I think this will probably be a prequel. Let me explain. The reason so many people want half life 3 is because everyone was promised one, but we never got it. The story never finished. Portal is already a complete story and as far as I can remember, all major questions have been answered. They will probably expand the lore with a prequel, and further explore the 1900's era of aperture.

Just my speculation but it could also be related to the F-Stop project, since it's supposedly "never before seen gameplay," at least according to gamesradar. For those that don't know, F-Stop is a project Valve started when initially developing Portal 2 before it evolved into its current version. In the Final Hours of Portal 2, Geoff Keighley mentioned the mechanics in F-Stop were "fun and exciting, but surely this wasn't Portal 2" and that "Valve has asked that specific details of the F-Stop mechanic not be included in this story, as it is likely to be used in a future Valve product."

I think regardless if it's portal related or not, it'd be nice to see valve making some actual games again rather than just making all their money off steam.

If the story of Aperture Science is too complete for a sequel, it would be cool to see Chell stepping outside the Aperture facility with the portal gun if they could pull that off well to have puzzles involving it outside. The overexcited child in me still wants it to link up with Half-Life and have Portal 3 end with Chell meeting Gordon where HL2: E2 ended, leading into Half-Life 3. Or Chell could get taken into a Combine facility and have a series of “test chambers” there, with new Combine puzzle elements and an escape sequence. Or imagine a co-op game with Chell and Gordon, where one has the gravity gun and actual guns (and a crowbar), and the other has a portal gun.

Thought to throw my 2 cents into the ring. Leading up to Wolpaw's interview a ton of Portal stuff got pushed out. Desk Job, Companion bundle for Switch, RTX, etc. My dad thinks that they're testing the waters to see how the starved fans react, and honestly, I think the same. Maybe I'm just a conspiracy theorisr kook DYING for a mainline Portal game, but either way I still thought to mention. More kookier than that, Wolpaw had to be pretty damn confident to say what he did in the interview. No doubt do the people working at Valve, especiallg the writers have an idea on how big of a deal the games they worked on were and how rabid the fans are. I'd imagine that you'd need to be sure or at least confident that SOMETHING might happen. I'd bring up an analogy about hungry dogs, but isn't that what we are? My grammar and wording are garbage & unnatural because I only slept for 3 hours, pls understand 😭

I feel like a Portal game would most likely be a side story in the Portal part of the HL universe as opposed to a Portal 3 starring Chell and GLaDoS, though there might be a creative way of doing a sequel that doesn't feel like "This shit again."

Agreed. Dragging Chell back into Aperture wouldn’t really make sense. Chell would either have to go back for some reason (save GLADOS …maybe?), explore the outside world (don’t know how well the portal mechanics would work outdoors) or it would have to be a some sort of prequel/spinoff with a different protagonist. It’s also entirely possible that it’s not Portal at all but something entirely new.

I know I’ve said it a million times in the reply sections of this video’s comment section (I will make this a separate comment) but a test subject we’d never seen before who has somehow escaped or something similar to that with a completely new different personality would have lots of potential.

I am, of course, not encouraging anyone to get their hopes up. With that said: just about every VR demonstration by Valve takes place in Aperture (The Lab, that old system requirement test, Hand Lab) plus the new Desk Job. Portal is the IP that has probably gotten the most consistent love. If there were any game sequel I'd suspect Valve of secretly making, it would be for Portal (not counting Half-Life 3 because that wouldn't really be secret after HL:A).

Don't forget the SteamVR tutorial!

im hoping for a portal game, but whatever it'll be im still excited cuz valve is amazing at making games when they actually do it

I hope that the puzzle creator gets expanded upon massively if they make a Portal 3.

I really doubt it's going to be something to view as "Portal 3". As it is, Portal 2 almost wasn't about portals. They already make a good game about portals, so they wanted to innovate with something new. They figured they could emphasize Aperture had other crazy experiments and anchor it around that. They're in that position again, Portal 2 is probably the peak of what "Portal" can be, and they handled that as the end of Chell's story. Valve's enthusiasm for VR makes me think they would want to still do VR, but compatible for non-VR since they just did Alyx. Kinda like what Cyan (makers of Myst) just recently did. So probably not using the player as a tool of physics. I'm expecting a title like "Fractal: Aperture Focus Testing", connection as a secondary thing, not primary connection. Also Valve passed on the opportunity to make Black Mesa their own project, remakes might not be their interest. Remaster games have largely been a great opportunity for training newer employees up to higher standards while not trying to overstaff other projects, as well as being more revenue. Valve isn't structured like that at all.

