So, I have an idea for IF VALVe makes a Portal 3:

Spoiler

You are one of the test subjects that was tested back in the 1970s. Cave Johnson talks to you through the speakers in the enrichment spheres. Then, a disaster happens. An enrichment sphere collapses and breaks away from its supports, and crushes other spheres, right after you get in the elevator. You fall until you land in one of the 1950s spheres, and, in this Portal game, if you fell in that water at the bottom of most enrichment spheres, you would survive! So, you fell into that in that 1950s test, while Cave Johnson panics over the speakers. You escape the facility through an old rocket in a launch bay from 1952. You eject yourself when the rocket crash-lands in Lake Michigan, and the game ends there.

It sounds interesting, but I don't think VALVe is going to make a Portal 3 any time soon. YOu could try making this yourself if you wanted, most of the files you need are already in the game. (Prop_physics_override would let enhment spheres collaps, for example.)

I think it's unlikely valve is coming with Portal 3 any time soon. For Portal 3 they need to come up with whole new test elements. Doing a few new maps for Portal 2 won't do it. Testing them all and making sure they work consistently together and in a fun way is a tough job to achieve, so if there's a portal 3 in the future it's probably ages away.

Also, valve has a lot of talented writers and I'm more than sure that thare'll be an epic story to portal 3, if it would actually ever got made.

... Expect for new test elements, probably a new engine, good voice clips, new textures, new soundscapes, new sound files new captions, new puzzles etc etc. The task to make a huge project like this is just impossible for one person.

True. I was thinking he would make a mod if anything, which is doable (albeit really hard) for a single person. Look at Mevious's Rexaura, for example, which came as close to being a Portal 2 in the Portal 1 engine as I've seen.

There should be new testing elements like :
Object funnel:will push objects and pulls test subjects
Subject funnel:will pull objects and push test subjects.
Green laser:powerful laser which destroys anything except discouragement redirection cubes.
Upgraded turret:the ML's hover turret.
Defective cube:a fragile cube

That would be like a Portal 2 Mod, this arent really new test elements ^^

Portal 3 idea (Post your feedback on what you think)
