A changelog and a new acheivement. Steam is lighting up with claims that the morse code confirms HL2 Ep 3 for Q4 2010. Others hear faint sounds of HL2 related stuff. Interesting. Time shall tell.

Changelog:

- Changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum manage

Overheal

The radio, in the Starting room Radio?!

It doesnt play that crazy latino version of Still Alive anymore?

cherryghost

it does, but if you bring it outside into the next room it starts playing morse code...

cherryghost

well apparently the morse code is rubbish, but what images are processed from the sound bites are far more interesting:






People still solving them as we speak. If you manage to get the radio to next level onwards, it plays a different morse code in each room

cherryghost

seems its not just morse code.

but looks like the pictures are pointing towards Portal 2


EDIT: Sound bytes are here

cherryghost

/gives up

theres too much theory floating around now.

reverse sounds from the radio saying 'You're next!', links to Babel Research, blablabla...

nn folks, hope i wake up to some sort of HL2EP3/Portal Hybrid game announced :P

Why do they have to use a US only BBS number

Here's a post from the Steam forums documenting the riddle-solving process so far (I didn't copy-paste it here in case anyone wants to have a crack at solving it themselves - good luck to you ):

Mind-blowing levels of complexity...

Nehaxak

oooh I recognise some of those sounds, SSTV transmissions maybe ?

Burgo

for anyone with google wave,
here's a list of pretty much everything.

Nehaxak

I just need the raw soundfiles and I could do the rest

We should start an online petition to get them to use one of the many fine euro-zone bbs's or perhaps a netural zone like Russia if they liked that better.

Aren't Aperture going to be a big part of Half Life Episode 3?

Perhaps this is Ilovebees for that?

God damn I love Valve for this... playing it safe by putting it in spoilers but play through the whole game and you'll see it, if you're too lazy, its below

New ending, Chell gets dragged off by some unseen robot

Was another Portal update this evening.

jonnybadd

Aye, it was the thing mentioned in my post above.

Any other game makes take note, this is how to build up hype.

It's official now, it's Portal 2.
