Video Friday: Portal 2 Officially Confirmed

Author: SmellyGeekBoy | Date: February 22, 2008

And there we have it. Kimberley Swift, lead designer for Portal, has confirmed that there will indeed be a Portal 2. I guess that means that we’re talking about a standalone game here, possibly a full-length proper retail release, so I hope that it doesn’t lose any of the quirky charm of the original.

Now word yet on the story, what platform it’ll be released on, or in fact anything at all.

I’m still “making a note here” though - huge success.

This is good news!

Additionally, the interviewer is quite lovely and I am particularly fond of her fake laugh on about 56 seconds.

It is indeed good news. I was a little worried at first that they might go and fluff it all up and tarnish our lovely Portal memories - but then I remembered that at one point, people were saying exactly the same thing about Half-Life.

As it happens, they didn’t have anything to worry about - HL2 turned out to be one of the best shooters ever made!
