[QUOTE=certified;29177017]I'm not so worried about that fact that Steam is coming to the PS3 specifically, I would be just as worried if it was steam for Xbox. I'm more worried of the fact that Steam is coming to a console. Not a specific console. But just right there. A console. Consoles IMO are a step in the wrong direction for Valve. L4Dlc started to point towards consoles (Matchmaking, hardcoded skins, mod support being patched in months after release, or in L4Dlc2's case: VAC bans for custom skins, and finally the occasional leftover from the Xbox), and I have a feeling that with Steam for any console, or more for that matter, Valve making deals with a console holding corporation, worries me. Valve... Y u no PC exclusive?[/QUOTE] wtf how else are you going to set up coop in this game without matchmaking are you really going to browse through 2 player limit dedi servers [editline]15th April 2011[/editline] on that note who would even bother hosting 2p servers
I might buy the PS3 version, get it on my PC account, then sell the game at Gamestop or something, and put that money towards Brink.
Shadowrun did crossplatform ok
I don't even own a PS3, but this is pretty amazing. Although sony are being massive dicks at the moment so I don't know how this will work.
[QUOTE=Da Jester;29171864]Ew, Steam on PS3. The moment we all dread. The one console fanbase comprised of the biggest elitists is now going to be invading our once proud Steam, Steam will be a cesspool of dickheads in no time.[/QUOTE] Way to sound elitist yourself.
[QUOTE=lemongrapes;29189792]I don't even own a PS3, but this is pretty amazing. Although sony are being massive dicks at the moment so I don't know how this will work.[/QUOTE] They're getting money so they won't give a fuck, they're only being dicks to the hackers. This makes me wish i had a ps3.
Reason why this is good: PC hosting server Install mods on server Load HL2:DM map Mod gives you starting weapons Bump up max players PC vs PS3 deathmatch
[QUOTE=Political Gamer;29172527]As much as I want Steam for PS3 to available in other PS3 games I doubt that will happen because it would be directly competing with PSN on a grand scale. Heck we are lucky Sony let Valve do this for Portal 2.[/QUOTE] They are a bit more open than Microsoft are (I am guessing Valve would have wanted to do this across all 3 platforms) so perhaps they will let valve do it with their games in the future. The idea of steam (proper steam with game purchasing) on a console is one hell of an awesome idea, I hope it becomes a reality one day.

[QUOTE=paul simon;29192390]If that works...[/QUOTE] Which I doubt it would
Eh, I shouldn't be worried about the cross-platforming....I should be worried about the annoying brats that will buy the game because it's E10+.
Presumably since both the PS3 copy and the PC copy are linked to the same account you can't play them both at the same time? But what if I want to play a different game on PC Steam and my brother wants to play Portal on the PS3? Will i be logged out of Steam?

now if only Microsell would allow free dlc and shit through steam on their Xbox, it would allow all gamers to be unified and consoles wars to wear off.
[QUOTE=Greendead;29171917]Then I'm sold. (I would be anyway) [editline]14th April 2011[/editline] To have a Co-op with a friend. One on PS3, and another on PC.[/QUOTE] Would that work though? Because you still have to login into your steam account to play it on the PS3.
[QUOTE=kaze4159;29190377]Reason why this is good: PC hosting server Install mods on server Load HL2:DM map Mod gives you starting weapons Bump up max players PC vs PS3 deathmatch[/QUOTE] It'll probably be matchmaking, but damn that would be awesome.
Has there been any word about custom-map support on PS3?

[QUOTE=MacD11;29202754]now if only Microsell would allow free dlc and shit through steam on their Xbox, it would allow all gamers to be unified and consoles wars to wear off.[/QUOTE] Companies would still charge even if microsoft gave the option for free dlc
The UI looks pretty good. I just want my game.
Wait, so does this essentially mean paying $60 for the PS3 version gets you two copies of the game (One for PS3 one for PC) saving you from paying over $100 buying say, one for Xbox 360 and one for PC? Sweet :v:
Soooo if I have Portal 2 on PC, I have it on PS3 as well? Even if I don't own one?

Sweet :v:[/QUOTE] Buy it on Amazon and you essentially only pay $35 for both.(It's $55 already with free shipping, and they give you $20 credit towards anything)
[QUOTE=legolover122;29171901]why would one dread steam on ps3? i would love it if they made the steam client for ps3, where you could buy and download ps3 games on it. no more disks. they always get lost/scratched[/QUOTE] [b]buy and download ps3 games?[/b] Does that mean I get to install my currently owned game, or would I have to re-buy them?

Cool, still happy I got it for the PS3, since I my computer will never be able to run Portal 2.
[QUOTE=Lord Ned;29203086]Has there been any word about custom-map support on PS3?[/QUOTE] Actually yes. PC players make the maps and put them on a Steamworks thing and both sides can download.
