As much as I enjoyed Portal, I would like to see what Valve does in HL3 (or ep. 3) in terms of combining gameplay elements from both games.

There is a HL2 mod that does just that and while it has its share of problems it is a blast to play.

I'd like to think so, but I guess Valve deems HL a more valuable IP and will use Portal as a testbed for mixing both types of gameplay. The lessons learned from a Portal game with shooter elements would be taken into account when making the next HL.

Probably the voice of the next computer, whatever that will be.
I doubt it's a prequel, which is what kotaku thinks.

When they say sidekick -> antagonist, that's basically the exact same thing that glados did in the first one.
:duh

It's not a computer, Cave Johnson is the guy who created Aperture Science. The first game never divulged his whereabouts, so the game doesn't have to be a prequel. It's possible Cave was the dude who drew all the directions and graffiti inside the courses.

PORTAL (VOICE OVER)
A new game in the Portal series
Portal is a dark comedy

The listing notes that he's deceased. Maybe his mind is on a computer?

How did I miss that, "Eccentric DEAD Billionaire".

I wish I could audition at that casting call.
