Portal disgorges new info

PC - Half-Life 2 - Portal disgorges new info

New details emerging from Valve's puzzle venture Portal have revealed that that the game's storyline is set in the Half-Life 2 world.

According to a report on 1up, the team beavering away on Portal are in cahoots with Half-Life plot scribe Marc Laidlaw to ensure it the storyline not only slots into the overall HL story arc but also develops the universe where possible.

A new, key female character - presumably the origin of the disembodied voice heard in the Portal trailers - is to be introduced too, level designer Kim Swift explaining that "The origins of this character will be clear... eventually". Discussing Portal in broader terms, Swift also cryptically said that, "Kind of like the rest of the Half-Life games, as you play through it, it should give you some answers as to who you are, but at the same time it raises more questions".

Valve confirms slip for Episode Two

PC News from N4G | Half-Life 2

PC - Half-Life 2 - Valve confirms slip for Episode Two

Valve Software has revealed it's now aiming for a Q1 2007 release for Half-Life 2: Episode Two, so sadly it will miss the originally expected late 2006 launch.

According to a report on EuroGamer, the developer's Doug Lombardi has said that February 2007 is most likely for Episode Two's debut. "You know, our thing is always that we're trying to make really good experiences and so we're going to manage to that rather than the schedule", Lombardi explained when speaking about the delay at the on-going Games Convention in Leipzig.

Half-Life 2: Episode Two will release with Team Fortress 2 and Valve's mind-bending puzzle venture Portal. PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Half-Life 2 - which include Episode One, Two and TF2 and Portal - are expected to materialise at the same time as Episode Two on PC.

Prey: Hands-On

PC News from N4G | Half-Life 2

It may not receive the same amount of attention as Half-Life 2 or Halo 3, but 2K Games' Prey has been on our must have list ever since we spied it at E3 2005. This bad ass looking FPS is probably not going to do much to advance its genre, but it's got just about everything we could ask for; slimy and evil looking aliens, lots of cool weapons, eight person multiplayer (a weak number, but we'll take it), and a different type of main character. It just looks like a fun game, and while we can't vouch for its single player campaign, we did go a few rounds with its enjoyable multiplayer component.
