Left 4 Dead not coming to the PlayStation 3, guaranteed this time! photo
     PS3

Just in case you haven't heard, Valve's long-awaited zombie FPS Left 4 Dead is not coming to the PlayStation 3. Ain't no way, no how. Valve's Chet Faliszek has finally put paid to the rumor that L4D is coming to the PS3 with his definitive statement that will put a stop to the discussion once and for all.

"Many people say that they heard rumors that Left 4 Dead is coming to PS3, however despite telling them this isn't true they still don't believe us, what more can we say than it is not," stated Chet.

Well, that's that then. I am sure we will never, ever, ever, ever hear about L4D on the PS3 again. After all, once a story is denied, that story goes away until there's a real development. Wait ...

Just last night I had to beat someone off with a stick and tell them L4D wasn't going to be on the PS3. I am a PS3 owner, needed my zombie slaying fix.

Good one less crappy port of the PC game on consoles.

Cube, don't start this argument. This game will be just as much fun on the 360 as it is on the PC. Trust me, I played it at PAX.

Considering the game will likely need a full overhaul to even be playable for more than a week, it's probably for the best. Can get rather boring as all the maps just loop.

I can't wait for a new official announcement that the game IS headed to PS3. It seems to change every few weeks.

I bet you that if the PS3 was white, Valve would make games for it. True fact.

Whatever, I'll be too busy playing all the other great PS3 games to care. If the craptastic port of Orange Box was any indicator, no thanks.

Why would you want a fast paced fps on the PS3 anyway, it's a blu-ray player, not a games machine.

It's coming out on systems other than PC?

After the Team Fortress 2 DLC debacle, I would never, EVER play a Valve game on a console.

I know its not Valve's fault, but still PC is the best for Orange Box and Left 4 Dead.

As I understood it it was EA who would to the port or not, if they wanted to or not, and there's really nothing valve can do about it now that there EA's bitch.

I love Valve's games, but they make terrible business decisions.

Lol @ you all.

Your telling that to the company who created steam, then proceed to say that games were overpriced, complete with the sales figures to back them up.
