Portal/Half-Life 2 Clarification - Blue's News Comments

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.

Honestly? I'd like to see Half-Life 2: Blue Shift. Get an idea what Barney's been up to this whole time - maybe get a chance at some different playstyles. I doubt Barney's personality is really conducive to "stealth" gameplay or anything like that, but his undercover position as a Metrocop opens up a number of exciting possibilities.

That sounds a lot like Contract JACK for the NOLF series. Take away all the stealth and non-combat stuff, and that's the game you get. But wait, didn't most people hate Contract JACK and Blue Shift?

If they do a Blue Shift 2, they should make it a little more interesting. People already criticized Episode 1, saying it didn't bring anything new. What do you think they would say about Blue Shift 2?
