[quote]For immediate release: VALVE Announces Shortest Delay In Valve History

Valve today announced that Portal 2 -- the sequel to the ground-breaking title that won over 30 game of the year awards, despite missing its original ship date -- will now be available the week of April 18th, 2011. This two month slip not only marks the shortest delay in Valve's proud tradition of delays, it represents the approaching convergence of Valve Time and Real Time. Though this convergence spells doom for humanity, it will not affect the new Portal 2 release date.[/quote]

Shortest delay in history

Whats TGN?

EDIT:Nevermind, Rate Boxes

[Akasolidus]

TGN is a game community website which got its information from the Valve press mailing list which I have just included. Just needed a second source. It stands for Total Gaming Network by the way.

[MasterFen007]

Oh great.

[A B.A. Survivor]

I hope they delay it another week so it releases on my birthday.

[MasterFen007]

At the rate it was going, it would have been released 8 days after my birthday.

[Pardalis]

Now we extrapolate this and obtain the expected release in 2020

[MaxOfS2D]

I [B]so[/B] saw that coming!

But a quality Valve game is one that gets delayed at some point or the other

(and I guess you know what that means about L4D2, lol)

How legit are these guys?

I don't exactly see a link to their twitter as a credible source.

I wouldn't call two months small.

[Inspector Jones]

Remember when Valve tried dismissing Valve Time with Left 4 Dead 2?
Sure, they released that game on the said date (amazingly), but Valve would not be Valve without delays.

[Niven]

Informative

[Overseer No. 2]

Well fuck.

[Mazakrov]

Their shortest delay in history. Bravo Valve.

that's probably going to happen, they've still got five months to decide on a new delayed release date
