Valve laughs off Left 4 Dead PS3

Valve has brushed off new rumours (again) of a PS3 version of Left 4 Dead, sparked by a rather decisive listing on a UK retailer website.

With not just a PS3 version listed, but a release date of June 5, EA down as the label and even the ability to pre-order the game right now, HMV seems pretty sure it's happening. More than an easily-missed typo-o, anyway.

[Johnny Rotten]

And 21 million AND GROWING potential customers say "oh well".

[acedoh]

some fear games like this coming to the PS3... As if their whole life will be endangered by exclusives becoming multiplat. Life does go on and I am sure this game will see light of day on the PS3. These companies are here to make money and when they see the chance at another million or more sales they know that it's inevitable that it's going to happen. The PS3 is not a risky console to put games on. Considering just in 2008 they had over a dozen games that hit at least a million. Most developers know the PS3 is a money maker...

[HolyOrangeCows]

HOWEVER, despite the headlines, I think they are more laughing off the retailer who falsely posted the Left 4 Dead Ps3 on their site.

But I'd bet my Left foot that it will someday get itself a port from EA.

[Rampant]

all of those customers already play it on pc, except for the ones that own both 360/ps3? At least that's what I'm being told.

[edhe]

but but but - don't all ps3 users also have a pc so they can still play MS 'exclusives' ?

[somekindofmike]

@ solidt12

Some would rather not give there money to MS for a bad product, that's why I have a PS3 and an Apple Mac (that and I have to use Mac for work)

I avoid all MS products like the plague!

[somekindofmike]

@ Beware Oblivion

I have a PS3, no 360 and I am not fuming over this not getting released!

admittedly I haven't played it, given the chance I would definitely give it a go! It's just a case of so many great games out at the moment that I'm not going to get upset or begrudge the 360 if it gets an exclusive title I don't get! That's life!

Is it really up there with the great multiplayer games this gen? will it compete with COD4 which a year on I still play regularly! not many games now a days provide that much reply value, and if it was up there with COD4 I definitely get it, that is if it was to ever was hop across to the PS3 side of life. if not I will just have to find some way to survive!

[Mindboggle]

I hate the way valve act like they have made the best game ever and it doesnt deserve to be on the PS3 and that people are begging at their knees to put it on PS3.

The reality is its just CS source with zombies. Its an average game which isnt any better than the FPS PS3 already has. I have the game on PC so im not fussed either way, I just dont like Valve's arrogance.

[GWAVE]

I love Valve's games, but I have no respect for their attitude. Left 4 Dead wasn't all that great. If they had given out more than 3 hours worth of game content and upped the textures, I might be more interested in it coming to the PS3, but if you want co-op look no further than Resistance 2 (where the enemies DON'T disappear 2 seconds after you kill them...)

[bigman7387]

I have both 360 and PS3 and I couldn't care less about this game. Yea, it's a decent shooter, and from what I've played of it (the co-op demo with 3 friends) its seems pretty solid. But if I wanted it bad enough, I would have bought it. But I didn't.

Would I care if Valve released it on PS3? Nope. Remember when Valve released The Orange Box on PS3 and it had the worst lag I've ever seen for an online game (TF2) and some of the most annoying framerate drops I've ever seen (HL2: E2).

Mindboggle is right, Valve does act extremely arrogant when it comes to the PS3. They scoff at anyone who owns a PS3 and turn their collective nose up.

[SL1M DADDY]

But, but, but... If the games are out on the PC wouldn't that mean that they are not Xbox 360 exclusive?

*doe stare*

[somekindofmike]

I agree that Valves attitude towards PS3 stinks, they have a complete lack of professionalism. It's alright to choose a platform and go with it, but to publicly talk down a competing platform is just childish.

It's just sad because as a PS3 owner I hope I don't miss out on Half Life 2 Episode 3, although with Valve's development cycles it probably won't be out until next gen :)

As a gamer in principle I would be more than happy for all games to be multiplatform, although there definitely is a quality difference when games are exclusive and I would miss that.

[Reeperdotcom]

sorry to burst your bubble but Valve did not work on the ps3 version of Orange Box, EA did. And the reason that Valve "scoffs" at the ps3 is because they have told Sony multiple times that their hardware was hard to program for but did Sony listen to Valve...actually did Sony listen to any of the developers that complained? I do agree that Valve acts like a child when it comes to the PS3 but they have some merit when it comes to not wanting to develop for the PS3. Frankly, I hope the PS3 gets L4D, it is one hell of a multiplayer game!

[bigman7387]

You're right it was EA who ported the Orange Box. I was wrong.

But I still can't wrap my head around a company (Valve) who is supposed to be one of the best in the business that is completely ignoring almost 1/3 of the gaming population. It's like if Toyota decided to stop making cars for Europe. Would it make any sense for them to do that? And would you accept the excuse that "It's too hard" when many other car companies can make cars for Europe just fine?

Valve has lost a lot of my respect this generation for their attitudes. It's not because it's the PS3 they hate, it's because they are just acting so childish regarding a major console.

[Mindboggle]

If you would read my post you would know i actually got the game. I bought it off Steam the first week of realese. And whatever you say this game is an average FPS with a zombie twist. Its a fun game but not in the same league as Halo, COD4, Killzone and even Resistance 2.

Valve act it would be a privelage for L4D to be realesed on PS3, when clearly Valve have their head up their ass and believe theyve made the best thing sice sliced bread and being completely ignorant to the 20 million + PS3 customers.

And how can I be a fanboy for thinking L4D is average ?? I do not own a 360 but I own almost every Microsft realesed game, including Halo 1,2 and Gears of War for PC. Thats why I dont need a 360.

And Bigman I agree with you. I have lost all Respect for Valve for simply being the biggest fanboy in all of this.

[Sarick]

Woah, seriously I think if EA didn't own valve they might have been another Factor 5.

If customers are signing your paychecks don't try and make them look like idiots for owning a console or wishful thinking. Like the OP said "21 million AND GROWING potential customers" It's like slapping those customers in the face when Valve says comments like this.

[L-a-i-n]

Any gamer out wants more games for their system. That is just fact, but company's like Valve just love to spit in the faces of people who want to be their costumers. It is just outright rude and annoying. That is why I could care less about Valve or anything they ever do. What if Bioware did something like this to you 360 guys about every game they make? You would be really pissed off right. I believe Valve as a company is good, but the people running it are just the worst kind of arrogant. Without those fans you guys spit on you would be in the unemployment line. EA needs to sell them to Microsoft and get it overwith.

[UnwanteDreamz]

Phuck Valve and not because they havent made L4D on PS3. They could at least acknoledge that these rumors, and the attention they get, is a complement.

Please spare me the "hard to develop for" excuse. I heard it with the PS1 and the PS2 and it is getting old. Do you realise where console gaming would be now if they catered to developers?

Hint: Its called a PC consoles would be dead.

[agentace]

..Hippocrate

[locos85]

This is why Valve will never see my money, no matter how good their game is. They are such ignorant pricks!!!! They aren't dissing the PS3 they are dissing us who bought a PS3.

[Consoldtobots]

I fail to see how the guy from valve dismissed anything, if anything it sounds like EA went ahead and had another team port it to Ps3. Sounds more like the guy trying to be diplomatic. Fanboys are grasping at straws as they see the ice under their favorite console start showing cracks.

[Beast_Master]

Doesn't this game only have 5 levels? It looks cool but doesn't have the long term playability, level up system like COD and R2, why is Halo and COD4 still played more on XBL? those games have been out over a year before L4D. Valve already lost out on the PS3 base so don't bother.

[LinuxGuru]

EA doesn't own Valve.

@ below...you mean PC & 360, lol

[SaiyanFury]

Yeah Gabe Newell already called PS3 gamers "a waste of time". Oh well, so I don't get to try Left 4 Dead. With Demon's Souls, X-Edge and so many other great games coming on PS3, I can't say I really want to try it anyways. Funny thing is, I also own a 360 and could get it if I wanted to.

Edit: Yeah LinuxGuru, I realised my mistake and changed my post here. :)

[evilmonkey501]

But it does own all publishing rights of valve software for a long while(years)....so they have the last say ....fortunately or unfortunately , however you wanna see it...

[Joey Greco RULES]

for all the whiners out there.
"So it's PC and 360 exclusive still, but PS3 owners can always hope."
they said it, not me.

if L4D is such a "crappy" game, then why be so upset about it?

[Why dis]

This happens with every good 360 game when the PS3 lineup is hyped and later in the year shrinks.

[No Way]

You're an idiot. Left 4 Dead is not a bad product..

[hippo24]

Im utterly baffled that someone would say L4D is a bad game. Unless your just really hate shooters, zombies, and playing with friends.

The gameplay is as high polished as it gets, the game is fun, and you can play it with friends.

I could understand the game not being your "Slice -o- pie" but to say its a BAD game is to smack around originality and good game elements.(not to mention one of the best developers of our time)

[likedamaster]

"But it does own all publishing rights of valve software for a long while(years)....so they have the last say ....fortunately or unfortunately , however you wanna see it..."

I'm going to disagree here. As in Disney and Pixar, EA has no rights whatsoever over Valve software.

[hippo24]

@likedamaster

That's a tricky road to go down because its all dependent on what is outlined in the agreement, I doubt Valve handed the entire rights of every aspect of the game to EA, just so they could publish it. Valve likes to hang on to its titles and if they really did hand out all the rights to EA then expect a "Left 2 Die", a "Left B3hind" and many other squeals to be following in their footsteps.

Now if we could somehow break into EA's office and find out what their business contract is, we could put any and all rumors to rest, but my "Sneak" level isn't high enough for that sort of stunt.

[Marquis_de_Sade]

Picked up a copy of Left 4 Dead today after it has finally received a price drop to £29.99 in Game. Haven't played it too much yet, but looks decent enough and should provide a source of entertainment during the run in to Killzone 2.

