Valve's PSN Comments Disgusting ; Steam PS3 Campaign Opens

Justin D. of Neocrisis writes: "Only a few days after Gearbox's Randy Pitchford made comments about how Valve's stubbornness about PS3 development is only an excuse, it seems like Valve's answer to my question of whether they would prove either Randy or HipHopGamer right seems to sadly be the former answer.

CVG recently conducted an interview with Left 4 Dead project lead Chet Faliszek, and he made a comment that no one should ever make in the game industry about ANY community of gamers. This was aimed at the PS3 gamers, insulting them yet again by saying, "In hooking up with your friends and the community aspects, I think the Xbox 360 is head and shoulders above the PS3. The 360 and PC are on par, right?", and that Left 4 Dead 2 will be exclusive for that reason alone.

Never mind the fact that the community in Uncharted 2 seems to disprove Chet right "cheir", but it's also an amusing claim when you look at what the 360 community is made up of sometimes, and why Chet couldn't be any further from the truth, and should be fired for the comments. Meanwhile, we're going to do our part to make sure that Valve realizes their mistake...on Steam."

I think they're just mad cause of the time one of Sony's game Development team whooped them at their own game in TF2. It was something like 5-0, quite embarrassing and thus, they want REVENGE! lol

Wait, let's see if I can find the vid of it

...that they refuse to admit that the don't have proper training to create PS3 games and that they don't want to risk spending time and money on it.

Hate him for telling the truth, that makes sense. The 360 is better for community if you think otherwise your in denial or have never actually used Live.

So this is what people are going to cry about for the next week. Good all the COD hate was getting old.

LET THE TRUTH BE HEARD!

And why is it when dev doesn't work on the PS3 there automatically incapable of doing so, maybe they just don't want to. I don't see people complaining about Naughty Dog not making 360 games.

Anyways back to Dragon Age, I'll let you guys continue throwing your fits because someone bad mouthed your beloved PS3.

1.2 What has Turn 10 done other than make a great game, do you even have a reason to hate Turn 10 other than they made a 360 game.

The guy from Valve is right. There isnt a big community on PSN. Yes it has lots of players, but noone uses headsets online apart from on Call of Duty. How can you say that it has a good community when your trying to play a team game, and noone talks.

Im not a fanboy for any side, and i do enjoy valves games on the PC, but to say this is the reason for not developing L4D for the PS3 is a joke. At the end of the day they make a game for money, not whether people will play it within a community. Its just a crap excuse for saying we dont know how to port it to PS3.

Anyway, there is always PC for Valve games, if anyone really cares THAT much.
BUT it`s really unhealthy nowdays for a 3rd party not to release a game on as many platforms as possible because of some lame excuses.

1.20 - I feel that they can develop for whom they want to, but I disagree with their constant insults.
We'll see what their stance is after x-mas, though...and if Valve changes their mind, how the PS3 people will reject them. Look at Tekken 6, for example. I don't think it ever has such a slow start for sales considering what it did as exclusive versus it's multiplatform results. Tekken 5 sold about 274,402 in the first week on the PS3 alone; Tekken 6 sold around 313,633 total on both consoles. There's a market for fighting games, because SFIV sold really well, with an estimate of 500,644 in it's first week total multiplatform. That's just people that are pissed-off at what happened not buying the game... just like what will happen to Final Fantasy XIII's sales; it will take a hit in America, too.

One thing has to be said, Since a good number of PS3 owners bought the PS3 when it was a $600 console, a lot of them are people with cash that are pissed-off at the media, developers making shoddy ports, and 360 fanboys riding them hard for the first two years. The end result has been these PS3 owners are very proactive to the point they will complain when they are being screwed-over and are much more proactive than 360 owners. PS3 beta threads are like a firestorm sometimes.

You forget about this:

About this, who cares what some guy says about something he doesn't even know about and the article writer doesn't represent me, what he is trying to do, force valve to say sorry and after that release the game for PS3?

Is not gonna happen, don't follow this crap, for 3 years fanboys bash the PS3 and it's community and now because some ignorant talk too much, we'll take it as a offence, both don't know about the PS3 community so I don't care of anyone either

There is much better things to do in our lives to take this crap serious

" I don't see people complaining about Naughty Dog not making 360 games. "

Really? Did you just compare a first party company to a third-party company?

" And why is it when dev doesn't work on the PS3 there automatically incapable of doing so, maybe they just don't want to. I don't see people complaining about Naughty Dog not making 360 games. "

Because the dev said "Its Too difficult to develop for the PS3."
PS3 fans are just holding valve accountable for what they say.
Naughty dog didn't come out and say oh we don't make games on 360 because the development is too hard, instead they are truthful and say we prefer to work with Sony because our relationship with them. Valve just be real say you rather work on 360 & PC instead of belittling peoples console of choice and its community

1.25 - I always thought it was funny when they used the "PS3 is hard to work with" excuse
There are games which are drastically more technologically advanced than L4D 1 & 2 and they were ported to PS3 just fine. CoD4, WaW and MW2 look better than L4D and they were ported just fine to PS3. L4D 1 & 2's graphics are TERRIBLE and I refuse to believe there's some sort of invisible technology that is making it hard to port; I think Valve is just lazy.

Maybe Valve has finally realized the "PS3 is hard to work with" excuse is a load of BS so now they came up with a new BS excuse.

Valve just needs to admit that they're either lazy, or don't have the skills to work on non-PC platforms.

