Still no PS3 interest from Valve

Another slow day, Mr CVG?

Anyway it is their loss, they'd make more profit if they released PS3 L4D etc too.

Best Valve game is still Counter-Strike: Source or Day of Defeat: Source imho.

It's not a slow newsday style story - it's a pretty interesting take on Valve's refusal to work on PS3.

Not enough consoles out there to justify the effort and money required to develop for a pain in the ar$e system.

I don't blame Valve in the slightest and it's PS3 owners that are losing out in the longrun, unless they settle for inferior ports or have a PC to play Valve's superb games on.

Why would they make more profit everyone knows that with every single multiformat game the PS3 version sells less then the 360. Just look at the charts every week and you will see

So they refuse to work for ps3, but they take the metacritic score into consideration for the orange box on ps3 when it wasnt even developed by them?

If they worked on it instead of EA and made the changes they'd wanted, it would have done better. Personally, I thought the control scheme sucked for the orange box, which was a shame, and i wanted valve to work on it.

Another letdown from the most annoying games company ever.

Amusingly enough, I have a gaming PC, one that far exceeds the performance of my PS3. And still, to this day, I have zero interest in Valve games. I've even been offered free downloads from my father via Steam. Still, couldn't care less. Keep the garbage off the PS3, I say.

Here is how I see it. You buy a car from Sony along with a few million other people around the world. It's a great car with plenty of bells and whistles and reliable as hell. The odd thing is that it has square wheels and tires. So when it comes time to buy tires you take it to the tire shop. The old boy says "I don't have the right machine to remove and mount those tires" You fly off the handle and blame him because he does not want to invest the money and time for training into a machine that changes tires on a car that only a few million people own WORLDWIDE. So don't blame the tire guy blame Sony for trying to reinvent the wheel....Am I drunk?

good gameplay. but valve simply arent the best coders out there.

their games, the graphics always have basic feel to them. for instance, wheels or curved objects will always be pentagon-like, more so than other developers. and they stick to tired old engines.

they cant develop on nothing but the pc, the 360 being basically a pc at heart.

and they have the cheek to say THEY worked on OB with an outside team. no you whored it out because you couldnt do the job yourselves - no wonder OB feels like a step child, you put it up for adoption just because it was a difficult child!

cant believe they are using that as an excuse, it basically reads 'were not talented enough'

look at what criteron does with BP on ps3. technically amazing. as a team, im sure they worked around any problems. thats what technical teams do.

they could get skilled ps3 developers in an instant - put a f**king ad in the vacancies. they are acting like spoiled brats!!

on top of that valve games are nowhere near the most technical games out there. and they still cant cope?!

I enjoyed Half life and agree that Valve make games of a high quality. However as a PS3 owner with a good choice of other games, I am not concerned if they disregard my format of choice.

They seem to be to lazy to code on a machine which requires a bit of effort, nothing wrong the 360 but it is very similar to a PC so if course not a big challenge to develop for.

As Regards to potential sales, I think Valve may want to look at the charts from the land of the rising sun.

Well the guys just talking b******s isnt he?

Everyone else manages to develop for it no problem these days so i dont get what the problem is.

I bought The Orange Box, but I could have lived without it. Until Valve gets people who are talented enough or at least not lazy and willing to learn the new coding of the PS3 then they can have their Steam and 360 love for all I care.
