GDC08: Portal designer talks "Portal 2"

Posted Feb 21st 2008 10:00PM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: Rumors

In a GDC interview with X-Play, Portal lead designer Kim Swift has seemingly confirmed the existence of Portal 2. Now, this isn't exactly shocking, as only weeks ago Valve's Doug Lombardi stated that "more Portal" was definitely on the way, though he did not confirm exactly what shape it would take. This led to speculation that it could either be downloadable content for the game or a full blown sequel. There is a wrinkle worth mentioning though, as Swift's "confirmation" was derived from the statement, "I believe Doug Lombardi, who's our lead marketing director at Valve, has announced Portal 2." And therein, dear readers, lies the rub. Was she referring to Doug's "more Portal" comment or something else? Given that Swift is the lead designer of the original game, and Lombardi's previous quotes noted that upcoming Portal-related content would be more than just "a bunch of new puzzles," we'd say Portal 2 is all but assured at this point.

Portal 2: is it actually a good idea?

Posted Jan 10th 2008 3:15PM by Richard Mitchell

MTV's Multiplayer poses an interesting question: does Portal need a sequel? Hailed by many as one of the best games of 2007, and hailed by some as the best game of 2007, Portal represented a truly unique and engaging experience rarely seen in the video game industry. As Multiplayer puts it, the game was satisfying; it didn't leave you wanting more. Of course, we all know that one-off gaming creations are less than common in video games, as the ultimate goal of publishers and developers is to create a game that can be turned into a successful franchise. The question is not whether or not Portal will receive a sequel, but if it should.

Our answer: yes. Because GLaDOS is still alive, and she's got to go. But what do you think? That's what we want to know. As such, we've drummed up a poll asking that very questions. Submit your answer below and tell us why you picked it in the comments.
