Rumors have been swirling as to the exclusivity of Valve's upcoming team-zombie-shooter, Left 4 Dead. In its latest edition, Official PlayStation Magazine claimed a PS3 version of the game was in the works by an internal team at Electronic Arts -- distributors of Valve retail products. Attempting to confirm or debunk the rumor IGN contacted Valve's Doug Lombardi who quickly shot down the rumor, "there is no PS3 version of Left 4 Dead currently in production."
Could it still happen? Sure. But as it stands it looks like Xbox 360 fans will have exclusive console rights to the anticipated shooter. That means we'll all have to deal with it being called a worthless exclusive and subpar shooter until it is confirmed for the PS3 and then have it be claimed as one of the best and biggest exclusive losses since ... oh I don't know, Final Fantasy XIII comes to mind. Just saying.

To the other guys who were probably watching me speak my opinions and thought it twas your time to come in and rebel and talk shit about the 360, I got two words for you: grow up.
To the guys who owned all 3 right after I said it, its highly unbelievable if you talk down on 360 so much and praise PS3 and not even mention Wii. Saying you own all THREE and continuously pointing out ONE system still makes you a fanboy. I think you guys don't even have a three, you use that as a ploy to not be called a fanboy.
Anyway this thread ended when Xav who explained the final statement in the article did what he did.
Back to L4D, it looks like RE and DR with extra goodies. Its a must have for my 360 and I may get it for my PC.

Yeah.. I'm a prick for telling someone who posts continuous negative comments on a board to leave so he doesn't aggravate anyone else on this thread. Nobody should care about the statement anyways.. it's trivial and just a little joke to all the things I guarantee you have been said towards the 360. Anyways..
Left 4 Dead is going to be one helluva shooter. I need to go reserve it sometime soon. Been reading up on it a lot.
Not really sure which platform I want it for though.. I'll probably end up with the 360 version anyway.

Except you did attack the 360. The blog that was posted was to tell us that the hardcore PS3 fans would say this game is a wash up and wouldn't even want it until it was on their console. When you post things that are COMPLETELY relevant to that, then it honestly doesn't matter if you are a fanboy or not.

"i found tone in this article dumb.ps3 owners doesn't even care about this game.it looks dumb and game play seem wash up.Sony had fall of men 2,Microsoft had gears 2 those are the only 2 shooters that are at the top of people list.this game is truly a sading.i wish they would had just cancel it and made half life 2 eps 3 and half life 3 instead."
Prove the point. Loser.
It's true, PS3 owners do try and take a game down when it's not on their system. Quite, quite pathetic.
It's about time you guys just accepted that Sony is going to slowly die more and more over the next 10 years and MS will become the dominant console manufacturer. It's going to happen, it's only a matter of time - deal with it.
