New Valve 360 titles on the way

Valve's Doug Lombardi reiterated the firm's disinterest in developing for PlayStation 3 and Wii, and revealed that there were "new projects in the works" for Xbox 360.

[SeanScythe]

They can keep them, these are the most lazy devs in the industry.

[SuicidalTendencies]

It has nothing to do with being lazy. It costs money to develop for the PS3. It's a lot easier and a lot less money to make games for PC and then bring the over to the 360. Besides, most of Valve's money comes from the PC market. They really don't have to release anything on consoles. Us console gamers sure appreciate it though.

[Tmac]

They are pretty lazy though, they have enough money and enough resources to learn the programming code of a new platform they are just.... Lazy.

[flexbox360]

dont be a spoil brad. just becuz they dont wanna dev for the ps3..u crying uh?

[mesh1]

why can they keep them ? your a ps3 owner but still youe saying vavle can keep a xbox exclusive it has on the works strange.

@some 1 plays
crytek is not making farcry 2 some time si think most sony "fans" on this site are just fake and have no idea of what really going on in the world of gaming .

[morganfell]

Nothing advances technology like holding on to last generation.

[Playstation Man]

Disinterest, more like incapability. Valve sucks.

[Organic_Chemistry]

Who cares!!! Oh no the PS3 doesnt get some crap ports from lazy american game developers which dont even have the intelligence to create a game for the ps3. And you all are wrong, they are lazy, creating games on the PC and 360 because they are "easier" is you saying they are lazy, easy is the lazy way out. Its expected of american developers all they can produce is crap anyways, only exception is IW's CoD4 but they wont release any trophies or XMB so yeah theyre lazy too!

american game developers like valve are just afraid of a challenge, so what challenge and discipline yield great benefits, you think that their is an easy way to become a doctor or dentist etc?

[gaffyh]

So I guess this kinda confirms Half-Life 3 exclusive to 360. If it's going to come out on PC first though I'll probably get it on PC instead of 360.

[dachiefsman]

wow if Left 4 Dead = lazy developers. then I want more lazy developers.

[Sayai jin]

Tmac- Is Kojima lazy becuase he will not develop for the 360, No. He prefers the PS3, becuase of his relationship with Sony, like blu-ray, etc, but in someone elses eyes they could see him as lazy for not wanting to developing for the Wii or 360. Companies have there favorites. Nintendo had a simliar problem with devs, becuase of the complexity of developing for the N64, but I know the PS3 won't fail like the N64.

[CrazzyMan]

[SixTwoTwo]

I'm cool with Insomniac. But thanks anyways.

[ZeroBlitz]

Do you really think that Half Life 3 will be out before the xbox720 is released? HL2: Episode 3 probably will, but there's no chance of HL3 being on the 360. You'll be lucky if it's done within 5 years of Episode 3 (unless they do episodes again).

[solar]

100 GOTY awards alone in the games that are in the orange box. yep. really lazy there Valve. stop making those great games.

when will you whiny brats grow a brain and learn that the ps3 isnt the only gaming system in the world? so Valve doesnt have the money to program for it. that doesnt make them lazy.

you all are butt hurt that Gabe doesnt like the ps3. cry some more.

[thebudgetgamer]

as a ps3 owner i think valve makes great games but i went into it knowing full well that they were not gonna support the ps3 i don't remember them supporting the ps2 maybe the original half life but i could be wrong. ill just have to pony up the dough and get a 360 to play those games and gears 2

[KingME]

You really need to chill out, I really don't care for how you categorizes things with the "American" slant on it, it seems pretty clear to me that you have a blanket problem with Americans. You might want to get that fixed, before someone fixes it for you.

I don't know where you are from, but you sound like someone from the medieval days.

Chill out with the prejudice slant on your comments. I find it offensive. It really doesn't surprise me that you have been on this site only 53 days and you're already down to 2 bubbles.

[fermcr]

Jesus, most people of this site are console fanbabies (luckally there are some console fans that dont wine and cry)... just look at this... these console fanbabies allways wining and crying because games don't go there way... you guys really need to grow up.

[morganfell]

I really can't stand when someone comes onto a site specifically designed to promote fanboyism and the defending of one's preferred platform and then they whine and bawl about what is natural on a site like this. Grow up before i throw up.

You are complaining and whining about people you say are whining. Do the math.

