Portal 2 Revealed

Valve has officially announced Portal 2. It will be coming out this holiday season.

The next issue of Game Informer magazine will feature an in-depth story on eagerly awaited sequel Portal 2, and the cover features the screenshots you see above. Gaze in wide-eyed wonder at the blue and orange portal beauty!

Unlike Portal, Portal 2 is a full-fledged, standalone sequel that will feature "new gameplay mechanics, storyline, and some surprising new twists."

Right now, that and some ASCII images from an awesome scavenger hunt is all the Portal 2 news we have, but the full-scale announcement is expected at GDC 2010, so watch G4's GDC headquarters next week for news.

What do you think of Portal as a "full scale" game? Will the puzzle mechanics of the first game be enough to keep your interest, or will Portal 2 need to change things up? Maybe with some actual combat? I hope not, because I love the purity of the first title, but I'm open to anything -- Valve is very good at making great games!

    Portal was a great game and ithought it should be a stand alone title. I think i could invest 10 hours into a story line it is not a 20 hour game but 10 will work. And of course DLC will come out for it, what game these days don't have it?

    Hopefully they'll stop using that dated engine and make something new. And no, the same puzzle mechanic is not enough to keep me interested for a 20 hour game. But it's not a 20 hour game we're talking about, it's probably going to be 4-hours tops like the first game. This should really be an expansion and not a full game. Just like L4D2.

    Finally some Valve news. It may not be Half Life ep. 3, but nothing can top this for me!

    PREDICTION: There'll be combat, but it'll be based entirely on using portals and turrets.

    Awesome! One of my favorite puzzle/FPS games of all time. Will there be cake?
