"because the ps3 is still shit" would have been a shorter answer, and still the same message Valve always says straightforward or implies.

I'm glad that at least Valve gives a shit about the PC.
why dont you kids like the PS triple
Why L4D is not on the PS3: Valve just doesn't get it. Simple as that. It's not shit, it's that it's too complicated. Not many multiplat devs are patient enough and preach "business, business!" so they would rather not invest in time learning about how to develop for it the right way and either do it bad just to cash in on the PS3 players or don't do it at all. Plus, it shouldn't be. L4D is a PC game. Why would anyone play a VALVe game on a console? Dumbest idea ever.

Discounting the merits of either main console, making a game on PS3 is a financially unsound idea.
[QUOTE=Diet Kane;18227234]They're just jealous that PS3s don't RRoD.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure everyone has gotten used to the RROD. When i bought my 360 i knew i would get it sooner or later.
[QUOTE=jcallan;18227314]Discounting the merits of either main console, making a game on PS3 is a financially unsound idea.[/QUOTE] This. Not many people would buy it for the Ps3. Or at least, not enough.
Man, I don't care about Valve games on the PS3. They should really focus on PC and 360 because that's where the real action is.
Well yeah I have a PS3 and I don't have many friends on it + THE PLAYSTATION 3 DOESN'T COME WITH A MICROPHONE. So that's enough reason not to develop it on the PS3. I'm going to play it on my PC anyways :D
[QUOTE=Kung Fu Jew;18227223]Plus, it shouldn't be. L4D is a PC game. Why would anyone play a VALVe game on a console? Dumbest idea ever.[/QUOTE] No it's not, since most people don't have the money to constantly upgrade their PCs and they'd like to enjoy a game, the whole point of games is to enjoy them and have fun, not to see which is better on which.
A PC has to be considered as a long term investment. That way, it works out cheaper than a console and the games are way cheaper due to the hardware not being heavily subsidised.
[QUOTE=Omali;18227156]"because the ps3 is still shit" would have been a shorter answer, and still the same message Valve always says straightforward or implies.[/QUOTE] Because PS3 is different from XBox and PC. It's easier to port a PC game to XBox than to PS3.
[QUOTE=Kung Fu Jew;18227248]no BSOD either [editline]05:57PM[/editline] *pc fanboys go nuts*[/QUOTE] A BSOD? Oh no. What ever will I do if/when that ever happens? Oh right, turn my PC back on because 99.9999% of the time when you [I]do[/I] get a BSOD, it's an insignificant driver error or CPU overheat or something. RROD means your Xbox is pretty much toast. Same thing with the PS3's YLOD.
Its Sony's fault with there cell processors. [editline]04:45PM[/editline] their*
I heard valve is not talented enough to make a ps3 game. :downs:
[quote] 1.34 - Valve is luck y to have PC360 as base very lucky Valve is lucky to have PC360 as the new low beduget PC gamer base ,very lucky!! If MS had decided to go the proprietary console route like Sony's Cell PS3 then Valve would most likely being doing bad ports on both systems and not even stand a chance against first party devs who own the Consoles..And PC's gaming for Vale would of bankrupted them!! They should be grateful That Nintendo didn't go that route as well.. Im sure a 8 core specialized Wii with Hard drive and 512 Ram and 50GBps GPU would of doomed MS and left Sony in 2nd,. And PC's in dead last. BUt we didn't see this.. We have idiots that got to 360 for PC gaming not knowing that the games are all PC games FPS FPS FPS FPS made for Mouse and keyboard.. Sad Valve is gonna loose eventually to ID and Epic and Crysis etc in terms of tech cause they market too much and have not talent. VALVE engine looks dated...cob webs.. [/quote] Uh...
[QUOTE=toxicpiano;18228815]Uh...[/QUOTE] That's N4G for you.
Valve just can't be assed to make a port for the PS3, either that or it's too hard or they don't know how.
Meh, The Orange Box PS3 port wasn't the best, but it was a port regardless. Doesn't seem to difficult to optimize things from there and make it run a bit faster.
It's not that Valve doesn't want to make a port it's that Gabe hates the PS3 with a passion. He's a blind fanboy when it comes to that. PS3 is a great system. You can't deny that. It may not be that best but it's awesome for people who don't just play games.
[QUOTE=Kung Fu Jew;18227223] Plus, it shouldn't be. L4D is a PC game. Why would anyone play a VALVe game on a console? Dumbest idea ever.[/QUOTE] I play L4D on my XBox cause all my friends only own an XBox. I really wish i had some PC gaming friends.....
[QUOTE=toxicpiano;18228815]Uh...[/QUOTE] I really feel like raging after that
[QUOTE=Kung Fu Jew;18227248]no BSOD either [editline]05:57PM[/editline] *pc fanboys go nuts*[/QUOTE] BSODs are rare as a working atari 2600 without any dust
It's not neccessarly because the PS3 is bad, it's coding. The PC and Xbox are pretty similar, while the PS3 needs EVERYTHING to be rewritten. basically, Valve have to make L4D2 twice. Too much work for something that would probably be buggy anyway (See The Orange Box on the PS3. It looks like a PowerPoint).
Just read through most of the comments. The majority are just fanboys whining like little bitches
