Portal 2: GLADOS still alive

E3 press conference always have been full of big announcements, this year wasn’t different after all. But perhaps valve manage to stunt everybody this year by announcing Portal 2(Dubbed as Still Alive) initially for PlayStation 3. Traditionally Valve games have only appeared on PC and the Xbox 360, with the exception of a Half-Life PS2 port. Well there is first time for everything isn’t it :)

Valve’s co-founder Gabe Newell –

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

Short and to the point announcement with a taste of in-game footage capping off the presentation- just the way it should be. Well PC fans don’t be so sad that Valve denied you pleasure of meeting GLADOS, the sentient computer running lab Aperture Science again. Portal 2 on the PS3 could well be cross-compatible with the PC version. Valve developers are working on it, according to Valve developer Erik Johnson. But for 360 users, there seems slight hope seeing GLADOS again.

Portal one didn’t end well for GLADOS, as we all the Portal minions know of it. She ends up dead at the hands of her test subject, Chell. On Portal 2 player will get back to completely destroyed Aperture. As you can guess GLADOS will somehow relive and will rebuild the Aperture, her nemesis Chell will also return to give us another showdown. Both the game and lab will enjoy some fresh features and changes, yet Portal 2 expected to retain the personality and clever writing that made Portal 1 so popular. We expected to see some serious extended game play with this one, well not before 2011 when it’s set to be released.
