Portal 2 Discussion

Going to quickly throw this out here, but Portal 2 has just been given a release date. According to Gamespot, Valve announced at Gamescom that Portal 2 will be released on February 9, 2011.

In addition, Stephen Merchant (cowriter of "The Office;" the British version to be exact) will be voicing one of the new characters.

Check out the article here , but be warned: there's some spoilers about the first game in the article.

So HE'S that little robot dude. I thought it was Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw doing the voice for it.

A lot of folks were actually placing money on him... Valve said though that whatever voice clips we heard so far, were done by another voice actor. So I suppose all dialogue and soundclips are being kept under wraps as well?

In case you didn't know, GameTrailers TV will have the latest information about Portal 2 (including brand new footage) and Left 4 Dead in their episode tonight. What "tonight" translates to for other timezones, I have no idea is a little over 3 hours from now (one-thirty UK time).

EDIT: The episode is now up and contains a lot of exclusive information not previously seen, among which a sneak preview at P22P's campaign and anither sneak at Left 4 Dead's digital comic that's coming out.

lol at the Heavy

In regards to the GameTrailers TV, I went ahead and watched it on TV and then again online. Anyways, did anyone notice that during the Portal 2 segments, they said that Steam would come to the PS3? Not specifying Steamworks? Was this a slip-up or are they considering bringing the full Steam to the PS3? I mean, they also said that they would set up PS3 and PC multiplayer compatability if given the chance...

I somehow doubt this, but it might work for a puzzle co-op like this because it's not a competitive game like Halo or TF2.

Anyway, Valve was also present at PAX and they showed some new screenshots as well as some demonstrations of Portal 2's co-op campaign.

I am SO loving the gestures.
