There have been some details about Portal 2 in the form of a Voice Acting call by Valve that was picked up by Kotaku. This really makes for some interesting possibilities for the storyline and setting for Portal 2!

holy shit

Yeah, basically what I said.

you can read most of the script that was recieved here: http://www.kombo.com/article.php?artid=11223

edit: is it just me, or does Cave Johnson look a lot like Ronald Reagan?

holy shit

Plot synopsis; Ronald Reagan is turned into a robot.

Very cool stuff indeed. Of course I wouldn't expect to see a release for quite some time. This is a Valve game after all, and they won't put it out 'till it's ready (unlike other publishers who rush to release and patch it up afterwards).

I wonder what new gameplay elements they will add except of portals, because I'm sure they will.
Time rewinding, gravity manipulating, wall walking and stuff like that are already in some games.

Honestly I hope they don't add anything like that...just more story and unique puzzles. Portal is amazing because of its simplistic design yet unique application. I honestly could not have seen Portal be so big if they incorporated gravity/time manipulation.

the main thing i hope they add is water physics or something like it

and chell as an NPC

I think Portal 2 is going to get woven together with Hl2 and the Borealis.

Or maybe it won't...

I think it will. Maybe scenes like in the Portal Flash Version Mappack?

Didn't want to read. I'll be surprised.

I didn't read very far as well. Though interesting that C. Johnson is gonna play a role. You remember the easter egg?

oh yeah I forgot about that. my friend who has vave contacts (working on episode 3 not portal or TF2 unfortunatly) tipped me off the other day, there isn't much more information coming from him though, he's a pretty good employee....lets out no secrets

I rember reading that they plan to add more to portal 2 than just more portal 1, a few new gameplay mechanics that will allow for more challenging puzzles I hope

in fact i tihnk there will be alot of glitches if making outside because there have to be many objects outside picking them up and using them to glitch will prolly be possible . its sad actually. i was hoping for a multiplayer portal . ..

I just hope they support the game port-retail (new official challenges) and that there are more challenging maps in the retail project - I don't want to spend the first 12 chambers learning how to use portals.

well. if the first 12 or whatever chambers are about using portals ill play it 1 time and skip it all the next time ill play the game . thats sad cause its gonna be so awesome

I'm not posting a screenshot now because I'm lazy but if you go to check that little BTS area in test chamber 17 there are some pictures of a man (with a suite) with a companion cube in his head. Do you think that man could be Cave Johnson? Go and check it :p Those might be just some pictures about famous people or something like that but I just thought about it when I replayed the game today.
