First I guess I should preface this by saying that I couldn't see how Valve could pull off a sequel to Portal without just reiterating what they'd already done; they made Portal 2, a brilliant game which built upon a cool idea and turned into into a fully realised world.
Anyway, after the events of Portal 2 I really don't see where the franchise goes now. There's no way they can get away Chell being back in Aperture and GLaDOS out for revenge, or even just looking to test. I don't really think another test subject would work either.
There's the Half Life 3 and Portal 3 are gonna be the same game, which certainly sounds interesting, but the tones of the franchises are so different I couldn't see the Portal humour appearing for more than maybe a couple of levels where Gordon ends up in Aperture. There's also the matter of gameplay, the portal gun only supposed to work on moon rock surfaces so again it would only show up at the most as a brief differentiation in gameplay; even if they chose to ignore the fiction of the portals, having the portal gun everywhere would be game breaking.
Anyhoo I have faith in Valve, I just thought it was fun to think about, and see what everyone else thinks.
