Portal 3 may have a “fairly superior start line,” if it ever will get made

Portal 3 is not occurring (but), however in a latest interview the sequence’ author Erik Wolpaw did say he is aware of how it will begin.

Chatting with DidYouKnowGaming, Wolpaw spoke about some behind-the-scenes details about each Portal video games about characters like Wheatley and Cave Johnson, and lower content material from Portal 2. Maybe most curiously for followers of the puzzle-shooter, is the truth that Wolpaw spoke about Portal 3, which to be clear would not at the moment exist in any materials kind.

“Jay [Pinkerton] and I’ve an concept that we predict is fairly superior for what would occur, usually talking,” Wolpaw informed DidYouKnowGaming (Pinkerton being the co-writer of Portal 2). “We do not have a script or any particulars labored out, however we’ve got form of a place to begin that we like a ton.

“So you understand, it is good we’ve got this concept however there’s quite a bit left to do. Somebody’s gotta suppose up some new portal puzzles! However we do have an precise thought, sure.” Really getting this hypothetical Portal 3 is one other factor solely although, as Wolpaw additionally spoke on the pitching course of at Valve, or reasonably the lack-thereof of 1.

“Us having that concept versus really committing to creating a sport is a means totally different factor. It is not unknown, however there isn’t any formal pitch course of at Valve both. It is all the time form of a grassroots marketing campaign I suppose.”

The quantity three is clearly a little bit of a sensitive topic in relation to Valve although (I am speaking a couple of sure sport that rhymes with Calf Knife Glee). In accordance with Wolpaw, the explanation behind that is merely that Valve workers “simply maintain getting sucked into different stuff. Sometime hopefully there will probably be a 3 of one thing.

“It is virtually just like the numbering system works towards us,” Wolpaw quipped. “As a result of we made Half-Life 2, then sorta made a 3, nevertheless it was an episode, so possibly that was simply the luck of the draw.”

When it comes to what’s really subsequent for Portal, followers can count on a revamped model of the unique sport with ray tracing, DLSS 3, and extra when Portal with RTX arrives as free DLC subsequent week.
