Oh no: Portal 2 delayed until 2011

Portal 2 Delayed to 2011
Valve announced today it is delaying Portal 2 into 2011.

The game was originally scheduled to ship this coming holiday on Mac, PC and Xbox 360.

No reason for the delay was given, but a note from the series' in-game research company Aperture Science noted that "even though Portal 2 will arrive slightly later than planned, all life on earth won't instantaneously stop as every molecule in your body explodes at the speed of light, which is what would happen should a rip ever appear in the fabric of Valve Time."

Valve recently announced it canceled its E3 event for Portal 2 that was supposed to take place next week. The company said it has a surprised planned for the night instead, and has clarified it is related to Portal 2, not the heavily rumored Half-Life 2: Episode Three.

This isn't brave...

... It's murder...

What...did I ever do to you (Valve)?

*Goes back to crying*

 

[xplag]

Haha this is fine by me... gives me more time to beat all of Portal 1, HL2 Ep1, Ep2, and the rest of my games.

 

[The Apeking]

Episode 3 anyone?

At least they stick to their VALVe time mantra.


I'd prefer Episode 3 or CS 2 anyway.

 

[Darth]

Were all used to Valve time by now. Expect the finale of HL in 40 years!

 

[Skattles]

Oh boy *jumps up in his chair*

 

[Simon]

*sigh*

 

[Psychosoldier9]

NOOOOOO!!!!! Not Delayed!!!

 

[Champie]

I saw that in a video on IGN just now! I about died! Now i have to calculate the seconds until it comes out again!

 

[Ducttape]

I never believe a Valve game has been released until the end credits are scrolling by on my screen...

 

[Death]

But what if they make a game that never ends, Ducttape? Also, I think I've spent more time waiting then playing

 

[taylorFrost]

I did not see this coming at all.

-snip-

I'm extremely disappointed in Valve, pretty soon they will be synonymous with 3D Realms, you never issue a press release unless its a sure thing......

UNLESS! The announcement is Half Life related. I'd put both portal games in a blender if I could get another half life fix.

It seems like that Valve wants that we are getting angry

 

[Mystery Penguin]

Yeah, because it's not like Valve has never delayed anything before...

 

[Nokx]

Valve should consider just saying "in the future", not a date.
But: They do what they must, because they can!
