[Fact]

even though it gave nothing but the title, it makes me want to buy seventeen copies when it comes out.

@ below yea i hope the maps are harder too also that the whole of the game lasts alot longer .

Hmm, not sure how I feel about that. Portal was a masterpiece of a short film. Not sure how I'll feel about the sequel, but it is Valve.

I just didn't think there was anything more to add to the first one, with the exception of more challenge maps...but again, it is Valve. They'll probably churn out something great.

I'm not smart enough; what's with the various underlined letters in the announcement?

Yeah, I saw that too and was hoping that the hive mind of the internet could churn out something.

Has pics of an April magazine cover hinting at a Half-Life & Portal meet-up as well as explanation of the underlined letters. I think the underlined letters take you to two screenshots of hinting Portal as co-op and another misc. screenshot.

Co-Op Portal? Hm... I'll be walking towards some tasty cake when suddenly one of my "partners" places a portal underneath my feet.

Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Portal has a really deep story that they are going to expand on a ton in Portal 2. There is so many questions Portal brought up. There is a TON of stuff they can add, and it all relates to the half life universe. It could probably be a 10+ hour game. It all ties in, things with the Borealis etc.

Just watching the new ending they added to Portal already shows how the game is going to expand.

Looking forward to what they do with Portal 2, and if it will tie in with HL:EP3 at all...

At the end of EP2, aren't you getting a chopper and heading for Aperture Science? Any chance Portal 2 is actually HL:EP3 prelude? o.0

Coming this holiday. Portal 2 is the sequel to 2007's Game of the Year and draws from the award-winning formula of innovative game play, story, and music that earned the original over 70 industry accolades. Features single and multiplayer co-op modes. The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game. The game’s two-player cooperative mode features its own entirely separate campaign with a unique story, test chambers, and two new player characters. This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals. Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively.

Looks like gamestop edited their post to remove the bold text though.

They never announced it, they just talked about it.

Considering on STEAM they announced portal 2 to be coming out..(http://store.steampowered.com/news/3559/) CS 2 they never announced on any website, or any offical source from Valve.

 

[Spitfire'd]

I'm already impressed with the new "radio challenges" they added to the first Portal. If its any hint of what they can do with the second one it will be worth waiting for!

Spoiler

In Hl:EP2, a couple minutes after you launch the rocket, an adviser comes and slaughters Alex's dad. About to eat alex and freeman , dog came in and scared them away....cliffhanger.....
