[url=http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/15/portal-2-heading-to-playstation-3-with-steam-cloud-support/]Source[/url] [quote=joystiq]Wait, what? Yep, we're just as confused as you are, but Gabe Newell himself announced Portal 2 heading to PS3 with some form of Steam Cloud support in-tow. Weirder? He claims the "best version" will arrive on Sony's console. We've got about a million questions to ask and we'll be putting them to Valve this week, so keep an eye out. Oh, and also, there's a really fantastic trailer that we'll be grabbing for you as soon as possible. Sorry about the tease, but we felt you should know. Update: Valve has sent along a press release confirming Steamworks integration in the PS3 version -- the only console version featuring that functionality, actually -- providing the game with "auto updates, community features, downloadable content, and more."[/quote] Just a clarification, Gabe said the best console version would be on PS3, probably meaning it would have the Steamworks integration and take advantage of the superior hardware. The PC/Mac version will still be best (assuming you have a good computer). The surprise: [media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=b1YHKwMaXPg[/media] In depth: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQLpU0T-Sow[/media] PS: I'm not late. This was made within one minute of the announcement.
Why do I get the feeling that the valve is going to release more and more games until they eventually release ep3. by then we'll be pissed from all the waiting, and when we finally do play it, all the games valve has ever released will be tied into one and we'll be happy to have played all the previous games, because we now fully understand the story.
Win.
That... is the surprise? I am seriously dissapointed.
fuck I was hoping that wasn't what it was going to be.
God damnit. I expected something different. This is the first time I am quite disappointed with valve.
I was hoping for more PC related news.
Fucking episode 3...
Gabe is bipolar.
I was sort of dissapointed that it wasn't Episode 3, but that Portal 2 trailer was fucking incredible.
[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;22643311]No source yet, but ask anyone watching E3. Portal 2 is coming to PS3 and with it comes Steam. The Steam Cloud, the game-save syncing program comes to PS3. [B]Gabe also apologized and admitted the PS3 is good.[/B][/QUOTE] Sounds fake.
That was the fucking suprise?! well... [Media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFGfWrJR5Ck[/media]
Well I think Gabe is saying fuck you to Microsoft as he's teaming up with Sony and Apple. He's just doing this for the PS3 to rub it in Microsoft's face.
Oh my god yesyesyes! Steam for the PS3! Wait. This has nothing to do with Half-Life. I am disappointed. But still. Portal 2, and Gabe apologizing. Hell, call me a fanboy but I knew this would have to happen. And maybe L4D will also come to the PS3 after this. One can only hope.
[QUOTE=FoxMeister;22643461]Sounds fake.[/QUOTE] I've just watched it happen. It's true. [editline]09:36PM[/editline] No word on Episode 3 though.
Am I the only person who's happy about this? Plus, since it's the PS3, we could have keyboard and mouse support as well as mods, so...
Gabe's probably going to be all like: Oh yeah Episode 3 is coming soon. Then he'll leave. So badass.
VALVe needs to make a Steam Community app for the iPod/iPhone.
[QUOTE=Tattimatonen;22643596]Gabe's probably going to be all like: Oh yeah Episode 3 is coming soon. Then he'll leave. So badass.[/QUOTE] Remember, he operates under [url=http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time]Valve Time[/url]. According to the wiki, "coming soon" means "not soon enough." Which is not so bad as the old definition, "When Duke Nukem Forever goes gold."

I am dissapointed Gabe.I wanted to see Ep3.
[QUOTE=Murkrow;22643745]Steam cloud. Meaning remote savegame storage. Not steam.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't suprise me if they incorporated steam into PSN.
When you suddenly heard Glados voice I started giggle like a little girl.

[QUOTE=Oppy;22643927]Wouldn't suprise me if they incorporated steam into PSN.[/QUOTE] They wouldn't. PS3 already has a Digital distribution system.
:gbsmith: I feel ill after all that anticipation.
