Portal Updates hint at Sequel?

Ok. I’m trying to breathe here but you know, heart trying to burst out of my chest at the prospect of Half Life 3 (or simply Episode 3) or Portal 2.

So yeah there have been some updates the Valve has pushed out in the past couple of days that have included secret radio morse-code messages, strange and alarming imagery, and now the most insane of all; a new ending to Portal has been spliced into the game files!

GDC (game Developers Conference) is coming up and that’s a prime time to make some silly as fuck announcements, I’m talking about announcements that traditionally turn the gaming industry on its head in excitement.

All of this hints at a new character (the player from Portal) and both a new Portal game or a follow up to Half Life 2: Episode 2. Both titles are in the same fictional universe and you even get to learn a thing or two about Aperture Science during the Half Life 2 Episode 2 story.

Now, when to beat the original Portal game, you wake up in the car park outside the Aperture Science building and it fades to black. With the update that no longer happens; you stay conscious for a few seconds longer when a robot walks up remaining off camera and says “Thank you for assuming the party escort submission position…” then proceeds to drag you away before you black out. Here’s a video of the new ending, damn people we might just get some closure after all!
