She’s certainly referenced in Mossman’s smuggled blueprints.Īlthough we’ve never really known anything about him, looking through the developing sub-text of his scenes with Gordon throughout the series potentially reveals quite a lot. But we do think (and hope) that we’ll come into contact with a version of GlaDOS, possibly even a pre-psychosis version given the ship’s isolation from the main Aperture HQ. Aside from the fact that they would change H-L 2’s gameplay too much at this late stage, they’d ruin Valve’s careful binding () of player and protagonist by actually letting us see Gordon through the old magic doors, just as we could see Chell in Portal. Speaking of Aperture technology, the question must be raised as to whether Portal guns will come into play. Aperture’s portal technology in Combine hands could lead to absolutely anything, including as big a scenario jump between Episode Three and Half-Life 3 as that between the original Half-Life and its sequel. Instead, we reckon the ship will be the centre of a climax similar to that of the original Half-Life 2 a final, do-or-die battle that will end the current saga, and not in anything like a neat way.
Plus, some of the Episode Three production art released by Valve shows the submerged Borealis already covered in Combine technology. Time has passed since Mossman’s original communication regarding its discovery, and the Combine were already on top of her when she sent it. So, a heated race against time for control of the ship? No. Mossman after she found the ship’s location. With the main Combine super portal to Earth now out of action, it’s pretty clear why they would have tracked down Dr. The rediscovered Aperture Science ship is obviously going to be the crux of Episode Three, but how exactly? Given the significance of portals to the Combine invasion, the ship’s sudden disappearance from its dry-dock would imply that it’s packing a hugely scaled-up version of the technology we played with in Portal. Below are predictions as to where the story may continue. Not only will it conclude arguably the greatest FPS of all time (at least until Half-Life 3), but it will tie up the current chapter of one of the most intriguing, involving and well-told stories in gaming. Half-Life 2: Episode Three is going to be a massive deal.
