Left4Dead not coming to PS3 (confirmed)

Quote from site:

"It has been confirmed to us today that Left4Dead will not be coming to PS3 despite rumors.

Speaking to us at a Microsoft event, Chet Faliszek of Valve said when asked "Many people say that they heard rumours that Left4Dead is coming to PS3, however despite telling them this isn't true they still don't believe us, what more can we say than it is not"".

Yes, because you're going to say the game is coming to the PS3 at a Microsoft event. -__-

I don't see what's the big hype for this game anyway. I would rather wait for RE5 and I have more than enough games this holiday season to keep me happy.

Oooh good. So when it comes to PC I can run it on Linux using WINE and it will no longer be exclusive to MS platforms! WOOT!! Open Source FTW!

MS doesn't get money from 3rd party games... but they can say that it's only available on their system, that's how it's good for them.

It'll probably come to the PS3, but that won't be until next year and it will be a bad port, just like The Orange Box. PS3 only users, my advise to you guys will be to buy the game for your PC.
I hope your PC runs it though.
And have fun playing online with people that don't have mic... oups, that's basically PSN.

"because these games will never see the light on a Sony platform. "

Well, if you count Sony PC's it is in a sense on a Sony platform. While I do understand what you're saying still, just making a point.

And at whoever says no matter what buying this game gives MS money, what about pirates? What if someone is pirating Windows while pirating this game. What happens then? HUH?! HUH?! HUH?!

This CAN'T be shocking.

Valve has a very public disdain for the PS3 or I get the sense of that when their representatives constantly talk nonsense about it. I thought about posting links, but anyone can google "Valve PS3". First page.

I get the feeling that Valve has absolutely no desire to transplant the game to PS3 and I wouldn't want them to with that attitude.

Exactly, you are absolutely 100% correct. They just say it, they usually don't actually do it though, 8/10 times, they probably don't buy it for PC. It's just pure spite and and jealousy and frustration whenever one says so. It's ridiculous, I mean I'd be sort of pissed off if a game wasn't coming to my system but is going to every other system that can play it.

Oh BTW, if anyone was ever wondering, Left 4 Dead is f*cking Multiplayer GOTY for sure. I got the demo key for free from the Gamestop code redemption site and it's amazing.

You will never encounter a zombie in the same spot ever. No scenario is the same once. I went down some stairs and there was a Boomer and 6 zombies on the bottom of the stairs and the Boomer vomited all over me. I hear the bumblebee music thing meaning a horde is coming so I backtrack up the stairs and close the door. From there I hear footsteps, loud creaking noises and the door gets holes punched into them and I see zombies. I'm still blind and the door finally breaks open and you see AT LEAST 23+ zombies rush through that doorway. My friends and I were tripping right the f*ck out. This was on the 360 version.

1.18 - If not an exclusive, I'd still be a bit wary if a PS3 only owner...
I'm not saying that the game will suck by any means. I'd just be worried about a weak port of the game.

If it does come out for PS3, I wouldn't rush right out for this game. Wait for a review that you trust to give you bug details, if any. Or at the very least, rent the game first.

Valve games maybe fun, but their ports to PS3 (out-sourced to EA) don't have the best track record.

Remember when MGS4 was released on pre-order for the 360 at an online retailer? Do we see a MGS4 on the 360 now? NO....

I tend to believe the developer that the game is not coming to PS3 over some hunch or rumour. I must point out that the developer didn't say "have no plans at the moment" and similar statement that suggest that it only applies to now. Which make it even less likely that it will come to the PS3. The good news is that Valve have in the past made statements that multiplatform is the only way to go to profit from a game. So PS3 people, start a petition and you might just see it this time next year. G'luck!

1.20 - Guys...
Remember Valve didn't release the Orange Box for the ps3, so they aren't likely going to change their stance at this point... But to say EA won't release it for the PS3 when they're a huge money grubbing publishing house is to claim ignorance. EA released Orange box for the Ps3... why wouldn't they release Left4Dead for the PS3 as well? That's 16 million players that would potentially buy this game.

How is PC a Microsoft platform? PC stands for Personal Computer last time I checked, and they don't get any money what so ever from third party companies making games on the PC.

2.3 - You guys are so easy to see through.
If this game was an exclusive to the PS3, then you'd be including in all of the exclusive lists that you like to bandy about. The fact is, that it's an xbox 360 exclusive, so you turn your nose up at it, and say that you'd not want it anyway. WRONG! If it was a PS3 only title, you'd be bragging about how awesome people are saying it is. You know, and I know it.
MAN! I didn't realize that the end of this year would be strapping me financially just in ps3/360 games. Thank God that there's not much worth buying for the Wii!

They probably did the exact same thing for Bioshock before it was announced for PS3.. THat game went from being complete garbage to them to Hey we get the best version of a great game that 360 couldnt even play right.".Sony fans really are becoming pathetic. I once said that the PS3 was the Game Cube of this gen but I was wrong. A. GC fans actually managed to retain some self respect and dignity. B. they spent their time playing the few games they did have not crying on message boards about how bad the other consoles suck.

Of course, that's how it is. However, it's not just with PS3 owners as you would have it believed. It's MS as well. When MGS4 was coming out so many MS owners said it wasn't their cup of tea, cutscenes were too long, etc. There have been more rumors about that game than any other this gen.

Realistically, what single console fan wouldn't want a good game coming to their system? They're not all going to be your style of game, but isn't it always better to have options? LBP isn't eactly my thing, but it's good to know it's there if I wanna play it. Anyone saying a variety of quality games is bad, well, that's just stupid.

4 - Who cares?
Honestly, I think this title is being a bit hyped up and won't deliver. If it does, it will deliver on the PC more than it will the 360 due to better graphics, controls, and more maps and mods from the community so no loss on it not coming to the PS3. Don't be fooled into thinking it's a 360 exclusive though as my pre-order on Steam for the PC begs to differ.

"who cares"

You do know Valve is making this game, the makers of some of the highest rated and best selling games of all time (maybe not on the ps3) so ANY game that Valve makes is a big deal, and I expect it to get great reviews and sales to be considered yet another AAA game on 360.

That will make 19 AAA games on the 360 compared to PS3 with only 9.

EDIT @ ultimulo
just thought i'd throw that in there, kinda like how ps3 fans love repeating RROD RROD.

To save 10% off and to get into the demo early.

And Etowneone, of course I realize who is making the game. I've played everything they've made since HL1 and agree they make great games. But people are making it out to be the 2nd coming, even better than HL2 itself which is a bit ludicrous. I didn't know HL2 sold so well on the xbox and 360. That's right it did compared to the PC, the preferred platform which I will be playing L4D on so no, it's not a 360 exclusive.

4.6 - @4.4 Then you just started playing games this gen.
Just try the Left 4 Dead demo (on PC if you don't have a 360) and you'll know what the hype is all about. Valve is the king of FPS, just like Blizzard is the King of RPGs. Those two are the ones pushing the genre forward.

If you like shooters (even if you don't -I didn't till I tried out the demo-) you'll like any Valve game.
If you like RPG you'll like Blizzard games as well....
