Left4Dead Hitting the PS3?

OnAxis reports editor Bryan Irvings of Electronic Gaming Monthly seems to have confirmed Left4Dead on the PS3, which is currently an Xbox 360 and PC exclusive.

He states Ninja Gaiden II will not be coming to the PLAYSTATION 3 as previously suspected. "Like I said on the original post, the PLAYSTATION 3 listing in the magazine was just an editor mistake."
All is not lost though, at the end of his post, he wrote:

"As for Left4Dead: Yes, it will arrive on the PS3, as well."

Mr_Kuwabara5934d ago (Edited 5934d ago )

Hmmm hard to believe on rumors coming from EGM anymore. There probably trying to repeat there Ninja Gaiden 2 "mistake" in order to whore some more mag sales...

Eitherway would be nice to have Left4Dead on the PS3 (Although this is the first time I've actually heard about it)

decapitator5934d ago (Edited 5934d ago )

Am surprise this is coming out as news to anyone. The game was in development for Xbox 360, PC and PS3. Although, because of development problems, they were far behind with the PS3 version and so had not openly come out and announce it. The 1UP YOurs from January 18 with the Gamasutra guy who interviewed David Jaffe confirmed that, there is indeed a PS3 version of the game. And it just isn't as great as the PC and 360 version as of right now but it is coming.

Oh and last thing, the company making the game were recently purchased by valve. That should tell you that, this game is a sleeper.

socomnick5934d ago

I own a xbox 360 and Im glad ps3 owners are getting the game as long as they dont further delay the xbox 360 version Im dieing to play this game.

heroman7115934d ago

ive never heard of this game . whats it about ?

sonarus5934d ago (Edited 5934d ago )

hahaha looks like 360 will be loosing another exclusive however this game isnt really a priority for any ps3 owner with all the great games coming out on ps3 this 1 seems a little mediocre. Plus its a valve game and since valve(gabe newell at least) hates ps3 so much we can probably guess how the game will turn out on ps3. On the other hand with all the great looking games that will be hitting ps3 this yr their excuses about the cell processor and bla bla will look more stupid than ever

mikeslemonade5934d ago

Coop online 4 player storyline done right killing zombies. It's one of the few 360 games that i'm looking forward to. It's going to be one of those games that I play one time through and never play again though. I just hope it doesn't come out late because at a technological standpoint it's not doing anything really new and this game has to come out before Resistance 2.

MikeGdaGod5934d ago (Edited 5934d ago )

like i said on the other thread, this is the only game i wanted for the 360 this year. it coming to the ps3 would make my week.

confirmation PLEASE!

from the looks of this game it doesn't look all that interesting

Damphear5934d ago

BobDog5934d ago

mikeslemonade

mikeslemonade5934d ago

The graphics on Left4Dead are no where near up to Par with video games currently available........but it still looks fun as hell........on a separate note, if Valve is handling this game then who are they going to get to do the PS3 port? EA again (Half-life)???????????

Skerj5934d ago

I have to agree with you there, it does look slightly lower than HL2. But with the carnage on screen, I'm only worried that the gameplay holds up. I'll still throw in Deus Ex and give it a whirl, and that was built on the first Unreal engine.

mesh15934d ago

1st ot was gears of war 2 then it wasng2 then it wasalanwake ps3driods keep making up this rumours and have false hope left 4 dead wil never come to the ps3

sonarus5934d ago

haha i like how all xbots are on the defensive now last yr it was ps3 has no games bla bla bla. The thing is very few ps3 owners even want this game. Very few 360 owners even want this game. More 360 owners are peeking over the sony fence and liking what they see. In my opinion sell ur 360's before red rings strike

Cyrus3655934d ago

I'm guessing this game will likely come out after 360/PC version since it's not been talked about?

Mr Tretton5934d ago

why wouldn't NG2 come out on PS3? Maybe not right away, but it will eventually.

Cyrus3655934d ago

maybe, but it's published by Microsoft, so it's definitely not coming out for a year.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5934d ago

Reach over to the ashtray and put the joint out, you have smoked to much already.

Mr Tretton5934d ago

ah (looked it up) I see MS got publishing rights for NG2.

That's fine, I didn't want the game, just wondering why it wouldn't come to PS3 after Sigma. I guess MS is getting desperate.

etownone5934d ago

haha... typical sony fanboy response. First your looking forward to the game and that it will come out eventually, especially since PS3 already has singma... and then when you look it up (obviously cause your so not interested) and find out thats not happening, so NOW you go on and say you didn't want the game anyways and insult M$.

typical.

joten5934d ago

First of all he didn't say he was looking forward to the game. Second, he was curious as to why it wouldn't be on the PS3 so he looked it up. Quit being so defensive because it just make you look like more of an idiot.

most likly not but i hope it does there is no ps3 zombie game out yet i think

edit

wil4hire5934d ago

workin on zombie mod for ut3 :)

INehalemEXI5934d ago

If they do a Oneechanebra for PS3 we could get some zombie action going on even if they don't bring it to the US like VorteX and Revolution. Since PS3 can usually play games from other regions.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies1d 6h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken1d 1h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 17h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 16h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt1d 4h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken1d 1h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Most Offensive Video Games That Would Never Cut It Today

Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.