[RememberThe357]

is that they're supposed to be some of the most brilliant people in the industry, yet they hate the PS3 because they can't figure out how to program for it. Thats seems very contradictory to me.

[cayal]

I have a PS3 and 360 and I am not getting this game. I will not support a lazy developer who won't develop for a console because it is 'too hard'.

If it came to PS3, I still wouldn't get this game. In fact I'd mod my 360 just so I could get this game illegally just to stick it up that gluttonous prick Gabe Newell.

[somekindofmike]

@ No Way

You misunderstood, I never said Left 4 Dead was a bad product! I said Microsoft have produced bad products being Windows and the 360, which despite having many great games you have to be the definition of a fan boy to defend the build quality of the product.

Left 4 Dead is a Valve/EA product and one which I definitely would give a go if it were to appear on a system which I owned.

[FF7numbaone]

as long as gabe fat ass is with valve I will never give them money. he Can keep his games because I do have a ps3 and pc but anything is free on pc. (borrow a copy,etc)

[Marquis_de_Sade]

RememberThe357, Valves main audience has, and always will be, the PC market. It's simply because the 360 has architecture similar to that of a PC whereas the PS3 is very different.

[Raz]

The HMV listing is there, all right; but EA's website lists it as only for 360 and PC - and certainly Valve's site doesn't say anything about it.

Methinks somebody either faked out HMV, or somebody at HMV is playing a joke.

[prunchess]

There is a sh!t load of top games on the PS3 and the shoddiness of Valves work would be just shown up. Smell you long time Valve!

[Nonsense 4 Gamers]

Gabe Newell is a fat sack who got KillZOWNED. He has got to be jealous.

[Teabag]

It might be better to just write an Xbox 360 emulator for the PS3.

I'll see what I can knock up today :)

[PirateThom]

"So it's PC and 360 exclusive still"

So, it's multiplatform?

[Kratos215]

very true

[SlippyMadFrog]

It's a microsoft exclusive. Either way, msoft gets your money. Those of you buying it on PC to "stick it to the man" will fill msoft's pockets.

[hippo24]

Do I need to whip out my definition of an Exclusive???

even if a company denies access to the DS then its an exclusive.

[HighDefinition]

Snap!

[gaffyh]

@SlippyMadFrog- I'm not 100% sure about this, but I don't think MS make ANY money from PC games, because publishers don't have to pay a royalty fee for PC games. Also even the use of the "Games For Windows" brand is royalty free according to this article ( http://www.eurogamer.net/ar... Meaning MS doesn't make any money from PC games, which kinda destroys the argument that it's "Microsoft Exclusive".

I know you'll say that "buh buh but you have to buy Windows to play the games", but that argument is completely retarded, cos 99% of computers come with Windows already pre-installed, you can't do anything about it. MS doesn't make any more money from it, during the lifecycle of the product. Whereas with Xbox 360, companies have to pay royalty fees for every game and every disc.

PC & 360 are 2 different platforms = Multi-platform. But the game is obviously console exclusive on 360, so that's something.

[SlippyMadFrog]

Good points but it is in Msoft's interest if the PC market is healthy. Windows comes pre-loaded on PC's which means that every PC sold means one copy of windows sold. If Sony owned the majority of the PC O/S market you would have seen the same thing with PS3 exclusives.

Msoft doesn't profit directly from games sold on the PC but a copy of windows is still needed to play PC games.

[gametheory]

"It's a microsoft exclusive. Either way, msoft gets your money. Those of you buying it on PC to "stick it to the man" will fill msoft's pockets. "

Retarded argument. The point of buying a PC game instead of a 360 game is to get the superior experience and not risk getting RROD, not to mention that "LIVE" is free and the games are cheaper.

Is everyone a fanboy in your world? Besides, it's a given that people already use windows anyway, so Microsoft makes less money from the games you buy. Furthermore, one Xbox 360 less means less support for it and (perhaps) more support for PS3 (but you couldn't think about that one now, could you?).

Also, is it "Microsoft exclusive" like Bioshock and every other timed exclusive?

[gaffyh]

@slippy - True, but I'm guessing that MS doesn't get as much money from those preloaded copies than if they sold straight to the consumer. But I get what you're saying.

[Sarick]

I'm pretty sure the "games for windows" and DirectX code game design shortcuts into windows. These shortcuts use dev kits to make it easy to put on PC. They also allow the game unification.

I don't run games on my PC but I know there is a games explorer on it.

These windows games features could be sold to game developers on a royalty base. That means every time a developer decides to use the Games for windows features MS could charge them for the service shortcuts.

In this case the developer wouldn't be paying for the right to utilize the hardware but the right to use the services and features that make it easier to code games for windows.

I take it Valve does pay royalties just not the same type or percentage as the console market.

[akiraburn]

@SlippyMadFrog, not to sound boisterous or contradict you, but what I imagine a decent chunk of people do/did, was to just snag a pirated copy off a torrent site, mIRC, or a newsgroup, and install it on their machine which is most likely running on an already ripped copy of Windows or Linux. Thereby they aren't contributing at all on the PC end of Microsoft's income.

I know you specifically mentioned those people actually buying it on PC, but the fact it's on PC means it can easily be ripped by one of the warez groups out there. The reason I bring this up, is mainly due to what the Crysis developer Crytek mentioned about their game's launch. About how a large amount of their game's sales ended up being forfeit due to the piracy rate on PC, and how they realize how important it is now to develop for consoles due to the dramatically reduced piracy rates.

[Sarcasm]

"It's a microsoft exclusive"

*sigh*

One day I'll hack N4G and mod all the idiots myself.

[blackpanther25]

"It's a microsoft exclusive. Either way, msoft gets your money. Those of you buying it on PC to "stick it to the man" will fill msoft's pockets."

I dont care if i lose bubles, but i gotta say this you are a narrow-minded fool.
I don't care about this ps3 L4D crap. Personally i have two copies for my high end pc. What gets me pissed is that you are insinuating that anybody who plays games on their PC(instead of a 360)is sticking it to "da man". How about people who love to build computers, cg students, tech savy people, or etc who happened to have a high end PC because they love( or must to have) a high end computer.

For the love of god open your damn eyes. Everything is not a Motherfcuking war between microsoft and sony.

[SlippyMadFrog]

@ Sarick
I agree. Microsoft contributed lots to the PC gaming scene with directX and they surely charge something for developers to use it. Not to mention licensing fees for development languages and environments like Visual Studio, VB, C#, ect.

@ Akiraburn
Piracy is a different topic altogether. I agree that it is plaguing PC gaming and anyone who is developing for it. Msoft is facing the same issues with Xbox 360 piracy going rampant. I guess it comes with the territory.

*edit

@ Black Panther
"What gets me pissed is that you are insinuating that anybody who plays games on their PC(instead of a 360)is sticking it to "da man""
I was replying to PirateThom(and many PS3 fanboys) who clearly is using the argument against the 360, not "anybody who plays games on their PC".

[FF7numbaone]

Hey so you wanna play the Microsoft exclusive role and be a fanboy. funny thing is a could be a fanboy and not pay for those microsft exclusives and still play them anyway. Not saying I would but I could. Any1 can, so M$ may never see that money from the game.

[zootang]

I played this on the pc an it could come out on the Ps2 by the look of the graphics. 4 levels?

[OmarJA]

It's not the graphics, the game doesn't bring anything new...

it's like a CS zombie mod.

[ReTarDedFisHy]

LIKE a CS Zombie mod?
Try EXACTLY like a CS zombie mod.
Okay, I'm exaggerating because it isn't EXACTLY like CS zombie - it feels like a $50 Half-life 2 mod that should've been free and would have won MotY from Mod DB :}

I felt ripped off huge. In fact, I get more play time on Zombie Panic: Source... pssh.

[zag]

I have PC and PS3 and I'm not fussed about getting this on PC let alone on a console.

[Mr_Bun]

Is no one going to mention the zombie game in Saint's Row 2 that actually came with game...in other words, it was free with SR2?

[SlippyMadFrog]

It sold over a million already, I think it's at 2 million. Not bad for a "CS zombie mod".

[hippo24]

Ummm....wow....if anyone wants to criticize L4D then you may use the following arguments

-To short"

-Not enough content"

-Not enough weapons"

-Zoey"

Anything other than that is selling the game short of its Ingenuity, there are problems with L4D but unoriginality is NOT one of them.

[Keowrath]

Mr Bun, I played the SR2 zombie game and it was ok, I played L4D 2 player around a friends house on their 360 and it was fun, better than the SR mini game by quite a long shot but I can imagine it getting old VERY very quickly.

Can the SR mini game be played 2 players? I never checked.

[Mr_Bun]

I'm not sure if it can be played with 2 players...I'll admit that L4D is more fun than the SR2 mini-game, but I didn't find the lasting appeal. I played it once, beat it, and wasn't really interested to play it again. I don't think that it warrants the full price and I think that it should have been 29.99 at most.

[GrammarPolice]

Here's the thing- money talks. And right now, the money is with the 360. They have made the decision to polish their standing with 360 owners, or more accurately, fanboys, by bashing the PS3. While it may be a good move to strengthen customer loyalty, they are taking a huge gamble if they shut out the PS3. We all know how bad the economy is these days, businesses are folding by the hour. If companies are to survive, they need customers and ignoring a large and growing section of potential customers and revenue is irresponsible to stakeholders, especially for 3rd party developers. Once the PS3 hits the tipping point, I see Valve changing their tune.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

yep and whats funny EA make the most money on PS3

[PotNoodle]

Nah, i think if the 360 wasn't so much like the PC in terms of development i don't think they would of even touched it.

Shame though, i would rebuy this game on PS3.

[HolyOrangeCows]

I google that and I confirm. That's strange...

