I remember joking about this in the Steamtoid chat before EUFNF and agreeing it was a sign of the apocalypse. Now if Portal 2 is held back as it is expected to be for the next two years till 2012 then we could all be genuinely screwed.
Pretty funny that MS never arranged something like this considering their ties to the PC. I guess they are committed to keeping the Xbox closed off and ignoring the PC. I'm assuming there is still no modding though, so I'll stick with the PC version.
Yeah, this was a huge (but very welcome) surprise! The whole "steamworks" thing may also lead to interesting stuff in the future.
Good news. Everyone should be able to play Portal 2. But I must confess that I was hoping for a bit more from Valve's "surprise".
This... I did not expect.. at least not in 10 years... WOOOOW.
and to claim that Portal 2 will look best on the PS3 than anywhere else by the main developer. wow just wow.
Gabe went from ZERO to HERO!

This was for me the biggest surprise of E3, freaking Newell at the SONY pressser, was pure shock. Like KOJIMA appearing at the MS briefing last year. In the long run it's not that big a deal, but it totally caught me off guard. Which the 360 slim would have done had it not leaked.
Gonna say it now, BEST SURPRISE OF E3!!! When the lights dimmed and I heard GLaDOS' familiar voice I jumped out of my chair and screamed. When Gabe said the best version was going to be on the PS3, I nearly passed out from confusion. What fucking bizzarro world is this?
He seemed really nervous and almost sorry for saying mean things about PS3. I dunno, I think he just feels bad for being a bitch to Sony for son long.

He didn't say it would look best, just be the best version because of Steamworks functionality.
I'm betting they would have but those functions on 360, but MS didn't want them on their precious network.

I broke this story months ago!!!
Well it was more like copy/pasta of a magazine cover from another site but still!!!
I had a feeling it was legit when they pulled the picture I linked to.
Cool for PS3 owners, Valve games should not be missed by anyone.
The rest of Sony's keynote didn't do much for me.
Good luck getting people to buy into that subscription service.
...and I was disappointed with Move, that's like $200 for 2 Sony Move Wiimotes and 2 Sony Nunchuks + camera.

Damn right! I'm excited for Portal 2 but I'm most excited about steam coming to the PS3. Could this lead to L4D and other games on PS3? I surely hope so.
I was expecting a video or something when I heard GlaDOS. But Gabe in person?! Hell no. Didn't see that coming!
It sounds like Microsoft brought this on themselves. Sony made a brilliant move in snatching them up. Though I suppose it isn't too difficult a situation to rectify if MS chooses.
It's pretty damn sad that this happened(stay with me here).
VALVe founders Gabe Newell and some-other-guy, are what is known as "Microsoft Millionaires" and had such a close relationship with Microsoft. So for them to go to their competitor because MSFT forces them to charge for what VALVe essentially wants to give away for FREE, speaks bounds about how Microsoft has just gotten it so wrong.
I can't believe I'm saying this but it looks like I will have to make my future VALVe purchases ...for PS3! *HEAD ASPLODE*

PS3 seems to be getting alot of love in the last few posts, so i guess it's time for me to give my big black box some lovin' too.
I find it funny that now PS3 fans love Valve now that Portal 2 is coming out on the PS3. It was also funny when he said "...the best console version." He still knows that PC is the best version. :P
That aside, I really wonder what exactly made him do a 180 on the PS3. That whole "Steam Cloud" on the PS3 is really interesting. Custom maps? Mods? Achievements, sorry "Trophies" transfer to Steam? Talk Gabe!

I have a playstation 3 but this still kinda pisses me of. I own almost every valve game for the 360 and its my most preferred console, they've seriously got to stop switching favorites like this....also I was expecting episode 3!
so this was valves "suprise?" AH
still tho. ps3 owners deserve to play this game as much as anybody else.

Fucking steam cloud, I'm psyched! I always loved how my laptop and desktop synced automatically, hopefully steam will show my portal 2 trophies as steam achievements.
I can't wait for some Fanboy Friday. It's gonna be some good console war trash talk up in dis bich! Someboy needs to make a Photoshop of the Marvel civil war "who's side are you on?" and put Gabe on Iron man and Kojima on Captain America.

It's ok Gabe, I aint even mad at'chu. When you said those mean things like you did, it hurt me a little inside, but I stuck wit'chu because youda one who made HalfLife2 -- and that is a mighty fine game. [funky music starts] But now that you showin love to my console of choice, well -- I just had to sing this song....

Ah, the first step. I'm completely happy about this announcement, but I still gotta admit that I was hoping that the Left 4 Dead series would come to PS3 (mainly because my computer is shite and I REALLY wanna play it). But hey, who am I to bite the hand that feeds? I'll take whatever I can get from Valve.
If there is some way that they can have the games you bought on steamworks, on the pc, to be able to play on the ps3, like on the mac, that would be fucking mind blowing.
