No Portal 2 for 2008

Portal
Very huge disappointment, in my opinion — not to mention how big of a Portal enthusiast I was before it was released. We all knew that a Portal 2 was coming. Well, for those of us who played it and enjoyed it enough to desire more of it. But, in fact, that’s so very wrong. According to a Eurogamer interview with Valve’s Doug Lombardi, there will be no new Portal 2 this year. He states that he wants Portal’s sequel to be equally as revolutionary and innovative as the original, rather than making an equally small one.

On one side, I’m pretty sad to not see a new one coming out this year (especially at the first/second quarter of the year). But on the other hand, I’m thrilled to see that Valve’s Portal development team isn’t allowing us the pleasure of instant gratification with small sequels, and providing a [hopefully] larger one with more ideas and brainteasers. I’m fine with seeing it release early 2009, but if it nears 2010, I’m going nuts.

  • Naitsu's profile

    Kevin, or Naitsu mostly contributes to the news section. He is most notable for his broad (and often strange) tastes and interests. For instance, he may be playing a game like Wario Ware: Smooth Moves as a morning game, and Gears of War as an afternoon game whilst listening to Justin Timberlake one minute, and Dying Fetus the next. He enjoys reading e-mails and talking to the community, so if you want to speak to him, he's all ears.
