Breaking: Valve still hates the PS3!

In yet another absolute shocker, Valve has confirmed that it still has absolutely zero interest in Sony’s Black Box o’ Blu-ray, stating that Left 4 Dead isn’t coming to the PS3 simply because … well … nobody at Valve wants to have to port it over.

“We look at it as if we were customers of this product, how would we want to be treated and what sort of product would we want out of it?” explains Doug Lombardi. “We’ve run a couple of experiments over the years of PlayStation in general; we did Half-Life on PS2 with an outside company and then we did Orange Box PS3 with an outside company. We weren’t able to deliver the same type of product on PS3 and PS2 for that matter that we were on the 360 and PC.

“If you look at it as a matter of Valve doing it, Valve did the 360 and the PC version of the Orange Box and they both go 96 on Metacritic — The PS3 version was nowhere close to that. Left 4 Dead got an 89 or a 90 on 360 and PC … Until we have the ability to get a PS3 team together, until we find the people who want to come to Valve or who are at Valve who want to work on that, I don’t really see us moving to that platform.”

Don’t feel bad, PS3 fans. As Lombardi says, they’re really considering you in all this. By not porting Left 4 Dead to the PS3, they’re really saving you from playing an inferior product. If anything, Valve are heroes in all of this and you should really be thanking them. Sony fans, next time you’re in Seattle, send Valve a card and be bloody grateful for once in your lives!
