Damn it Valve.Dear Subject Name Here,
Aperture Science is pleased to inform you that we have partnered with Valve to announce the gala CANCELLATION of the June 14 Portal 2 event at the Regal Theater. The event will be replaced by a surprise. And even though the cancellation of the event certainly counts as a surprise, we are pleased to further announce that the cancellation of the event is not THE surprise. However, per International treaties regarding the definition of the word "surprise", of which both Aperture Science and Valve are signatories, the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise.
If you'd like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise or, more fruitfully, schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve's Special Envoy to Surprises, Doug Lombardi.
Thank you for [RECORD SCRATCH!!!]
PS: The surprising record scratch is also not the surprise.
Sounds like they were planning it all along... I doubt this is a real "cancellation", looks more like typical valve marketing....henno13 wrote:

If I were you I wouldn't get your hopes up for Episode 3.
Sounds like it's a surprise that's Portal 2 related judging by that sentence.If you'd like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise
My guess for EP3 is that it's going to be renamed HL3 and released in 2012.
Surprise! Portal 2 coming to the PS3.
This news was well worth the wait...
Also steamworks support.

I thought Valve hated the PS3 and said they'd never support it?
After microsoft demanding valve start charging for their updates I think gaben isnt too happy with them anymore
Great, now I have a back up if I don't have a good PC whenever it comes out.
A cockney male version of Glados?
It's one of the personality orbs Apature was working on...DefCon-17 wrote:

Holy shit, more awesome. That orange acceleration stuff (forgot the name already) looks like fun.
Also, it looks like this could get really really tricky to complete.

I wonder how long this story's gonna be? Hopefully at least twice as long as the first.

I throught they said this would be a "full game" where portal 1 was a "demo/test"

I R SO CONFUSSSSSSED
no but seriously, it's going to be easy,
portal 1 looked fucking hard (don't sexualise this) in the demo vids, this one looks hard too.
