Let's recap. First, the survival horror zombie hotness known as Left 4 Dead was "confirmed" to be an Xbox 360/PC exclusive. This hit about the same time as the rumor that it was actually coming to the PS3, though this was shot down by Valve's Doug Lombardi who says "There is no PS3 version of Left 4 Dead announced, nor in development. Not sure how that got started." Then in May, it all seemed pretty final when Valve said that they are "not PS3 developers." They may not be, but EA is. According to a little blurb in the Official PlayStation Magazine, Left 4 Dead is coming to the PS3, with Electronic Arts taking on the development duties. See, we just needed someone to think outside the box! PS3-only owners, what do you say? Thank the nice developer! [Thanks, Action Bastard]

Well that's good. With my PC running like poop (along with a lack of XBL eFriends), it's pretty spiffy that it's coming to the PS3.
Aren't EA the guys who screwed up the Orange Box port to PS3?
Good luck with that.
Cool, but I'm still planning on getting it for the PC.
Good old EA, forcing Valve to make them as much money as possible. Oh well, at least this works out for PS3 owners' benefit.
@ RJG
The Orange Box port had some minor framerate issues, but I hear those have been resolved by now.
Lets just hope that it turns out better than the ps3 version of The Orange Box...don't f this one up EA
@RJG
yep. I find it funny how Valve just doesn't want to work on the PS3 period.
Thank you EA.
I guess...?
fuck that guy from valve, he's now said derogatory comments about sony yet the games came out on it. he's got some major fanboy going on in his head.
Wow, pretty cool thinking about getting this now.
I guess Kaz Hirai is going to have to take a bullet to the head.
@Qraze
it's not up to Gabe Newell if his games come out for the PS3, it's up to the publisher. He has said numerous times how he feels like the PS3's architecture is shit, and he's made good on that being that Valve has never developed a game for the PS3. The Orange Box was developed by EA UK and the same thing is happening here. If it was up to him, The Orange Box probably wouldn't have come out on the PS3. It's all EA.
wow, and me thinking here that EA wouldnt give a shit cuz they kinda prefer xbox dev (easier) over ps3 (alienlife coding) to make the quickest buck (idk why but I see PEter Moore somewhere in the bg)
I might buy it, depends on how good it is.
What the hell is Left 4 Dead.
It better not be another gay car driving game.
DONT TURN LEFT, ITS FOR DEAD!
this is the best news i've heard all day, this was one game (being only a ps3 owner) that i really wanted.
didn't think i'd say this, but thanks EA
I didn't get the orange box till a few months ago but I suppose that there were supposed to be frame rate issues- though since I never played it on launch I never saw them- it seems like patches are pretty quick to roll out- like soulcalibur where I bought it on release day this week and there was a patch when it installed ...

heretic that was lame.
honestly I dont care about this game, I prefer RE5 and their poor people Manslaughter.
This isn't shocking... After all EA does like the idea of making money.
Awesome. Let's hope it's actually a good port this time.
So it's gonna have a Michael J. Fox framerate again? Hmmz.
From what I understand this was in the RUMOR section of OPM, therefore not confirmed.
@PEW
C'mon man, hahaha... thats just bad.
LOL @ Pew
if this delays me getting it for 360 in anyway... I'm gonna be pissed
Instead of caring what PS3 owners want they should focus on what 360/pc owners want: THE GAME NOW
Makes sense. Valve would dumb to not let EA develop L4D on PS3. Assuming they learn from their experience with Orange Box, I'm sure it will be a lot better. Devs are getting more and more comfortable with that machine. After 2 Xboxs went down with the ring, I'm starting to switch over to PS3 now...especially because there are finally some good games there. L4D is a great example of one.
@Falinter
So because you own a 360 and not a PS3 you think they should be doing you a favor. Get over yourself.
@dephect
Not doing us a favor, just releasing a 99% complete game instead of holding it back while EA deals with the quagmire of porting it to the PS3.
This game should have been out a Year and a half ago anyways
@CrapSh00t: They'll hold it until whenever they believe the best time to sell it is. Why do people think that release dates are for when the game is done?
I'm super excited now! Finally some zombie killing on the ps3.
This is pretty cool. Now I'm gonna have to check out previews to see if it'll even be a worthwhile zombie game. ONLY TIME CAN TELL!
Thanks! Hope it doesn't suck.
awesome news!
I sure hope it's as good at the OB port! :D
EA is going to F it up....no doubt about it
Also I bet we can expect loads of free content after launch!
Yeah, I'll stick with PC.
Hmm, I really wanted this game, I was just praying my pc would be able to run it... I also have a ps3 and passed up on The Orange Box for it, and instead got it for my pc. I have to put it on very low graphics, but oh well. Here's to hoping 512 mb of ram will be enough for Left 4 Dead because I know the ps3 version will be shit. Hell, Orange Box for the 360 is shit =/
As long as they do it justice, I don't care. I don't care anyways, cause I'll be getting it on PC.