Even if it's a Portal installment, I'd bet it'll be in the same realm as Half Life: Alyx - a side story that avoids any hint of being the third in a trilogy

It is also a possiblility that is could be Arkane's Half-Life game. That was mostly a puzzle game. Though, Arkane Studios has previously stated that it had been abandoned, so it's very unlikely.

I really hope that this game is related to Doug Rattman, because we really don't know much about him and he's a really important character. Also, I also really hope that there's a Portal-themed survival game where you survive in the middle of nowhere in Michigan as Chell, because we don't know what happened when she was released.

Woo, I get to pitch my Portal 3 idea again! You play as Doug Rattmann, who survived the Lab Rat comic and now awakes in an incredibly advanced Aperture, having just been healed and fitted with tech without GLaDOS’ say. She says she’s worked things out, and Chell has left and you’re free to go as well… but how can you trust what she says, when even the writing on the walls changes when you’re not looking? So instead, you take to the unused back rooms of the facility, occasionally cutting through the main testing tracks on your way through an Aperture that’s barely recogniseable, and keeping out of GLaDOS’ sight as much as possible. The main gimmick of the game would be that instead of being limited to the usual Portal Device, you can trade yours in for new ones as you find them lying about, meaning that you can have more than one set of portals open at once. Not only that, the new Portal Devices are prototypes for different variants of portal tech. You might get a gun that shoots massive portals, square portals, emancipation portals, portals that dissolve human flesh, portals that act like a mini black hole, portals that can stick around on moving surfaces, and more.

@WalleBot

8 ай бұрын

The "Mini Black Hole" thing reminds me of Aperture's Xen Grenades from the fangame Entropy : Zero 2, where they suck in all objects around them into a teleport, and then supplies and/or aliens are teleported back from Xen. Could be an interesting puzzle mechanic minus the destruction and aliens

From what I understand, They have literally one of the best writers in the entire gaming industry at Valve and they aren't using him. For his sake I hope he got his wish and he finally gets to make his Portal sequel he has wanted. After writing Half Life and Portal that guy deserves it, if he says he has been brainstorming ideas for over a decade wanting he deserves more opportunities. I can understand from Valve's perspective the expectations must be insurmountable though. And if they do succeed in making something extremely high quality, a worthy sequel (which they care about and they likely won't show us anything until even if it takes decades) the pressure will be on all the more. Valve doesn't care about just releasing games to make a profit, they care about the long term growth of their industry.

My guess if Portal 3 actually happens: We play a new character that 100 years after portal 2 happened stumbles upon aperture. Glados was alone for a very long time and invented a lot of stuff to test but didn’t have anyone to test it with, so now you’re with a possibly broken Glados that just wants to test again.

If portal 3 comes out I will cry. I don't know why. That game was my life when I was a kid. I fucking love portal. The music alone...

I'm still skeptical, but if this is true, then I might be about to find my new favourite game of all time

If it is indeed portal 3, we will likely not play as chell, since canonically speaking it makes no sense for her to be involved in the enrichment center. After she escapes, glados launches the coop testing initiative, and eventually the robots find the vault of humans. We will likely play as one of or several of these humans that were rescued from the vault.

If Portal 3 happens, I'm going to buy it as soon as it's release.

I played a community chamber and the mechanics were something that could be in portal 3. It was a button that switched the gravity of objects like cubes and it was really fun, the chamber was “force inversion”

i would sell my soul for Portal 3, but if they do make one i really REALLY would want it to be a prequel, or maybe an AU kind of thing like Desk Job. Chell and Glados’ story really had the perfect ending in P2, and i think there a lot of new things that could be explored :)

Steam link launched somewhat recently, so valve will release the index 2 as a standalone vr headset and portal 3 will come with it. The same way they did with Half-life alyx and the index

“This was a triumph…I’m making a note here, huge success.”

Neon Prime is actually set marginally in the distant Half Life universe, rather than Dota. They're also doing some work on something called HLX, which may or may not be a sequel to HL Alyx and HL2 Episode 2, ergo being fucking *HL3* in all but name

Portal 3 being announced would break the internet

Honestly I hope it's something new. We keep asking for more portal, more half-life, more team fortress, but I think Valve can make any game great and I just want a game from them, not necessarily an extension of what we have

Like I previously wrote: a coop project with a portal gun in one hand, and the gravity gun in the other - would make a flipton of sense (and fun). The premise suits. We don't know how long Chell was in the relaxation vault, the G-Man can keep Freeman in stasis for as long as he likes, so they can easily meet at some point in the future to fight more adversaries, without breaking the continuity.

maby for portal 3 there could be a person that redescovers aperature and goes down and activates glados on accident or it could be a spin off on Rattmann

at this point I don't believe that Valve would kill the long running joke of not being capable to count to 3. Maybe this game could be about some experiment in Black Mesa, revolving around completely different puzzle mechanic than portal gun.

me when its aperture desk job 2:

It could be the return of F-stop.

