There's a new Portal game and it costs $12,500

by Andy Chalk

It's been 14 years since Portal 2, and, well, the wait for a new game in the series isn't exactly over. But if you're a die-hard fan, if you have a lot of money lying around and nothing else to do with it, and if you like pinball, you can go for Portal on the P3 Pinball Platform, complete with the passive-aggressive stylings of GlaDOS delivered by actor Ellen McLain...

Portal Randomized mixes up Valve's beloved puzzler by turning the floor into lava and filling chambers with a deadly neurotoxin

by Rick Lane

I would still count Portal as one of my favourite games, but truth be told I haven't been back to it for a while. Having played it countless times since it launched, I feel like I've simply wrung it dry. Sure, it's fun to drop back in to hear GLaDOS' withering putdowns or just enjoy its general atmosphere. But I know most of its beats off by heart, and I could solve its chambers with the lights turned out... Read more.

Valve was going to ship The Orange Box in a white box before staff 'destroyed' the idea, and yes they saw you all doubting Portal before release: 'You guys are gonna eat those words'

by Rich Stanton

On October 10 2007 Valve released what is perhaps the greatest deal in gaming history: The Orange Box, a compendium of Half-Life 2 with both episodes, the long-awaited Team Fortress 2, and the unknown quantity Portal. OK, Half-Life 2 was a few years old by this point (Episode 2 was new), but every single game in that package is an all-timer, and you got the lot for the price of one retail game... Read more.

Here are some of the best Steam games most own but too few have played

by editor@pcgamesn.com

There are some games it feels like literally everyone has played - or at least heard of. Half-Life. Portal. Left 4 Dead. The list goes on, and on, and on. But despite their popularity and status as PC gaming icons, new data from SteamIDFinder shows that the videogames we call classics too often sit collecting dust in our Steam libraries and, quite honestly, I feel slightly called out right now.

A new system requirements tier just popped up on Steam

by editor@pcgamesn.com

We're no strangers to the delights of system requirements and the sometimes stressful nature of meeting a developer's demands. Well, for those on the other end of the hardware spectrum who want to know how many frames per second they will get from their Nvidia RTX 4090, Steam appears to be testing the waters for ultra system requirements. You've never needed the best graphics card to simply get a game running, but in the world of PC gaming, we often want to know what hardware we need to get a game running at the very top settings, while still achieving a solid frame rate. This endless pursuit of performance is often ignored by game developers when they reveal system requirements, leaving gamers without an expectation of the hardware they'll need to enable the absolute best graphics settings at anywhere from 1080p to 4K.

The creator of the canceled Portal 64 demake says, 'Don't be mad at Valve here'

by Jody Macgregor

Programmer and Nintendo Jedi James Lambert has spent the last couple of years working on a demake of Valve's first-person puzzler Portal for the Nintendo 64, a machine I wasn't sure could even display a proper circle let alone a moveable hole in reality you can use to teleport through 3D space in real-time. That project, Portal 64, was recently canceled after Valve's lawyers asked Lambert to take it down... Read more.

That Portal 64 demake we liked so much has been kiboshed by Valve: 'They have asked me to take the project down,' creator says

by Andy Chalk

Just a week after releasing an impressive "first slice" playable build, work on Portal 64, a fan-made effort to bring Valve's beloved Portal to the 1996 Nintendo console, has been halted. Developer James Lambert said he was asked by Valve to take the project down, because it "depends on Nintendo's proprietary libraries.".. Read more.

Portal remake axed after developer discusses project with Valve

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Portal is undeniably iconic, as is its sequel. Sadly, in true Valve fashion, we have yet to see a third official game come to light. The lack of a new entry in the Portal series isn't stopping fans from expressing their own creativity with unofficial remakes, sequels, and the like, though. One of the more prominent projects based on Valve's 2007 classic, Portal 64, is sadly coming to an end and creator James Lambert now reveals why. Read the rest of the story...
