And we were right there with him
It is over eleven years from Portal 2 has been released, and it seems fans aren’t the only ones calling on Valve to start following one of the most beloved games ever. Erik Wolpow, co-author of both Portal games, as well as many other popular Valve titles such as The remaining 4 people died and Half Life: Alyxcontinued Kiwi Talkz Podcast this week and urge Valve to get to work 3 . portas originally reported by VGC.
His exact words were: “I am not young anymore. We’re getting to the point where it’s crazy to think [that we’re] literally would be too old to continue 3 . portso we should do it. “
First of all, I think Wolpow is hilarious and I think from this interview it’s easy to tell that he wrote Portal Game. I also think it’s great that he wants to come back, because it shows how much he really enjoys working on those games. His comments also suggest that while he may have been instrumental in creating the series of games we know and love, his desire for another sequel alone is not enough. to get the ball rolling at the studio.
Wolpow went on to discuss that a lot of fans are wondering what Valve’s team is actually doing, but assure us that’s not all.
“It seems Valve often [is] just a bunch of people sitting around sipping gin and tonics by the pool, everyone’s working,” he said. “They work all the time, you just don’t see them all the time [result], it doesn’t always end, or it appears years later, it turns into something else. So everyone is accounted for, I guess is what I’m talking about. ”
This constant shifting and shifting of plans is a classic in game development, and Valve has enough of that sweet Steam money to keep the lights on while they try to figure out their next move. .
I’m with Wolpow – if they want to do another one Portal game, they need to do it soon, and they need to do it with him and the rest of the original development team while they still can. I have a feeling that any other attempt will fail.
