Valve 'up' on idea of PS3 development, waiting to build talented PS3 team

They can always snatch coders from Guerilla Games or Insomniac...

I have a question....if they were survivors in a zombie apocalypse, and they had to face hordes and hordes of zombies....wouldn't their weapons be modded with more capacity for ammo, with maybe a bayonet on the end, high power uv flashlights, and powerful laser sights? those stock shotguns need to be reloaded quite often...

It's great that Newell is now acting sad that he admittedly screwed over PS3 owners of the Orange Box.

It's one thing to release a bad port, it's another to just abandon it like they did. Especially when the PS3 has such great potential.. they could have done great things with mods like UT3.

Come on. I'm getting sick of these rumours and all this screwin around tryin ta torture everyone! Valve says its too hard and they don't wanna waste the time developing for the PlayStation 3. This is a publicity stunt. Eh... Valve will be long done with Left 4 Dead I think by the time they finally develop for the PlayStation if EVER! Look at Electronic Arts. Electronic Arts has a partnership with Valve. Electronic Arts anyday could send its PS3 team is SKILLED! Have you seen Dead Space or the NHL games? There's skill in EA. I don't know about this. I think Valve is still just gonna whine and complain. Worthless. Get outta here. We don't want ya anyway. We don't want anyone that can't appreciate the tech of the PlayStation 3. Don't waste your time, and ours.

Ya know, Joystiq could take this same approach. Say, man, ya know. We could hire some more Editors that have interest in the PlayStation 3, cause with Joystiq, all it is, is hammer on the PlayStation 3. It falls short here, its got problems there. WELL JOYSTIQ, ITS YOUR FAULT! Every time you talk down the PlayStation 3, more and more gamers stear away from it. Game developers aren't gonna take the time to develop for something there's no interest in. The PlayStation has had a rough start, but that's fixed, its entirely dependant on Developers sucking it up and working hard to develop a quality looking game. But they aren't gonna do that, if YOU and other Media sites, look at all the negative that are fixable simply by changing a developers attitude, which isn't going to happen, until gamers change there's which starts with you! Have you given up sinse you've brainwashed them enough. I used to be them. I used to hate Sony because I was led to believe by IGN, Joystiq and Gamspot that it was junk. I never wanted one of my precious 360 games ported to the PlayStation 3 until, I finally saw a PS3. Played it and gave it some time to understand it. Now, any game PlayStation 3 can get IS GREAT! So long as developers aren't lazy and develop a quality version. Of course developers aren't gonna sell a game if they half-ass the job. Build a quality game, and they'll buy.

maybe they can get some coders that can code actual sense of running in their games as opposed to just sliding a camera angle through a room.

That's good news, because I really want Left 4 Dead 2 on my PS3 :).

What ever happened to the PS3 being a waste of time? I hate this douche bag.

Valve developing decent games for the PS3.
Kojima developing for the 360.
All these celebrities dying (the stars will fall to the earth).

Anyone think the apocalypse is coming?

If it means some games by an awesome developer on the ps3 bring it on! But I think most people understand that valve games are always best on pc.

As a 360 owner I hope they get L4D. It's a quality game


Plus they can deal with all a-holes who gave up playing the game as intended since they are bored with it that then turn around and complain when Valve announces L4D2.

Well, if they are going to develop and release a PS3 version,
I would definitely import(buy) it ! :D

If this leads to Portal 2 on my PS3, I'm all for it.

I would just like to point out that he got the metacritic scores for PC and 360 right, but when it comes to PS3 he apparently doesn't even bother to check how his games are doing. The PS3 metacritic score for the orange box is an 89, not an 84. Five points difference on metacritic is actually a pretty big margin. Personally I believe he knew the score already and is still downtalking the PS3 without being obvious.

and I thought Valve was already talented.

the funny thing is i just got the orange box for ps3 and so far so good.

I would have preferred Portal on PS3 if it had been done right. For platformers and the like, the DualShock buttons work better in my opinion. It's about time Valve supports the PS3. Despite what the fanboys say, it's a worthy competitor to the 360.

Pardon me while I hold my breath...

This is the same company that was complaining about the PS3 not selling and being a complete failure when it came out and started outselling the 360 day-by-day almost (granted, that's not true since last Fall, but you get my point). I doubt they will honestly put forth an effort to make a PS3 game unless they happen to be able to port a 360/PC game with no effort whatsoever (which would make the PS3 version inferior instead of equal like it can be). I like Valve and all, but they can be completely full of shit sometimes.

Were's Pachter to say he predicted all of this?

Yo can joystick contact Valve and tell them not to waste there time. A lot of us won't touch any of there games after all the PS3 hate they've been giving in i nterviews

Well hopefully Valve gets on the ball and starts updating Team Fortress 2 for the PS3, I play that game almost everyday and enjoy playing it because it is such a good online multiplayer, but the lack of support from both Valve an EA are ridiculous. I'd pay for the updates for new weapons and maps. Epic does it for Unreal Tournamnet 3 why can't Valve do it for TF2?

translation: "We don't want to learn how to develop for the PS3 but there's money over there waiting so we are hiring people who know how to develop for the ps3 even if poorly so we can get revenues from these suckers." If you really want to give us a good experience you can look around for all the people who had their studios shut down this gen. and you will find plenty of capable people.

Valve has been in dire need of more talent in general (in the sense of them having more people), so if this is a good reason for them to expand, more power to 'em

I'm just wondering if this means anything for steam coming on mac but i honestly doubt it. (openGL is used for both mac/ps3)

I'm starting to get sick of Valve and it's love-hate statements about the PS3, shut up and make a f***ing game already!

It's been 3 years since the system came. Stop lying, if u dont have anybody u aint gettin nobody. the good guys were taken YEARS ago.

Galactic Football will be so cool on PS3 if some one who interested to make this game, can contact me. my email: edik009@hotmail.co.uk
