TIME TRAVEL!
Portal 2
Game » consists of 20 releases. Released Apr 19, 2011
Portal 2 is the sequel to the acclaimed first-person puzzle game, carrying forward its love of mind-bending problems and its reckless disregard for the space-time continuum.
Wild Portal 3 Theory *spoilers*
I think I might have this down. If they were to make a Portal 3, the main character would be Caroline.
Another thing. She wouldn't say she needed time to think unless telling her would in some way damage the likelyhood of her getting back into her body. Also, it appeared the Cave Johnson and Caroline were in a relationship. Ref: Cave Johnson's attitude toward her in the audio tapes, and the painting from the "Painting of a Woman" achievement. And the only reason I could come up with for not telling Chell was that Cave Johnson and Caroline are Chell's parents.
Caroline must have been put in Charge of Aperture and GLaDOS didn't like her, ref: GLaDOS: "*When Cave is talking* YEAH! YEAH! I LIKE THIS GUY!" She must have like Cave a lot, and not wanted a new leader, then since her last 2 minutes were repeated over and over, her memories may have been repressed. She must have taken over Aperture and used Caroline as a test subject, and when Caroline fought back, she lost when she reached GLaDOS and was killed. SHE must have been the one to write the directions on the walls to GET to GLaDOS in Portal 1! Sadly she must've lost, making her daughter, Chell, the PERFECT replacement test subject, since Cave was dead from moon rock poison.
TL;DR: Caroline and Cave are Chell's parents. Caroline was tested on, killed, and Chell was used as the next test subject; where Portal 1 starts. [Evidence in the section.]
Portal 3 should merge with Half Life 3. Two silent protagonists come together in the most bizarre co-op campaign ever created. One with a crowbar and guns and the other with nothing but a portal gun.
" I was hoping for you to mention the co-op ending instead of.. this "Yeah that would be the obvious thing to bring up.
Portal 2 takes place after Episode 3, we know the world is saved from the aliens. Glados mentions seeing humans on the outside during this time period so it's safe to say everything is well.
Portal 3 either has to take place before Portal 1, take place during Half Life 2, or something else that's magical. As far as I see it, Glados will just put those humans in more tests over and over and then releases them.
" If there is Portal 3 it would have to be without Chell. I don't really see a need for Portal 3 anyway. "this.
Interesting theory, but I don't think this is anywhere near enough evidence for time travel. The most logical explanation for the orange jumpsuit signs is that they're there to tell the Aperture employees to alert people if they see test participants outside of the tests.
" Glados mentions seeing humans on the outside during this time period so it's safe to say everything is well. "She also says she saw some deer and that the test detected that "you are a horrible person", she also tries to murder you multiple times. I don't think you can believe 99% of what she says. She's toying with Chell for most of the game so yeah. We know the Earth didn't blow up or anything between Episode 2 and Portal 2 but we don't have any idea if there's any humans or anything still around, or at least, if there's a decent amount.
Knowing Valve, it'll take so fucking long to come out everyone will have forgotten what happened in 1 and 2 and no one will care where the story goes.
The second playthrough in I made a bigger note out of GLaDOS saying she saw people, I don't think she can be trusted though, she's likely just saying that to tease Chell more.
I'm in the "Chell's alone on Earth" camp. I think the only suitable "Portal 3" would be an artsy, "walk around North America until you die of "x"-causes" journey.
A return to Aperture Science? Never again, and I don't think Valve intends to.
I don't think Valve has a serious idea of where they want to go with Portal 3. I think the ending is open enough so that they can literally do whatever they want (if they even want to do another one). Honestly this game ended almost exactly the same as the first one (excluding the bit added later on).
The end of Portal 3 ends much like Men in Black where the camera keeps pulling back further and further until it is revealed it is a self contained universe on a pimple on Gabe Newall's enormous ass.
Lower quadrant of the left cheek an inch and a half away from the abyss if you want to know the exact location.
IMO, if they ever want to continue the story from inside Aperture, they should use:
Mind you, I haven't played the MP yet, so I don't know what this ending there that everyone's talking about is.
" @AustinQ: You know Caroline is GLADoS right? "I thought this was as explicit as they could have made it.
just think guys wheatley and the portal gun are both in space wheatley has the weird claw things on his head to use the portal gun to get back to earth it could be about wheatley getting back to earth breaking glados off the main guide rail so if they both ended up in those aperture science robot core holders (like atlas and p body) glados could try and ascape the facility why wheatley tries to destroy the test facility and the world (just an idea but it would make an awesome game)
two co op storys and two one player storys for the one player story it the queston why the core why portal gun why glados you dont use portals till almost the end the 2nd is the return of chell so glados is kinda worred that wheatly may retrun some on eath were so she take chell over to the lab to find him. she do but she takes wheatly and space core becase they done nothing yet
