Valve Software Prototyping Portal Gun for Episode 3?
Valve Software Prototyping Portal Gun for Episode 3?
In a recent interview with EGM magazine Doug Lombardi, David Speyrer, Kim Swift, Robin Walker of Valve Software talked about the future of the Half-Life series, Portal and what they are currently up to. Here's one particularly interesting passage:
EGM: What are people demanding?Kim Swift [Portal Level Designer]: A variety of things: map packs, multiplayer/co-op, Portal 2, Portal gun in Episode Three, and beyond. Right now, we're prototyping a few of these ideas and more. Getting Portals to work at all is a fairly significant challenge, but now that we're able to capture feedback from what worked in the first version, we have a lot to build upon for future versions.

If you just qoute that little bit of text, it could be a cool technology hoax :)
Americans developing portal technology!
;)
We're doomed! Doomed I say!
Oh mein Gott, wir werden alle sterben!
Oh Boy, think about the time we could save by walking through portals instead of driving to work, or flying to your vacation-location.
Think of the entropy!
To the best of my knowledge (read: my best guess) this would be a pretty hefty blow for Entropy. If you understand Entropy as "growing chaos" and are not thinking about fluid dynamics that is.
