Zoals we inmiddels van Valve gewend zijn, heeft het bedrijf grote, revolutionaire plannen voor Portal 2. Lombardi verklaarde:
- “In typical Valve tradition, it won’t be Portal with different colours. I think that when you hit something like that, you have two choices: you can quickly replicate it and stick it out there – do the opportunistic thing and cash in on it; or you can do the crazy thing like we did after Half-Life was so successful and go off and try and say, ‘Okay, that was revolutionary, so its successor has to be equally as revolutionary.’
Valve wil dus niet gewoon “meer van hetzelfde” bieden, wat volgens Lombardi ronduit saai zou zijn. We moeten er alleen wel wat langer op wachten…