You are right, but you have to think is valve talking, If is someone I respect like Kojima, man I'll be the more pissed man in the world, but Kojima is an Smart person and knows about respect

Those valve guys were talking bad about PS3 since the beginning of this generation, they are in love with M$, is not like I care or not and is obvious that they don't want to make games for PS3, we can't force them either

But in order to not get pointed as M$ lovers, they make stupid and ignorant comments about PS3 like always, like this awful excuse that can't be made by a human being in the whole evolution of the humanity

I'll give them what they deserve, an insult an go away, they don't deserve more than that, I'll not give my money, I don't care about their games if they doesn't respect me

Everything I posted before was because this is not the first time, they don't shut the F*ck Up, If they say sorry about that stupid comment I'm ok with that but this is valve, their arrogance, fatness and love for M$ don't let them

Peace Out Man, I'm with you, but I don't expect anything from those F@T@$$ guys

Valves comments are despicable, lame, and insulting. Ps3 fans request an immediate and sincere apology. If you don't want to make games fine, but do NOT go around saying crap about the PS3 and it's fanbase. The PS3 has titles far ahead of you're own and with so much more quality. Valve respect= 0.

Seriously, does anyone actually use headsets for game related play? 90% of the time your listening to 2 @$$holes speaking Chinese(or whatever language on North American servers) and losers talking about their day or just having stupid conversations!

Then there's the $hit talkers who don't seem to realize that his opponents aren't hearing him and it is his team that has to hear his stupid comments and yelling! Especially down south Americans; You Europeans don't know what its like to play with those guys!

One time this high pitched kid started singing Sponge Bob songs! If this happens so much on PSN, I can only imagine how much worse it is on LIVE, with the abundance of racist, homophobics and twelve year olds. Usually end up turning my headset off!

Haven't seen a good use of headsets since capture the flag Warhawk!

He sure sid hurt alot of weak egos with his interview. Didn't the guys from Killzone say somthing about the Xbox? My point is no dev can make exclusives on any platform and say anything without some whiny kids boycotting it or making a petition. If DICE ever said they didn't like the 360 or PS3 because they don't like the colors white or black fanboys would be crying and starting an internet petition right away.

badz, How nice of you tell me what I know and don't know about. Truth is I probably use PSN more then most of the people here. I play the MAG beta almost every day. And I was playing Uncharted 2 and Demon Souls until my Blue-Ray drive went out a few weeks ago, I'm waiting for my 250 to show up right now.

At least unlike most of you I have valid opinion on the two networks because I use both of them allot. I am hardly trolling, im just not a blind fanboy like most of you and im not going kiss Sonys or MSs a$$ when I find something wrong with one of them. I tend to defend MS on this site because there's so much blind hatred for them that's unwarranted.

And since when is naughty dog first party they have no obligations to Sony they just choose to make games for them.

1.44 - yeah
its really too hard to add someone on ps3...

PSN community
goto friends section going right with analog stick, press up a few times, press X on "add a friend", type in friends name, type a message, then send.

Xbox community
goto my xbox, move right with analog stick, once if a game/disc is in, press A on your profile, press A again on messages, use analog stick and go left once, press A again to "add a friend" type in friends name, automated message pops up, you can create a voice message but not necessary, and then send.

man its looks 10 times harder to add a friend and have a community on the psn, i wouldn't even dare start a voice conversation, let alone a video feed, that's just unpossible.

@ Raiinstorm81
because naughydog has never said anything bad about MS or the 360, saying its too hard to program for or the community don't exist. I respect. Bungie and turn 10 as developers and wish their games were on the ps3, I hope you would feel the same for Naughtdog and other first party devs of sony.

For the community who supposedly is made up of an older audience, this whole "you insulted us" "you hurt are feelings and we'll show you!" is childish as hell... And honestly, laughable. The fact that you all won't admit that PSN is barren in terms of voice chat and communications simply dumbfounds me. (Besides SOCOM)

Then you have PS3 fanboys openly admitting:

Da Truth writes: "Haven't seen a good use of headsets since capture the flag Warhawk!"

Hmm... I dunno... Do you think this could be what Valve is talking about? THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMUNITY DOES NOT USE THEIR MICS! Why are you all taking what is a blatant truth as an insult?! The saying "The trust hurts." is no joke, I guess... Man the hell up and stop whining...

Snoop-yes that's why it's a crap game ON THE 360. On the PC, however, it looks better, there's a better community(for this game) and you get full mod and epdate suppoty from the community AND from Valve. Valve saying the 360 community is on a par with the PC over L4D is the sickest joke. You pay more for the neutered 360 version(I know as I have both)and get way, way less-and why? Cos MS won't allow their users anything for nothing and the reasons(outside of Valve's insecurities about the scary PS3 hardware)Valve wn't take it to PS3 include the likely fact that Sony(as witUT3) WOULD allow some decent support and make their mates at MS look like the tightwads towards their own that they really are. You get NOTHING free from MS and it cuts down on the work Valve have to do so Gabe and Chet get more burger time to think up insults for users of the "bogey" console that scares them so much-no wondr they imagine it's users are so scary!

Honestly, though, PSN didn't deserve this rubbish from someone who hasn't even looked into development and the constant tirades of hate and mistrust from Valve and their classy employees is now a joke in it's own right-plus if they were only going to offer the same L4D as 360 gets? Stick it up your ample asses Valve as it's such a pale , watery, fugly, unsupported and overpriced excuse for a L4D experience that on 360 left me feelin like Gabe had sat on me for a week.

Bloody Valve being stuck up for by 360 users who they're ripping off! Funny, at least PS3 owners escape that one! ALL PS360 owners(like myself) should demand more(or at least some decorum) from the nobs.