[solidt12]

Yeah Money Talks and there are alot of PS3 owners out there with money. That is why it will be on the PS3 one day. EA

[VampHuntD]

He didn't deny it! I still don't think it's more than a mistake right now, but I also think it's going to happen sooner rather than later. That statement is a more of a "I can't comment on that issue".

[artzm]

@GrammarPolice, your pointing out exactly why they are choosing not to put games on the the PS3.... it costs money. Something which you pointed out everyone is lacking right now except for MS apparently who is willing to pay studios to develop for there system. Money talks, MS has it and Sony doesn't therefore Valve can't afford to develop for PS3. They aren't ignoring many customers, plenty of PS3 owners own a 360 and/or sadly just use there PS3 as a Blu-Ray player.

@imdaboss explain to me why EA's largest selling franchise sells more on the 360? The reason they make more on the PS3... it's a hell of a lot cheaper to port a game than it is to develop a game.

[GrammarPolice]

Extend your argument out a bit. Pretty sure they would recover their development costs many times over in sales. You have to spend money to make money.

[tako2000]

never care about this workshop, and never will

[no-spin]

2009 is ruined for PS3 owners
no left for dead
no halo on halo doing halo

lmao

who does this valve fatty thinks he is?
PS3 owners wont buy it, too much exclusives that will take away those $60

[hippo24]

so no one would by L4D because they alrady bought a game?

Please elaborate why anyone who is not a poor 12 year old that has to get mommy to buy his games, would not be willing to spend money on a good game?

Im sorry the economy is tight but not that tight.

[no-spin]

PS3 gamers have great options when they what to buy a game with this year's lineup. Is very likely that L4D would receive little attention between KZ2, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, Infamous, SF 4, RE 5.

tell me what you think...

[hippo24]

The same case could be made with its Xbox release It had to vie for attention during the holiday season, but it seemed to sell fairly well for a new IP.

Why could this not be done on the ps3, I mean there aren't that many more games coming out this year then the last. If all else fails release it over the summer, and Im sure you'll get a few sales.

Unfortunately we may never know :(

[no-spin]

how much L4D sold?
anyway, assuming it did good, it was among GOW2, and fable 2
well that is fair competition, good for valve then

[fafoon]

Should be a Playstation Store Game
At Best

[DA_SHREDDER]

Agreed. Its only 5 gigs of space.. Only 4 levels, 4 weapons, 4 characters, not even 4 hours of gameplay. Ive played longer games on my old NES. Actually now that I think about it. Every game that I can think of on the NES was longer and worth more then left 4 broke.

[Reeperdotcom]

dude...here is a hint when making comments. If you want anyone to listen to what you have to say then stop sounding like the Anne Coulter of fanboys. Seriously, L4D isn't amount length its about the director. It changes you play experience everytime you play, and Valve has already confirmed map packs coming out. And if the rumors are true then the map packs will be free...for PC at least. Give credit where credit is due man.

[Gobuz]

Mass Effect 2 is coming to PS3 (confirmed) and maybe Left 4 Dead.. Gloomy days ahead for Xbox 360...

[mcgrawgamer]

the only thing that comes to your mind is gloomy days ahead for the 360?

yeah your a real gamer....

[Jerk120]

It's okay.

He knows it's not going to happen.

No reason for him to be happy.

[Gobuz]

I actually got Left4Dead on the PC. That's the problem with 360 exclusives, you can play them on the PC anyway, so not that bothered.

Yep, i hate the 360 and i hate the little sh*ts like Killzone2flop that thinks the 360 is the best thing to come out of bill gates arse. I have no love for the 360 or the idiots that troll every PS3 article.

And saying gloomy days ahead for 360 is the truth, 360 fanboys always go on about Left4dead and Mass Effect like it's their frickin holy grail.You fanboys have been diggin at PS3 owners since the console came out, so now what goes around comes around.

You got no games for 2009 and the exclusives you did have are going multi-platform.

[mcgrawgamer]

hmm, well friend first and foremost I'm far from a "fanboy" as you so eloquently put me in the same category as other 360 loyalist. I have all 3 consoles friend. my 360 is mainly for my kids though I do use it to play with my friends who are not on the pc. I also have a ps3 and I'll be enjoying kz2, uncharted 2, gowIII, among other games as they come out for the platform.

Your response bothers me, seeing as you only hate the 360 because of the trash 360 loyalist were talking during the launch of the system. This eye for a eye tooth for a tooth mentality is very troublesome for a old gamer like me. I remember back when I was coming up during the nintendo sega days we loved multiplat games, save for a few features added or missing to certain games we discussed the games not the console it was on.

Maybe if you spent less time harping on what 360 loyalist said 2 to 3 years ago and spent more time enjoying and discussing games you wouldn't be so bitter today.

just a thought

[king dong]

can you post a link that actually CONFIRMS a ps3 version of mass effect2??

if not, be quiet ey!

anyway, l4d = a quality game! if you dont have it, you're missing out! simple as that.

[hippo24]

The OP is quite a comedian.
Unless he wasn't being sarcastic?

[JD_Shadow]

http://www.n4g.com/News-271...

There's your proof. Just please don't even try to bring a certain name up that someone tried to shove down our throats about that one to try to disprove the possibility.

[jack who]

Left 4 Dead PS3 ha ahhahahhahahhahahaha

[OmarJA]

Why laughing ? do you think the ps3 owners care about some generic CS type game when Killzone 2 is around the corner ?

[jack who]

yup looks like they do...they even faked a so call l4d ps3 per order

[SSCOOLCHEA]

couldn't sell on the ps3 . ps3 owners would never buy this garbage. we love our exclusive don't you bots get it . never bought anything by valve so there not laughing at me .

[trancefreak]

no thanks valve is good on pc for me but thats how i like it. Xbox left for dead is also a great game but i dont think its worth its current price @ $59.99. ps3 has its own top notch exclusives id rather have this year instead of a port? No way EA.

[ravinshield]

laugh valve

[dukadork2]

dude, we've got so much stuff going on ps3, we don't have time for half assed pc ports.

so thx but no thx
moving on, kz2 demo is thursday right?

[hippo24]

Yea who likes good games by good developers, l4D is a sack of crap....FOCK YEA KILLZONE 2 WILL RAPE ITS INDIVIDUALITY WITH ITS GENERIC FIST.

[lokiroo420]

Thats funny because ps3 laughs at l4d graphics, only on the xbox 36wii.

[TheBlackSmoke]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA funny that you can run Left4dead even on a 4 year old PC HAHAHAHA... That means PS3 owners can never pla.....oh wait....umm umm........ SALES! NPD ,USA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN WORRRRRRLLLLLLD! DLC DLC!!

Sorry mate, every PS3 owner who comments on n4g has a PC capable of running L4D. No point in trying to make out like any of us care, theres just too many games coming out multiplatform and PS3 exclusive for me to even consider the OFN that is L4D. Not saying its a crappy game but if i wanted it so badly i can buy it off steam and be playing within an hour, so yeah... u fail.

[hippo24]

and that's a bad thing...more people playing a good game that is progressing the industry is bad?

[Llort]

Gabe probably started eating a hamburger covered in whip cream and deep fried in maple syrup when he saw how poorly Left 4 Dead sold on the Xbox 360.

They're probably begging EA for them to port it to the PS3 immediately to make up on lost sales.

1.8 Million Retail sales? I wipe my ass with that.

[smeg0rz]

is Gabe Newell is best friends with Bill Gates - He used to work for MS. Seriously, someone should digg this up. For a start I know they play(ed) poker together :)

[rev20]

Loving the hate for this game in the comment just because its not on the ps3.

Left4Dead is awesome, the best co-op game of this gen you can't complete it on expert without working together communication and teamwork is vital. There is hardly any other games which require such teamwork so its a joy to play.

If your not playing it on expert online with 3 other people you wont get the most out of the game.

[zag]

for a FPS on PC it doesn't offer much in fact it doesn't even look exciting, really you can just get CS or some other mods for any FPS and probably get a better co-op game.

[rev20]

Zag

Play it and come back to me the game is awesome and even with the lack of levels the replayability is great.

If you have 3 friends with the game its fantastic.

[jwatt]

Yea as a Sony fan I can't stand when we do this, say what you will about left4Dead it is a blast to play with your friends. My brother does not play ANY other game online besides madden but when he played L4D he was hooked. Just because it's not on the ps3 doesn't mean you have to bash it.

[ryuzu]

and really - awesome is the way it might be described by someone who either hasn't played many FPS's or has a pro-MS axe to grind on here.

The reality is this is a short lived game. It's fun initially, but once the fun has worn off, there is little to come back for.

Compare it to something like CS, DoD, TF2 - those are games I still play years after release. I haven't loaded L4D since about a week after its release.

While this would probably be alright on PS3 - it's only curiosity and "box checking" that makes it attractive, the actual game is really rather missable.

r.

[rev20]

Comparing Left4Dead which is basically just a co-op game im not really gonna class versus as a proper competitive mode. To a game thats been popular for 5 years + and even has a remake source which is just as popular too is stupid.

No co-op game will ever be as popular as competitive games just for the sheer lack of people that can play at once.

[king dong]

totally agree. top notch co-op experience. and an incredibly entertaining versus mode...man i love being a hunter or smoker! and when you finally take out the whole team a mere two or tree foot from the safe room. it is very satisfying, and is always something that brings a chuckle from my pals that i game with.

l4d is on of the best games available at the mo imo!

jwatt: great comment, you deserve your bubbles mate! so have another one for not being a blinkered fanboy like a very large majority on n4g!

bubbles + and rev20 also!

[Neurotoxin]

My opinion is its a Timed Exclusive, is probably already being Ported by EA, Will be announced in April, Will come out in November and will be Broken.