Read Full Story >>
wealthofgeeks.com
thorstein39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.

The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.

In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.

MrBaskerville38d ago

Yeah, people wouldn't be constantly outraged if there weren't games that people found enraging. The whole SBI discourse shit wouldn't be a thing if all games were inoffensive. A game like Starfield can make a guy froth at his mouth, so there will always be room for a list like this.

0hMyGandhi38d ago

Normally, I'd be inclined to agree with you, but there are massive caveats.
TV shows like Venture Bros, Ren and Stimpy, and Aqua Team wouldn't/couldn't be made today. Hell, Ren and Stimpy was a *children's* show, same thing with Rocko's Modern Life.

It's not for some arbitrary reason, either. It's branding and IP alignment. Companies are far more risk-averse than they were when I was kid in the 90's. Of course, you have companies coming out of the woodwork to hell spur on similar content, but remember: Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon and some incredibly provocative material.

And for movies? it's pretty obvious. American Pie/Wedding Crashers/Eurotrip among many other "raunch coms" have fallen out of style, and are absolutely outside what the modern day film industry is willing to stand by.
Ace Ventura 1 and 2, Dumb and Dumber, Freddy Got Fingered, Rat Race, Harold and Kumar, and Van Wilder follow suit.

Remember: I am not explicitly talking about films put onto streamers. I am talking wide-releases in actual theaters. Same thing goes for games: Carmageddon, Duke Nukem, Manhunt, Six Days In Fallujah (with their original concept), Hatred, and so on and so forth. Of course, I'd be inclined to mention most tactical shooters like Rainbow Six and Joint Ops as well, due to cultural sensitivity regarding *who* you are shooting and why.

And not all of it is bad (obviously). Tastes change, and perspectives change to fit the demographic.
I should add that I'm a lefty, living in L.A. Working in film.

thorstein38d ago

The Boys, Invincible, Jojo Rabbit, Deadpool, Gen V, Last of Us, Banshee... There are plenty of media being made today that people will claim "can't be made today".

Profchaos38d ago

Yeah but if you consider manhunt which was basically a snuff film could you seriously make that game with high than PS2 era graphics.

thorstein37d ago

The Outlast Trials just came out.

But the storyline of Manhunt was that you were executed. But then lived. And if you didn't do as you were told, you'd die. And the people you killed were not innocents.

It was all filmed by a psychopath.

As we speak GTA VI is being finished up for a release. You get to play a Bonnie and Clyde type of protagonist who run up against the law.

Bodycam looks so real.

People are making those games. Articles like this will always exist no matter how incorrect they are, no matter how many times they blame "them" for whatever it is "they" do to prevent "those" games from being made.

Number1TailzFan38d ago

The UK is the biggest junk country pandering to that nonsense as well, with laws against free speech and expression to match. It got so bad even Rowan Atkinson made a video on free speech about it.

Now the UK raises the age rating on harmless films like Mary Poppins, it's just a load of pansy weak ass nonsense.

MrDead38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

The right wing Tories have been in power in the UK for the 14 years you know the ones that are "anti-woke", blame them for your perceptions.

Killer2020UK38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Are these snowflakes in the room with us now?

This is more faux outrage designed to get hits. The consequences are unfortunately creating hysteria amongst those willing to buy into it and blame "them" or "the left" or "liberals" meanwhile the left are kicking off about genocide, actual real world abhorrent acts. Nobody is campaigning to censor this shit.

Huey_My_D_Long38d ago

Not too mention the fact that some of these game are controversial for you know, underage porn and encouraging rape.

So either the guy just came in to comment snowflakes without reading anything, or he is calling people snowflakes for having a problem with said titles. Crazy how much brain rot someone can have.

banger8839d ago

Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."

"Feminist Whore" lmao

gold_drake38d ago

ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.

its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.

ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.

Barlos38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

They're not offensive.

And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!

Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.

Deeeeznuuuts38d ago

Would love a new fat princess game 🤟

CantThinkOfAUsername38d ago

Games literally about sexual assault, mass genocide, bombing civilians, and school shooting. None of which is satirical.

isarai38d ago

Actually it's about fat princesses

Huey_My_D_Long38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Its crazy that people are fixated on Fat princess when clearly the list is going over controversies, and not all of them are equal. Like way worse examples but pretend the entire list is like that.

Left 4 Dead Writer Explains The Drawbacks Of Releasing Games In Early Access

He wants to launch all his projects initially through close beta.