[kwicksandz]

Valve has never made a bad or even mediocre game. All their releases have been Undeniable AAA, multiple GOTY winning releases.

Its amazing that they can call a developer of valves calibre lazy just because they dont want to program for ps3. its like calling blizzard lazy... just doesnt make sense.

[whoknew]

Wow, so many bitter Sony fanboys. I wonder what they would be saying if Valve only wanted to make console games for the PS3? I'm thinking it would be a different story then. Still, that's a Sony fanboy for you I guess, such hypocrites...

All the people saying their lazy & don't make good games are just jealous. The fact is, Valve learned their lesson with the half life port, just as other devs will testify to how hard & expensive it is to make a decent PS3 games. I guess that explains a lot.

The difference is, other devs have no option but to make games for the PS3, they need the money in an increasingly tough market, Valve doesn't, it has a large share in the PC games market already. On top of that it has morals, morals which say, we don;t need to spend months making games on a system that feels like the coding was an after thought.

I really don;t blame them, and if your a fanboy then I guess you won't see past your own stupidity as to what valve are saying here.

Good for Valve. :)

Also, I would just like to add, why are people talking about console sales? The fact is, in the last month or two, Sony has released their only console selling game in the shape of metal gear solid. Let us not forget that the 360 still far out weighs the PS3 in terms of consoles sold, and in the next few months we WILL see the 360 sell more then the PS3. Why? because you tell me what the PS3 has to offer to someone thinking about buying a console, then tell me what the 360 has to offer. That's correct, the 360 has much more in terms of games and content on offer.

[toughNAME]

Master Chief is enough to do away with Sony, now Microsoft has AAA developer Valve backing them?

[-M4verick-]

8D

360 FTW

[rhood022]

Yet..three Halo games later, their *snicker* "perfect storm" from last year, and a simultaneous release of GTA and Sony's still here outselling the 360 by wider margins every month.

[thenickel]

This is not a good time to compare console sales due to the way the economy has been. Later this year we will see how things shape up when we get out of this drought. MS still has a chance of turning this around in there favor and I don't think a few thousand consoles here and there is a reason to brag. Both consoles should have a good year and I don't see why it's so important to you guys who sell more then the other.

[rhood022]

It's not about comparing consoles per se. It's about showing how idiotic comments like "so-and-so game on the 360 (usually Halo and Gears) will do away with Sony" have no merit when faced with truth that, despite these popular games, Sony's console isn't going anywhere.

Also, I have no doubt that the US economy is playing a role in stagnant console sales in the US, however, to ignore the fact that Sony's progress in spite of this, including a near 2:1 margin over the 360 for June and a consistent over sale of tens of thousands of consoles per month only fuels these idiotic posts.

[KingME]

are you going to mention the release in MSG4 in that comment. I mean it only just the biggest game of the year for the PS3. MSG4 is to the PS3 what Halo3 is to the 360. So, let's not forget that that was a HUGE part of the june sells that you so proudly brag about. However rightfully so. Just don't want you to overly simplify it.

Your post mentions "idiotic post" yet, it carries a bit of brash(adj.) flavor with it as well.

[N2NOther]

You don't really think MGS 4 is to Sony as Halo 3 is to MS do you? There is no way in hell MGS 4 is selling over 8 million copies. It won't even sell half of that on the PS3. If that's what Sony is pinning their hopes on, then I wasted a sh!tload of money a PS3. (Thankfully, Sony aren't that stupid)

[-M4verick-]

lol why are Sony fanboys so insane. PS3 doesnt have the games and developer support!!! So then when someones excited about Valve bringing Exlcusive games to the 360 you get 16 disagree's??!?

Wow what crap.

Sony fanboys, KNOW YOUR ROLE. You cant contorl everything just because Xbox 360 gets all the developer support and PS3 has none. How lame.

[uxo22]

I think what kingme was speaking of is, the title itself, and not necessarily the sells. If you look at the PS3 thus far, MSG4 does appear to be its most coveted title. (At least it is to me)

I think PS3 fans, although they love their console, they are also more dedicated to specific genres, whereas 360 fans individually appear to like more different genres; which equated to the 360 fan buying more titles weekly. PS3 fans seem to wait for that specific title to come out (the genre they are into)before buying it.

Once again, just my view on it. I could be wrong.

[toughNAME]

It's not like Valve's last game was highly rated or anything

[Shadow Man]

U mean The Orange Box? an the little game called PORTAL?

