Just imagine the Portal gun against live enemies - the possibilities are endless. Oh... and it would be sweet to have the story converge with the Half-Life series and have some cross-game coop.

( + Half-Life coop ) one player: gravity gun, the other: portal gun. Mix in tons of enemies...

Definitely a good idea... its a great game.

No. They should just release DLC level packs. Then stick the portal gun in HL3, maybe grenade launcher style so you don't have to switch weapons. The only problem with the portal gun is that the levels have to be sort of designed to work well with it, and that might make HL3 seem a bit "fake" in layout.

Yes! Let us eat cake!!

As far as the story goes, it would make most sense to either make the sequel begin exactly where Portal leaves off, or a prequel.

Adding new content and maps would, although not a huge deal, not jive with the original, because there were a certain number of actual levels that were numbered. How would they explain just adding more maps? It is a severely nitpicky point, but it makes the idea of simply additional maps seem forced.

Or, at the very least, give the portal gun to Gordon in Episode 3.

Of course there should be a sequel. No question.

My question is what does MTV know about video games? Aren't they too busy creating fake shows like the Hills and Laguna Beach to worry about games?

i say yes. and make good and make it quick!

it doesn't need one, it will be blended into the main half- life game

Doing more test chambers is out of the question, and I doubt Valve would take you from the isolated environment of Aperture Science and dump you right into armed combat with the Portal gun. Portal is at its heart a puzzle game, and you can't just change it to a shooter and call it the same thing. But moving it into the "real world" seems like the next step. Anyone who's seen this video should realize how crazy/cool it could be:

Oh well, we should all just be happy that Valve is in charge of this decision. I have faith they'll do it right.

No, no, no... I say sure to a second Portal game, but they should make it a prequel. Perhaps even including the former 'slave' to Aperture.

It's evident the entire facility went a little weird after the initial person's presence as it's completely empty bar GLADOS 'herself' so why not be the one who leaves the messages (it would also fit into the feel not to have a great winning ending too.)

The real question: How can Portal 2 actually be a bad idea?

Portal is proof that video games are a true modern art form. Here is a game whose story seams are so well disguised that as players we forget we are playing.

Why would you want a sequel? To follow this argument through, I would have to reveal Portal's plot, but I will say that the game is absolutely a complete experience that should be enjoyed on its own terms and dwelled upon like a good meal. People talk about extra levels in the form of downloadable content. What a mistake that would be. The puzzles, the level design - they were a means to an end. The physics were delightful and I was pleased when I got the long jump achievement, but please leave Portal alone. It was perfect.

Quite simply, it needs a sequel because I wasn't anywhere near bored of the it when it ended. In fact, the puzzles only got *really* interesting towards the end.
