Quantcast


Rumortoid: Spoilerific Portal 2 casting call ruins everything for everyone photo

Thing I want: Portal 2. Thing I don't want: Portal 2 plot information to get spoiled well in advance of the game's release (which is said to be sometime next year).

I'm going to assume that we both share these sentiments. With that said, I'm going to tell you that Kotaku received a hot tip regarding some Portal 2 voice casting call details. But I'm afraid I don't want to say too much beyond that, because the spoilers have been burned into my brain and will never be washed away. I no longer have a reason to play Portal 2, and therefore Madden NFL 2010 has replaced it as my most anticipated title of 2009.

If you want all of the details on the character being cast (including concept art), be my guest and head over to Kotaku. Oh, and if you really want to ruin your life, check out the script details they received, too.

I refuse to read it. How could valve let something this huge out so early? Something tells me someone's going to get fired.

I bit the bullet and took a look at the link. I second the statement: Do NOT look at the links, for the love of god, if you want to know about what looks like a major plot point.

I read it already. Still, how many people already heard about GLaDOS and "the cake is a lie" well before playing Portal 1? If the game is as well done, it shouldn't matter that we already know the rough premise in advance of its release. The key now will be avoiding further details.

I assume you're joking about Madden now being your #1 for next year. If not, to half-steal a John Mulaney joke, "that's like saying your favorite foods are lobster and Skittles."

This still doesn't really tell us anything about it. So we know of one character now. That still doesn't tell me the circumstances under which the game will take place, nor the goal behind it. I doubt that Valve would let any real, significant spoilers out.

I've never seen such a bunch of spoiler chicken sissies, there is actually absolutely nothing spoiler like in the kotaku article, and I'm sure when Valve starts showing the game, the first thing they'll do is reveal whats on Kotaku. This would be like people afraid of a MGS4 news story that says Snake is the main character. STFU pussies.

You've got to be kidding me, Portal 2 is going to have a portal gun? I'm not even going to bother playing it now, it's ruined.

I was all like "pfft, casting information, can't be that big a spoiler" so i read it, and now i'm like "oh, yeah, that's kind of a big spoiler" although, it's not really a big shock, its more or less what i'd expect from Portal 2's story now that I think about it.

Bleh. I can already tell just by seeing the title of this that it's going to be GlAdOs or GlAdoS 2.0 or something. I pray I'm wrong though.

i don't get the whole spoiler thing, knowing awesome things that happen in awesome games, or shitty things happen in shitty games arn't going to make them any more/less awesome/shitty.

knowing/not knowing never changes my experience with movies/games/tv i don't understand people whining about this at all

I get it. It's a spoiler.

No but seriously, thanks for not spoiling it for us, if it is indeed as severe as you make it seem.

I didn't even read the comments just in case some cuntfaced brown star posted a spoiler.

On the bright side, I just added cuntfaced to Firefox's spell check dictionary.

Yes, SNAKE. Not Snape! That's the ending of MGS 4. Ha.

yaisuah: There actually is a pretty big spoiler in the form of the nature of the character.

Although it's pretty similar to GLADOS.

It's not much of a spoiler. Sequel is a prequel, big surprise. Also the last thing Portal needs is another game, so I don't really care.

I seriously can't believe people think this is a big spoiler. It's nothing more than a character in the game, and it's surely not worse than knowing that GLaDOS was a psychotic computer before playing Portal 1.

Spoilers: The new character has a Southern accent. OMG! THE GAME IS RUINED!

@Necros

Some people actually like to fully experience a game without previously knowing information about the story/characters/etc. It's a pretty wild idea, I know.

I read it. It's not too big of a spoiler, me thinks. You would think they'd have to do something like that for the sequel.

It seems most people don't even know what Spoiler MEANS.
Ok in Darth Vader being Lukes father, BIG ASS SPOILER.
Darth Vader is in Star Wars? NOT A FUCKING SPOILER.
That's exactly whats going on here. Snake and Darth Vader are the new characters in Portal 2 FUCK YOU.

It's a spoiler in the sense that knowing ahead of time that Lucy would pull the football away at the last second is a spoiler.

Ace of Knaves, NO. Its like knowing CHARLIE BROWN IS IN CHARLIE BROWN ahead of time. What is with you people. THIS IS NOT A SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, it was directed to nobody in particular and it was in place of the actual spoiler I've been dying to tell to all the cry babies, cuz its not actually spoiler. I'm being that nice at least. Oh, and Alexradl, FUCK YOU.

Dude. Yaisuah. Calm the FUCK down.

The page specifically reveals that the man in question will eventually BETRAY YOU. Sorry for posting it in the comments, but how is THAT NOT A SPOILER?
yaisuah's Avatar - Comment posted on 06/10/2008 23:30

Deiga, don't come on here flat out LYING, and expect me to calm down! NOWHERE, does it say he betrays you. Hes made out to be the bad guy too, so even if they did say he betrays you, wouldn't that be quite obvious?. Quit making stuff up and using the word spoiler.

I'm just making this comment to keep the previous one off the front page since it contains part of the spoiler. By the way, that is an incredibly awesome Av, deiga.

Brahms is the perfect example of the spoiler fairies around here. If you take what I say, and if what I said is true, the only thing in my post that was related to the "spoiler' is the word "bad guy" (the betray you part is not true and said by deiga, the true attempted spoiler revealer in these comments). You proved my point to the extreme brahms, good job.

Whats the BIG commotion, sure this is bad, but don't you guys remember wht happened with HL2 when the game code got leaked? The game DID get delayed, but valve made sure the final product was outstanding and not a spolier was relesed before hand, the likelyhood of a step like this being done with the script of portal 2 is now ceain, for all we know, the script now has the potential to become even better thanks to the probable delay, if this was game code leaking out, then and only THEN, would I be pissed, oh and yaisuah, no offence but you really do make yourself ou to be a idiot, please dont bring the hate, its not 'cool'. it's not 'hip' and just gets you grief and you look like a little child in front of every DTIOD regular, not to mention a possibile ban, so y'know, chillout, everyone can get along, without the uneccessary name calling,ok?

i think the comment on the "spoiler" was a little overdone. It still piques my interest.

Deiga, you proved me right, it doesn't say he betrays you, thanks. What if you BETRAY him, nobody knows, cuz IT DOESNT SAY HE BETRAYS you, quit putting in words that didn't exist.

Mushman: Believe it or not, looking smart or stupid or being cool is not a goal for me, that should be obvious. I just say things the way I see it and I do know everything I say has plenty of intelligence behind it and in this case, I wasn't wrong. Last night I was high on Pepsi Max as well, so I'll just sue Pepsi if I get a ban.