[peeps]

timed exclusive perhaps. if the cost of porting it is reasonal comapred to the money they predict they will make then i can't see why they wouldn't. doesn't really effect me though tbh since i have a 360 and a powerful pc but didn't buy it due to it looking a bit repetative/ non of my mates bought it and think its only really worth it if your playing with friends rather than people you don't know

[killzone2flop]

Hahahahhaha hahahahaha

[OmarJA]

Hahahahhaha hahahahaha Banjo was a flop...

oh wait! why am i wasting time replaying to a retard like you.

[cryymoar]

In other news: Killzone 2 actually HAS replay value.

[trancefreak]

PP you know i have a wireless pc/360 controller for my Hardcore gaming rig which makes my pc feel like an 360 on steroids.

Ya thats right every knew game feels like it was designed for the remote if its not fps. So i can do whatever you do but better haa - a few exclusives.

left for dead is 49.99 on pc and a price cut should come soon. Then i will be the rehashed counterstrike source zombie mod

[TheBlackSmoke]

More breaking news!

It seems that reports are coming in but not yet confirmed that Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts has sold more than 10 copies!! We will be updating you throughout the day.

[Don_Frappucino]

Its too late for l4d. If it had come out on PS3 with the 360 version i may have contemplated purchasing it. But PS3 has got Co-op in the form of resistance and RE5. Seriously, who would L4D over them? Its graphics were outdated a year ago, although its gameplay is good. Personally i think they shouldn't bother.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...the 'xBox 360' WILL BE!!! ;-D
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, don't want it Gabe Newell(Fat Princess), looks like a N64 game!!! ;-D

[ultimolu]

...I'm not surprised.

[Sez]

damn. first ME2, now L4D. when will the madness end. don't worry i have a cup of care. to catch your tears sonyfanboys. it will be ok.

[cryymoar]

when are they gona grow some balls and develop on the PS3 without whining about it.

[hippo24]

When they finally get the development tools down, then the devs will stop complaining.

[dale1]

its coming and hmv confirmed it,also game said it is on there release list from ea so what now,its on pc for anyone who can,t wait so its hardly exclusive now.

[blodulv]

all this Left 4 Dead praise has really left me scratching my head and I think the Valve stamp on it has alot to do with it. To damn repetitive imo. Zombies swarm, you start shooting like a madman, repeat. There's even those finale moments were they actually let you know when they're coming?!?! "Prepare for the Horde, Here they come!"

I just don't see how this game can have a shelf life at all, whether there's new maps or not. I had it for about a month on 360 before trading it in. The one thing I thought they did do right was in re-creating that B horror film atmosphere. Other than that, meh. Clunky controls, outdated Source engine etc.... Plenty of other games to look forward to rather than hoping this one goes to the PS3. If anything this game is best suited for the PC anyways.

[Firstkn1ghT]

No Mass Effect 2 and Left 4 Dead for ps3??? I feel sorry for you sony fans. :*(

[Ashton]

if they are confirmed within the next3 months then feel sorry for the 360.

(i m a gamer and not a fanboy but you were asking for it ;) )

[HighDefinition]

I used to want L4D, but not anymore. Maybe for $15-$20.

[OmarJA]

For you're own sake i hope they don't come to the PS3...

you guys need all the games you can get...

we still getting BS2 & DR2 though, & maybe SC.

[king dong]

i think you need a girlfriend and a life more mate. after reading some of your comments, it's apparent that you are lacking both in a big way!

omarJA=nasim...how many accounts is that now??

[bigman7387]

I feel sorry for a 360 butt-lover who feels the need to enter a PS3 thread to make himself feel better.

[HighDefinition]

If your gonna insult me...couldn`t you atleast use your other profile.

LOL.

[THC CELL]

d2 said the same about bioshock

[TheMART]

And Sony says the same about MGS4

While Konami is 3rd party too.

So?

[Dimitri]

You see someone already disagreed with you. Probably a jealous XBOX 360 fanboy that doesnt get those amazing exclusives this year..

So whos console is superior ??

[ReTarDedFisHy]

...WTF?
His point was that BioShock eventually made it's way onto the PS3 despite strong denials by T2.

What do you mean "So?"

[TheMART]

Fishy, your name fits you right:

"d2 said the same about bioshock"

What he means obviously is that as d2 now Valve says L4D won't hit the PS3, and he wants to imply that because Bioshock in the end did end up on the PS3, L4D will also.

Well if we follow that logic, then other games made by 3rd party devs that are said to stay exclusive will come over to other platforms also. Thus, Konami being 3rd party said by Sony to be PS3 exclusive will make it to the 360.

You understand now what his comment was all about? No? Fish just need to be eaten.

EDIT

@ the Afghanistani below

Right. Thats why games have the best versions on the 360, sharpest, best frame rate etc etc.

You keep telling yourself that. THe PS3 and the 360 are about equal in what they can deliver with on major advantage the 360 is easier to program for. One has slightly extra's in one area, the other in another thing. But overall for a gamer the game would look and feel about the same on both platforms as the real hardware technicians have stated they have about the same output overall.

Ofcourse, you believe Sony's marketing blabla with TFLOPS. Same trick as they tried to pull with the PS2.

[AbdullaMTR]

bu but the problem is the 360 cant handle mgs4 FART

[ReTarDedFisHy]

That was an unnecessary explanation. Did you seriously think that I didn't know what he was talking about? Damn, I'll just stop here.

[Graphics Whore]

Sony would totally let MGS4 Go... Mart your an idiot.

[XxSpiiKeZxX]

WTF!!!!!!
im sorry man you can say 360 got better multiplatoform games(for now) but dnt go and say it has the better graphics but it dont
the best graphics are born on the ps3 and MGS4 proved that and so will KZ2 which i dont have to say how beatiful it is

now MGS4 is "possible" on the 360 but it can fit in a frikin DVD
you would have multiple discz
the same for KZ2

[n to the b]

@Fishy - u r full of it, man. sad that u r lying to hide your enbarassment at having been owned by Mart.

@Mart - careful when trying to argue a point using actual logic on n4g. usually only gets u many disagrees.

[Llort]

You're standing to close to Mart's pubic area.

[VaeVictus]

PS3 owners aren't missing anything special. It's a 4 hour rinse and repeat marathon that loses any appeal about 2 hours in. You encounter the same enemies and situations over and over again.

[N2NOther]

I don't have to worry about it because I own both consoles like any self-respecting gamer should. I like games WAY more than I like any one console. Though it is a shame for PS3 owners. A lot of them would agree that it's a blast of a game to play with friends both in campaign and versus.

[xg-ei8ht]

Valve Rep Knocking PS3 Again.

Valve Losing lots of new Customers and the potential to have a massive fanbase. Priceless.

I've already Played it on PC. Was good. But should have been alot lot better.

MESSAGE TO VALVE:

Try and update your Graphics Engine To PS3 Quality First.

If you cannot do this, you are masters of nothing.

Remember Valve, It's all in the SPU.

[SlippyMadFrog]

I don't think Valve care about a bunch of fanboys who take the console wars personally. PS3 game sales are the worst of the 3 next-gen platforms so why should they care?

[bigman7387]

Go look up on google which console EA makes the most money on.

[HighDefinition]

Slippy`s livin in the past.

[SlippyMadFrog]

Since when is EA the only developer in the world? Go look up the Xbox360 software sales vs PS3 software sales

[bigman7387]

Well considering this affects only Valve, and in doing so, EA, I would say that EA is the only one we need to be concerned about in this sense.

(i.e. the only developer in the world)

Also, EA is not the only one to report the most profit from the PS3, I believe that Ubisoft and Activision reported that the PS3 had a greater profit.

[evrfighter]

uhhhh EA just publishes the ports and that's if Valve wants to port. Valve and EA are not the same nor is one owned by the other.

Its entertaining how you believe EA makes all the decisions for Valve.

Slippy is right btw. Valve can care less what a bunch of console fanboys think. They aren't console devs. It doesn't matter how much of EA titles sell more on whatever console. The fact of the matter is that the decision to pull the trigger on a port lies entirely with Valve

[Bazookajoe_83]

They need to port it to stop the rumors, if it gets a port i can recommend to buy it when it hits 20$. Fun to play with a friend, single player and multiplayer isnt that good.

[shadowghost752]

In all fairness HMV can't be trusted, they listed MGS4 as a preorder for 360

http://www.gamesindustry.bi...

[McLuvn]

Gabe Newell=elitist douche bag.

[Larry Fine]

I would love to play mass effect on ps3, but the mindless zombie game they can keep. I played the demo and really didn't like it. It seemed cheaply done.

[kewlkat007]

Anyone still playing that on PS3?

If some really wanna play it, Yes, you can still get it on the PC(If you want to) Remember the BEST version Logic, never fails.

This game was one of those late announcement sleepers which ended up winning awards and selling quite well.

[zonetrooper5]

Valve makes alot of money from the PC market, 360 market and Steam. Even the, they aren't big enough to handle making a game for three platforms.

[Dante43]

Who cares, Left 4 Dead SUCKED DONKEY ASS, it was horrible, the graphics are mediocre,gameplay is lame, the zombie are stupid and your teammates does most of the job.

[TheMART]

Right. That's why it is rated 9 out of 10 average

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

you dude are a PS3 fantard that can't play games seen your comment on L4D a great and fun game.

[zagibu]

Left 4 Dead is a great Multiplayer game, but it seriously lacks content. They have to release the SDK NOW.

[OhReginald]

games not even that good to begin with...people think its like the messiah of zombie games :/

[stonecold3]

and plus with resident evil5 coming its going to be better than this lame game plus this game has been out since november 08 it looks like a xbox1 game and with killzone 2 fast on the horizon i think killzone well sell more than this game alone

[zagibu]

Wow, you are comparing three completely different games against each other, good job!

[CrayzeeCarl]

Why do people check retailers to find out if/when a game comes out for a particular system? The retailers don't know anything! Go to the source!

[SupaPlaya]

he will regret all the negativity he has towards one particular console.

