> PS3 Shuts Up Gabe Newell!

Wrong. Even the Cell is not that powerful.

I think the reason is that although the PS3 has the smallest install base, it's still a large group of gamers.  We all know Valve has money...I agree that it may be a little too expensive to port to the PS3 due to architecture and that's probably why they don't do it.  However, if they're 'outsourcing' their ports for the 360 to EA, and EA develops for the PS3 also, then how come they don't also have EA port to PS3?  Is it a matter of EA just simply swapping formats and printing discs, whereas with the PS3 there would actually be a little work involved?  In which case I could understand.

The architecture is a pain at the moment, I'll give you that.  But it's also clear that it's not going to change.  We can almost be certain the PS4 will have an upgraded cell chip, so the architecture will be similar.  We can also assume the PS4 will be a bit cheaper since I'm assuming it'll be just an upgraded PS3.  In that sense, we can assume that the PS4, while it may not be in first place, won't be lagging behind the other companies as much because of the same reasons (price), and will have a larger install base.  It's safe to assume they'll have a better chance next gen of being higher up on the food chain, which means more consoles out and at least a little higher demand.  Why wouldn't companies want to learn the architecture now so that in the future it's not an issue?  At the same time, we could also assume that maybe Valve will stay away from Sony forever...we don't really know=P

 I'm interested in what your definition of "loads" is.

Actually, maybe I'm not....(ick)

Sort of true..but if it's the fanbase that buys 8 million copies, I'm sure Sony wants it=P

Wait, Valve outsources 360 ports to EA too? Or are they just published by EA, like the PC retail versions are?

Halo effect? I don't think Halo pulled the best parts of current gaming trends and prettied them up at all. In fact, Halo was knocked for its graphics by many. Halo actually helped to create a lot of "current gaming trends" with good vehicle physics, excellent multiplayer setup (on and offline), holding two guns, excellent control scheme (buttons for melee and grenades), etc. I don't see how they "pretty up" their own mechanics.

@ OP: I don't see how that translates to PS3 doing anything to Gabe. He did say a lot of bold words at the beginning of the PS3's lifecycle of it being a failure. He also hasn't shown much support for the platform, but you should also see it from his side as a game developer and as a business man.

Valve is a small team. Developing for more than one platform would require them to expand, learn a new platform and optimize games for that platform. He doesn't see it as a viable business option that will have much return. In contrast, 360 is practically PC architecture from a designer's point of view. Very little has to be done for those ports and the return is relatively large. He's doing what is best for his business like any business man would do.

For such a small team, Valve is doing some amazing work. In recent years they made the Orange Box (3 new "games" included) and Left4Dead as well as constant updates to the Source Engine. They've also continued to support their games (TF2 class updates, CS servers, etc.). They're also the creator of the best PC software distribution platform: Steam. It's remarkable they can do all this with their size. Expecting them to expand greatly to support just one more platform that might not have a significant return is a risk they'd rather not take.

"Seems that many people are upset with Gabe and look at the quality of posters thinking by calling him fat that changes the quality of games that Valve have released!

KZ2 is not even released and reviews have already dicussed why it doesn’t deserve 95/100 or 100/100 scores yet people want to hate on Gabe Newell when Kaz Hirai is telling everyone Sony intentionally made the PS3 hard to develop for! OMG! Some people are pure zealots and then we have them in the media!"

From a poster,So true!

This is crazy Kaz logic at it's best, step inside folks, step inside, witness the amazing rhetoric man, able to speak in anecdote while jumping through hoops drenched in denial and ignited with fear.

Step right up!

It's not a good thing to have a system that makes something simple any harder than it had to be. Sega Saturn sais hi on that subject.
