The verdict is in folks, Portal 2 is awesome and gamers love it to death but the game is too damn short. I know personally I beat the game in about a day and although I was pleased with myself that I beat the game so quickly a part of me was left needing more. Don’t me get me wrong, what the game lacked in length it more than made up for with witty humor and an addictive storyline. It turns out I’m not alone, a lot of gamers have been complaining that the game is a bit short. So, when rumors broke that Valve might be working on a DLC for Portal 2 many gamers like myself got real excited because there’s nothing better than a DLC to make a game better.
It’s not an official announcement, but During an interview with Fast Company, Valve’s VP of Marketing spilled the Beans that Valve is working on expansion packs (DLC). The VP was quoted:
———————————————————————————————————-
“We will be announcing some DLC for it, so folks can keep a look out for more content coming this summer. We’ll be putting more details out about that in a week or so.”
———————————————————————————-
More details should be flooding out in the next couple of weeks. We should also anticipate a more formal announcement and marketing then too. But it looks like we should see a Portal 2 DLC hit Xbox 360, PS3, and Steam this summer.
Portal 2 is already being heaped with praise from gamers and critics alike. It’s received a 9.5 rating at IGN, a 9.0 at GameSpot, and it looks like it might be in the running for the coveted Game of the Year award. The release of a DLC only stands to increase the games standing amongst gamers and critics while also increasing it’s value and quality in the long run.
Details are still short on the contents of the DLC but rumor has it that it will contain new single player content as well as additional Co-Op content. As a huge Valve fan, a Half-Life player, and now a Portal 2 convert I can’t wait for the DLC. Stay tuned for more news.