[evrfighter]

and the day after that they will go back to work and make more pc games. All the while smiling at how successful steam is.

[YouNoob]

the ps3 is laughable. pathetic is probably more accurate tho. just like the fony user base.

[L-a-i-n]

I can not say that I care. I will never buy anything else from Valve. They are like little kids. If they don't get their way they throw a fit. I say the PS3 is better off without them. I also think EA should drop them on their buts and buy a company that cares about gaming.

[IQUITN4G]

Like many here i also didn't like the game much at all

And then i played it some more and boy was i wrong

Basically anyone on here saying this game is boring or that there really isn't much to it is talking sh!te

The game is almost too much fun but you probably wont think so at first

[LONEWOLF231]

They always do this, they first deny then a couple of months later SURPRISE SURPRISE looky what just hit all major retailers. This game is one of the most played games in Steam and LIVE and soon it will hit PSN as well.

[kenjix]

Why would anyone want to play Leftovers engine 4 dead consoles?

Killzone 2 nuff said

[TheMART]

Because L4D has great 4 player co-op story mode gameplay like no other game has that way and KZ2 has NO co-op at all? That's pretty lame for a game that releases in 2009, while Gears 1 even did it without hassle in 2006 already. Just plain lame, a big option missed in KZ2.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Haze had a 4-player co-op story mode before L4D. That doesn't mean it's good.

L4D is only fun if you're at a LAN party...and even then...most people just want to go back to Counter Strike.

[FFXI101]

What great story mode?? both single player and muti player feels like playing arcade game.

There isn't a story besides to stay alive. It was fun for the first two hours, then it gets old real quick. To me gears has better co-op and Horde mode was more fun and challenging than L4D.(and Mart R2 has a better co-op than L4D)

To me, I could care less if it comes to PS3 or not, cause like other people say, we have a great list of games coming out and KillZone 2 is only about 20 days away. It won't make different if L4D is coming out now, later or never.

[hippo24]

Im saddened if the people above me even represent 5% of the hardcore audience...we truly have no future if we can't enjoy generally good and inventive games like L4D.

Ohh well there's always generic FPS #2343 coming around the corner followed by #2344, because thats all we want, screw gameplay quality, I WANT GENERIC GAMES THAT LOOK GOOD.

Im quickly loosing faith in humanity.

[Alcohog]

I laugh off L4D for consoles.

[omegaortega]

L4D is pretty crappy on 360 and I'm sure it wouldn't be too much better on PS3 compared to the PC version.

I love pissing off all my 360 buddies over Live while I'm on my PC lol.

[Gantrfaxx]

about L4D.
We all know which game is coming to Ps3 this month so i guess we won't be hungry for other FPS game on Ps3 for at least 6 months.
I know i don't want to buy any game from Valve, i have enough other games to buy that definitely deserve my money more.

[tatotiburon]

Valve just crap on your face graphic whore lol

[trancefreak]

sorta like marts sellout dutch boys face

[Graphics Whore]

I never said L4D was coming out on PS3, but now that valve posted only 1.8 million retail copies sold (Xbox 360), I'm sure they're thinking otherwise.

I just find it really ironic all these department retail stores gearing up for L4D on PS3. Makes you wonder :).

[clintos59]

But seriously after the lousy job with orange box, sorry but ill stick with the 360 version even if they did make a port for the ps3. Besides that ps3 owners have a better game to look forward too, with killzone 2.

Also killzone 2 graphics makes left 4 dead laughable. Not being a fanboy, just stating the obvious truth to these lazy devs.

[Knightofelemia]

Even Square doe not laugh in the face of the Ps3 least they are bringing some games to the Ps3 but still making exclusives 360. As for Valve laughing at the Ps3 go ahead but they will loose the fans who want the game to come to the system. Personally i would not mind the game coming to the PS3 infact I look forward to it because i want to see how it runs on the PS3. Until then i will settle for L4D on my 360 and i enjoy playing it.

[InMyOpinion]

Valve chose not to develop for the PS3 because it's hardware isn't as accessible as the 360. I don't they would get enough ROI by making a PS3 version to make it worthwhile.

Anyways, funny quote:

"A Valve rep, however, mocked the listing, saying to CVG: 'Fantastic. I can't wait to see it.'"

[Reeperdotcom]

I completely agree with you..but you should be careful when using terms like ROI b/c this is n4g and any statement with some kind of reason or logic isnt allowed here.

[ToeKneeHaze]

Left 4 Dead is MEDIOCRE

Bad animations, Bad controls, non-scary zombies, boring gameplay

I bought it for my 360 and sold it to someone else within a week

No loss for PS3 users.

[myke6699]

What I really wany is KZ2 and Feb 27 can't come fast enough. My intel Mac runs Windows (Bootcamp) but I still can't get myself to Steam to get L4D. I guess it's not that importanto.

[somethingSQUISHY]

N4G has somehow managed to contract every Sony extremist fanboy to post en masse on every remotely anti-PS3 article. It's getting to the point where I can hardly stand reading comments anymore.

Listen, L4D isn't about length in the usual sense of the word. Just as many COD4 was not judged on the length of its SP but mostly on the strength and replayability of it's MP, so goes L4D. It's a brilliant game.

However, it bothers me that Valve has enought time to "laugh off" speculation of a potential PS3 port, but has not been able to release any information regarding the 360 patch we desperately need and haven't heard anything about in over a month (PC has had it since mid-January).

[omegaortega]

Valve, thats your loss.

Bringing L4D to another capable platform would bring them more cash... It's not like people will not buy it. It's a brainless fps (until you get hardcore with it) thats easy to get into, its insanely popular for a new I.P., and seriously the PS3's install base isn't small anymore, and will be increased significantly thanks to Killzone and a $299 price tag.

So Valve, stop being fanboys.

[NaiNaiNai]

im sorry if i recall. ALL SONY FANS SAID "WE DON'T NEED IT ON PS3. WE CAN GET IT ON PC, WHO NEEDS THE POS XBOX 360"

can't deny that fact. and now you want the game after its is actually good. LMFAO.

you spin me right round baby right round.
-nai-

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

It's going to take Bioware and Valve to slap Playstation fans in the face and say "no! Mass Effect and Left 4 Dead arn't going to the PS3!" but (sigh) it wont stop them from drooling over the games and making new rumors.

[terrandragon]

Okay, I think when they say Microsoft exclusive, I think they mean their software stuff like Windows. Now if Sony had some PC software....

[Majors]

PS3 Owners laugh off Valves lack of support...
After all it's their loss and when they do eventually release a ps3 game we will laugh and say no thanks... Anyway its about time they upgraded the engine they use, Its rubbish.

[tonywood]

Valve is an awesome developer, HOWEVER, not having a sloppy PC port on the PS3 is not that big a deal. Really? $50 bucks for a 4 hour game? I thought the 360 was capable of graphics that were better than Nintendo wii quality?

yea, I know I just pissed off alot of people, but the truth is the truth. Resistance 2 is better than this game...no need in bringing COD 4, World at War, Gears 1 or 2, Halo 1, 2, or 3, or even R6 vegas 1 and 2.

[poeo]

read this Valve: in 2005 i upgraded my PC for the sole reason of getting to play Half-Life 2, first PC game in over a decade i was interested in, it was like the most amazing game ever with the incredible physics engine and all, i was SO HYPED...

...but i never even finished the game. in the end, after toying around with the fancy new physics for a while, the game just fell flat for me. i didnt care about the story AT ALL. Half-Life 2, aside from the physics, ended up being one of the biggest gaming disappointments of all time for me. also, i completely WASTED almost 2 years of my life playing CS:Source, until i realized how truly crap it was. i never got any true satisfaction out of it, even when i was doing pretty good, something always felt a bit "wrong" with the game. it just wasnt fun, i was only addicted to improving my K/D ratio and that was it... pretty sickening actually, and i feel dirty and ashamed for even having touched the game. luckily, i then got a PS3 and COD4, and actually started having FUN gaming!

so, not everyone worships your games Valve! (Counter-Strike isn't even really their game though)

and i'm not a Sony loyalist, there ARE developers who could make me ditch the PS3 in an instant. Bethesda for example. if they made Fallout 4 or Elder Scrolls 5 exclusive to 360/PC, i wouldnt touch my PS3 for weeks or months. but screw Valve.

[LeGenDx]

zombie mod, if you ever played this why would you need life4dead?

[hippo24]

yea...if you liked the zombie mod then you will like L4D.

Or does the argument that "I played Doom so I never need to play a FPS again" still apply

[Magic_The_Celt]

Nah, i doubt itl happen

such a shame, valve is like the stubborn old man who wont just come round

They could make so much more money if they release it on all platforms

But lets get real, the reason they wont is because they cant, some Devs just arnt skilled enough to get round the PS3 hardware.

Killzone 2, guerrilla games
MGS4, Konami
Uncharted 1&2, Naughty Dog

these devs prove what the PS3 can do.

That being said, i love the orange box and Left 4 Dead.

[collin1986]

I want someone to tell me whats so good about L4D, and i will argue the point thats its a 7.5/10, L4D has a crappy SP, 4 hours of coop play, a horrible graphics engine, the only good thing L4D is the fact that it doesnt push my 360 to death when im playing it.I wouldn't want this game on ps3,it's a 360 exclusive and not an amazing one.Quit exaggerating L4D's worth.

[lelik]

didn't valve get owned at their own game by sony? i thought that would of been enough to start making ps3 games. what an embarrassment.

[Kurylo3d]

counterstrike... actually is valves game... they bought it back in the days of cs 1 and they hired the guy who made it... so it is valves... just like team fortress....

