Portal/Half-Life 2 Clarification
[Mar 11, 2007, 2:19 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

Planet Half-Life has a story up clarifying that Portal in Half-Life 2: Episode Two is a separate game from Half-Life 2 that does not exist within the Half-Life continuity (thanks Ant). This strikes us as how the project was described from the get-go, but in case there was any confusion, they distill a couple of recent interviews to clarify the situation:

With Portal co-existing in a world along with Half-Life, crossovers are a definite possibility. Unfortunately, according to Kim Swift, we won't be seeing any Portal gun versus Gravity gun duels in the foreseeable future. Rumors surrounding the device's name, "Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device" suggested the return of another Half-Life character, Adrian Shephard. Adrian, the central character to Opposing Force, meets a similar fate to Gordon Freeman under the G-Man. Though the sequel to Half-Life continues Gordon's story, the whereabouts and condition of Adrian is still relatively unknown.

Just after Valve acquired the team that created Portal, Gabe did a video interview. And he sure did mention incorporating Portal into HL. He specifically mentioned an area in the original HL where you overhear two scientists talking before blowing themselves up, thus allowing you to get the gauss gun and how that area could play into Aperture Science.

Valve clearing something up?.... No. They've changed their minds. Should anyone give a damn?.... No. It's a videogame and so far, all of theirs have been a lot of fun.
