Portal 2 set for this year. Xbox 360 and PC only.

 

Gamestop's listing for the title brings new information. According to the product page, the game "introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers," it reads. "Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game."

 

GameStop currently lists the title for Xbox 360 and PC. No PS3 version is coming. The title is due out on October 26, 2010, though that release date may not be final. It's also a full retail release. The Xbox 360 version is $59.99, while PC is $49.99.

Διαβάζω ότι ενδεχομένως να έχει και co-op campaign και multiplayer (?)

Τέλος πάντων τα νέα είναι θετικά, εκτός από το ότι η περιγραφή το κάνει να ακούγεται σαν απλό expansion του πρώτου, και το ότι η (αναφερόμενη) τιμή του είναι

Portal 2 GI feature gets scanned, is internetalised, looks awesome

 

Not even two days since its formal reveal, but yet already, the Game Informer feature of Portal 2 is already online.

 

But we know what you want: the info. So here it is, served with chocolate cake.

 

* The original Portal was seen as a “test bed”. The sequel will be a fully fledged title.

* The game takes place hundreds of years after the original. Hence why the Apature centure looks a lot like a jungle possibly.

* GlaDOS returns as the main villain, with the subject from the last game, Chell, coming back to be the protagonist.

* The co-op campaign is separate from the main story in the game. It lets you play as two bipedal robots.

* Those personality cores thrown into the fire at the end of the last game? They’ve shut off areas of the Apature lab and made it their own.

* Physics has a bigger role this time, with one demo showing a portal could be used from an air vent to suck air from one area to an another.

* Reflection cubes will be added to the game for laser-based puzzles.

* Valve had no idea Portal 1 would be so big.

 

Already sounding awesome. We’re pumped. There’s some more info and scans over at PALGN.

Portal 2 delayed to 2011

 

Portal 2 has been delayed until 2011, Valve's just confirmed via another of its barmy 'Aperture Science' e-mails.

 

Valve says the rather hefty delay means it can make the sequel "even better". We still can't help but be a little disappointed.

 

Here's the mail:

 

"Aperture Science, doing business as Aperture Laboratories LLC, in partnership with Valve today announced the successful completion of an ethics-review-panel-supervised release date restructuring process. Portal 2, the sequel to the ground-breaking title that earned over 30 Game of the Year awards despite missing its original ship date, is now targeted for a 2011 release.

 

"Representatives from both companies acknowledged that public safety concerns factored into the decision. They went on to say that even though Portal 2 will arrive slightly later than planned, all life on earth won't instantaneously stop as every molecule in your body explodes at the speed of light, which is what would happen should a rip ever appear in the fabric of Valve Time."

 

"'Also, the game will be even better,' they added, missing an historic opportunity to create the first product delay press release to mention that a product is being delayed to make it worse."