Besides that left 4 dead did stuff that no shooter has done yet. Thats what sets it apart and thats what makes it fun. Playing as the infected monsters is just crazy fun... hunting the 4 other players... and the ai for the zombies.. is just awesome how they run full speed at you climbing things and beating down doors.

people could bad mouth valve all they want... but valve has the most popular multiplayer games in the industry. Valve has 1.6 million users on at the same time right now... playing their games...if u check the stats... Right now there is 100,000 people playing counter strike source this minute... about 80,000 playing counter strike for half life 1... about 50,000 playing left for dead. Numbers of people playing their gmaes dont lie 20,000 playing team fortress too..

These arent numbers of how many players total.. this is numbers of how many players online and playing... at 12:36 pm...on wed... lol.. during school and work hours.

ps.. this also doesnt count the many many many mods for halflife 2 being played... like the 1000 playing zombie panic at this moment.

Valve software sells other companies games through steam aswell... bioshock... eidos games... id games.... just about every company now sells their games through valve steam online... so this company is genious and i love their products.

[Lombax]

Valve is the laziest most over hyped studio I have ever seen.

Left 4 Dead got a better overall score than Resistance 2 by a lot of reviewers. Even though R2 had better co-op, 8 players, more weapons, more enemy types, more level veriety, and a Frickin SP campaign. Plus 60 player competitive modes.

Metacritic:

Resistance 2: 87/100

Left 4 Dead: 90/100

Hm? o.0?!

Oh, and Left 4 Dead is coming to the PS3. Orange Box, anyone? Valve is just to lazy to port it to the PS3.

I can't wait to see what those c0cky bastards do when they realize all PCs are moving towards parallel programing. xD

P.S.

I did not like Half life. I played both 1 and 2. The gravity gun was fun, but other than that I was bored with them. Especially the vehicle parts. Blah...

[Kurylo3d]

resistance 2 coop isnt anything on left 4 dead... its just like halo coop... its more random guys shooting at u and stuff... left 4 dead has the type of creatures that have neveer been done... like 100 running out at the same time. It has ways of being incapacitated by the bigger creatures. Resistance 2 is nothing more then another shooter... left 4 dead improved on an already good formula by creating a new game from it with cool abilities.... u really havent played as the infected have u lol.... playing as the hunter and as the tank. its hot..

oh and ps... left 4 dead supports multi cores. Thats not their problem anymore lol. They improved the engine.

[Lombax]

Uh...

Uhm...

I'm sorry, I don't, I can't....

Uh...

What? o.0?

Zombies have never been done in a game before?

100 on screen enemies?

Uhm...

[terrandragon]

You are just mad because you got owned by a Hunter.

[Lombax]

xD Maybeh

But...

Halo co-op was the same as the single player campaign, but with 4 people.

Resistance had a completely separate co-op campaign with 8 people, 3 classes, special powers/berserks for each class, and a leveling system. The levels would start you out at different points with different objectives and sometimes even put a boss in there.

Zombies have been done before, man. Lots of times. The "types" of zombies may be new, but the game play mechanics behind them are not.

100 zombies on screen? PC maybe, but not the 360, Duder.

The 360s muti core has 2 cores, the PS3 6 SPUs/cores. And the Cells 8 SPUs are just the beginning. How many SUPs/cores do you think the PS4 will have, or any PC 10 years from now? The more SPUs/cores the harder it is to program for, to get all the SPUs/cores to work together.

[rickybadman]

Valve does not employ any PS3 developers. The Orange Box PS3 version was handled by EA not Valve. Valve number one priority has always been to the PC gamer, their core audience. Since the 360 is so easy to develop for they can port the PC code to the Xbox without running up production cost. Even iD Software ways that when you add the PS3 to the development you are doubling alot of your workload. PS3 owners are so Killzone crazy why would Valve waste millions on a game that will not be supported.

[Kurylo3d]

u know what boggles the mind here... why are people even commenting on this if they think "screw left 4 dead" when they have resistance.

I mean wouldnt u just ignore it if u didnt care. Seems to me they are mad they cant get it. But to be honest... to hell with buying left 4 dead on a console.. i have it on pc... too many zombies coming at u to be using a controller.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

No.

There's just really nothing better to do right now. I mean...I'm done with homework for today...and I'm making a Little Big Planet level as I type.

What else am I gonna do?

[madpuppy]

The first one is that they're programming skill is honed to the PC/360 and they try to get the best results from those platforms.

OR

Gabe Newell and his company are lazy and would rather make fun of the PS3 than to learn how to port a game to it.

Personally, from what I have read about Gabe Newell's comments concerning the PS3, I would say that Valve is Lazy and limited in their abilities to change.

Frankly, I am a Fan of Valve. I have been playing their games since HL1 and I own the the orange box on steam and even had a box copy of HL2 when it came out. even so, I played the demo of L4D and wasn't impressed. so I really don't care if it ever gets ported, Or any of Valves games for that matter. the PC is fine for these games.

[dooge]

I was bummed at first when I heard L4D wasn't coming to PS3, but then I got a chance to play for about 3 hours total. Within that time I beat the game and was halfway through the campaign a second time. For craps sake there are only 5 guns in the game...5! I also got my fill of the crappy Humans vs Zombies multiplayer. I thought it would be cool to play as a zombie, but when you die within 10 seconds of re-spawning it takes all the fun away. No way would I spend $60 on this game. Don't care too much about it not coming to PS3.

[TheOutsider]

Can laugh all they want! cause in the end they all will be KILLZOWNED!! along with that one fat twinkie eating Developer! Valve = LAZY And Their games = $HIT!!!!!! PLAY BEYOND VALVE!! oh oh wait you can't, PS3 to advance for your LAZY A$$ES! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

[Enigma_2099]

... that's usually the general vibe I get around here...

And I see all the talk of Section 8 has died down... that's a suprise. You KNOW how much we PS3 owners just oh so wanted that game... that we didn't even know existed.

[terrandragon]

Because you are oblivious to the outside world. Ever heard of Stormrise? I bet you haven't.

[Enigma_2099]

... I was unaware of your existance, too. In fact, I really wish you didn't...

If it's not coming to the PS3, and you're not shooting your traps off about it, why would I know about it?

Maybe if you hyped it more? But careful... you could be accused of overhyping a day or so later... kinda like Killzone II was...

[Obama]

I haven't played the game for a month already ever since I started VC. It got boring in around 2 weeks, so ps3 fans are not missing much.

[Enigma_2099]

... I think Newell's having all his checks signed by Kim and Greenberg.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

It's really not worth 60 bucks, guys.

I bought it for 40 when there was a deal on Steam. I don't even think it was worth that. It's fun...but not that much fun. It's good for LAN parties though...but Counter Strike, Unreal Tournament, and Battlefield 2 still seem to be more favored than L4D at these parties.

[solar]

u console turds are such whiny babies. "wahhhhh! a developer doesnt like the ps3! waaaaah! kz2 didnt get all 10/10's and being nitpicked! waaaaaahh!"

jealousy breeds hate.

[JD_Shadow]

And with that you've proven that you completely missed the point.

[solar]

hey dark whats up buddy? how ya been?

no i know what the point is. im not going to state it again. its been said.

can we argue over a 720p graphics comparison of RE5 now? those are always entertaining. :D

[madpuppy]

you are making fun of PS3 owners ( I don't care if you say you own the PS3) Gabe Newell doesn't have to have the atitude he has with the PS3. How hard is it for him to admit that they don't have the ability to learn and make games on the PS3 platform?
It's easy... let's see what it would look like:

Some gamer mag: So, Mister Newell, Will we be seeing any ports of your games to the New Playstation platform?
Gabe Newell: Well, ahem....No, we are a small developer and really don't have the ability to learn another consoles architecture.

See, now how hard would have that been?
If Gabe "the face of Valve" Newell was less of a pretentious bag of attitude, he wouldn't and doesn't need to be defended by "sunlight light refracting through water boy"

[terrandragon]

Okay then, why don't YOU go out and make that port. All by yourself, considering that fact that you just said they are a small team and they didn't even do that Orange Box port, EA did.

[madpuppy]

I really don't care if ANY valve game gets ported, It is the ATTITUDE that Gabe Newell has toward the PS3 that gets me and everyone else angry, instead of him blaming Sony he should just admit Valve's LACK of resources and/or ability to port the game over. Why is that so hard? instead of calling the PS3 "a waste of everybody’s time" Just admit you cannot do it! that your not up to the task. that you don't have the skill to do a decent port?
Is Mr. Newell's head so big he would rather blame everything but his teams ability?
This reminds me when HL2 came out and they made a deal with ATI (that was back when ATI sucked compared to Nvidia) and Mr. Newell came out and said stuff like the ATI chipset is so much better that Nvidia's and that Nvidia wasn't really all that good. I really don't understand why he had to say anything, You made a deal with ATI, put an animated ATI bink video at the start of the game and a ATI logo on the box and don't say anything. allways with the stupid remarks. Gabe Newell has allways been good at saying unnecessarily stupid things for no reason at all.

[Jaces]

Remember Bioshock....?

Hmm, think on that for awhile.

Could care less for L4D from what a friend who played it on his 360 told me. Said the first hour was great...then it got real old real fast.

[djroberts]

Wow, Valve is so dumb. They are alienating Sony and losing money not at least creating a port.

[Marty8370]

So your telling me if Valve was approached by another developer willing too code L4D for PS3 and offered cash for the license, that they would'nt except. Bullsh#t.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Of course they would.

If Guerrilla came up to them and asked if they could program a PS3 version, they would crap themselves...

[hippo24]

Have you heard of a thing called return investment...

[bigjclassic]

That got into the home console market this gen, and are basically taking sides. I dont mind when 2nd parties snub rival consoles, well because they are a 2nd party studio. Valve(PS3) and Epic(Wii) are two example of PC devs getting into the console market and bashing consoles for no reason. I'll say it for those who are scared:

Half-life 1+2=overrated
UT=actually good games
TF2=mediocre
Gears1=great
Gears2=CRAP

I can understand if they were Capcom and laughing @ PS3, but for a company that is really getting into the console market, that's dumb and will probably bite them in the butt later.

