You read the title right, Portal 2 has been announced as Valves next game. Unfortunately it isn't coming to the PlayStation 3 but it's however coming to PC, Xbox 360 and... Mac.
Details are fairly limited since the announcement but here's what's known thus far:
- The game takes place hundreds of years after the original. Hence why the Aperture centre 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 Aperture 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.
- The original Portal was seen as a “test bed”. The sequel will be a fully fledged title.
Are we excited? You're damn right.
