Rumour – Portal 2 to get GDC reveal next week

portallogo

Remember that forum thread from yesterday which managed to unravel what appeared to be the first art of Portal 2? Well, if said thread is correct, the sequel could get a reveal next week at GDC.

It comes as the original was given an update yesterday, which brought this manhunt on.

Forum goers at Steam are saying that evil overseer from the original, GlaDOS, is thought to be V3.11. No coincidence, right? Associate that with a date in time, and you get March 11.

Ironically, that is the same day Valve boss Gabe Newell is to pick up his Pioneer Award at the Game Developers Awards in San Francisco next Thursday. Chances are the game could be revealed there.

Let’s hope so. We miss GlaDOS, and want to have some cake with her. Say what? The cake is a lie? We’ll never look at the world the same again.

Thanks, Kotaku

Very cool, i fear that if this is just another 2 hour long XBLA affair, then we may be in trouble of over hyping it

Portal was amazing, but part of that was from it being completely unexpected

i hope they announce it to be released in the next couple of months…or maybe part of xbox’s summer arcade collection

Why would they announce a “XBLA affair” via an update of the pc version?

when i say “XBLA affair” i’m obviously referring to a multi platform micro title as opposed to a full disc release, i couldn’t give a damn which platform you cuddle up to late at night

thank you, i was undecided there for awhile

but now its official

i hate the world

I’m loving this whole deal. It’s gimmicky, but it’s the classy sort of gimmicky, and it’s gonna be very interesting to see where Portal goes next.

I think it’s a safe bet that there’ll be more varied content, but the beauty of Portal was that it actually dared to go back to basics with simple, fun, nicely wrapped core gameplay, probably one of the least explored territories in gaming these days.

@1,3 – It hardly makes a lot of sense to cause this much hubbub about a game that offers a swift couple of hours of gameplay. Valve doesn’t exactly have a record of making the worst business decisions in the industry, so I reckon we’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