[Pika-pie]

I guess valve dont like money. Oh well, guess il just have to spend my money elsewhere.

[Charlie_Shene]

not comming to PS3, ever! I hope to god im wrong but im not.

[zonetrooper5]

You guys do know that Valve isn't that big of a company, for them to try and learn how to develop for the PS3 while trying to make games on the 360 and PC would just be silly.

Valve has Steam, this is making them quite a bit of money and then add in the 360 market and you got alot of money already. I think it more along the lines that Valve doesn't want to overstrech itself. Hell they still give DLC out for free for alot of their games on the PC, they even wanted to give out DLC for TF2 on the Xbox 360 for free yet MS told them they had to charge. I like the fact that Valve has built a good engine which runs on alot of PC's, even then alot of thier games are so polished. Plus I support a dev which gives out free DLC, I'm sick of this nickle and dime cuture amongst the games industry.

Second, why would you buy a Valve game for a console when the best version is on the PC. The Source Engine runs on alot of old PC's and it now supports multicore processors, still a bit flaky but they should be improved.

[solar]

the sony fanboys will never understand that logic Zone. it's so sad that the gaming community cant stop drinking the sony koolaid and accept those facts.

[04soldier]

This could be like a Geico commercial. " Thats the money you could be making with PS3 owners..." :[][] $$$

[NexGen76]

To be honest PS3 owner's could care less about this game.Its the media that calling for this game on PS3 just to make head lines.

[no-spin]

now i dont have anything to play on my PS3
2009 is ruined!
:)

[Joey Greco RULES]

*goes back to work.....*

[devilhunterx]

Video please! I want to see the fatboy laugh.

[blakstarz]

Valve sounds like they are intimidated by the PS3....maybe it just goes to show that they are novices at coding and developing and complacent with just doing PC and 360 games....they need to get with the times.....just admit, you don't know how to program for the PS3....and the days of saying "The PS3 is hard to develop for..." is a joke now....Guerrilla Games, Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch have proven this myth to be false....hell, if a company like EA (which has a history of crappy ports or multiplatform mishaps to the PS3 in the past) can get their act together and start making great games like Deadspace, Burnout: Paradise...etc. Then there is no reason to people like Valve to keep hiding behind the fact that they are clueless about developing for the PS3.

[solar]

why do you care so much about if a Valve game makes it to the ps3? Valve is staying within their means...whats wrong with that?

i dont see Blizzard making ps3 games, i dont see Crytek making ps3 games....so are they both lazy, clueless developers too? hell! every developer who doesnt develop for the ps3 are lazy! yeah i said it!

cry some more.

[madpuppy]

"i dont see Blizzard making ps3 games, i dont see Crytek making ps3 games....so are they both lazy, clueless developers too?"

It's funny I never read anywhere about Blizzard or Crytek saying that the PS3 is "a waste of time" and that they hate the cell processor? ONLY Gabe "I am better than you" Newell.

Matter of fact Didn't Crytek buy Free Radical, a PS3 developer?

Please, if Valve doesn't have the ability to port to the PS3, they should just say they don't have the skill. and not blame the hardware.

[JD_Shadow]

...but he wasn't avaliable. I did leave a voice message as "priority", and I hope that I can get an answer soon to clarify or to at least make sure that the mockery wasn't intentional. I hope to get an answer soon regarding this.

@solar above: You just don't care about the point, do you? I was wrong about you, actually.

Please get it. It's the attitude that Valve was showing regarding this (or at least its representative). Maybe if you actually read what was said and the tone CVG said it was given, you'd get what the issue is here. It's HIGHLY unprofessional and something I'd hope the higher-ups would be frowning upon. And it's not just Sony fanboys that are crying foul over Valve's ignorance and stubbornness. Why is it that anyone that says anything negative about Valve HAS to be a PS3 fanboy to you? You DO realize that some 360 fanboys don't like their games either, do you? We HAVE to love Valve to get your approval?

[Silly Mammo]

Couldn't careless if it comes to the PS3. I having it for the PC, because I just can't get the hang of the gamepad with shooters. Keyboard and mouse are the only way to go.

[JHUX]

Don't see whats the big deal, anyone with a PC can get it to run, Any decent computer can play l4d. It is a fun multiplayer game, but not justified by it's price. I play it a lot, but I wish I had waited for a deal to pop up instead of paying 50bucks on STEAM to download it.. all well.

[funkybudda]

Now PS3 has KZ2, who gives a damn about this PC/Xbox title?

[blakstarz]

@solar....

If learned to read more carefully, you would see that I didn't say anything about wanting the game PS3 (I have a 360 as well and have the game L4D..thank you very much) and you are missing the point....Valve dismissed the PS3 as "waste of time" which translates to me that you a complacent with what you know, but don't take potshots at the PS3 if you have no clue how to approach developing for it, they would of been better of saying "the PS3 is just something we not interested in developing for" that is a total different rhetoric than saying the latter...which again, translates to me, that you are clueless by the hardware and rather stay in your lane with x86 architecture.

[BGDad]

Got it on my PC which looks better than the 360 version and was also free...

[Magna Farta]

I think people need to realize that Valve is to Sony what Sega used to be to Nintendo. Bitter enemies that may make up in about 20 years.

Gabe Newell makes himself very clear every time the ps3 is brought up. He hates it, and probably has a dart board with a picture of a ps3 on it.

Sadly, that's why whenever I see a new valve game or a game made using the Source engine, I usually thumb my way through the article knowing I'm not gonna play it.

There's nothing wrong with Valve's games, but I think the whole "lets be assholes to the PS3 crowd" attitude is getting old.

[solar]

just remember....us Valve guys didnt start attacking Sony (oh yeah, i own a ps3 not a 360) about the ps3. Sony guys starting attacking Valve because they dont have the means to learn the programming and because Gabe stated his opinion that the Ps3 launch was a disaster. it was a disaster. the ps3 should be in the lead in this stupid console war. and its not.

Valve had to borrow all the guys from the TF2 team to finish the work on L4D to get it out for its release. Valve is not a big company or backed by a major publisher with fat wallets. what more do you want from them?

i could give two sh1ts if said A developer doesnt like the ps3 or says its a waste of time. who cares? really. its their opinion. i dont have to agree with it but that doesnt make them lazy or untalented if they cant afford to learn a new tech. Valve is busy doing Portal 2, TF2 and L4D DLC, HL2 Ep.3, updating Steam with new games from EA and the likes. and who knows what else. as a small developer you can only do to much. but hell! lets crap on them. this so called gaming bible that no one has ever seen said that every developer must love and cherish ever platform out on the market today.

cry some more.

[Noc]

in that nobody should be denying that Valve is a talented developer, but a lot of gamers obviously feel a little insulted by Valve's attitude towards the PS3.

Some ppl might be all "holy sh!t Gabe's an asshat!" and what not, but I think most gamers are more confused as to why Valve keeps acting incredibly condescendingly *about* the platform.

It's pretty common knowledge that most developers have found it challenging to work on, but that's old news. Valve is pretty much acting all "higher-than-thou" in their approach, which is what is grating on people's nerves. The whole anti-ps3 rant that gabe has polarized people on has been downright childish.

It's also public knowledge that Sony is eating some humble pie right now and offering (through first party studios like Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica) developer-to-developer assistance towards making it easier for people to code for the PS3. I mean Gabe's position continues to be polarized in that he wants to see the PS3 fail and how dare Sony even think of backing up a system that is so much different from the status quo, that he refuses to consider collaboration.

It's Gabe's right to his own opinion and to whom he wants to release the game for. Nobody can *force* him to release a game for ANY platform if he chooses not to. But his excuses are getting old and really, for people watching, when someone knows they screwed up and offers assistance to complaints (a la Sony), do we really want to see the opposite party pretty much turn their back and say "no piss off"? It wouldn't hurt Gabe to try and be civil about it, but it's his childish (and it IS childish...) attitude that is rubbing people the wrong way.

It really shouldn't have anything to do with L4D - it is a fun game that would sell well on the PS3, but like you said, in their defense, Valve *is* most likely busy trying to pump out new games and arguably, may not have the time/money to bother with porting their current games to other platforms. That's just the way it is. But Gabe's attitude remains stubbornly against the idea that Valve needs to work with PS3 code. Which is his prerogative, but the assistance Sony offers now makes it a weaker reason to *not* develop for them.

[evrfighter]

Nono solar isn't missing the point. In fact he hit the nail right on the head. and I agreed 100% with his statement

you may not like it but people have opinions. Valve is of the opinion that the ps3 is just not worth porting for. just face it, accept it, and get over it. Sony assistance means nothing if the manpower resources just aren't there. They are obviously making a damn fine pretty penny with the steam platform. That formula is working for them. If they feel they can skip the ps3 entirely. Then it must mean they are doing really well for themselves.

[CobraKai]

Everytime I hear Valve and how they hate PS3 or whatnot, it just makes them seem lazy. Seeing Killzone 2 shows what a developer can do when they put their hearts into it.

[KKanjiAnkh]

Honestly L4D, is alright, yeah it's fast, frantic, & intense, cool & all, but it takes what 3-4 hrs to beat. This games should've been 30 dollars, or should've been a least a rent, and PS3 only owners could, catch it at a friends house, w/ a 360 or P.C. I never lost sleep over that craptastitic excuse, for what was supposed to be called Shadowrun cause the SNES & Genesis versions where WAY better.
Regardless of what we know, Gabe said, who cares, shooters R shooters & they come a dime a dozen. The 360 is to busy trying with 4 entities.
Nintendo- for trying to match it's sells, & wanna be kid friendly approach
Sony- Diversified games library, & all around plethora of different choices
P.C.- They have way to many lackluster FPS & RTS
Themselves- All the rest of MS money, never game them a personality, to honestly shine on their own, ever major game they have, and big brother P.C., laughs in their face.

