Portal 2

[Drakul]

Portal on Steam got an update on March the 1st. In the update was an extra achievement and new radio transmissions.

Originally Posted by Kotaku Valve's brilliant first-person puzzler Portal has just been updated. Not normally a big deal, but when that update adds a new, mysterious Steam achievement and some hidden radio transmissions and this is Valve we're dealing with, we're right to be curious. Today's Portal update, officially, features the following addition: "Changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum management regulations." Not officially noted there is the new Steam achievement "Transmission Received" which goes undescribed by the developer, but involves the use of Portal's in-game radios. Also included, as spotted by Steam forumgoers are a bunch of new sound files, all prefaced with the word "dinosaur." According to members there, those sound files feature Morse code encoded transmissions. While we have no idea at this point what Valve is planning—the Steam mob is currently pounding away at a solution and Morse code experts are encouraged to join the fray—we wouldn't be surprised if the Half-Life and Left 4 Dead developer was planning a Portal related announcement. If it were to announce Portal 2, we wouldn't be surprised. If it were to announce a sequel to one of its games in its own game, we'd simply be impressed. Given the close relationship between Portal and Half-Life, we could also be looking at a separate game announcement, like the long-awaited Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Whatever the case, we're excited and keeping a close eye on updates. Update: New sound files, including this new computerized voiceover from something that is not GlaDOS and these transmissions, have been making their way to YouTube from users. Give 'em a listen. The game continues, with those sound files containing data for equally mysterious images. There's plenty of code-cracking to be done, as Valve is going hog wild with this multi-layered puzzle.

Here are the sound files linked to by Kotaku:



Morse code etc:


There where images in the games files as well. Set to spoiler so you don't have to scroll past them all the time:

SPOILER: show

Someone pointed out that all these files where named dinosaur and that in Portal, there are skeletal drawings of dinosaurs on clip boards. It's too big to post here.

There is another thing, this:


someone on the steam forum said this

The title of this login screen is GladOS 3.11. 3/11, as in March 11th. Gabe Newell is set to recieve the Pioneer Award at the Game Developers Choice Awards on 3/11, March 11th. We will receive more news on March 11th.

So maybe we'll hear what this is about then.

I checked the 360 version of the game and there was no new update for that version. Everyones trying to decode the messages right now. Some are saying this could be for Half Life 2 Ep 3 or maybe Portal 2. I was never a fan of HL (I played the 1st one on the PS2) but I loved Portal and would love another one.
