The Portal franchise is a series of games that involve creating portals to teleport the player and objects through various puzzles. It also exists within the same universe as the Half-Life series.
Aperture Science is from the Half-Life universe. Does that make portal part of the Half-Life franchise? If not, what separates the two? Aperture Science is not just mentioned in the Half-Life universe; it will be featured prominently in HL2: Ep 3.
Yeah. That doesn't answer my question at all. I think that the games X-Wing and TIE Fighter are part of the same franchise despite the fact that they are from opposing perspectives. In fact there was later X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter in the same series.
Portal is NOT part of the half life franchise, it is a separate game that crosses over into the HL universe. For example Kingdom Hearts features FF characters but it is not part of the FF franchise. I know it's a bit different in the HL/Portal case but I can't think of another example right now.