[Ps3Fanboy777]

Good luck surviving in the game industry. After all the PC and 360 are the two most pirated game platforms currently. Good choice valve!

[Organic_Chemistry]

good point fanboi! PC gamers are the reason that the videogame industry is so pirated and in cahoots! Not because of us PS3 owners we respect the videogame industry by actually purchasing games!

[silverchode]

torrents keep me happy.

[flexbox360]

god bless piratebay and clonecd

[solar]

lol! good luck pirating Valve games for PC!

[kwicksandz]

I thought not LOL. GL pirating valve games buddy

[cp68]

He doesn't care about anything on PS3..not even his own bloody product:
http://orangeboxpetition.co...

[DarkBlade]

But this seem console racist.(I say this becasue both are Japanese company that all) Disinterest? Wii and Ps3 that impossible.

[Pr3-M3d_G4M3R]

Unfortunately you are bud! LOL I thought the same thing

[DarkBlade]

I am, how?

[radzy]

while sony keeps promising games for you, and not delivering,cancelling or delaying these so called promised games to the year 2020, we(xbox 360 owners) get real games from developers.

eight days - cancelled
home - triple delayed
gt5-delayed to atleast 2010
bioshock- 1 year after 360 version
mgs4 - movie
bioshock 2 - guessing exclusive to xbox 360 for atleast 1 year
god of war 3 - only teaser trailer (no gameplay) , after 2-3 years of ps3 launch
mag- only teaser , probably 2011 release or cancel later
final fantasy 13 - same day release in u.s. and europe(oh my god , no one saw that coming, FINAL FANTASY 13 AND VERSES)

...........
and the list goes on , and on , and on................

p.s. i also have a ps3 , but collecting the dust

[DarkBlade]

Don't make things up. Bioshock 2 exclusive for one year. Yeah right. Also it seem like you are fanboy for 360. Doesn't matter if u have both consoles. U favor 360 over Ps3. Lol @ below very true

[SUP3R]

Weird I could have sworn I was in the GamerZone. :\

[Dark vader]

It does not bother me, valve to me is nothing. I've never bother with their game in the past, so why should i care now.

[Shadow Man]

Then why are u here?

[Real gamer 4 life]

because like you he has the right to say his opinion

[HyperBear]

why bother stating your opinion if you've got nothing good to say about it?

[Mr Playboy]

=)

[BIoodmask]

Valve is one of the most talented developers in the industry. The Source Engine can still keep up the newer engines of today.

It is funny how people can hate them just because they have a bizarre emotional attachment to a piece of plastic. Just buy it on PC like I always here people who don't have 360 claim that they will do. Then go ahead and buy the PC version and get over it.

Why should Valve have to learn the architecture of the PS3 when it will be forgotten after the PS3 is gone. It will never be used for PC game development and that is Valve's main focus.

[Tmac]

Why bother creating it when the Xbox 360 will be forgotten sooner or later?

Why does anyone bother learning new programming? Why do people learn? Why bother evolving and bettering yourself?

You gotta whole lotta fail livin' in your brain.

They're lazy and they're obviously choosing sides because of the way the company operates.

[Real gamer 4 life]

bloodmask speaks the truth. Just buy the game for the p.c. most of their games don't require a high end p.c.

[silverchode]

you dont even have to buy it, there are many ways to get pc games for free.

[Ace Killa 08]

its old and really good, so an average computer will run half life decent

[xg-ei8ht]

Bloodmask i do believe you are talking firmly out of your a$$.

Source engine keep up with newer engines, don't make me laugh any harder please.

It's evolved, but nowhere near enough to contend with games today.

I've played all the source engine games and while they are fun, they aint that good, best game valve released was hl1. Nothing has been as good as that from valve. hl2, and the episodes were at best average.

I'm a pc fan more then a ps3 fan. But i do smell bs when any valve employee talks.

You don't even need a high range pc to run their games.

Any of them.

Truthfully i hope sony shuns at product they produce for ps3, unless it gets the attention it needs. Piss poor ports don't help sales. and when ps3 is leading xbox360, and that'll be soon what are valve gonna do then.Play beyond?

Or just develop for pc, because atm piracy is so rife with pc games, and it's getting worse.

by 2010 everyone in the uk alone will be able to get 100mbps broadband.lol

It'll be, i'll have that game, that game and i'll d/l that game 2morrow.

