Pas de Portal 2 avant 2011

9 juin 2010 à 19:28 · 0 commentaires

Voilà un communiqué de presse de Valve qui va faire parler de lui ! Après plusieurs semaines de supputations, le suspens prend (presque) fin : si la surprise qui sera révélée à l\'E3 n\'est bien évidemment pas connue, on sait désormais qu\'elle concernera Portal 2.

En parlant de Portal 2, la grosse information de ce communiqué est l\'annonce de son report. Initialement prévu pour la fin de cette année, le jeu ne sera finalement pas disponible avant 2011.

VALVE ANNOUNCES MAKING GAMES IS HARD

June 9, 2010 -- Aperture Science, doing business as Aperture Laboratories LLC, in partnership with Valve today announced the successful completion of an ethics-review-panel-supervised release date restructuring process. Portal 2, the sequel to the ground-breaking title that earned over 30 Game of the Year awards despite missing its original ship date, is now targeted for a 2011 release.

Representatives from both companies acknowledged that public safety concerns factored into the decision. They went on to say that even though Portal 2 will arrive slightly later than planned, all life on earth won\'t instantaneously stop as every molecule in your body explodes at the speed of light, which is what would happen should a rip ever appear in the fabric of Valve Time.

\« Also, the game will be even better,\ » they added, missing an historic opportunity to create the first product delay press release to mention that a product is being delayed to make it worse.

To ask questions about how close we all came to dying, or to ask futile questions about the previously announced E3 ***PORTAL-2-THEMED-FOR-GOD\'S SAKE*** surprise or, less futilely, to schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve\'s delegate to the EU\'s Valve Time Studies Group, Doug Lombardi.
