    You guys remember Portal, right?
    It was that portal-shooting puzzle game with an amazing story, lovable characters, brain-teasing test chambers, plentiful cake and combustible lemon jokes, and let's not forget that adorable little pink Companion Cube. :D

    Well, it's almost time to wield the Portal Gun once more.

    That's right. There's a NEW Portal game in development.

    ...but no, it's not Portal 3.
    ...It's not F-Stop either.
    It's Portal 1.5: a sequel to Portal, but a prequel to Portal 2.
    But it's not called Portal 1.5. That would sound stupid.

    It's Portal: Conversion, and it's just recently been Greenlit on Steam.

    It's being developed by Hidden Valley, but it is being published by VALVe and most likely going to be made under their watch. Wheatley will make his return (or rather, his INTRODUCTION, as this is a prequel to Portal 2) along with other characters. Even a new main character that hasn't been described in detail yet (Chell's alarm clock isn't working :P ).

    The game is scheduled for a release some time around 2015, but there should be a demo released some time in the next few months.

    This is really happening. And I am more excited than I've ever been.:D

    Finally, here's a teaser trailer, and a link to Steam for more info, and those of you who still suspect this is fake:

    Link to Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=188186007

    Teaser Trailer: (This is also embedded on the Greenlight page, but the video player on Steam is terrible so here it is anyways :P )

    I will post more info as more is revealed.
    In the meantime, I'm gonna go play through both games again. :D

    Half-Life 3 will be released "when it's ready".
    This will be released in 2015.
    Considering HL3 is still in Development Hell, (somebody count how many times I've said "Development"...) and has been for almost 10 years now.
    I'd say we look forward to this before HL3. This is most likely going to come out sooner.

    I do love Half-Life though... :/

    Remember, Mr. Steven Moffat is in charge of Valve, expect the worst.

    Crap, that's Doctor Who...

    I've never played a single Valve game in my life...

    You can't make a sequel to a sandbox mod with no story and no actual directive. It's just "Do whatever the hell you want."

    If you thought the Companion Cube was adorable, watch this lovely game theory:

    Thats the exact reason why it would be great! Like an updated version with more vanilla features!

    Don't get me wrong, I'd love it, but people would complain that it could've been an update and the VALVe is just money hungry. The solution? NEW ENGINE. HL2 engine is so shifty. I hate it.

    Actually, it looks like it's a mod for Portal 2, just the size of a new game.

    They say it's being developed as a mod, but I think it has the potential to still be it's own game. It has it's own unique plot and a lot of new features. I'm sure VALVe will have a say in it's creation. Just the fact that it's been Greenlit shows that VALVe has some input along the line. :P
    Besides, Gmod started out as a mod, but look where it is now!

    (Thank you for bringing us back on topic, by the way. :) )