I just got Orange Box for the 360 through Goozex, I love trading games, and I like it. I finished Portal, cool game, and I am about 2 chapters into Half-Life 2. It's pretty good so far.
This is good news for me. I enjoyed the PS3 version of Orange Box a lot despite all the technical problems.
This is awesome news. I've been drooling over this game for a while now.
Also, for all of you saying the PS3 Orange Box sucks, it doesn't. I picked it up a week ago, and I've been playing through it constantly. Throughout all the games I've played, I've only encountered one single framerate drop the entire time. Portal also ran absolutely perfectly, despite reports of it being "unplayable" on the PS3.
I am very confident about this PS3 port working absolutely fine.
Yeah, Portal was the most stable game on the OB for PS3 IMO. It ran perfectly for me. And I encountered only one framerate drop in EP.1 as well.
Ya the Orange Box for the PS3 was not bad, though I hate EA, I hate Valve even more well specifically Newbie or whatever the hell that guys name is, the fat one.
EA is really picking up its game as far as the PS3 is concerned. I am semi interested in this game and am glad someone is picking it up.
Gabe Newell doesnt like the ps3... he has said "the ps3 is a waste of everyones time".
so yeah, the porting job is up to EA.
They didn't do such a good job with Orange Box, but I still appreciate them doing what those douchebags at Valve aren't doing, so I guess it all works out.
Gabe Newell hates the PS3 because he knows his crappy FPS games won't sell well on it because if a console game wants to play a crappy FPS, he'll buy a 360.
If a gamer wants to play a Good FPS, he'll play it on PC.
@Aurain
Yeah, PS3 owners would rather play 'good' FPS games like Haze...
@Spore
Yeah, they sure do, that's why it sold so well. *rolls eyes*
I just want the game in my grubby paws.
I thank EA. The team has more experience now, the port will be better.
*Thumbs up*
Very happy about this news.
Sweet! Of course, now I have to go read up on the game...I'd been completely ignoring it because I knew it was a PC/360 exclusive, and I only have a PS3.
When I read that EA had the most profit from PS3 a few days ago I know this was coming
Thanks EA
Good news. I'll be picking it up I think. Ill probably get both the PC and the PS3 versions like I did with orange box and what I plan on doing for bioshock.
oh god damn i love EA now, i didn't buy the orange box because of the problems... But it seems that EA has patched all the issues away, which seems promising for this port
another game that i might have to get then :D
If it's like Orange Box on PC, it'll be just as gimped as the 360 version.
yeah i saw this coming a mile away.
money money money money....MONEY!
Same as Samit. I a wa a bit interested in the title, but haven't thought about it because of it's PC/360 exclusivity. That was nice of EA.
It's obvious that EA cares more about money than it's fans. Consider this one less game sold EA.
@F Whipple
I hate to break it to you, but thats how most companys are... EA just doesnt care to hide it.
@F Whipple: If you were going to buy it before this rumor started, and now you aren't, you are no better than those douchey ps3 fanboys who bitched about square making FFXIII for 360.
@brainderailment
That parody was what I was going for. I didn't think there were enough idiot fanboy comments here. As it is I'm excited for this news as I'll probably get a ps3 over a 360.
AIR-MAZING!!!
Thank you EA!
I honestly thought I'd never say that.
If it's like Orange Box on PS3, it'll be just as gimped as the 360 version.
I used to like valve...they made some of my favorite games, but their needless hating on the PS3 is just unacceptable.
Oh, and cocks...
This is awesome news. I loved Orange Box and I don't own an Xbox360 so this really makes me happy. I'll trade some FFXIII for Left 4 Dead any day of the week!
Valve is a PC developer by nature and I think the only reason why there is a 360 version is because the code can be quite similar for both...
Still, money says the PC version of this game will be the one to own, just like the PC version of the OB games...
Why isn't this labeled as Rumortoid?
I'll be getting this :-)
Buckf1tches: Because it was confirmed, apparently.
Good news!
I guess I will have to see how it runs on the PS3 as I had it all planned out to have it on my PC but I would rather have it on my PS3 because I will have to see how it runs on the PS3 as I had it all planned out on my PC but would rather have it on my PS3.
Filler FTW!
This is the time to ask for mod support!!!
Or at least for custom maps, I bet there's gonna be a ton of awesome maps on the PC version.
Everyone understands by now that gabe newell is a fat idiot and a dyed-in-the-wool microsoftie, right? THAT'S the reason Valve doesn't develop for PS3 themselves, not because he thinks the hardware is "shit." Though of course he's going to say that because never been out of the microsoft bubble.
Remember, this is the idiot who loves microsoft crap so much that he had his company's network hacked because they were running BETA microsoft code. I wouldn't trust microsoft shit if it were v10.5 and final.
it big fat idiot!
You guys realize this is posted in the RUMOR section of OPM right?..
RUMOR Section XD
