Valve: 360 Community Head and Shoulders Above PS3

cyberwaffles - 45 days 7 hours ago

i like valve a lot, especially for their games on the PC. half life, half life mods, team fortress, half life 2, half life 2 episodes, and portal especially. i can live without them making a game on the ps3, but i don't see why they have to be on microsoft's junk about how XBL is better than PSN. PSN isn't much different than XBL and i wouldn't say it's a better community since so many a-holes are on XBL.

maybe if valve actually made games for the ps3, then they can say the community isn't as good. right now, the only valve...err i mean source engine game on the ps3 with online is team fortress 2 and that game doesn't get updates and wasn't meant for consoles to begin with.

i mean look at the COD communities between both consoles. they're exactly the same. i probably come across a few more people on XBL with mics since everyone gets one bundled, but nonetheless attract a big community.

i bet money if L4D was on the ps3, there would be a strong following on PSN for it as well. i for one, wouldn't buy it though. L4D is valve's worst shooter in my opinion. gets boring real fast.

if sony never announced PSN activity, how do you guys know XBOX Live has more activity than PSN? Based on what, your biased judgement? Hey your phone just rang, and it was BS calling.

So Valve prefers to work on the PC and 360, its home to them. Other devs find home on the PS3, they like it more... so what? This site is the worse gaming site on the net for whiny hurt feeling fanboys who in reality all realy want to play the games on the other console. Guess what fanbys can't have them all.

If you want to play the games on the other systems... save some money. So Live is better than PSN it's the money people pay for that makes it so. It sure isn't a reason for me not to buy a PS3. So Live is better I don't care PS3 has some kixk ass games to play.

Whats sad is the die hard Sony fanboys above (not you Sony fans there is a difference) want to play L4D so bad it's killing em inside. Jesus it's on 2 platforms PC and 360, freaking choose one save some money and play.

For one day in your in your butt hurt lives stop and think that each platform of choice isn't gods perfect gift of gaming. That the other guys just may have something that are just better. I can allmost vision the fanboys on this site sitting at their computers or consoles reading this with steam comming from their ears wanting to choke a puppy.

Shut up and go play somthing. I'm about to go play some Wii Sports and after that play some Flashpoint, Borderlands and Too Human.

That was just lame...

Plus, Left 4 Dead is way over rated. I played it for about under a month with a few of my friends and I couldn't do it anymore.

@above: Why to go defending moronic statements... In my opinion, Left 4 Dead should stay off the Playstation platform. I don't think that because I'm a fanboy or have anything against Valve, but because the game isn't great. I had a lot of fun at first, but it got really old, really fast.

I agree that there is no need to get worked up over this, but there is also no need to defend stupid ass statements from respected developers.

You got it all wrong dude. NO one above is begging Valve to develop games for the PS3, just to stop the excuses and the PS3 trash talking. Valves games can be played in any low spec pc for anyone really looking forward to them.

This Valve guy comment seems to me like a replay to Borderlands president comments. Lame, very lame.

They assume ps3 gamers don't game on PC and they fail to realise alot of the PC online community don't actually use headsets.

It's unbelievable how they can try and pass this off, what sort of idiots do they take us for? I mean I love Valve games but hearing things like this looses them alot of respect.

really work together, granted my 1 month of cod4 on 360 was just about the same as when i play on the psn, really the only difference was more people slaming each other more than them working together. I don't find people work together that much or if at all when ever i played, the only time it really happened was when i was with friends. Granted i didn't play l4d on the 360, so im not sure, but if Valve wanted to do something about it, release LFD 1 and 2 with a Mic and quit you b!tching. Im sure sony could throw in a mic, but that would only entail new people getting a mic, so what of the 27 other million. Yes i own a mic on the ps3 and cod4 is all run in gun, same exp as the 360.

Sorry to burst a few peoples bubbles, not every body on the system has a mic! In case some of you forgot, the Arcade 360 has been sold with out a mic for about a year now.

And just about ANY blu-tooth/USB headset can work with the PS3. so how hard is it to have a mic?

How the f*** can they say that? The PS3 has more in common with PC gaming than 360 does. Mostly in that ITS FREE. How does a community that promotes play to an exclusive portion of users appeal to them?

Maybe, just maybe, Valve look at the games we PS3 users get to play, and they know they cant compete. They use an old recycled engine with old outdated gameplay, and they have no new ideas. Why would we buy their games when we have things like God of War, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, Mag, Resistance, Infamous etc etc etc.

to remain 360 exclusive and keep coming up with new excuses as to why they didn't make a PS3 version.

Microsoft has bribed lot's of developers. With the PS3 consistently outselling the 360 it's going to become more expensive to bribe developers. It's all about opportunity cost.

It's actually possible to mathematically estimate the cost of a bribe with publicaly available information.

Wow Valve, a little hurt by the comments from the Borderlands producer? I thought you already said you weren't making the game on PS3 because it's too hard to develop for. I do agree 360 has stronger community features than PSN, but please don't make it an excuse as to why you didn't bring the game to PS3 when you already told us why it's not in development. This is the same BS the Borderlands producer was talking about when he said you were taking unnecessary shots at the PS3.

I get that maybe you don't want to play half life. Or half life 2. But to say valve is not a note worthy developer is retarded and fan boyish. Im a PC gamer at heart, but I own all the this gen consoles. And the truth is, they are a wonderful development team. Im not saying you have to love L4D, because I certainly don't, but when it comes to Valve North (in charge of the half life business) they make wonderful games. You can act like you don't want them, and maybe you don't, but don't claim it's because they're bad at their jobs. Because they're not, they're a business and they have to make decisions and stand by them. They're not fanboy's, they are just a company trying to make money and good games.

Is it okay to call you dummy? I think so because Valve didn't make that for PS3. It was ported after the 360 release like Bioshock you moron. Nothing is made for PS3 except exclusives. All multiplatform titles are made for 360(360 dev. kits) and ported over.

Valve is right. PSN has the worst community compared to PC and 360. Try getting someone to talk when you play battlefield: bad company. They don't even support their exclusives like the 360 community. It's not the 1st time you fanboys have heard this from other industry reps. Why are PS3 fanboys so oblivious to the truth and pick apart everything. One guy even called the guy ugly. SO WHAT? Doesn't change what he said or his credibility. I am sure you're not easy on the eyes either, nerd. PS3 and 360 are $300 and people are still fighting over what console is better. Since when did Sony start sending you fools checks?

firstly, even though the stereotype has been overused, there is still the fact that there are too many 10 year old idiots on XBL. secondly, if you wanna be a TRUE gamer, get a PC ffs. 360 controls are utterly crap compared to a mouse on a pc and even the dual shock 3 controllers.

If you are looking to actually play games online and not just socialize with your friends over headsets instead of actually hanging out with them, The PS3 has alot less lag than the 360. I have played COD4 on both systems using the same wired connection and I find that games on the 360 have almost twice as much lag as the PS3. Also, if you're going to make an idiotic claim that is completely untrue regarding PSN users and their use of headsets, make sure that you actually play an online match of any online PS3 game. More people use headsets than I see on the 360. The only thing that I can easily say is better on the 360 is cross-game party chat and seeing as how PSN users will be getting that soon, the one thing that xbots always bring to console fights is losing its touch.

it just doesn't make sense as a gamer, to go against sony. you can almost blame the economy for sony woes but even with that they are defying odds. M$ will keep gamers happy this next year but how many titles are lined up for 2011 which will really be a make or break year in this console cycle.
Once sony turns a profit ,their going to up the support for the ps3, and from what they showing right now, with some extra money to burn that is gonna be scary.
