Wait, he said that its going to be the best ever? Now it's jinxed. The whole thing is going to fail miserably. Of course I already knew that. A short overrated puzzle game transformed into a full length game, separated from the rosy glasses of the internet, and hyped to hell will inevitable let people down. Then there will be an over-reactive backlash. Man, this is going to be good *gets out popcorn*.

Hmm... before I read the details [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/98925-Portal-2-Details-Leaked] I thought it was going to be some kinda of L4D/TF2/Portal abomination... with Freeman making a cameo.
What's so bad about that?
Freeman beating the crap out of a Tank while tranversing through portals.

Seems like fun, until a massive quantun collapse.

I can't wait until they start putting up ads saying "GLaDOS is about to make you her *****."

Portal 2's level of entertainment value will be directly correlated to it's level of innovation.

Fucking Valve, we love and hate you simultaneously.
We love because you make good games, we hate because of the wait
And the crazy ARG's that make you lose a week of your life figuring out what the fuck is going on.

Given that valves last good game was portal there shouldn't be an issue. It's not competing with things like the mediocre Half Life 2, the unplayable Team Fortress 2, or (at least based on the demo) the bland Left 4 Dead. Instead it's competing with the absolutely mind-blowingly good Portal. That's a hell of a high bar they have to beat.

Now that they said it, they have put themselves in a very difficult position. If this game is nothing but perfection, anything that won't make Portal look like E.T., something that will make Yazthee scream in frustration for being unable to find something wrong with it, Valve will lose all it's respect. People will never look at them as the golden example that they were, but another E.A.

Gabe, if your reading this, make sure Portal 2 is the greatest game ever. If you don't, you, Valve, and anybody related to it, will lose EVERYTHING. You have chosen this path, there is no turning back, and you better make sure you keep your word. We are watching you Valve, you better provide.

They listened to what the fans liked?

It's going to be full of Weighted Companion Cubes and cake jokes. Calling it now.
Actually, they're planning on phasing out the cake and the possibility of it really being a lie.
They said in a magazine blurb that they didn't want to beat a dead horse and milk a meme from the first game in order to make money.

I wonder if they'll switch away from an extremely dated source engine yet.
What's wrong with the source engine? It's not like they haven't been constantly updating it since half life 2 came out.

I like it because it gets decent frame rates on virtually any computer, while still looking great. I don't think it looks dated at all. It may not be as great as MW2's graphics, but at least everyone who owns a PC can run it.

Half Life 2 looks a little date, but I have to say I was pretty impressed for the graphics in Left 4 dead 1 and 2. I think they should keep using the source engine. It works well and they know how to use it to it's full potential.

So I went frome excited for Portal 2 to cautious of it. Valve has a tendency to be so completely full of bullshit when they say "This game is turning out great so far!"

Yeah, all those people playing L4D2 like they did L4D1, yeah? Oh... yeah... that wonderful amazing game that got pimped out didn't get played as much. Weird.