Kinda like GRID for pc, you can d/l it and play online and check your stats if you want, kinda silly, and hurting sales badly.

[solar]

wow Tmac. ive seen your posts before and i must say this is the first time ive seen you act like an idiot. i know you are not. PC and 360 are similar tech. you know that.

and lazy. haha. right. over 100 GOTY awards alone with the games included in the orange box. you show me another developer that has that many GOTY awards that doesnt own a console.

so by your logic Blizzard must be lazy too. no SC2 coming to consoles. D3 more than likely isnt hitting consoles. start up the hate wagon! Blizzard must suck because they dont develop for ps3!

oh wait. nevermind. ::smacks forehead:: gabe said he hated the ps3. thats why everyone here dogs Valve. poor babies. cry some more.

[Pr3-M3d_G4M3R]

Stop telling of how many "GOTY Awards" they've received, tell me this my friend, how many of those game of the year awards are from NON-AMERICAN websites/reviewers.

[-M4verick-]

You lame PS3 fanboys are out of your delusional minds. Seriouslg et a life and go play the games you dont have. So annoying. PS3 is garbage and everyone knows and has known it. Get over and stop ruining EVERY 360 thread. You guys attack EVERYONE.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Portal 2 360 console exclusive? We are already getting Protal: Still Alive.

Man, Portal 2 would be excellent along with the new Half-Life EP.

[Shadow Man]

Protal: Still Alive will be great. I still haven't finish The Orange Box. There is tones of games on the xbox360 I love my XBOX360.....&FFXIII.

[Tmac]

Yeah.. about Final Fantasy.. you're gonna be waiting awhile.

[TheXgamerLive]

Japan gets it first then US and Europe get it at the same time on both consoles per SE.

[Dannagar]

Good news from Valve. They're a great company.

@Tmac
Xbox Users waiting for FFXIII have plenty of JRPG's to play while they wait, Many from Square Enix themselves.

[-M4verick-]

The 360 has all the good games.

[KillahCam]

F&%k Valve!!!!! Party on people there is nothing to see here!!!

[big_tim]

They only like working with typical PC programming. As everyone knows the 360 uses the same tools as with PC development which makes it extremely easy to develop for.

[fufotrufo]

I hate when people here diss good developers just because their games are not coming to their favorite console..Valve is a great ..end

[KillahCam]

What has Valve done for me nothing if they choose to develop for the PC and 180 continue but dont make excuses for not making a PS3 version, they know they want a piece of Sony's gaming market share but they can't develop a game for the system instead we get a half baked EA UK version Im F&%kin upset I paid for that game. All i'm saying is stop making excuses and step your game up or shut up............................ .........

[Ace Killa 08]

the reviews are good and if they say lag is a major factor and also unplayable then dont get it, rent it first

[Rusted]

I give you that buddy, they are great developers but their attitude sucks, specially Mr. Newell.

[RedVsBlue]

I guess this would not be a problem if Sony would just teach & help developers make games for the PS3 & do more then just send a kit. Sony is partly to blame for developers not wanting to develop things for the PS3 for not wanting to help them

[Smacktard]

That's cool. I'll just pick it up on PC aswell. What, you think they're going to be making 360 exclusives? Hahaha.

Also, didn't they say they were interested in working on the Wii?

[Aclay]

If Valve wants to limit themselves to 3 Cores and DVD-9, that's there problem. Too bad they'll never make a real Next-Gen game that pushes the limits of 7th generation gaming.

[BIoodmask]

Valve will never limit themselves. The new PCs that are out with quad-SLI will wipe the floor with both the PS3 and the 360. Your comment makes little sense.

[-M4verick-]

PS3 fanboys are so silly. Valve are PC developers. The annoouced the same things everyones been saying all along, the PS3 is a disaster and they want nothing to do with it. Its that simple.

[kingme71]

Valve has said in the past that they want to remain a smaller company and they simply don't have the resources to devote to the PS3. I don't believe they have any qualms about someone else porting their work, however I think it is in their best interest to make sure it is ported well and of high quality. People less hardcore than the N4G crowd don't really keep up with the news as closely and might just assume Valve did the PS3 versions and lose faith in their products.

