Valve: ALL TF2 updates coming to 360, PS3 ignored

Kotaku:

"Owners of the Xbox 360 version of Team Fortress 2 will be scarfing down sandviches and delivering payloads later this year, as Valve is finally bringing all the updates delivered via Steam to the Xbox Live Marketplace. That means new, class-specific Achievements, new unlockable weapons for the Pyro, Medic and Heavy, new gameplay modes and new maps, all on your Xbox 360."

Lol, Valve we're obviously not gonna buy your games any more If you or EA wont support them like you do on other platforms. Your shooting yourselves in the foot. Wonder what would happen if hypothetically the 360 died. They would feel the need to do it then.

We'll have to live with the fact that VALVE just doesnt like the PS3.

1.4 - Just Like ATI and Nvidia
Wouldn't be the first time Valve sabotaged one of their games to work better for their preferred partners. And really, why would they support the PS3? Microsoft made these guys, of course they're going to support them. The difference is it's become pretty obvious to everyone now how Valve does business.

1.5 - well its about time
when i played this game on my buddys 360 i couldnt beleive the limited amount of maps and game modes...Each map played a certain game mode if i remember correctly

and

there was only 5 maps and the maps where not that great....kinda like Half Life where every level was just a bunch of hallways that looked like turd!

I understood why ppl where digging the game. It was fun in its own right and i did like the look of it but its not a game i would see myself playing for very long! It did use some cool idea's

well anyway

Value can suk my very large nuts

i love how you idiots hate Valve because a) Gabe's fat, or b) they have no way of helping the ps3 owners of the OB. ive never seen so much hate towards a developer who, in their lifetime, has continually supported their games well after release. EA did the port. not Valve. can you ppl get that thru you thick, fanboy skulls? if they could, they would. and Valve is being forced to charge for the updates we get on PC for free. they want it to be released, for FREE. you whiners get a bad port and cry bloody murder because you are not being coddled like babies. deal with it. christ.

You people are attacking the wrong people about this.....valve washed their hands of the whole mess since they did bring someone else to handle the port...and you people are angry because he does not want to work with the ps3.....you picked your console of choice now live with it....he picked his choice as well and is living with it...same as hideo picking his console of choice but i didnt see much people getting mad at hideo....either buy the ps3 and play mgs4 or wait until the ps3 is worth buying..simple as that.

"and you people are angry because he does not want to work with the ps3..."

That's *not* the point. Isn't this game multi-console? If Valve wanted to work with the 360 and the PC, they should have just released their games on that instead of giving PS3 owners the runaround. That's terrible business practice *once* again. At least Kojima wasn't being childish when he preferred working on the PS3 with MGS4. What Valve is doing is CHILDISH.

Wow Snuka...just wow.

TheSadTruth: Why allow the game to be released on the PS3 at all? You don't support one half of the gamers and then screw over the other half. What kind of bullsh*tting tactic is that? And crying? I'm not crying, but I think it's unfair to other PS3 owners who play Valve's games.

You little babies need to stop crying.

Porting to the Xbox 360 is EASY from a PC game. Porting to the PS3 is not. That's why they had EA do it. Why would they support a port that failed and had little sales? Why would they waste time developing for a platform that will have little to no sales? The orange box sold just a couple hundred thousand copies for the PS3 and over a million for the 360.

Your beef is with EA if anyone.

If people are still playing TF2 on 360 or PS3 they need to move on to the PC version. I don't give a rat's ass about a PC ported update that you have to PAY FOR.

Seriously, for only $10 more you can buy the PC version that actually has servers and still get the updates.

I much rather just play it on the Xbox 360 that I payed for... instead of going out and buying a $600 or $700 hundred dollar computer.

I agree with cheeseknight. TF2 is an awesome game and doesn't deserve to be played on consoles. Hundreds of custom maps, modes, and new updates for free... not to mention fpses were designed for pcs... you just can't beat that

And stickguy, please stop showing how ignorant you are about computers. Right now with the video card market, a 50-60 bucks video card can run TF2 on freaking high. (the 8800gt was on sale for 55$ last week!). -unless u actually so poor, u don't even have a computer to start with

TF2 deseves to be played by anyone who can, a real fan would know that. :)

I already traded in my PS3 version of the Orange Box. I only really cared for Portal. I'll be getting that Portal game on the XBL Marketplace when it comes out along with Left 4 Dead, but that's all I really care for out of Valve. They're really too big on themselves nowadays. I wish all devs supported their titles more, but they truly only seem to care about the money (minus a few exceptions such as Bungie).

I remember saying this when the pyro update came out and 360 users were complaining. I said then "the 360 will probably get a massive update with all these things". I lost count of how many disagrees I got rofl.

Is anyone NOT PLAYING TF2 on PC? If so please raise your hand and be counted, for being ridiculous. TF2 on console is so frustrating my friend bought it and makes me play eeven though he knows it makes me hate him, JK... but seriously I do.

10 - This is really silly
Regardless of who did the PS3 version, TF2 is still an IP associated with Valve and as such this poor support for the product only reflects bad on them.
I really couldn't care less what Valve does as I have never supported them or their products, but this behavior on their part really doesn't bode well for my consumption of anything they release in the future. I guess when the fat man Newell or whatever his name is spoke he was expressing the feelings of Valve as a whole toward the PS3 and Sony, truly sad to see this sort of thing in the video game industry today.

I couldn't agree with you more. I just wrote a post on how unprofessional it looks for Gabe. It's Valve that is associated with the orange box, not EA...even though EA is responsible for the port.

Nothing discrete about it. It's as apparent as the nose on your face regarding Newell's disdain for non-traditional, i.e. easy, game development.

Although I would never buy a Half-Life or TF or whatever, Gabe would at least get a little respect if he said he was wrong about the PS3. And at least be honest as to why they don't want to develop for it.

Really though who the hell cares. Valve aren't the best developers (although good) and there are plenty games coming out that is better so they can go suck it for all I care! the only game I care about is Halflife since I played all the rest and I can always play it on the pc.

That being said they are really a bunch of douche bags for their approach to developing games. I guess they don't like money or something. Someone send them the memo that the Ps3 now has a significant user base! What a bunch of amateurs!

That this even upsets me. This is a simple nose up to the PS3 owners that spent 60 bucks for their game just as the 360 owners did. I see thig as bad business and bad for Valve. The fanbase for the PS3 is growning and if they do not want to suppor their games at a later date then why would anybody support them from the PS3 camp? What a shame Valve.

agreed. i'm a PS360 owner too, and opted for Orange Box on the 360 mainly because the previews had already deemed that version to be best. i traded it in after a few weeks of play. i just found Half Life 2 be be overrated; not bad, but overrated. it took about two weeks for me to try Portal, which imo is the best game Valve has made to date. but a two-to-three hour puzzler wasn't enough for me to keep the game. never tried TF, nor really had the desire to.

in any event this is a serious disservice to PS3 owners. part of me doesn't care because a) i'm no big fan of Valve's, and b) even if i were i still have the 360 which they support. however, a huge part of me is pissed. you kinda expect console makers and publishers to screw gamers, but not developers.

Valve's games may be popular, but none of them have ever got me interested, not even Left 4 Dead.

I have yet to hear developers making games for Sony like Insomniac come out and state their dislike for another console... I'm just glad that Sony's dev's and other 1st party studios have more class than Gabe Newell and Valve.
