I hate being a bringer of bad news, but since no one has mentioned this yet, might as well do so:

Team Fortress 2 Updates Not Coming For PlayStation 3

Gabe Newell confirms no ongoing development for Orange Box on PS3.

By Philip Kollar, 09/23/2008

In a new interview we are publishing today, Valve co-founder Gabe Newell and marketing director Doug Lombardi reveal that the recent free updates for Team Fortress 2 on the PC (which are confirmed for the Xbox 360 as well) will not be coming to the PlayStation 3 version of TF2. Furthermore, there isn't much hope for the content ever making its way to that system since Valve currently has no internal PlayStation 3 development.

"We don't have PlayStation developers," Lombardi told us. Earlier in the interview, Newell discussed how Electronic Arts had handled the PS3 port of Orange Box rather than Valve internally. When asked whether or not EA would support the game by helping port the downloadable content over, Newell said, "They're not doing ongoing development on The Orange Box for the PS3."

Newell also noted that not having a PS3 version of their upcoming zombie shooter Left 4 Dead was also partially due to EA. "We don't have the bandwidth," Newell said. "For The Orange Box, EA did the PS3 version. They're interested in getting a PS3 version done. We just have to figure out where the resources can come from. We don't have the bandwidth. We're doing the 360 and PC version ourselves." Newell did confirm that Valve would like to work on in-house PS3 development, but that this will only come "as our bandwidth allows us to."

It's reassuring that Valve is looking to pump up work on the PS3 despite Newell's well-documented dislike for the platform. That said, "as our bandwidth allows us to" isn't going to do much for the disappointed PS3 owners wishing they could check out that sweet new Team Fortress content or do some co-op zombie killing this winter.

Thoughts? Myabe EA will get off their lazy asses and actually get the content out there.

It's a good thing I don't care.

i dont think EA would do it...but if valve starts doing work on the ps3 then they will likely do the update as well.

Good thing that they already botched the game to all hell anyway, and the game didn't sell much.

I can't imagine too many people still playing TF2 on the PS3.

That is a big if MrBubbles. I didn't know about Valve's animosity towards the PS3 until I clicked on that last link, but it appears the guy has some serious issues with the PS3. But he probably isn't the say all end all for all of Valve's decisions either.

id assume their team just isnt big enough to work on multiple versions of a game. and since delayed ports dont generally sell all that well comparatively, they probably figure it isnt worth the cost. more system sales in NA could likely prompt work on the ps3.

Be sure to tell the 2 people that are playing this on the PS3.

Yeah, I'm so glad that I own this on PC.

Do any Ps3 owners really care?

I sure as hell don't.

Why the hell did anyone buy this game on a console anyways?