Gabe doesn't have a very politically savvy demeanor. It would be in his best interest not to alienate PS3 fans from his company. How many 360 fans hate Ted Price for developing PS3 games? Not many I would imagine because Ted doesn't get up on stage and say anything negative about other consoles. He just says we make PS3 games and are happy specializing in that area. Same basic thing Valve is doing but Valve is going about presenting it all wrong.

[ItsIncognito]

Valve like working on dinosaur technology.

[KillahCam]

LOL Dinosaur Technology now thats funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[solar]

that produces GOTY awarded games. you fail.

[Rusted]

Solar. Dude, enough with GOTY argument, we get it.

[kwicksandz]

If you got it, you would see that it invalidated the BS spewing from the ps3 fans in these comments. Lazy devs dont produce consistent genre defining games but valve does.

[solar]

no Rusted, obviously ppl on this site dont. anyone with a brain can not justify calling Valve lazy or crappy developers with their track record. hard evidence...GOTY awards. they are touted all over this site like the holy grail. well guess what? Valve has them. and lots of them.

the haters are butt hurt that a) a Valve game isnt hitting their ps3 or b) because god forbid someone doesnt like the ps3, aka Gabe. i find it amusing. id never buy a Valve game for my ps3, or a 360 if i had them. the freedom Valve has on the PC platform is unlimited, and thats where their games shine. and thats where i will always buy them.

[RAY017]

Whatever, they suck anyways. Its not like we need them, we have to many good games in the horizon. If they are not gonna make a decent job on the PS3 cause they suck, might as well not do anything.

PS3 FTW!!!

[Ace Killa 08]

if you dont need them then STFU bout orange box and go play MGS4 it been close to half a year after the release and really, no one can play it so wat guarantee is there that anyone is ganna play it if a patch comes out. so why bother at all and valve is like it dint work with ps3, i dont wanna try wii, and lets keep it real with 360 and PC cuz thats the only consoles that half life ran and if u notice Left 4 dead is meant for the same consoles.

[-M4verick-]

keep the fanboys in line, bro. Valve on 360 are the real deal.

[Fiona]

Vavle is an awesome developer. its kinda of sad they wont support the PS3. sound like they dont want to put the effort. But I own both consoles so it doesnt bother me to much

[fergy9901]

its probably because they're used to 'autocomplete' in microsoft visual studio, and kacked their pants when they realise they have to code for real on other platforms!

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

Sony has Crytek that love the choices that they made with the console that best suits their games like Far Cry 2. Valve has their moments in the last generation when their choices had strength but this generation they're just stubborn. I can understand the Wii because of the targeted audience but the PlayStation 3 hit the same gamers as the XBOX 360 / PC.

[Grim]

Far cry 2 is being developed by Ubisoft and is a multi-platform release, Crytek have anounced a game engine for use on console's but have not yet said what games they are developing and what platform they will be on so what the hell are you talking about!!???

[CNIVEK]

Your ignorance fails you once again...idiot. :o

[predator]

yeah Valve are cr@p, Half Life is rubbish.....NOT!

its great news that Valve have other games in devlopment.

[Megaton]

Do people actually play their games on platforms other than PC? I only play Valve games via PC, as do all of my friends who play their games.

[Hellsvacancy]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AH Sorry let me catch my breath i swear 2 god u just said u loved your 360

[sajj316]

Strange ... I can't see the quote anywhere? Link to source ... XBoxFanBoy -> OXM online. No link. Just a comment coming from someone other than Doug Lombardi. Yet ... Yet Gabe Newell says Wii is a possibility.

http://www.gameinformer.com...

Newell: I think we’ll bring them in house more for licensees issues than our own. Just for our own priorities, that puts the Wii at a much higher priority at understanding that. I think the Wii represents more of a challenge because of its input. You can think of the Xbox 360 as pretty much a PC and a PlayStation as kind of a PC. The Wii gives you a bunch of problems that don’t fit into that model. You can’t think of it as graphics, CPU, texture bandwith scaling, you have to think of it as more fundamentally, and I think it’s more valuable. I think it’s more interesting than just graphics chip – CPU combination. It’s the machine I have at home. The fact that we don’t have anything in development on it even though it represents big opportunities as a whole, it’s an obvious hole in our strategy.

[Ps3Fanboy777]

Its companies like this that created the fanboy. Everyone wonders why fanboys are the way they are, here is a crystal clear reason!

