Forums - Sony Discussion - PS3 Shuts Up Gabe Newell!

Khuutra said:
Are people still calling Gabe Newell a Microsoft fanboy who is bashing Sony just because he is a hater?

I wash my hands of the conversation, and I suggest the same for anyone who rejects that viewpoint. Good day, gentlemen.

 

As a 'Microsoft Millionaire'  and probable owner in stock of MS.   In many ways yes.  He has definite reasoning for his beliefs.  As a PC developer who wants to make one game and just easily make ports across the board and have no issues arise,  yes he is biased (And what many have called 'lazy').

@ Garnett - In order to maximize profit and also let more people enjoy their product? It could have been released at a later date or something.

Yes but it would of sold like meh,i still wish this game would of came to PS3,and there wouldnt be a guaranteed profit for the PS3 version.

 



A ps3 fanboy making fun of Gabe Newell is like a turd making fun of a sunset.



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)

Good god are there really people calling Killzone 2 better than Valve games?

Valve is a PC developer. Console kids need to stop bitching about their versions and be happy there is anything from them on consoles. They didn't even make the L4D version on 360. EA did.

Valve are some of the most creative talents in the industry and surely deserve at least grudging respect.


Sure Valve has talented people employed, such as graphics artists (not Gabe of course, he's just a fat millionaire ) and level designers, but I was more talking about low-level game engine design. I don't think they have the in-house expertise like say Crytek, GG, Naught Dog, Insomniac, etc.

If they have the in-house talent, I would imagine they couldn't wait to start tapping the PS3's potential (it benefits other platforms as well).

From Wikipedia

The Source engine is a 3D game engine developed by Valve Corporation. The engine supports Microsoft Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), Xbox, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

I guess they have some experience of engine creation huh !



And let's get this straight: Valve runs gaming like a business. You know, the way it's supposed to be run. For anyone to criticize their business savvy when they are making more money than any other person developing for HD right now aside from Activision Blizzard is laughable and pathetic.

You are criticizing the only HD developer making a profit right now for how they run their business!
