chell has "assumed" the submissive position (as GLaDOS asked her to just after escaping the furnace) and is now being "escorted" away... unconscious of course...

I don't think she's totally unconscious... otherwise there wouldn't be this video at the end of the game. Or else you can see and hear things while unconscious, which seems pretty unlikely. Though, she must be pretty close to faint after what she went through.

I have to admit, I'm very excited by those two updates. Looks like awesome stuff is coming our way. Go VALVe! :karma:

And we have confirmation: Portal 2 is coming this year.

I'll update the first post with this. Also you may notice that some of the letters are underlined.

Spoiler:
It says 'drattmannh0nee'. As far as I can tell, no one's figured out the significance of this yet.

I'll be eagerly awaiting Portal 2, having been a fan of the first one. But I still wish there was some word about whatever is going on with the next HL installment....

Oh wowwww...

Spoiler:
I've entered "drattmannh0nee" in every possible spot in the website and nothing's coming up. Those guys at Valve really know how to do these... Maybe it's an anagram?

Maybe if I get a good PC I can play Portal and then this. And the other good games.

I wonder if Portal 2 can sprout a meme like Portal did. "The cake is a fact"!?

Yeah...Valve already released an update changing the ending for Portal 1. I suppose they're paving the way for Portal 2 by doing so...

Are the updates only for the orange box version of Portal?
Because I bought the version from xbox live arcade with the new maps and it hasn't been updated. I looked for a new game-add on too and there was nothing.. ='\

Pretty sure it's for the PC version only. Valve's games are primarily PC games. They ported a few of them to the XBox, but they don't get the support and updates that the PC versions do.

Also there's a lot more info available on Portal 2. The Game Informer article has leaked apparently and there are scans up.

Apparently Portal 2, as well as many of Valve's other games, will be on the mac if that interests anyone.

This is exciting, another game to look forward this year.

The first Portal was awesome, and so was GLaDOS.
According to those magazine scans, seems like there's a good chance GLaDOS will be making an appearance. :keiko:

With all the effort being put into Portal 2, it almost makes me forgive VALVe for a lack of info regarding HL2 Episode 3.

Those scans are okay but I got my GI today so I'll go ahead and quote some things GLaDOS was saying.

"Oh, It's you..."

"It's been a long time. How have you been? I've been really busy being dead. Okay look, we both said a lot of things that you are going to regret. But I think we should put our differences behind us. For science. You monster"

And heres one other.

"We're a lot alike, you and I. You tested me. I tested you. You killed me. I---Oh, no, wait. I guess I haven't killed you yet. Well. Food for thought during the next test."

Well.....Meep.

Also...I haven't played Portal again so I haven't played it again to see if this is in it now so I'll put this in for good measure...

"We are pleased that you made it through the final challenge where we pretended we were going to murder you. We are very,very happy for your success. We are throwing a party in your honor of your tremendous success. Place the device on the ground then lie on your stomach with your arms at your sides. A party associate will arrive shortly to collect you for your party. Make no further attempt to leave the testing area. Assume the party escort submission position or you will miss the party."

If all of the game's writing will be like this, it's going to be as good as the first game's. And that is fucking great news.

I just got the actual Gameinformer with the article. Apparently, Portal 2 is going to take place at least a hundred years after the original portal, so any tie in with Half-life will have to be in the next half-life installment.

New gameplay elements include platforms that launches things high into the air, "thermal discouragement" lasers and redirecting cubes, beam bridges that can be redirected through portals, a vacuum end of transporting tubes that can suck things through portals, and paint dispensers that can make coated objects incredibly slippery (and increases speed), or extremely bouncy.

It seems that the story that those two will be in is going to be an entirely separate story, so it doesn't seem like Shel is going to be seeing either of them.

I can't wait for this! I had a lot of fun with Portal 1 and pretty much my only complaint was that it was too short and I was hungering for me. Well, now it occurs that Valve listened to the fans! I'm hyped~

I'm getting errors when I'm clicking the link for http://img408.imageshack.us/i/41663763.jpg/, but there's the right amount of images, so if that's fixed, the whole article will be there.

I also just took pictures of Gameinformer's Portal 2 special cover, in case people are interested.

I just spent five minutes trying to get a good picture of the missing page with my cheap camera. Not the best picture, but at least now you've got something.
