Valve Considering PS3 Development?

Valve Software boss Gabe Newell's disdain for Sony's console is well-documented, but that may not be the final word in the relationship between Valve and the PS3. Comments made by Left 4 Dead writer Chet Faliszek give credence to the notion that PS3 development isn't off the table for the beloved company.

"Before we do anything on the PS3 we need to be able to support it in the right way," Faliszek told Edge Online. "But we’ll look at it, and I’m sure down the road we’ll do it."

This is a far cry from a game announcement, of course, but PS3 owners can cling to some hope that they'll someday get a chance to play Valve's excellent games without branching out onto other platforms. The next release from the company, Left 4 Dead 2 DLC pack The Passing, is exclusive to PC and Xbox 360 just like all Valve products to date.


The question is does anyone care? I know I don't but that could be because I own both consoles.

There is a lot of hate going around for valve so it probably be better if they didn't. Not just in gameinformer either.

At a finacial standpoint i dont understand why they haven't already, possibly doubling their market is a no brainer really, but you're right in the fact that only one eyed fanboys own a single console these days...

If the shoe was on the other foot so to speak, I suppose 360 fanners would feel the same way.

Would show themselves as whores for money after how they've bagged Sony over the years.

Consloe war thread, nice :lol:

I dont really see a need to own both. The large majority of games are available on both systems, and in the grand scheme of things, is my life going to be adversely affected if I never play Mass Effect, Halo or Splinter Cell? No, it wont.

Do I care if the colours are marginally better on the PS3/Xbox version of a game? No.

Money spent on a second console, IMO, would be better spent buying games for the system I already have.

Owning one console = being a fanboy = more unbalanced gamplayer bs opinion .

360 or 3 games less in the collection?
the diff between versions of the same game on diff consoles can be quiet big, more than just more vivid looking colours most of the time (and this applies both ways)
and you know you hate missing all the awesome exclusives on the 360 ;)
(any avid gamer would)

@ baggy: loved the console war thread comment, i lold

So I assume you own both?

If only owning 1 console makes me a fanboy in certain peoples opinions then so be it, like I give a shit.

@ Tzar, I can think of 2 I would check out, Splinter Cell and Mass Effect ( I want to know what all the fuss is about)

Anyway the console war thread is elsewhere ;)

I'm an avid gamer and like I said in the other thread, I dislike the exclusives I've played so far on the 360 (halo 2 and 3, fable 2, mass effect, forza 3, gears 1 and 2).

Shadow complex, halo 1 and odst have been the only three so far that I have enjoyed, I'm hoping alan wake and splinter cell will take my fancy too.

and yes please, try and keep this fanboy shit in the lost planet 2 thread from now on.

If it were proposed we make a separate console war thread, would people post in it?

Everyone's a fanboy around here.
lol nope , out of the three consoles i only have a 360 , well more like three of them around the place . No Ps3 , no Wii but i have played enough of both .
Do have a Ds and PC.
I was more saying that gameplayer tends to whine about fanboy's more than actually have many .
Buying only one brand of console just means you have only one brand of console and nothing more , there might be ten reasons or none for you buying just that one brand or you might just love your 360/Ps3 to peices , maybe you don't have the time or (let's be practical) money to own shitloads of games or consoles . Maybe you just like the fucking colour or shape of your ps3 or 360 better . Who the fuck cares? really?
This everyone is a fanboy shit is worse than any real fanboy's retoric and on these forums i see more complaining about fanboy's than i see fanboy's post .

On topic i don't care what valve bring out for Ps3 or 360 atm knowing i would only buy whatever it is for pc anyway.
