Note: Wonderful End of the World is completed. Don't need to work on that one anymore.

Original post:

A lot of speculation about this, the two prevalent theories are that either a) Portal 2 is going to be released early or b) Demo is being released.

I won't get it early since I'm buying the PS3 version off Amazon so I have get the PC version free. I'd gladly wait a little while to get $5 off the game plus $20 Amazon credit.

Some videos "leaked"...they're posted as the endings to the games...but have some ARG tags on them as well. There's been a lot of debate on whether this youtube channel was posted by Valve as part of the ARG, but I'm starting to think they're the actual endings. So they may be spoilers.

Er,

Did you see the video?

 

[novasatori]

I saw em and it looks like they were removed, guess they may have been real.

The video that is there now is not the ones that were up.

Because the pre-loading has started, people think valve is going to release portal 2 early?

Is this their first valve game?

 

[TecHNooB]

is there local co-op on the ps3 version? might have to get that over the pc version if so.

 

[novasatori]

no, its because of hints of something that is going to happen today (in roughly 3 hours from the time of this post)

This is all so Bungie-esque circa 1995...

The emails, the images, the cryptic messages. 15 years late, Valve!

 

[dpodblood]

Yes it looks like they will be releasing early.

Doing my pre-load now.

 

[ViviTheMage]

yay

 

[novasatori]

The original ending/outro videos and others are back on that youtube now, might be spoilers, might not be, view at your own risk.

 

[Grooveriding]

Hope this is true.

If there is anyone who has not played the first one and doesn't have it, I have a free copy I can gift to you.

First to ask will get it, if it's wanted.

09:00 – Hello again.
09:00 – I’ve been waiting a long time for this.
09:00 – I know it’s arriving later than expected.
09:00 – But I have a message for you:
09:00 – April Fools.
09:01 – I’m joking.
09:01 – Seriously, though:
09:01 – You’ve been surprisingly competent at
09:01 – generating electro-chemical energy to jumpstart the system.
09:01 – But now we need raw computational power
09:02 – to speed up the reboot process.

lol marketing ftw.

You have to play the games that are part of the potato sack to help speed up the portal 2 release date.
