| Carl2291 said: Valve Shuts out “Too Complicated” PS3... At E3 while checking out Left 4 Dead 2, I had a chance to talk to a few of the game’s developers at Valve. Amongst questions about the game, I snuck in a bit asking why Valve won’t develop for the PS3. It’s not because they’re a small studio, it’s because the PS3 is too complex. Game designer Tom Leonard had this to say:
That’s not to say the PS3 doesn’t have some fun games, but Valve chooses to take the route of less resistance. And with Sony saying the PS3 is intentionally hard to to develop for, Valve might have a point. But I think they’re choosing the Xbox 360 because of the similar architecture and coding as PC gaming, which is their bread and butter. Either way, don’t expect Valve games to grace your PS3 anytime soon. http://loot-ninja.com/2009/06/09/valve-shuts-out-too-complicated-ps3/ |
WOW....talk about being pathetically lazy! Yeah, no duh....the PC and the 360 are more straight forward......because they are the exact same thing! (Check it out, the 360 is running a slimmed down windows kernel recompiled to run on a RISC processor. ) It's not that the PS3 is so difficult or hypercomplex.....it's just not a PC clone. It's this kind of thinking that has made windows and the 360 stale.......the whole mind set in this part of the industry is to only do what you already know.....what is easy, and readily copied from previous versions or other people who actually created something new and original. Hats of to Sony and Nintendo......they actually have the vision and the corporate will power to create things that are new, different, gasp...dare I say it.....even complex!
