It looks like there won't be any Episode 2, Portal, or Team Fortress 2 this Christmas for you. In an interview with Eurogamer, Valve's Doug Lombardi confimed that the game is not going to make it to retail until February of next year:
Eurogamer: Originally you said you'd hoped to get it ready this year. Is there a particular reason you had to change that?
Doug Lombardi: No, it's just sort of classic Valve being overly aggressive on our dates. But we're aiming for Q1 right now and we're really far along in the playtest stage. You know, our thing is always that we're trying to make really good experiences and so we're going to manage to that rather than the schedule.[...]
Eurogamer: In terms of gameplay length, what are we looking at for Episode Two?
Doug Lombardi: For Episode Two the initial idea was that it was going to be the same size as Episode One but it's sort of meandering to be slightly longer. I don't think that it's going to end up being as big as Half-Life 2 but I think probably it'll end up being a little bit longer than Episode One was.
There are also a few scarce details about the pricing plans for Episode 2. Right now, Valve is planning to have a pricepoint for the PC version of the Episode 2, TF2, and Portal package set between $20 (Episode 1's price) and full retail ($50-$60). My guess would be around $30.
In case you missed it - there are a total of 5 different Episode 2 video clips (one, two, three, four, five) that are between 1 and 2.5 minutes long. They feature in-game footage of someone playing through several different areas. The Portal clip is a little over a minute and a half long and showcases a player conquering the puzzles of a particular level. And finally, the Team Fortress 2 video clip is definitely worth watching.
