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.

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.

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.:lol:

BUMPED FOR EPIC GREAT JUSTICE!

So, Portal 2 will release in about 90 hours from the time of this post, BUT you can help release it early! Play one of the games that was in the Potato Sack (listed at the previous link) and help get Portal 2 out earlier.

There's also Has Portal 2 Launched Yet dot-com where you can look if you just want to keep track of how much people are helping.

NOW COME ON AND HELP US!