[deividpaulo]

enfia esse jogo medonho bem dentro do CU..valve, empresa ridicula que nao agraga nada ao PS3...

[MK24ever]

É isso mesmo caralho, aqui ao menos ninguém nos entende.

[KKanjiAnkh]

I originally typed on P.C
They have way to many enhanced RTS & FPS, obviously for 360 tpo handle

[0verdrive]

as a ps3 only owner, i have to say that im a bit disappointed that this game didnt make it to the ps3, but if it did, i doubt id buy it for any console.

i have the pc version, and have played the 360 version for a substancial amount of time, and i can say with utmost certainty that while i thoroughly enjoyed the pc version of the game, the 360 version of this game is complete garbage. the graphics are far inferior than those rendered on even a midlevel machine. the controls, which are really made for kb+m, work pretty poorly with a controller. mouse aim still completely serves controller sticks up when it comes to shooters. on top of that, the pc version receives updates, addons, mods, and new maps that the 360 owners dont even know exist. pay 60 dollars for a game that valve does not support on 360 is NOT a good investment, the way i see it.

that being said, im still ever so slightly disappointed that valve gives no love the the ps3. theres a slight chance that id consider picking it up for ps3 if i could convince enough of my friends to play, despite the obvious weaknesses of console shooters. but its pretty insulting the way valve treats the ps3, just because the ps3 does not have standard pc architecture while the 360 does. dont get me wrong, have a lot of respect for valve, as i think counterstrike was a huge milestone in fps games and i still to this day compare the gameplay of fps games to cs. but its their poor attitude and their unwillingness to adapt that have made me look down on this once incredible company. its for that reason that i dled my pc copy of l4d and just play cracked servers. if valve gives no love, it receives no love from me.

[ironcreed]

Games like KZ2, MGS4, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, ect are possible on the PS3, yet Valve continually finds excuses not to want to work on the system. Despite all of their whining about how hard it is to work with, all of these other devs have dove right in and have produced some truly fantastic games. Yet Valve could not even be bothered to make a port of the Orange Box, so they had EA do it. Not to mention, here we are, STILL waiting on that Half-Life 3 while they are continuing to milk the hell out of Half-Life 2 year after year.

Sorry to say, as much as I love Half-Life, this only serves to prove that good ole' Valve are not as talented as fanboys think they are, else they would have no problem learning and working with the PS3 like so many other devs are doing who are PROVING what can be done with the system. So keep on whining, Valve, there are plenty of other COMPETENT developers who are more than making a mark on the PS3....proving you DEAD WRONG with every game they release.

[Advari]

Valve not releasing L4D on PS3 who cares I am not loosing any sleep on it boo hoo L4D is not coming to PS3 mean while I will be playing Killzone 2

[zonetrooper5]

Most of the games you listed are first party developers with a ton of cash and only one platform to work on. First party devs have more time, support and cash to work on their games. EA, Konami, Activision all have a ton of cash, they are big publishes etc.

I will have to repeat myself again, Valve are a medium sized company who is independent. They know that if they try and work on the PS3, it will overstretch them and it will cost them alot of money to learn. Valve already has the Xbox 360 and PC platforms to develop on, do you really think they have enough manpower to deal with a third platform and do you want them to just release crap instead of them taking their time and making a great game?

[SprayandPreycom]

beat all four of the levels it has got 5 great gaming hours from it havent played it since gave to a freind to play... its funny though how ps3 and nintendo are always fighting for the scraps from 360 go play little big planet or something

[Amnesiac]

Gabe Newell is so fat he literally will die from a totally un-eaten twinkie lodged in his Aorta.

[Jaces]

Again, I love my gray zone.

Although, I always wondered why some companies and developers have to go out of their way to bash this or that system.

Seriously sometimes they are just as bad as some of the fanboys out there.

[air1]

do you sony fanatics ever look forward to more then just 1 game??

you fanatics do it all the time, who cares if game x doesnt come to the ps3 i'll be playing game x at that time.

no wonder why sony does so bad on the software sales. i know kz2 will be great, but damn get off that high horse you think you on. l4d is a great game too, but i know kz2 has killer graphics and thats all that matters this gen, sony is lucky that last gen there wasnt that many graphics whores, we all know that even the frikin gamecube had more power.

[hippo24]

What?

Ohh your supporting L4D by attacking ignorant fanboys, ok carry on.

Seriously though I don't think every PS3 owner has a one track mind, just the ones that CouGRAPHICSough CouWHOREough think L4D is crap.

[Marie]

Not surprising. Valve made a decision early on this gen to pretty much ignore the PS3 and that devision has been a wise one. The extra time of costs and additional time itself to port of version likely would have netted little for them. Valve is just reinforcing this decision going forward.

And 21 million customers, haha I think not. The sale through data is no where close to Sony's shipment figures to date.

Also whoever said EA is making the most money off the PS3 is straight up off his rocker. EA reported earnings yeterday as a matter of fact with 360 on top. On top the qaurter before that as well and over double the amount of the PS3 for the last fiscal year. Not even close.

[0verdrive]

just wanted to point out that the 21m ps3 claim is just as valid as ms claiming 28m xboxs. in fact, its probably MORE accurate, considering the hardware problems, and the fact that ms has been proven to count the refurb'd systems, not to mention the xbox owners who have purchased 2,3 or even more xboxs.

granted, i dont really believe that there are 21m ps3s out there, and i sure as hell dont believe there are 28m xboxs.

not trying to flame, but im just responding with the same logic you used.

[Lookbehind]

Who would win a race to the buffet Gabe Newell or Arron Greenturd:).

[Neo604]

and all pc games are free for me. gametorrent.com. xbot sucker have to pay for thier so call exclusive.

[Neo604]

PC games are always free for me it's call torrent.

[eliasg]

everybody laughs with you SONY fanboys :D :D :D :D

[hulud86]

I've been trying to tell these PS3 fanboys that it's not going to happen but no one listens. L4D would suck on PS3 anyway.

[Magna Farta]

prove it.

[XDF]

Damn, this place is like sugar water. All the worker ants (PS3 Fanboys) are all here.

Well, for one thing, the x360 version has outsold Resistance 2 by a country mile thus far. So all the 2 million plus people that own this game and 90% Metacritic AAA mean nothing because N4G said so. LMFAO.

[NateNater]

Why wouldn't they want Left4Dead on ps3? It couldn't harm anyone! Its a win-win situation.
1) Valve makes a relatively easy port of the game and sells it.
2) A great number of people would buy and enjoy it. 3) Valve would surely make a large sum of $$$ off of it!
4) Everybody wins!

STOP THE PS3 HATE! \m/

[The Dude]

HA HA

[zach1980]

Oh here we go again L4D not coming to ps3, well iv got a PS3 and paid alot of money for it the day it came out twice as much as it is now, do i care about about this game maybe not as iv not played it, would i buy it if it came to PS3 who knows, but enjoy L4D and i enjoy killzone 2 PS3 which won't ever be on XBOX 360 or pc.

[-IronMan-]

Whats L4d? KILLZONE2 PS3 ONLY! tee hee...

[C_Dub]

I'm laughing at Valve because they're too stupid to dev on PS3 correctly.

Killzone 2 says "Hi".

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

With Killzone 2 coming out for PS3, I highly doubt PS3 fans are even worried about this game! (I'll see you all after my download completes tonight! if there is MP)

But I must say L4D is my most played 360 game and has been for quite a while! Im in love with it!

[OrganicMachine]

I played the demo on the PC.. pfftt.. w/e

[Morgue]

If I owned a 360 I wouldn't have bought it and I own a PS3 and I still won't buy it. I checked out the demo at a friends house and I thought it was horrendously cheesy and another attempt at a dying genre, i.e. Zombie movies. Rue Morgue magazine gave it game of the year, maybe they should stick to watching low budget horror instead of praising low budget, uninspired garbage. I'd rather watch Dawn Of the Dead instead of spending $40 - 60 on this.

EDIT - To 17.
I know demos are not true representations <? of the game but sorry, I thought it stunk. I mean Zombies,Gore, yeah it will sell and there will be some " core " people playing it on live but eventually it fade away like the thought of George Romero actually making another good zombie movie.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

but actually requires some damn good team work/skill in VS mode. It has more depth than just dabbling with it will have you believe, dig a little deeper and you will see why this game truely is a blast!

Do you really get the full impression of a product through a demo? seriously guys... if you think that, that's pretty lame!

[d_dogg2007]

I still don't understand why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch. This game is mediocre at best and laughable when compared to killzone 2. Who wants to support a game developer who doesn't like the ps3 by buying a lousy, average game. Keep it xbox not missing anything at all.

[CaptainKratos]

i laugh at them.HAHAHA.....lol.

[stonecold3]

arrive on 360 and same with killzone2 and we dont need games that look like last gen graphics gabe newell is probaly looking forward for killzone 2 release so killzone 2 is coming and its will sell millions over his games anyday and gabe knows that and he should be worrying about his sales of his game i laugh when people say metalgear solid4 on 360 cause it will never be done on 360 and 360 can keep there left 4 dead

[Colieo_87]

is going to be muiltplat cause valve is in the bussiness to make money.. hands down and if they can sell another million or so copys hurrah to us all.. but i wont be buying this game lol

To the lamers who say L4D is crap that haven't even played it. Seriously, your shallow arrogance is causing you to truly miss out. I have a ps3 aswell and I do hope it makes it there as its probably one of the best multiplayer games of all time (not 'THE best'...'one of the best!')
Don't dis this game if you've only seen some half ass screen shots. Gameplay is epic

If only valve chose to spread that quality around to both the 360 AND the PS3...they'd be reaching 28 million people on 360, 20 + million on the PS3, and at least 15 million or more through Steam.

That's over 60 million people! I think that might justify the cost and learning process that comes with PS3 dev...
