Valve Cancels Portal 2 Event at Regal Theater, Promises a "Big Surprise" Instead
Niven:
This just in from Aperture Science, the big Valve and Portal 2 event to be held at the Regal Theater next to the E3 venue on June 14th has been canceled! Don't worry though, Valve and Aperture promises that the event will be replaced by a surprise!
--- Quote ---Dear Subject Name Here,
Aperture Science is pleased to inform you that we have partnered with Valve to announce the gala CANCELLATION of the June 14 Portal 2 event at the Regal Theater. The event will be replaced by a surprise. And even though the cancellation of the event certainly counts as a surprise, we are pleased to further announce that the cancellation of the event is not THE surprise. However, per International treaties regarding the definition of the word "surprise", of which both Aperture Science and Valve are signatories, the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise.

Taken from the Facepunch thread. I'm so mad though. I don't want ep3, I don't want l4d3, nor the engie update. All I want is some Portal 2 stuff. But nooo they had to cancel it with some big surprise. asdfassgasfgha

MEANWHILE AT VALVE
Sirrus:
Meh.
I still think Portal 1 was more of a proof-of-concept than a full game. It was fun, but I'd rather see the portal gun as a fixture in EP3 than Portal 2.
Also, I'd like to see DX11 support if their surprise is an engine update.

What if the surprise was a 6-chamber Portal 2 Beta?

Probably the next half life game. I have no idea what else it would be.
