So, it's official; Portal 2 WON'T be revealed at E3...

...But guess what? They're replacing it with a completely NEW surprise! Hooray!

Valve's Letter To Game Websites:

Dear Subject Name Here,

Aperture Science is pleased to inform you that we have partnered with Valve to announce the gala CANCELLATION of the June 14 Portal 2 event at the Regal Theater. The event will be replaced by a surprise. And even though the cancellation of the event certainly counts as a surprise, we are pleased to further announce that the cancellation of the event is not THE surprise. However, per International treaties regarding the definition of the word "surprise", of which both Aperture Science and Valve are signatories, the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise.

If you'd like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise or, more fruitfully, schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve's Special Envoy to Surprises, Doug Lombardi.

Thank you for <<RECORD SCRATCH!!!>>

PS: The surprising record scratch is also not the surprise.

Um, that letter says that Portal 2 footage WILL be screened at E3, and that there's a separate Regal Theater event that's been canceled. No?

Can you say Half Life 2: episode 3? Still, long title though.

@CB I'm assuming there will be a private screening only for critics/game websites, which mean that there will be no PUBLIC screening for the game. I know, it's a sad day for all of us...

Ahhhh.

That IS sad.

Except, you know, the surprise has GOT TO BE Half-Life 2, Ep 3. Right?

I mean, what else can it be? Left 4 Dead 3? Oh man. Imagine the rage that would kick up. hahaha

I remember last year...

"They HAVE to reveal Episode Three right?! I mean what else could it be?" I won't lie, I was annoyed that L4D2 was announced instead, partly because L4D1 hadn't even been out for a year yet.

It could be a surprise to do with Steam, Team Fortress 2, EP3, or a completely different game. I would be extremely curious to see a new IP

Or complex puzzles which had someone going to the location of the ASCII images came from. It seemed to be from some office building.

What would be funny is if it was Left 4 Dead 3.

I reckon its just all marketing to make Portal 2 seem bigger, like it was all GLaDOS or something.
