Portal 2 Could Take A While
Portal, and anything Portal related, tends to produce a charged pavlovian response for all of us in GayGamer Castle. So, when Eurogamer.net struck up an interview with Valve's Marketing Director, Doug Lombardi, our collective ears perked up and we began to salivate uncontrollably.
Unfortunately, Lombardi stated that, "In typical Valve tradition, it won't be Portal with different colours."
"I think that when you hit something like that, you have two choices: you can quickly replicate it and stick it out there -- do the opportunistic thing and cash in on it; or you can do the crazy thing like we did after Half-Life was so successful and go off and try and say, 'Okay, that was revolutionary, so its successor has to be equally as revolutionary.'"
While I have to applaud Valve's decision to maintain creative control over their products, there is a tiny, insatiable fanboy deep in my heart screaming, "C'mon? I mean, really? Can't you be revolutionary faster?"
Portal's primary fault is that it is as enthralling and entertaining as it is brief, which causes me to wonder if more of the same would actually be as boring as Valve asserts.

No surprise here. After all, how long did TF2 take to come out?
I 100% agree. I don't really need revolutionary...the game could be finished in a few hours so more of the same that would be an actual game would be wonderful. I enjoyed taking out the gun androids etc...and there definitely wasn't enough of those.
