Portal 2 speculation...

NSFW Warning!

Not quite, but getting there :retard:

/NSFW Warning!

Now I’m thinking the first Portal must have taken place just hours/days after the resonance cascade from HL1. Here’s why:

  1. No aliens in the Aperture labs. Didn’t the portal storms flood the entire planet with Xen aliens prior to the combine showing up?

  2. Could explain why GLaDOS didn’t know what was “going on up there”. GLaDOS is pretty damn smart, and she knows way more about portals than the guys at Black Mesa did. Maybe she just hadn’t had time to piece together what happened.

  3. Could explain why Aperture is deserted. All the scientists decided to get the hell out of dodge, or maybe evacuate to the borealis.

  4. Convenient for Valve. The GI article said they were hesitant to link up the two games too much because of the different tones–light-hearted vs. serious. Having the Portal games take place completely outside the HL2 storyline would be a clean way to separate them, while still having them take place in the same universe.

I do, I didn’t know they were going for a completely different style. :slight_smile:

Lovin’ it. I like the idea of a partly outdoorsry + destroyed facility

What rock have you been living under as you still don’t know in this past week that THERE WILL BE PORTAL 2?

I hope there isn’t a musical outro again- I really doubt anything could be comparable to Still Alive. I’d prefer conventional credits.

I hope there isn’t any more air or water on our planet tomorrow, nothing could possibly beat my experience of breathing air and drinking water in the past. I’d prefer death.

That’s a perfectly sensible analogy. :3

Hehehe, Hoopy the Hoop.

I feel bad for not noticing it now.

I see you cana read from those scans that have been posted 5 times :3

Yes. yes I can.

For the lazy people who can’t be bothered to read the scans posted 5 times.

Awesome.
But people should read the scans that were posted 5 times.

Six.

Ride of never end.

Om nom nom nom.

:fffuuu:

What? He is tasty.

And here I thought that cannibalism related to games will only exist in Fallout 3. :fffuuu:

What ever happened to that “3.11” speculation thing? Was that proven to be made up?

The thing Gabe is going to speak at starts in about 2 and a half hours. So it’s not made up, yet.

How dare you even joke about 3… oh sorry, I thought you said… forget it. :stuck_out_tongue:

I think that people are just not too confident about the meaning of it all. Here is a link to the awards https://gdc.gamespot.com/live.html if you are inerested

I highly doubt there will be any information or hints given so i wont waste my time…or will i :fffuuu:
