If there is to be a Portal 3, what do you think it would be like/what do you want to see?

I think it would be awesome if Glados changed her mind or something, and the ground opens up and we have an above ground portal game. Or even maybe Glados is completely out and Chell has to portal her way through an overgrown post apocalyptic city or something. I sort of just started this thread on a whim, so I don't have much else to say at the moment.

I would rather see chell gone and keep glados, maybe she starts expanding facilities above ground? possibly other human interaction?

overall, i dunno, the first 2 have been legendary!!!

Freeman
I want to see them kick some ass.

lolol, he is awesome, still need to beat the 2nd expansion though...

Wut

Freeman from Half life series, half life and portal take place in the same universe. proof of this is when glados talks about black mesa in the "still alive" song

The thing with Portal 2 is that its supposed to be 999,999 years after the first Portal.

However the Portal 2 solo and coop campaigns need to be put into a timeline. I think that the solo comes before the actual coop campaign and at the end of the coop they . So Glados will probably be there and Chell may not.

i got the sense that it was a hundred or 200 years after the first one, because after a million years, everything would be gone because a million years is such a long time that the place would be completely unrecognizeable and most likely caved in, and filled with dirt because when the plants that were down there die, after a while make layers of soil and the entire place would be filled with dirt after a million years.

I'd like to see a longer game.

When you're woken up the announcing machine says that you were asleep for 50 days at first and then you go back to bed. When you wake up it says that you were asleep for 'nine, nine, nine, nine...' and keeps repeating it until its done(wheatley speaks over it). If its assumed to be days then it would add up to 50 nines being said. So that adds up to 274,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.

i think that the 9 repeating is just the system freaking out and stuck in a loop, but if this is correct then, k, thats alot of years! but im still in computer error camp

Yeah but where did you get 50 nines? lol The universe as we know it would be gone by then.

Don't know, its stops on its own if I recall. Either that or 247 years at minimum.

If you play the campaign and listen to Cave Johnson he mentions Black Mesa as well and you find out about Glados's origins.

which is why i was doubting that it is that far...isnt the sun supposed to go out in about 10 billion years or something like that?

fixed. I worked with astronomy.

oh, i was wrong...by alot, lol

Don't know, its a game world where goo made from moon dust can speed people up, make them bounce, or just make portal surfaces. Aperture Science also developed the reverse-heimlich maneuver and lead curtains so...

Fixed to actually work.

The lifespan of a star the size of our sun is around 10 billion years and the earth is between 4 and 5 billion years old so we have approximately 5 or 6 billion years left.

Are you forgetting that this is a game based on science that shouldn't work but does anyway? The sun will die in 100e^100 years.

Nah, I just don't like people coming in and putting people down when they are wrong themselves.

Cake.

Space. Space. SPAAAAAAAAAAACE.

The end of Portal 2 first, for me.

I'd rather have valve make something new. Portal is fun and good, but look at Half 2, how long have we been waiting for episode 3?

If there is one thing I don't trust valve with, it's sequels.

I'm assuming some sort of connection between HL and Portal.

Nothing. I do not want Portal 3 to happen.

Considering that the Universe is 14 Billion or so years old and we can already observe dead stars, I wouldn't say that telling someone that the life span of a star is 290 Billion years is even wrong. That goes directly into "lolwhut" territory.

Especially for someone who "worked with astronomy" whatever that means.

On topic, I haven't even played the second one yet. Honestly, my favorite part of the first one was "Still Alive."
