Valve’s Accidental Announcement No Surprise
February 22nd, 2008 Posted in News, PlayStation 3, Puzzle by Will Prusik
Sometimes there’s just something that’s so popular and so cried for by fans that when a company comes out with a big announcement most of the people in the video game world just shrug and say “well, we’re glad it’s official but we all saw it coming.” The long-awaited announcement of Starcraft II didn’t shock me in the least. What did surprise me about it was they went so long without making a sequel. Portal co-designer Kim Swift goofed up in an interview with G4 and let slip the completely unshocking news that there’s a sequel to the unusual puzzle game in the works. With the undisputed darling of the Orange Box spawning parodies and tributes across the internet, it’s no surprise that they’ll be creating a sequel.
