E3 2010: What was missing

Posted by Herman S. Lilleng On June - 20 - 2010

The E3 Expo is over for this year, and we learned a ton of new stuff. We know the name and games for Microsoft’s Kinect, we know what the new Zelda title is, we know what David Jaffe has been working on, and that there’s a new Rayman title in the works. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! However, there were some things gamers were expecting to see, but that never appeared. Here’s a rundown of things that were MIA.

Portal 2 coming to PS3

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On June - 15 - 2010

Portal 2 has officially been announced for the PlayStation 3. This announcement came courtesy of a very nervous looking Gabe Newell during Sony’s E3 press conference.

“PlayStation 3 is the most open platform of all the current generation consoles and has worked extremely hard to make the platform the most desirable for consumers and developers.

As such, we are delighted to announce Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3 and believe the Steamworks support included will make it the best console version of the game,” Newell stated in a press release.

A quick launch trailer was also shown, which you can find below. It looks like the player and GLAdOS will be teaming up to fight whatever’s taken over the Aperture Science facility.

Portal 2 delayed, Valve’s surprise will be “Portal 2 themed”

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On June - 9 - 2010

Fook me, that was fast. Valve confirmed today that their upcoming E3 surprise will be “Portal 2 themed”, which means we can all stop wondering.

This confirmation came at the same time as a presser revealed that the game would be delayed. How sad. The reason? The same as always, to make the game better.

“Representatives from both companies acknowledged that public safety concerns factored into the decision. They went on to say that even though Portal 2 will arrive slightly later than planned, all life on earth won’t instantaneously stop as every molecule in your body explodes at the speed of light, which is what would happen should a rip ever appear in the fabric of Valve Time.

“Also, the game will be even better.

“To ask questions about how close we all came to dying, or to ask futile questions about the previously announced E3 ***PORTAL-2-THEMED-FOR-GOD’S SAKE*** surprise…”

That’s it! Hopefully a trailer or a level will be revealed at E3.

Gabe Newell: Half Life 2: Episode 3 isn’t Valve’s E3 surprise

Posted by Jens Erik Vaaler On June - 7 - 2010

While we all love Valve, the games they make, and the things they add to said games, we’re still waiting for them to wrap up the Half-Life series. And another nail in Half-Life 2: Episode 3′s coffin has just been pounded in.

After Valve’s E3 event was canceled last week, speculation began on what Valve’s “surprise” might be. But according to fansite Halflife2.net, Valve boss Gabe Newell sent out a PM to a staff writer to simply say “it isn’t Ep 3″.

There was also a supposed teaser image leaked online last week, which Newell quickly stamped as “fake“. Speculation may continue on what the surprise might be.

My guess is a full on Half-Life 3, since the end of the saga has to be so epic it can’t be contained in a single episodic video game.

Valve cancels E3 Portal 2 reveal in unique fashion

Posted by Herman S. Lilleng On June - 2 - 2010

At least when Valve brings sad news, they do it in style. Read the fantastic press release after the break.

Now you’re thinking with 1.5 million Portals!

Posted by Joe Pomerening On May - 20 - 2010

Several days ago, we reported that Portal is now available on Steam for free, in celebration of Valve’s successful port of the game (as well as many others) to the Mac platform.

Turns out that news travels fast on this new, exciting platform called the “internet”, and since the game was released for free, it has been downloaded over 1.5 million times.
