[quote]Valve’s dislike of the PS3 isn’t exactly a secret; time and time again employees from the much-lauded development company have expressed criticism of Sony’s home console – to the point where Randy Pitchford, the President of Gearbox (the developers of Borderlands), felt the need to speak up in Sony’s defense[/quote] Source: [url]http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2009/11/05/news-randy-pitchford-likens-valve-to-fanboy-for-hatred-of-ps3.aspx[/url] This is crazy. The president of Gearbox has lost it. Mainly because Gearbox was put on the gaming map due to Half life
what a freakin' tard " I bought L4D in the store" Why the fuck would you not pre-order via Steam for 10% off Dipshit
Ps3 is a shit console...i don't blame Valve.
They're VALVe games they don't have to make shitty PS3 ports if they don't want to goddamn.
I still think Borderlands is p cool so i dont know really alright peace
[QUOTE=Perfumly;18210193]They're VALVe games they don't have to make shitty PS3 ports if they don't want to goddamn.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's what EA is for.
Fuck you Gearbox you didn't make a great port to PC with borderlands.
[QUOTE=Perfumly;18210193]They're VALVe games they don't have to make shitty PS3 ports if they don't want to goddamn.[/QUOTE] but it's up to them to make it not shitty
I have a feeling that porting a game from a PC to a PS3 isn't the easiest thing to do.
[QUOTE=Perfumly;18210193]They're VALVe games they don't have to make shitty PS3 ports if they don't want to goddamn.[/QUOTE] No, that's EAs' job to make the shitty ports.
Gearbox did a good job with Borderlands on the Ps3 imo
[QUOTE=ChilColdCoolaid;18210231]I have a feeling that porting a game from a PC to a PS3 isn't the easiest thing to do.[/QUOTE] No it is not, the programming is entirely different thanks to the cell processor.
[QUOTE=absinthe;18210223]but it's up to them to make it not shitty[/QUOTE] they never wanted to make the port, EA took it and said they'd do it but ended up doing a shoddy job
Yes, clearly the president of Gearbox has lost his mind because he disagrees with the mighty Valve gods.
Fuck, my automerge. [B]EDIT:[/B] COME THE FUCK ON! STOP BREAKING IT.
[QUOTE=ChilColdCoolaid;18210231]I have a feeling that porting a game from a PC to a PS3 isn't the easiest thing to do.[/QUOTE] Indeed, and vice versa. The PS3 is hard to develop with and for in general.
Don't pick fights you (or your fanbase) can't win.

I'll feel bad for them when I can get Killzone 3 or any other PS3 game for PC.
[QUOTE=lum1naire;18210254]what it was fine only because you had to reformat to get it to work Crap ;( [/QUOTE] 1 hr Mandatory company logos at start up, having to press enter and horrible menus and mouse control, and if I'm lucky I can play the game without crashing The game itself is spectacular, but fuck
[QUOTE=Craptasket;18210297]1 hr Mandatory company logos at start up, having to press enter and horrible menus and mouse control, and if I'm lucky I can play the game without crashing The game itself is spectacular, but fuck[/QUOTE] well I admit that was bad, but you could edit the config to get around most of the logos and shorten it quite a bit
[QUOTE=5tolognadriS;18210172]what a freakin' tard " I bought L4D in the store" Why the fuck would you not pre-order via Steam for 10% off Dipshit[/QUOTE] Because if you pre-order it retail the store sometimes offers additional discounts [editline]05:55PM[/editline] [quote]Pitchford went on to suggest that Valve is a selfish developer: “Valve think their own stuff is the only stuff that matters, to the point where they have their own distribution platform. [B]It's like, I don't care about retail, about Marketplace, or PSN, I'm going to have Steam. [/B]It's cool, it's good, and they're doing a good job but at the same time they're reliant on the rest of the world. They had to do that [Left 4 Dead] deal with EA. When I see the L4D ad on the television I don't see a Valve logo, I see an EA logo, and when I bought it, I bought it at a store".[/quote] Retail requires steam you dumb shit if you're playing on the pc you have to have steam
Randy Pitchford is an idiot, what's with all this Valve hate suddenly? And especially from Gearbox this is really unexpected, I mean the Half Life expansion packs are like the first thing they've ever made.
Randy you so silly.
i thought randy and gabe were poker buddies looks like gabe must have ate his wife cause hes fat lol ep 3 delayed !!!!!!

And especially from Gearbox this is really unexpected, I mean the Half Life expansion packs are like the first thing they've ever made.[/QUOTE] Well Valve are becoming pretentious assholes right now who believe the sun shines out of their ass. The community being absolute zombies to them doesn't help much. I'm beginning to think the only section of them I really have much respect for anymore is the TF2 team, as they are actually fun and don't get involved with most of the shit Valve pull. (Oh and Chet doesn't know when a good time to shut up is).