[tatotiburon]

lol fanboys attacking VALVE, one of the best dev's in the industry

[Tmac]

That's debatable, especially since Valve has had known help from people in the community when making games, unpaid people mind you who are just gaming enthusiasts, however they make good games, but god damn if they're not lazy. Still InfinityWard takes the cake for laziest studio.

[sajj316]

It is NOT just fanboys attacking Valve. Its also gamers who bought the Orange Box PS3. It was Valve who reached out through the Steam forums asking for feedback on PS3 improvements. Then it was Valve who just ignored it and then blamed EA. It is NOT just fanboys.

[Microsoft_Warrior]

i luv my x360 :)
i call it " Juuken " :)

LOL kidding

[immarriedtoafatchick]

hes gay shhh dont blame him for not being able to get girls

[Bladestar]

mmm... let me guess... if Kojima and Insomniac decide to only make games on the PS3 than they are super smart developers... but if valve decides to only make games on the xbox 360 then they are lazy... yeah sony's leg humpers logic... did it ever occurred to you that maybe just maybe valve priority is always being PC game development and since the xbox 360 is so similar in terms of development they can adopt it without re-structuring their shop and hiring new developers? It was already proven ... you can't just port games to the PS3.. you have to have specific PS3 developers working on it... Valve does not pretends to have the expertise or experience required to make PS3 games.. they are sticking to what they know... they tried hiring a company (EA that say they do have this expertise...) and what happened? crap port to PS3 gamers... so why bother?

To valve PC development will always be their focus.. and the PC -> PS3 port is as proven a big mistake... while PC -> Xbox 360 is safe and easy... get the idea?

[Tmac]

I'm just gonna skip the whole lotta bullshit you just typed and call you retarded.

[Microsoft_Warrior]

@tmac

that's cuz he's right

[wangdiddy82]

thats the game i rented the other week and found it to be very weak title..

[Ace Killa 08]

half life is all about the story, i never even played half life before the orange box came out. so i play episode 2 not even understanding the story and i got hooked on it. so really shut up about half life 2 not being catchy, its been for almost 4 years and now episode 3 is annouce being the last game for half life 2 which is even better. so really sucks for u if u got a ps3 cuz u missin out on a good game.

[Rusted]

How old are you? maybe you're a new gamer but i can assure you (and thousand of gamers) HL it's one of the deepest shooters of all time. Great and Old school style.

[kewlkat007]

360 getting love, hey plenty of PS3 devs that hate the 360, it's no different.

All some of you do is cry cry cry..

[InMyOpinion]

Good news! I love Valves games. Still haven't finished the Orange Box yet.

[-M4verick-]

I just finished Half-life 2, Episode 1, Episode 2 and Portal last week : )

I was WOWsome.

[Kleptic]

yeah definitely great games...still prefer HL2 with a mouse and keyboard without question...but the console versions handled surprisingly well considering the pacing...

I am excited to see what Valve does with new tech though...You can polish Source all you want, but it still looks mostly the same as the original HL2 on an at the time monster gaming rig...

iD is doing the same thing...Get the new engine out...Wolfenstien and QW running on Doom 3 engine looks like dump now...my business laptop runs Doom 3 nearly maxed out...I am a big shooter fan, and I know there is way more to a shooter than just visuals...but of all the different genres, shooters are always at the front of the list in terms of eye-popping tech...and its usually fronted by the big PC devs...if you take Crysis and CryEngine 2 out of the picture...a console game from a dutch developer is absolutely without a doubt the single best looking shooter shown so far...and its a console shooter...that is not the way this is supposed to work...

[Ace Killa 08]

they know how to make a story make it present good, and with old game engine. honestly the game dont look too bad at all i forget its an old game engine when i play thorugh episode 2. plus portal and TF2 look sick. so half life 2 and all other games are made from a great developer Valve (i know portal was created by other company but with the help of Valve)

[Raoh]

when i had an xbox 360 i bought orange box and loved it. great package, great games.

but after my 360's died i wrote off microsoft. and when i found out that valve doesnt want to make ps3 games i wrote them off too.

valve announcing more 360 games is good for 360 owners. it affects me not.

[Dante8205]

valve sucks.

[Angelitos]

Yeah, a 3rd party saying they are only interesting on 1 console is good for their reputation........Unless they were bribed from M$

[Bladestar]

I'm confused.. are you talking about Kojima and Konami?

