Now, hoooooold your horses. You and I both know that Valve will never make a Portal 3.

# But if they did...

<What would the premise be?
<What would be the new mechanics introduced?
<~~ Would it still use port ~~ Of course it would, stupid.
<What kind of new puzzles could we get out of the new mechanics could we get out of it?
<What impact would this have on the Portal Community?

I have this vision in my mind of Aperture inventing time travel after all the humans were un-stasised, or an Aperture another 99999999999etc in the future in space, using that F-Stop Valve has kept secret like a tantalizing sundae of mystery.

Anyway, go. Just go. Stop reading this intro and post, dammit!

I have this thing where Wheatley manages to make contact with scientists that weren't at aperture on the GLaDOS activation day and they build a space station for aperture better than the earth one, and Wheatley is the central core and GLaDOS gets jealous.

On-topic, I would imagine that Portal 3 would be a prelude-type of game, not a continuation of where P2 left off. Either concerning F-Stop, or a little closer, Rattman.

Also, AntiVector, it's a shame your location was lost in translation. Would've been interesting to find out...

In my opinion at least, Chell's story is over, she's free from Aperture now. The only possible Portal game I can think of that could have potential is Rattman's story. Not sure how that would work though......

There's always room for more DLC though! But I do believe VALVe is done with that for Portal 2.

You probably knew about this already but, because nobody seems to know, here it is: TopHATTwaffle is doing that already.

Ah-HAH! I was wondering if someone would translate that!

Now, I am of the mindset that Portal works well enough on its own, and doesn't need to be connected to Half-Life more than it already is, but it would be interesting for a hypothetical Portal 3 to give us more hints about the Borealis, possibly being set in the tundra the Borealis was teleported to.

A little secret: my location is hex that literally translates out to "lost in translation," as in I'm actually lost in translation.

Perhaps it'll be released along with Episode 3, both taking place at the same time and both in the Borealis. There could be some interesting crossovers there, judging from the leaked ep3 code a while back.

Except, of course, that VALVe abandoned the episodic framework.

I dont think that there "100" will be no Portal 3.
And i dont think that "Wheatley" will come back.
I could imagine that Chells Story isnt over.

BUT: Portal 2 was also a suprise, i mean, who thought about this story while playing Portal 1 first time? Maybe Portal 3 would be also something completely new.. ^^

nuff' said.

@Tile

Are... are you saying?

Me and some other mappers have decided to make a fan made portal 3

We have not started with the map making yet but if you want to check it out

Visit our P3DEVGROUP http://steamcommunity.com/groups/P3DEVGROUP#

I've seen it. It still seems you need a lot of stuff to get going.

also, i think i found out who chell was before aperture lol...

I have an idea for a Portal 3 plot. Chell meets a man who claims to be the son of Cave Johnson who tells her that she should help him briefly with programming something, and so she agrees and then the guy programs Chell's personality and essence into a core. Unfortunately, this also kills her, but she lives on in the core, called Pinney (I might need to work on the name). This core has Chell's personality, but, unlike Chell, it can talk. He takes the core back to Aperture, and Pinney, with no memory of her previous life as Chell works with GLaDOS to keep Aperture running in it's current mode and then several hundred years later...

A new guy, Flynn, comes to Aperture with no idea it is there. He's a developer who intends on building some underground homes there for people to live in, since above ground is pretty much all smogged up and uninhabitable. Then he finds Aperture and GLaDOS makes him a test subject. The sight of Chell's records which Flynn is carrying with him makes Pinney remember her life as Chell, and she tells Flynn about it and says he must destroy Aperture. So... more later, but basically the story of the game involves Flynn defeating GLaDOS so he can get rid of this terrible and beautiful place once and for all.

May need some improvement.

I'm a fan of the Portal 3/HL3 crossover idea, but neither is likely to be released, let alone together.

I bet there are going to be references to aperture in HL3 (afterall the borealis) but direct references and crossovers are not going to happen.

Did I mention I can;t wait for HL3?

I wouldn't say there won't be any direct references, but I highly doubt there will be a crossover and I'm not a fan of the idea since both franchises are so different.

Like how in the underground act, Cave Johnson references Black Mesa several times, and they aren't easter egg lines. It would be fun to see some direct Aperture references in HL3 (and I don't really think HL3 will ever happen, but the likelihood of it is much higher than a Portal 3 in my opinion.)

Portal 2 was released about four years after the first one. The teaser trailer was released the year before Portal 2 was released. I would imagine that Portal 3 (if there is going to be one) would be released sometime in 2015, about four years after the second one was released. The trailer, then, would be seen sometime next year.

I hate it when people are using Portal 2 visuals to make Portal 3. It has to be something unique with new cube models and buttons and textures and stuff. But Valve already mentioned that they're not making Portal 3 because of the press saying "Valve finally learns to count to 3".
