Portal 2 Free DLC

Hey Josh here giving you our first post with our new look profile and new logo.



So it looks like the people over at Valve just cant stop giving and are going to be releasing their first DLC for Portal 2 for free on all consoles. Valve have said the DLC will include:

  • New test chambers
  • Challenge mode
  • Leaderboards
  • New multiplayer modes
 This means we get to spend more time wondering how to solve a damn puzzle and feeling like a genius when you casually stroll through the doors at the end of the test and listen to whatever insult GLaDOS throws your way.

Now as for it being free Valve has said in the past they would like to release all DLC they create for free because they feel fans have paid for the game and its the least they can do. The only reason the previous DLC isn't free is because Xbox Live and PSN want to make more money so they put the price tag on. Valve has previously released DLC for Left 4 Dead for free which was a Survival game mode and a New Map. The reason Valve was able to release it for free is because it was a mode the initially wanted to include in the game but didn't have time so they gave it away when they finished it off.

So what do you guys think? Does this make you want to pick up a copy if you haven't already? Should more developers be releasing free DLC in order to attract more people to buy the game. Comments below.