[Dannagar]

No silly, he's talking about Insomniac.

Valve are nothing more thasn a bunch of lazy sods, no other way to describe the rubbish that comes out of this developers mouth.

Don't get me wrong they have some good games but seriously.

[HB-Sauce]

I'm okay with Valve developing for the PC/360, its better than complaining about the coding processes with another console but yet releasing a half-baked port on it. Valve would face a lot less criticism just excluding other consoles imo.

[Fux4Bux]

They shouldn't even be making games for 360. Need to get cracking on that new engine and HL3.

[Bigpappy]

He thinks it takes too much effort to get his PC ports to run properly on the PS3. I read his post. To each his own. We have people that work on PS3 or Wii that wouldn't touch a 360 (especially in Japan). If I want a Valve game I will just get it for the PC. I might get the 60 Gig 360. But not for Valve games.

[1stKnighT]

Great news for us 360 owners. Valve is known to making some of the best games ever. Valve is not the first to give up on the ps3. Many companies have given up on the ps3. Look at games like the next Getaway or Monster Hunter. Delays, cancellations, and just plain not interested is common for the ps3. Oh well.......

[devilhunterx]

So are you enjoying ALAN WAKE and SPLINTER CELL: HOBO EDITION?

Oh wait. They both got Delayed. Again.

COUNTER STRIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[n00bzRtehgey]

PS3 is just too crap for them to devote billions of extra dollars paying NASA research scientists to decode TEH Cell for them. It's just not worth it. Especially since the whole install base are movie buffs or braindead droids anyway.

[tomfoolery]

that's the problem.......MGS4 the movie aside,
there's NO GAMES to play7.

Godamn Ps3 only owners bought the wrong damn system./
Case closed.
360 envy they're all in!

Especially with RROD in the past...WOOT WOOT!

Final Fantasy going multi shut these little parasitic Lamestation
scumdroids up here on retarded N4G.

Crawl into your holes Sonytards.

In yer faces droids ROTFL

[chidj2]

They develop for a crappy system the Xbox 360. and why?
No money, horrible games, and a pathetic easy hardware.
I as a hapy PlayStation® 3 owner dont need this pathetic exclusives.
we have the best line up of 2008 - 2009 and we dont need this small and horrible exclusives.
One more time the PlayStation® 3 hardware proof its only designed for real developers and good studios.

Play b3yond

[LuHawk]

Then play your games on your ps3 instead of bashing the 360 like a b!tch

[brothersimon]

ROFL

Valve are ownage

Great games, and great humor..keep pwning those droids.

[PirateThom]

Unless it's Half-Life 2: Episode 3 and Portal 2 I don't care what Valve release.

[ElementX]

Valve has consistently brought PC gamers quality games. 360 development is similar to PC development due to the ease of Xbox programming. If Valve chooses 360 as their console of choice, there's no reason to hate them. Look at Team Ico, Level-5, Naughty Dog... those are just a few of the many PS3 only developers. Quit hating. Each console has it's specific developers in addition to the multi-format developers.

[PirateThom]

Team Ico and Naughty Dog are owned by Sony and Level-5 won't work on Microsoft hardware since Microsoft cancelled their game on the platform.

Valve really have no reason to hate the PS3, it's entirely down to them not wanting to stretch themselves as programmers. Which is pathetic.

[ElementX]

Regardless of who owns who, Sony has developers and MS has developers, whether in-house or 3rd party.

[solar]

@ pirate

dont call a company who is indy, with a small dev team, who can not finance the time it takes to program something entirely new and not going to be around as long as the PC pathetic. doing so makes you look like an idiot. and i know you are not. i like your comments. but this one is very stupid.

[grantps3]

im not saying this becuase i have a ps3 but i dont like there games. half life wasnt very good because i think the graphics suck and it wasnt fun...L4D looks good but looks repetitive

[Tacki]

"We do what we must because we can."

[yanikins111]

Ive said it about valve many times before;

"You got nothing I want, You got nothing I need"

Im fine with the ps3's line up.

Why is this even in the ps3 news section anyway. The title says new valve games coming to xbox....

Snooze.

[slave2Dcontroller]

[zonetrooper5]

You guys do know that Valve is quite a small company so to call them lazy for just focusing on two platforms is amazing, they keep on making amazing games with great graphics and great gameplay, most of you would be in love with Valve if they decided to develop for the PS3 only.