I wouldn't mind Valve giving Portal the Black Mesa treatment tbh

I don't want a Portal 3. Portal is my favourite franchise, and it ended so perfectly. All loose ends wrapped up, Chell got her freedom, GLaDOS came to terms with her past and learned the value of friendship, Wheately got his comeuppance and saw the error of his ways. The story stops there. Any story for Portal 3 that brings back any of those characters would just be needlessly contrived.

i'm curious to see where they go from a plot/lore perspective, the end in Portal 2 pretty much closed very well. As far as mechanics we may see, remember when leaked possible mechanics for a Portal 3 entry years back? with that stuff of perspective and objects changing size and what not, maybe they can re-live that idea? i mean, to this day a lot of people would like to see how that would work because it seamed to be a very strange yet fun concept

Seeing as I just got portal 2 and in love with the story and all, portal 3 coming is such a surprise, and if it happens, im hyped!😊

First time a video from a channel with 62 subscribers is recommended to me.

If portal 3 comes out, I hope it has glados with arms, the core hub, and uhh… the aquarium sphere.

Please, I NEED THIS, but it’s probably just another DOTA game

hopfully we get portal 3 because i am a huge portal 2 and portal fan for about 5 years.

I hope they include lore for portal stores Mel.

Honestly I think it'll be something new, as much as i'd love a portal 3, I'm still excited for a new thing though!!!

Any new Portal content will be awesome! I love the series and it is my favorite gaming series ever! The Portal movie has never been canceled, so I am still waiting for that.

Very nice video. I would really like to see a continuation to my favorite story

If it is portal3 i kinda hope they somehow bring Wheatley into it, even if it’s a small part

i chose the perfect time for replaying portal if that is coming the atmosphere created in portal 2 alone stunned me more than most newer games were able to do so portal 3 if that might be the case will make me go buy it instant

Just hearing "portal in source 2" made me smile

had an aneurysm trying to understand what you were saying but still hype!

Valve have made some of the best games ever. I’m beyond excited to even have the possibility they are coming back it’s been years since we’ve have anything real from them

hopefully were able to portal outside :0

I hope that there is a third game and it is about Chell! I know the story is like finished but I just fucking love chell and glados and a lot of the questions that have been answered are more like the mysterious clues that are gathered and concluded in a KZread video essay titled like “finally understanding Portal” or some shit liiike I want some right in your face reveals about the company, the world outside of it, more exploration of the abandoned facility, what other living people might be around hiding in the abandoned building, and to see what Chell and glados are doing now after the portal 2 ending like- I just want more!!! I don’t care if it’s the same old same old and everyone else hates it, cuz I’ll fucking love it Or even if it is a prequel that still means we might see younger Chell(if you believe there were multiple bydtwd and that she was around for one as a child that’s why one of the potato experiments say ‘by Chell’ even tho she was an adult when the bydtwd that killed everyone happened) and then we get to see glados before mr Johnson stuffed Carolyn(is that her name?) inside

Wow, i'm surprised that i got this on my recommended, you're underrated ngl

Definitely won’t be a direct sequel but the idea of a new portal game is awesome

i will cry if it isn't portal 3

I CANT WAIT FOR PORTAL ALYX

Although I feel like Half-Life needs a sequel before Portal ever will, I love Portal way more so I HOPE WE GET SOME MORE.

if they did a portal 3, they would have to do either a prequel or something that has a new storyline in it only because portal 2 had essentially ended the storyline. If they did some twist where Cave Johnson is actually evil bc of them uploading his brain into an AI and it goes berserk on testing new products and prototypes. i think that would help mend the portal storyline for a new game but i'm not sure how that would work out

The mentioned portal 3 story in the interview got me curious, but if it's a new ip, it got me more curious.

I have a feeling that it will be a steam exclusive or it will have like some bundle with content exclusive to their own console. To advertise their console yk?

I think the next game will be a VR 'Aperture' game. I think they've reached the peak with Portal cenetered puzzles. So it makes sense to go back in time to old Aperture, and give us a puzzle mechanic that probably uses portals as a side element, but not the main element.

Honestly, I'd love to see a prequel or a side story.

how does it make sense that a vr game would make people sick if roblox vr LITERALLY has a portal remake in it.

I wonder if valve will return to some of the portal 1 beta or 2 beta gameplay if its portal or just make F-Stop in source 2

As a pessimist, I don't think they're making a portal 3; but if it's similar to portal (in terms of the puzzles and story) it will hopefully be a great game nevertheless

Dude if this actually comes out its gonna explode
