Portal Update - new achievement, Mind Screwing ahoy - Page 3

Mauve, that's just too overpowered...

*shudders with ecstasy at the possibilities*

Imagine using both the portal gun and grav gun in succession. Make a portal loop, then shoot a cinder block through it until it gets enough momentum to one-shot-kill a strider. Then move the portal exit somewhere interesting.

I like this plan. Valve should get on this.

I believe this is meant to represent Dr. Mossman's transmission that takes place at then end of Episode 2.

At 1:42 seconds, Kleiner says:
We have coordinates, blueprints, hailing frequencies. Quite ingenious of Dr. Mossman to hide it all in the carrier wave.

Which makes me believe this has just as much to do with Episode 3 as it does with Portal.

In other news, Mauve always has the best avatars. (Seriously, The Thin Man and MST3K. Who's awesome? You're awesome.)

Oh, I forgot about that! That's a good point. I HOPE THIS MEANS MORE HALF-LIFE, VALVE.

Another update today. "Added valuable asset retrieval".

Having done the Transmission Received achievement today, I found out what this second update was... have a gander at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq9oKn-SJCU if you don't want to find the change yourself.

Basically this means Portal 2 is going to be a sequel.

Portal 2 is officially announced for a holiday release this year.

Game Informer will be revealing more info in the coming weeks.

I'm still sad it's not Episode 3, but...

FUCK YEAH, PORTAL 2!

Also it seems it will have CO-OP campaign

Chell possibly returning? I guess that's what the new ending was hinting at.

Donomni · 03-05-2010, 03:41 PM

Hopefully A) this is gonna be released for consoles(I know, VALVE), or B) that my PC can handle it, like I found out it could for the first one... it's demo, at least.

Part of me is frustrated that Valve seems to be beating me to making my dream game where you run amok with weapons that bend time, space, matter, energy, gravity and your own consciousness any way you like them. Another part is pleased I won't have to make it myself.

Oh yeah, Portal 2. Sounds neat.
