Rely on Horror: "We’ll be looking at the Left 4 Dead series and it’s eventual release on Sony’s Blu-Ray machine. Portal 2 will already be hitting the land of Blu, so what’s the hold up with Left 4 Dead? Speculation time!"
Yeah why wouldn't they it would be kinda stupid not to, as long as they don't pull a Mass Effect(releasing only Mass Effect 2 on PS3 , i hope it will be canceled its just stupid not to have the whole story.)
Yeah, it is possible now that Sony is supporting Valve and Enabling Steamworks on PS3 for Portal 2. That and the fact that Valve's been spreading to other platforms like the Mac.
@ Mystogan You should note that Bioware hasn't gone into detail on how they'll introduce Mass Effect to PS3 owners, Only detail we received from them is that it will have hours of Bonus Content.
"Ray: What we're providing is an introductory module. We haven't revealed the details of what that is yet, but it's going to provide a lot of information on both the context and setting of Mass Effect."
CVG: Module is an unusual word; are you talking about a video, or is it something more interactive?
it may be possible that valve have l4d 1&2 on the ps3 version of l4d3 as part of a collectors edition where you pay 10 or 15 bucks more and with added new maps or new sp gameplay addition.
maybe they can have it on their for free as is, who knows?
Valve is an awesome developer and I am glad that they are now throwing full support behind the PS3. Half Life, Half Life 2, the Half Life episodes, Portal, Left 4 Dead....man, they are all really great games.
L4D is a great co-op series. My buddy Nate and I played through the Alien Breed demo and we were lamenting the fact that there aren't very many good co-op games anymore.
Thing is paying the full retail for the 360 version is still one of the biggest cons this generation and /Valve are yet to mek a decent port of any of their PC for ANY console. Sure, TOB for PS3 was the worst but the 360 version is crap compared to the PC one(and not just gr4phically and even there that engine shouldn't be doing much either console would falter with, should it?)-the L4D games are no different in that they lag way behind their PC brothers.
If Valve brought L4D1 and 2 to PS3 in something L:IKE i8t's PC form then fine but nobody should wish for the same rip off we've suffered twice on 360 with these games. Of any games I've bought this generation the L4D titles rely on mods and user created stuff to keep the game fresh so not having them alone for 360 made paying MORE for the console version a bit much and when you add in less dev support, lower res, worse FPS and other corners cut for console it just isn't a game I'd want to buy(again) for either console. Valve are GREAT and I love them but they have never, to my mind, translated their PC quality to a console platform.
I also think a few people who game solely on their 360 just assumed they had a game of similar quality and depth to the PC(and for the price they really should have) because of all the pro MS and anti Sony/PS3/PS3 community stuff that used to come out of Gabe and Co. Sadly, we weren't getting that at all and if they don't step up their console output from now on and make similar efforts to some of their peers to narrow the quality gap between PC and console versions then they're better off dropping them and concentrating on PC where they have always been kings and good value(if a bit slow!).
To me it'#s as simple as this: I got L4D off Steam for about £20 and it's given me thirty times the pleasure the £40 360 effort has. Valve's console ports are never good value and with a limited set of backgrounds on the disc for L4D1 and 2 the lack of mods is a crippling omission alongside the other stuff-and the price is daft.
now im playing Deadrising 2 with my friends, online Coop.. i cant wait to play L4D... i played it on my 360, but here in Paraguay PS3 win in a 9:1 ratio.
Deadrising, stupid and funny Zombies L4D: scary and faster Kamikaze Zombies
Left for dead have never been about visuals, but i agree, the pc vetsion is superior, not because of resolution but because yu can really feel how ot was designed with a mouse in mind.
Nah, it's the game with the biuggest overall drop in quality and featuires from PC to console that I've come across. I don't mind playing it with a pad either and it's the drop in res, framerate and quality allied to the higher price and lack of mods(VITAL for L4D imo)and lesser Valve support on 360 that make it a rip off on consoles. Any PS3 version must, at the very least, contain more stuff and allow mods to be brought over otherwise the full retail is not defensible in my eyes. They ripped us off twice on 360 and we'd let them do it again on PS3?
They are great on PC but haven't yet done it on consoles, not for me, and someone needed to say it. They got away with it on 360 by knocking the PS3 and now they seem in bed with Sony we gamers would allow them to repeat the process in reverse? Not without a rise nearer to PC quality I would hope.
Yeah it's interesting to play a 2 years old game now because you were a fanboy and didn't have either a pc(witch you have probably since you entered n4g) or a 360.
"They announced that Portal 2 will be seeing a multi-platform release. He also had nothing but praise for Sony’s platform." "Valve’s own Gabe Newell has been quoted as describing XBox-Live’s infrastructure as being a “train wreck”. This reaction came about when speaking of Team Fortress 2 and it’s updates through XBox Live. He then went on to praise the PS3."
He got it wrong, Valve didnt even praise the PS3, they did praise the open PSN but the PS3? Did this guy even do his research? Theres alot of grammar and spelling mistakes too, where's the editors for this website cause this article is a wreck.
And for L4D releasing on the PS3, I think that its a no brainer imo.
most probably.
