VALVe: TF2 360 updates for late summer

Kerry Davis, Software Engineer at VALVe, has replied to gamer texas2cali stating that the Xbox360 version of Team Fortress 2 will be receiving updates late summer. Weapon unlockables will not be part of the update though, "at least not for now" adds Kerry.

I have no respect for Valve anymore anyway. F**k valve.

[Organic_Chemistry]

This is just a slap in the face of every ps3 owner who owns that crap valve game. I will never buy another valve game again. I had no idea supposedly mature, professional, business people played such favortist little grade 2 games. Valve fvck yourself in the a$$

[Ps3Fanboy777]

Some gamers they are, they wont even be at E3... Seriously they can just go fly a kite.

[cp68]

with this http://orangeboxpetition.co...

They are updating the version that isn't broken. I like the Half Life series a lot but that is just wrong...

"Xbox360 version of Team Fortress 2 will be receiving updates late summer"

wow... but they wont fix the PS3 version, ROFL. see people thats why suing works in this country, they wake up, and they do the job that they are suppose to do, thats why those people who have the PS3 version of the orange box has every reason to get pissed and make petitions.

[Organic_Chemistry]

"This country" Which country are you talking about? There are a lot of people from different countries that use this website

[pwnsause]

sorry, i will clarify, im talking about the United States, both companies, EA and Valve are established here.

[read disc error]

Unless it said on the box: "Will run at a solid and consistent 50 fps" or something like that.

[pwnsause]

they are not supporting their game. trust me, there are a lot of holes to get thru to sue them, than what you think

[Samer305]

I find this quite amusing as valve knows that the Ps3 version needs all the help it can get but fail to release an update for it. Now they think they are doing a good job over there by releasing a update. But for a game that does not need it. They need to get there act together over there.

[Quickstrike]

when again?

[Arsenic13]

I don't think ever dude. Valve doesn't like the PS3. All those petitions and they cant even make it playable. They are focused on 360 and PC seeing as its easier to dev on. Its a great game to. What a shame

[Quickstrike]

They need to respect the PS3. I'm gona wait till a group of gamers get together and sues Valve for not fixing The Orange Box on the PS3

[Dark General]

As a semi-avid TF2 player on the Ps3 i have to say this is kind of disheartening. Not only because we can't get a patch to fix some things like shooting critrockets through thin walls so that the splash damage destroys sentry's and Spys that 1 hit kill while facing you. But we can't even get new maps or the class upgrades or anything like that.

[nirwanda]

valve have always said they don't like the PS3 architecture valve have always said they aren't going to make any PS3 games because they only have a small dev team and it would take up to many resources completely redesigning a new game engine every time they port a game to the PS3,
you never hear anyone saying I hate konami because they refuses to make MGS4 for the xbox because kojima likes the PS3 over the 360 so why blame valve for at leased letting EA squeeze money out of PS3 owners with an orange box port

blame EA fools they did the port not valve.

[crck]

They own the intellectual property. They decided to let EA pimp the game on the PS3. They collected money from EA for it. Why shouldn't they be held responsible? BTW your Konami analogy makes no sense. There is a big difference between not releasing a game on another platform and releasing a game, collecting money from customers, then washing your hands of it and refusing to fix it.

[Dark General]

I actually like Gabe Newell and like Portal and TF2 quite alot (even though i don't think much of HL2). I just wish they would support their product a little more even though EA did do the port to Ps3 can't they assist them a little bit? Is that really too much to ask for? I don't think so, it's not even like the fix would probably be that major just get rid of a few annoying things. Hell i'd just settle for a announcement that we'll be getting the new maps and character updates. But them not saying one word about the Ps3 version like it was never even produced is kind of messed up.

[nirwanda]

my konami makes a lot f sense konami had a hell of alot of people working on making a game engine designed solely to run on the PS3 the same as valve did with the source engine which is pc based and could easily be converted to the 360 so why blame valve for saying to EA they don't want anything to do with the PS3 version as it would mean hire a whole new load of staff to remake an engine not design for the PS3.

EA made it because EA were being a greedy publisher how can valve update it when they don't have the code or don't any programmers with ps£ experience or access to the EA servers that TF2 runs on.

[nirwanda]

it was supposed to say

my konami analogy

my sh!t grammmer

BTW this is the same thing as blaming pink floyd for the scissor sisters bad (I'd love to say something more expletive) version of comfortably numb

[pwnsause]

i dont hate valve, but they should be blamed. they gave the code to EA to port onto the PS3, EA at the time didnt know Jack S**t on how to code for the PS3 (evidence is there people, Madden 08 is an example). why didnt they gave to code to Sega or to Konami? im pretty sure these alternatives would of worked better since they know more on Developing on PS3 than EA. EA just got the wakeup call when Criterion Showed that the best way to have both versions of a game on equal footing, is to develop on PS3 first then port the code to the 360, which meant a better 360 game as well.

This all goes back to that PS3 Ram article stating the difference between PS3's Ram architecture and the 360's ram architecture. Everyone knows its difficult to build on PS3 first. if you are thinking about making a multi-plaform game, work on the Hardest system to code for first. its been stated time after time after time again.

ive stopped trying to make them listen to that logic nirwanda. stop wasting your breath. ps3 fans are jealous. Valve has always made great games and their library proves it. EA screwed the OB owners...not Valve. but gabe's fat and Valve's lazy. anything against the black lil box it's "hate hate hate!"

[REDZEV]

cant wait team fortress is badass!!! its fun when you play with alot of friends.

[brothersimon]

droids dont have any online or in real life :(

[arakouftaian]

Obox for the ps3 u r worng I live hl series n like the games on obox n love cstrike but what valve did. On the ps3 is not right for anyone I will never buy a game (only used n on a chip price from now on from valve cop. Or ea) they suuuck. N mgs4 could be ported to ps2 xbox360 n other. Consoles or pc but he say if they do it they have to change the game make it less good n that guy don't like to make bad games. He even say that the bluray 50gb was not e. That he need more space. N be honest won't u like to see ur xbox whit the blue ray or something better I bet u do. In other word anyways valve n ea r a dispoinment for me n many other :(

[nirwanda]

MGS 4 could be done on the 360 but not without completely rewriting the engine would you trust EA to do that would you blame konami for EA F-in it up if they did because konami didn't want to do it, or wanted to focus there team on a new zoe or MGS 5

[brothersimon]

Ps3 = ownt

[dragunrising]

So...the 360 version isn't getting the PC character updates or did I read things wrong? What do they mean by "weapons unlockables?" Hopefully the PS3 version will get patched and updated as well or else a loss of respect (for Valve) will result.

[Dark General]

The 360 is going to get the character weapons update just not now. They are planning to release them in one big pile it seems for XBL.
