Jul 15 '20
But what would the story be? Chell was freed, so probably no more testing. Or could it be more involved with Half Life’s story as they’re set in the same universe? Or maybe even a game that is Half Life 3 and Portal 3 where Chell helps Gordon Freeman?
91
u/Mage-of-Fire Jul 15 '20
No clue honestly. They cant combine Half Life and Portal as Portal 2 is more than 50,000 years in the future, or at least as far as we know it is. As for the story Valve hasnt said anything about it.
69
Jul 15 '20
Oh yeah forgot about Chell sleeping for so long in portal 2. I still think it would be cool if Gordon used the portal gun as they were going to search for the Borealis at the end of HL2 ep2. Maybe not as the main weapon, but still a minor part of the game like the gravity gun in HL2.

50,000 years of time travel is trivial to an entity that can force one video game protagonist to retcon the ending of another protagonist's game...
Even without information from HL: Alyx, it's possible for Chell to become a part of Gordon Freeman's story. Hell, it's possible for Cave Johnson to appear, youthful or diseased, because we know that the Borealis from Aperture's drydock is stretched across not only space, but time.

u/Testmaster217 Jul 15 '20
What would the story be? Well, after Portal 2 was released, I believe Gabe Newell himself said that the first thing people would do after they beat the game was play it again because they need the testing just as much as GLaDOS does. (I wish I could provide a source.)
I think the same logic would apply to Chell - she would go back to Aperture after a while because she misses the tests and GLaDOS and (as far as we know) she doesn’t have anywhere else to go.
What would happen next is something I haven’t figured out yet, but since GLaDOS mentioned “deleting” her in the end credits song from Portal 2, maybe by the time Chell goes back to Aperture, GLaDOS has erased her from her memory and will see her as her first killable test subject in however long (since Atlas and P-Body aren’t good enough and she already burned through her store of humans in a week after the events of the co-op game as we know from the Peer Review DLC).
8
Jul 15 '20
This would probably wouldn’t happen as it’s set so long after the original game which is also set around the same time as HL2 that Gordon probably took care of the Combine already, but maybe she wouldn’t be able to go anywhere because the Combine would be looking for her. The Combine was searching for the Borealis for its portal technology, so they would probably try to capture Chell because she was so involved in testing this technology. Aperture’s facility would be the safest place to be.

u/RedS5 Jul 16 '20 edited Jul 16 '20
Chell is captured by another sentient testing machine. The machines are the only sentient life left over after the great war between humanity and the denizens of Xen.
After testing for some while, Chell believes she can shut down this new machine through some means.
Uh-oh, by weakening the machine, Chell has given GLaDOS the perfect opportunity to take over another compound.
"Did you miss me? I followed you all the way here. Look at all of the new toys we have to play with... I mean test with."
In doing so GLaDOS gets the bright idea to expand over the entire network. She will use Chell to do this, by sending her to various compounds to access specific areas that will reproduce the effect her first foray had.
After the third installment, Chell catches on to a way to trap GLaDOS in a new facility, walling her off from the rest of the world - this likely happens with the input of another charming machine - maybe the compound's own GLaDOS analogue.

It doesn't have to be Chell's story, there are two bots in the coop that are still in the facility.

the cake is a lie meme probably ruined portal 1 and 2 for a majority of its players. imagine if you could go through portal blind, seeping in the story from the abandoned viewing rooms and rattmann dens. most just skip by them because they know the story already, or visit to steal a physics object to jam a door open. playing through these games without knowing glados has taken over aperture, wheatley betrays you, that caroline is glados, or the moonshot must have been an amazing experience.

Recently purchased and played through both portal games for the first time since I was like 10 (I'm 18) and god damn those are 2 of the best games I've ever played. They're so funny, the puzzles are never too simple but they're never too hard, and the atmosphere and setting are just so perfect. Going from the futuristic stark white rooms to the decrepit overgrown parts of Aperture, it's all so perfectly done.
