why portal 3 will never exist [Spoilers]

[Cross]

chell escapes at the end of portal 2(well, more kicked out by glados), why would she return when she's tried so many times to escape only to be dragged back in? it makes no sense, and glados wouldn't go and double-cross chell and drag her back in, she says that chell wins and that she gives up trying to contain her. also making a new character is out of the question, orignally in portal 2 you played as a lady called mel, but she was scrapped as game testers complained that glados didn't recognise them. whilst they COULD use atlas and p-body, what would the story be? if one of them supposeddly disapeared they could easily be reassembled. and if they made portal 3 people would then beg even more for half life 3 and that wold be annoying. and if you want a prequel, portal prelude is for you. and the idea of the outside being fake is just plain dumb so don't suggest it. also valve could decide to confirm the death theroy that uses greek mythology as evidence, something portal 2 uses a lot, view this http://steamcommunity.com/app/620/discussions/0/846965882693231189/ .oh and btw, the prima dona turret is based on the expression"it's not over, until the fat lady sings" the prima dona turret being instead of "the fat lady", and she sings, so portal is over.

EDIT: i don't know why i put oracle turret

you found a secret, you deserve yourself a potato

I think that Portal 3 would have to be a prequel to Portal Still Alive where you play as Doug Rattman as you watch GLaDOS kill the other scientists and then as you help Chell go through 1 and 2.

Portal Still Alive is Portal 1 :P

ok a few things:
1: it seems a lot like a rant or a rage, calm down
2: yest there would be no point in continuing the same plot based around the same characters, HOWEVER that doesn't mean that there can't be another story set in the same universe, let's not forget that it's in the same universe as half-life, that aalready gives it a lot of possibilities to expand
3: there are countless examples of stories/shows etc that remain whithin the same universe yet work with countless books etc, a good example of this is star wars... there are over 50 books and it's still ongoing, this proves that they could make a successful portal 3 game if they go about it the right way
4: yes, the story can revolve around atlas and p-body but it doesn't have to revolve around one disappearing, that would be pointless but for example it could be about them developing more human emotions and doubts, which would lead to glados trying to scrap them... then try to liberate all the human test subjects found in the end of portal 2 coop... it's definitely a possibility for a good story for portal 3.
5: if you have a goose that lays golden eggs, you make damn well sure it lays as many of those eggs as it can, portal was a huge hit, portal 2 was even more successful, having said that a company whose revenue is based on selling games won't just stop at 1 successful sequel, I think they'll want to keep this series going for as long as they can... sadly often this means that EVENTUALLY they'll make a crappy one...

Your metaphor would imply that these 'golden eggs' would be critically acclaimed no matter what. The eggs have already been laid. I really don't see a point in continuing the game.

That is true, I completely agree with your point, however the point that I was trying to make is that valve is a company, a company's aim is to make money, therefore all of their decisions they make (including whether to make a sequel or not) will revolve around whether they will make money or not, having said that, portal 1 and 2 wever very successful and therefore the company might be willing to make sequels that will sell (they know it will sell since the previous two had sold so well) in order to make more money... you're thinking about this game series as an actual series and about the quality however the company thinks of it a a source of money... if it makes more money, do it, everything else doesn't matter... just look at how many unnecessary videogame sequels have been made in this past decade, the best example of this is of course, COD... one game was good enough but it kept selling to they kept making more and more "sequels"...

Wait a minute, so you are saying you want Valve to make a sequel so that they make more money regardless of the quality of the game? Are you making a share of these profits or something? Why would you want this? Valve isn't the kind of company that would spew out sequels in the name of profit. They have never been this way, otherwise there would be a lot of unnecessary sequels. Valve has made very few games compared to most companies, and all of them have been crtically acclaimed and had hard work and care put into them. If you knew Valve, you would know that Valve genuinely cares about making quality games rather than making games simply for the money.

I nver said that I wanted that to happen, all I'm saying is that with the way companies are run these days it's a likely scenario

If Telltale can make a game about Minecraft, then Valve can hire a studio to make a film about Portal.

since when did telltale have a game about minecraft

Didn't you hear? Telltale is developing an interactive story about Minecraft.
