![Valve grabbed some Naughty Dog devs [Corrected] photo](http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/166931-poached_egg_in_pot.JPG)
While all out confirmation that Valve is starting to really develop for the PS3 hasn't come down the line yet, we've heard enough from people at the company to know that it is. At some point we're going to see a Valve game that is fully developed by Valve on the PS3. It is going to happen and it looks like they're taking it seriously as well. A few years back they went out and grabbed some of the top employees from Naughty Dog's development team, and we all know how well Naughty Dog does PS3.
The hires include Vitaliy Genkin, Alex Vlachos, and Elan Ruskin. It's not hard to conclude that they were brought on to help Valve better develop for whatever game they're making for the PS3. As with everything Valve does, it doesn't look like they'll be half assing their PS3 games at all. Guess we can have one more great gaming company on the PS3.

Hi-5
Also, my favourite eggs are scrambled on buttered slices of thick white bread and streaky bacon on top. Just in case someone wants to make me breakfast sometime...
You know, whether it's gonna be for ports or new IPs, the Naughty Dog guys seem to be the right pick.
I just said _I_ didn't need it, I'm sure someone will appreciate Valve games on PS3. But unless Valve start supporting console games better after launch, it's best on PC, and that's where I'm playing it.
Another possible reason for the hires: maybe they just want especially gifted programmers, and it has nothing to do with the PS3.

May use the Arc. Who knows?!
Om-nom-nom-nom :3
Best of luck to those devs and may the good games keep flowing out in abundance from these two awesome companies.
Oh, and Valve games are best on PC... But since my PC sucks and I'm tight on money I'll greatly appreciate Ep. 3, Portal 2 and Left 4 Dead 3 potentially coming to the PS3 along were other titles.
And curse this site for having me read it as 'Ekan' Ruskin, lol
Either way this is all good news. The more people that get to play the games, the better.
Tomorrow, the world.
How is this news?
I bet all those "Shitty games" that PS3 fanboys said they don't want tainting their magical black box are suddenly not as shitty anymore.
Sorry, going to have a joygasm. Be back later.
soon world domination will be theres! somehow...
They never worked on Uncharted 2.
Hey now, they might still have some experience on the PS3 requirements. Remember it was EA's own department who worked on the port.
I AM OUTRAGE!
im down for a L4D PS3 re-make but Valve is capable of so much more, especially with some great Naughty Dog devs
You should take responsibility for your mistake and update the story with the original article still in tact. Quietly editing the story and blaming the time of day for your lack research and lazy news piggybacking is unprofessional.
Were they waiting for a special tax break before creating one job for Microsoft's competition?
