BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! Are you fucking kidding me? How can companies like Free Radical Design develop a game like Haze for the PS3 and Codemasters can put out shit like Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust, but Valve can't put one stinking game on the PS3? Uh oh, here it comes!

Well since people think HL2 is the best game ever, and Valve the best developer ever.. it must be true!

valve is the laziest most over hyped game company ever.
it takes them 10 years to make terrible games. Also who's actually excited for L4d2 its exactly the same as the first one.

@king zetta

Wow. I have the exact opposite opinion of your generic, avatarless self. Valve and Blizzard are two of the few companies I would trust my babies with. Just about everything they make manages to be fantastic.
Though the PS3 thing is kinda funny.

I really don't care about Valve anyways. I have plenty of other good shit to play.

Oh and I almost forgot. Valve = PussyMotherFuckers

Way to fuel the stupid console fanboy war Valve.

@PappaDukes

Do you actually believe anything you just said, or are you really just that bitter? The PS3 platform is obviously a market they are not interested in pursuing. It's a business decision. The obviously don't see it as a worthwhile investment. Should they start developing for the DS and the PSP or the Macintosh or Linux environments? There's money to be made there, but I suppose, using your logic, that they are just too damn lazy to do any such thing.

lol Oh and another thing. Uncharted2, Infamous, Killzon2, GOW3, Heavenly Rain, The Last Guardian > anything Valve creates.


The reason why Valve wants to stay in their comfort zones is because it cost alot of money to develop for a new system thats different from a PC. They want to keep their profit margin high.

@JACK of No Trades

Huh. Only one of those games have you ever played. You're really driving your point home. Good work.

Why is there never a stink when a someone clearly favours the PS3? As far as I'm concerned, Sony's lucky developers are so madly in love with them they take their crap in stride. Does anyone honestly think that the PS3 couldn't possibly have pushed out equal or better graphics with a more powerful conventional architecture? Would've saved Sony's proprietary lovin' ass tons of money, and at the Cell's price they could've gotten something that looked a lot like the 360 but much more powerful. That would mean definitive hardware advantage that could be shown much quicker and would result in a faster development cycle etc. Sony are so busy making something that they can sell as proprietary hardware they consistently make things needlessly complicated for themselves and others. It's either poor, tunnel-vision business, or just really selfish. I understand how poorly "selfish" applies to a company but honestly, the games division needs to stop with proprietary hardware like the Cell. You aren't some general hardware division, you're the games division, and trying to stuff the PS3 with something you intend to sell around rather than giving it something that's best for Playstation is just a bad decision. The Cell's beginning to turn to boon, the 360 isn't blown away yet, and as far as I'm concerned, a processor so much more complicated turning out such marginally improved product after more than 2 and a half years is poorly designed. The Cell is supposed to be a tool and not an obstacle.

Does it make sense to make games for the PS3 if you don't want to bother with the development? Perhaps thats the real question. If enough PS3 owners also have Xbox 360's, then they will simply buy it on the other console. Your basically spending development time for gamers who don't own a PC capable of running the game, which L4D didn't have that crazy of requirements, and also don't own an Xbox 360. Which makes you wonder what they were doing between Xbox1/PS2 era and the release of the PS3 =/

Why waste time catering to such a small population?

@the Golden Avatar

Thanks, im glad I could convince you.

So everyone else on planet earth figured it out but valve can't.

I'd rather they just come out and say they just don't like the PS3 as saying stuff like that just makes them look like idiots.

If they wouldnt use a game engine that's old as fuck, they might be able to make games for the PS3

I don't think anyone truly believes that Valve's excuse is legitimate. What is questionable is the reason they give: that the PS3 architecture is too complex. Surely, when other developers can create decent PS3 games, why shouldn't Valve be able to as well? Valve's comment only serves to make them look inept, which I'm sure many of you would agree, just isn't true.

This sites userbase has really taken a turn for the worst. It used to just be Sadistic or Lemon trolling about, but PappaDukes is a great example of the trash talking fanboys that have invaded this site.

Just glad I own my Playstation360 and can ignore all this BS

Third degree burrrrrrrrn

Sucks for people who don't own a 360 or a game-worthy PC, Valve makes good games. It would be nice if Valve would contract a studio to port the games a la The Orange Box, except hire someone who cares and won't just churn it out like EA.

Also, theres a lot of wharrgarble in these comments.

@PappaDukes

"How is this acceptable for any company to say let alone Valve."

Do you live in the real world? Every company does this all the time.

Ye gods, there truly are some of you that make me weep for the future of humanity. So they can't be arsed to fuck around with what they see as needlessly overcomplicated architecture? It's not a case of 'they can't figure it out' or 'their tech's out of date' or even 'they hate the PS3'. Valve are PRIMARILY PC developers - and always have been. If the PS3's hardware was as close to that groundbase as the 360's, then I've no doubt that they'd be doing stuff for Sony's beastie as well; seeing as it isn't, it makes sense for them to focus on what they know best.

Some of you really need to take the fanboy goggles off for five fucking minutes and THINK about the garbage you're spouting.

Valve is a great developer, I love their games (probably all of them) but I think:
1. They're too lazy to learn how to program to the cell platform (which is understable)
2. Microsoft is paying them zillions for the exclusivity (which is more than understandable)
3. They're Xbox 360 Fanboys (wait... wat?)

Grrrrr...there are some comments in here that make me want to bite fucking faces off. Paraparaking is the only one I'll namecheck though. Your ignorance is fucking painful, mate. Learn some stuff.
