Oh I'm not saying it will necessarily be inferior. Just that it's a bit ridiculous to say KZ2 shuts Valve up when it's a derivative game (borrowing from one of Valve's games as well as others) with good graphics.

 

 

That I strongly agree with. That's also an ignorant statement..but it seems fanboyism is becoming more and more blind by the day. No one has an open mind anymore - if something isn't on a platform that they like or have, it can't compare to something else that is. I'm not discrediting anything Valve has done..they put out good work, and I wish they were more receptive to the PS3. I just wish the fanboyism wasn't becoming so..I don't know..intense?

We don't know Valve's reasons for not targeting the PS3. Maybe they don't think the extra expense is worth it. Maybe they don't have room for expansion. Maybe it's cheaper to outsource ports to other parties who have already hired PS3 developers.

No one gives console-exclusive developers shit for not targeting the PC (even when they do, they usually bring late ports with often excessive hardware requirements). Why does Valve get so much shit for not targeting the PS3? Perhaps people should blame Sony for their sucky architectures (from the developers' perspective).
