...but is Portal one of them? Back when it came out I thought it was totally sweet, but I’m not sure if I want a second one, it might ruin the magic...I don’t know, I’ll buy it, but probably only because the following information looks totally awesome.
It looks as though the second hit in the Portal series (I feel bad calling it a “series”…) could quite possibly be a prequel, focusing on life at Aperture Science back when founder of the company, Cave Johnson was “still alive” see what I did there! What am I doing? Anyways, so supposedly, P2 will occur in the years before GlaDOS and therefore instead of her shouting at you through your speakers, it will be Cave Johnson who has been poured into a PC and is having doubts about the whole thing.
From what I can gather, you’ll play as a new test subject for the company which could possibly give the game a whole different change of pace, although, looking at a small snippet of the script over at Kotaku ("I been thinkin," the script reads, "Heck, suspended as I am in this inky purgatorium, I got nothin' to do but think. What if them engineers didn't do me no favors pourin' me into a computer? What if they denied me my final reward?") It appears as though the same sense of humour will be in place, which was, as we’ll all agree, was one of the most fantastic things about the original Portal game. In all honesty, I haven’t got a problem with the dudes over at Valve creating a second Portal game, what I wouldn’t like is if they decided to go all multiplayer on its ass because just doesn’t seem right to me. Portal’s a single player experience, and that’s firmly where it should stay.
