Portal 2 to have PC & PS3 Co-op

[Reasonable]

That's why Valve is among my favorites companies in the industry. Also, the PS3 version could come with KB&M support... If the user still prefers dual-analog, it's their problem then.

Also, I don't know why cross-platform/PC online is not standard this generation. I mean, it was tested out since the Dreamcast era.

IMO its very hard to keep PC a controlled environment where its a level playing field. PC users with extra gear (like myself who has 3 monitors in surround mode for peripheral vision) have an unfair advantage in competitive play over console users and their 1 screen/30 fps.

Also, experienced mouse and Keyboard user will rape a controller user...lol

But for coop stuff like this, its kinda neat...even if I fail to see the point of it.

In terms of the point of it at least for Valve I can see them wanting to show the capabilities of Steamworks/Steam and to extend their brand quickly in the PS3 sphere.

I get the impression Sony wooed Valve by offering the chance to not just have a game on PS3 but actually bring their platform and approach and if I was Valve I'd want to try and get Portal 2 players focused on me rather than Sony or their PC and offering more of a single community across PC / PS3 is one way to help to that.

I get Valve games on PC but I might get this on PS3 too just for fun and to try out each side (no jokes about playing with myself please!).
