Portal coming to Xbox Live Arcade News
Xbox 360 News by Kristan Reed
An expanded version of Eurogamer's Game of the 2007, Portal, is be released this autumn, subtitled 'Still Alive'.
Amusingly unveiled at Microsoft's E3 2008 press briefing by the one and only GLADoS, the beefed-up version will be coming exclusively to the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade, Microsoft or rather she said.
Emerging to cheers from the press, GLADoS utttered: "Due to previous tests being solvable, we are currently manufacturing new test chambers for only the most qualified subjects."
Published by Valve and Microsoft, the official press release states that Portal: Still Alive "features the full award-winning Portal single-player game from Valve plus a new challenge mode". Teasingly vague, but it'll do. If it's cheap.
At the time of publication it wasn't made clear whether Portal: Still Alive is simply a console exclusive or whether a similarly expanded PC edition will also be coming out via Steam at the same time. Expect clarification shortly.
We're seeing Valve later this week, when we'll get the chance to speak to Gabe Newell again, so check back for more on Portal: Still Alive soon.

"Sequel" sounds a bit strong, sounds more like a special edition of the original with additional content.

Doh! I thought this was Portal 2!
Having literally just finished Portal last night on my recently purchased Orange Box (360 version) there'll have to be serious extras and a really cheap price point for me to consider. Both of which may be possible, considering Valve's seeming want to not screw over gamers.... :0) |

Hopefully it can also be acquired as an expansion to the 360 Orange Box.

Great, i'm just playing through portal on mi mac for the 1st time & loving it to bits. But i heard it's a short game so i guess the love ain't gonna last to long, still i'll consider gettin this when released if the rest of the game lives upto the first coupla hours.

hmmm, 2 slightly conflicting quotes there:
"Due to previous tests being solvable, we are currently manufacturing new test chambers for only the most qualified subjects." sounds like actual new levels, whereas Portal: Still Alive "features the full award-winning Portal single-player game from Valve plus a new challenge mode". sounds like just a new challenge mode, like the least portals/least steps modes... if it's actual new levels, i'll buy it in a heartbeat, but if it's just new modes then i doubt i'll bother... really hoping for the former. |

I'd love some new "chambers" for the little gem but if the new achievements mean I have to do all the least step and least time challenges all over again I'm going to pass. I can't go through that frustration all over again for 200 points.

It could be available for the PC too.
If not, meh, we've had custom-made chambers for months :) |
