Valve have updated the Steam version of Portal with a ton of secrets, hinting at the inevitable Portal sequel/Half-Life Episode 3 mash up. Steam forum goers discovered that the new Achievement, “Transmission Received” tasks players with carrying the radios around the game to uncover 26 secrets.
While most of the secrets are complicated SSTV pictures and morse code, there is an extended ending which you can find after the break. It’s pretty incredible how they went in and added all this stuff to a three year-old game. A great publicity stunt if I ever saw one. Now the big question is, how long do we have to wait Valve?
Update: Did I speak too soon? Portal 2 was announced today by Valve as coming “this holiday season”. Guess we can finally put aside those Half-Life mash up rumours now. Game Informer magazine has an exclusive 12 page article along with a pretty snazzy cover.
