Portal 3 in development

It's true.

As the scene faded from black, I found myself in a very familiar environment. I could feel myself smiling, grinning from ear to ear. I couldn't help myself. I was in an Aperture Science testing facility. Yes, I was inside the world of Portal.

Vive, which is in its development stage, is essentially an immersive VR goggle set that ascertains your position using pulsing laser lights. Sensors on the mask triangulate your height and X/Y/Z coordinates based on the position of the lasers and the hand controllers look like a more stylized Wiimote but turn into futuristic ray gun like appendages (or even cartoon hands) in the game. The entire rig ran off of a stock but powerful gaming PC that pumped out the various demos including an undersea adventure complete with whale, a cooking test that looked like a Nintendo game, and a sneak preview of a new Portal game that was so immersive that you get chills when a massive GlaDOS unfurls like a malevolent umbrella.

The content made the demo and Valve’s games were, in a word, amazing. They were funny, fun, and perfectly calibrated to excite the senses and incite wonder. It was interactive umami – the hardware, the software, the graphics, and the writing were all mixed together to create something that I have never seen.

about damn time.

Sounds like a tech demo

Cool! I think we all knew that HL3 would not be the game to come with Source 2. Portal would be my favorite of the two alternatives (Left 4 dead or Portal).

Hope it's as good as Portal 2.

With every source engine (all 1 of them), it's become traditional to use a launch title to demonstrate the incredible power Valve spray.

Also a steamOS sale. On steam.

PC Exclusive. Nothing but the best platform for Valve.

OH **** YEAH

hyped.

But they can't count to 3....

That would be great if true. :D

Won't believe anything until officially announced.

Meh, new L4D or bust.

this is my current stance with Valve

Can't be true. The number 3 is considered bad luck at Valve, and is avoided at all cost.

Don't think Portal needs a new game but **** YEAH

Rumors are currently swirling that both Halflife 3 and Portal 3 will be announced.

@uninspiredcup: I dont know how I would feel about a new Portal game. Portal 2 is a masterpiece and Id hate to see it tarnished by a weak sequel.

@intotheminx: Portal 1 was a masterpiece as well. Portal 2 was able to build on that. Portal 3 with a new source engine sounds amazing.

Day 0.

im sure people wanted to see that 3 attached to another name.

Not sure I'd call Portal 2 a masterpiece. Valve have yet to make a bad game: but Portal 2 is one of their weaker ones.

- FMV sequences pulling the player out the game

- Incredibly linear opening (literally walk along a 3 foot wide path), all Valve single player titles tend to have a slow paced opening, but none as linear as this shit

- Call Of Duty style scripted ending

- Please do not turn off you console (bug code obv) (obv)... (obv)

- uninteractive source engine, features multiple static objects

False alarm. No Portal 3.

This man lied: and should be fired. He didn't just embarrass his website, he embarrassed me and everyone who had faith in him.

I don't think we'll hear about another Valve title for a long time.

It's crazy how many false threads are floating around here. Mods, assemble!

@uninspiredcup: Portal 2 is a masterpiece. you opinion is wrong.

Yeah, we'll see about that. But I think it's a great candidate property to explore and refine VR, albeit I know it's going to cause widespread vertigo and sickness among its players.

Just like you embarrass every poster here.

I for one, am not excited for Portal 3. This only further proves that Valve is afraid of their own Half-Life legacy. I think we can all agree that the gaming community in general, doesn't judge Portal games with the same standard as they would Half-Life games. Valve knows this. And for years on end, they have resorted to making games that are not held at the same standard as Half Life. Case in point, L4D, Portal, Team Fortress, Dota 2 etc.

Valve is now so afraid of scrutiny and refuse to challenge themselves to make actual AAA games. That's the reason why we haven't seen Half Life 3....or even Half Life 2 episode 3. For every Portal or L4D game that comes out, I see it as a degradation of Valve. A degradation into a service based company, more interested in servicing the welfare of gamers and fans (not a bad thing), instead of actually trying to raise the bar in game development.

And this is actually a vicious cycle. The longer they hold off on Half Life 3, the more it will have the Duke Nukem Forever syndrome, whereby all the years of anticipation and hype cannot possibly be met no matter how good the game is. And as such, Valve, being smarter than 3D Realms, will avoid developing it even more. And we will never get a Half Life 3

Steambox exclusive.

Yep, tech demo, still the idea of a new Portal game with this new VR thing definitely sounds amazing, i Actually got goosebumps at thinking about watching Glados in all its glory.

I have no beef with this, Valve has made more interesting games away from Half Life.
