I think anybody who thinks visuals should trump performance needs to wise up. It's common knowledge that the EA port of the Orange Box to the PS3 is inferior to the other two versions and trying to make some bogus reasons to say it's not just because you like the PS3 is sketchy at best. If Valve doesn't wanna develop for the PS3, they don't have to, and Pitchford needs to get over it.


it's just his opiopion no reason to bite his head off.

..........of a company he doesn't work for.


I belive he used to work for value.

i agree with him, We cant Expect Next gen game out of Valve , we can expect upgraded PS2 games.

Cause the PS3 is so much different from the PS2.

I mean look at the controller for instance... so different.

What are you talking about?!

He's saying that you can't expect next generation PS3 type games from valve... instead upgraded PS2 games... (or at least thats what it seems like.)

When in general PS3 games are in fact.... upgraded PS2 games. 

It's like the difference between the NES and the SNES.

Well concidering that borderlands loads faster on the ps3 (textures anyways) but looks about exacly the same across both consoles i'd say that i'd take his word before valves. Atleast when it comes to console talk. I like the fact that he finds the challenging design of the ps3 programming aspect. "fun" .. If more multiplat developers did that, we would see some nice improvements all around :p

But now he works for the experience?

No, Randy Pitchford worked for 3D Realms and made some Duke Nukem games, before founding Gearbox. Gearbox has, however, ported a lot of Valve games to consoles.

Valve's games are meant to be played on PC.
Hell, they have tons of PC exclusives!

So what you are saying is the 360 runs upgraded xbox 1 games as well?  See the logic makes no sense, I owned both of the previous generation consoles....and there is nothing out on both of them that looks anything or runs anything like last gen games.  If this is in regards to valve, yes you are correct; left for dead looks alot better on pc then on the 360; the orange box for consoles are just ports from the xbox version of half life 2, so in this you are correct.  But it ends there with valve, every other game developer seems to live and develop in this generation of consoles without exception.

well i think it's true valve statement this gen have been nothing of fanboyish.
we have seen ps3 it's capable for, it's not them not able to do it, just closet minded to actually do it.

if they still can't do it, it's probably for the same reason gabe can't loose weight.

It's funny everyone is attacking this guy, he worked for Valve, I think I would hold some credit to his words. Valve does seem like a group who thinks only their games define an industry.

Oh and he must be a sony fanboy i mean he works for So...

He gets payed by Son...

he, uh I'm not sure...
