For people that don't know about this: If you want the unofficial Portal 3 check out Portal Reloaded. It's a crazy mod for Portal 2 with excellent puzzles, new mechanics and a really polished feel to it. It's probably as close as we are ever going to get to a Portal 3.

Maybe said character finds Chell in the field and helps release her (there's some speculation Chell never made it out, but was actually in some kind of biosphere based on some in-game hints).

Portal Reloaded was great but also quite complex compared to the first two games and I think most people who liked 1 and 2 would find it frustratingly difficult at times.

imo they should have injected the portal gun into half life 3 and carried it on from there, but I'm just some guy on the internet.

The mechanics of the gun almost demand an enclosed space, with flat surfaces and puzzles that require the player to understand that they're solving a puzzle. The portal gun would break the outside world too easily, as players figure out how to just zoom past everything, and not follow the linear path that FPSs like Half-Life guide towards. Testing surfaces for game breaks and boundary checks would be a QA nightmare. It doesn't kill enemies in any useful way, which is the primary function of a FPS weapon.
It is a puzzle gun, in a puzzle game. And that's okay.

Currently players can build testing chambers. It'd be cool if you could build entire complexes consisting of several chambers, with your own (optionally voiced) personality core running the tests. Then the base game could pick up between facilities and whisk you away to new testing places. Basically, make it easier for players to make their own full mods. Especially if you allowed custom hooks for your ins and outs between facilities.

That looks awesome. It would look a little out of place next to my other pinball machines, as they're vintage. But I'd still love it. I don't want to have to sell two watches to afford it, though. That's pretty expensive.
