Lombardi Interview - Portal and Orange Box 2?

[Munro]

Eurogamer have sat down with Valve marketing director Doug Lombardi to talk
about things. Things like Portal, and whether we'll see an Orange Box 2. Things
that you can read in the interview
here.

Eurogamer: You
obviously can't do The Orange Box 2...[br]
Doug Lombardi:
[Laughs][br]
Eurogamer:
Presumably you'll just release Episode Three as a single standalone product this
time?[br]
Doug Lombardi:
We'll see, we'll see. The idea of doing The Orange Box 2 seems kind of
contrived. It happened the first time because the three [games] were on a
collision course and a bunch of us were sitting around going "this could be a
nightmare", and somebody kicked around the idea of putting them together.

What they really need to do with a new Portal game is have a slow-motion ability. It's really hard to do aerial portal placement when you're flying along a parabolic path at 100 kph. Good read.

remember the bit where you had to shoot the floor, and the ceiling directly above, then fall through the floor and look up and to the side to shoot the one bit of wall that was portal-able (to get over a force field).... could have used slow-mo for that, so many attempts...

Interesting Interview. I want more EP3 shit lol.

 

[taviow]

Well, me too. But seems like it's going to take long to get INFO about the game... wtf...

 

[Sneaki]

Months until any EP3 info apprantly...Where does that put the trailer's release?
