Valve says no cake for you: Portal:Still Alive not coming to PSN photo

Sorry, Portal fans. It's likely you're too busy snuggling your plush companion cube to notice, but Valve has squelched the rumors that their upcoming title Portal:Still Alive will be coming to PSN in a recent CVG interview:

"I'd call that today's rumor," a Valve spokesperson told CVG when quizzed on the subject. Today's rumour, but tomorrow's news, we said. "You're smart to ask. But no," Valve told us.

If we're to believe what we are told then, Portal: Still Alive is truly an Xbox 360 exclusive. Considering that the game is merely a solo reissue of the original with some new levels that don't affect the story in any way, this would hardly break my heart if I only owned a 360, but you know the enthusiasts -- they have to have EVERYTHING. I'd scoff, but then again, I'm wearing Final Fantasy pajamas, so I may as well titter at my bathroom mirror.

[Thanks, Joe]

Valve not supporting the PS3. What a big fuckin' surprise that is.

Does Valve NOT like money? Why not just hire a team to do a PSN version? I'm pretty sure it would sell, um, cakeloads maybe?

The bonus content is supposedly hitting the PC eventually, right? I think the bonus content is a "timed exclusive" for the 360.

Well, Gabe Newell does hate the PS3, after. I'd hardly say PS3 fans were missing out, though. They can get a fully functioning version of Portal in the Orange Box; all they miss out on is buying the full game again digitally and getting more non-canon levels.

I really wish the levels were DLC on 360 by themselves.

It's the same exact game with like a couple new maps. I'm not disappointed by this at all.

This DLC has been available on PC, for free, for a while now.

Well it's not like I would go and pay $20 for a simple rehash of the game. And most likely it will be $20 since the Steam version of Portal is.

Ah, I just looked into it and found an article saying that it was no different from the PC.

When Still Alive was first announced a lot of people were wondering if the extra content was coming to PC since this was declared an "Xbox exclusive." So, it's not surprising that it isn't coming to the PS3 if it's already on PC. I think the industry really needs to adopt the use of "console exclusive" and "exclusive" to distinguish what they mean.

Also, thanks for clearing that up, Sharpless.

@Heretic

Is that so? Is that why they are ignoring the PS3 fanbase?

Is this supposed to be harsh, like his last few remarks about/centered the PS3? I can't tell, especially since this seems to be almost ignorant if it is.

Oh well. I wouldn't get this for my 360 since I have it on the PC anyhow.

Why does Valve hate the PS3 so much? They may not be a money-centered company, but I can't understand why they would purposely screw themselves out of a few million.

Well screw you too, Valve. On the bright side I can get this for free on PC right here: http://portalmaps.wecreatestuff.com/

As someone who only owns a PS3 (no 360 or gaming PC), this saddens me...but it doesn't surprise me. Gabe Newell hates the PS3 with a passion.

Gabe Newell has made a good game or two, but every time he opens his gob he acts like a complete prick. Portal I'll eventually play on my PC; Gabe Newell can lick me where I fuck and pee, far as I'm concerned.

you mean PS3, don't you?

also, late correction is late and I'm surprised no one pointed it out.

"if I only owned a 360" as in "only owned one system"

Who ever buys something they could easily make is an idiot.

It won't have any Glados or story. Just levels. At least from what I heard on Destructoid.
