@heruamon- yea i think the tank is mad because ***MATURE CONTENT AHEAD 18+*** his dick is so tiny he cant fuck the witch,thats why shes crying all the time ***END OF MATURE CONTENT***

 

@bladeofgod Why waste time porting it and waste money/dev time putting it on PS3 when the fanbase likes more mixed genres and have a chance of it flopping like TF2 did,when you could use the time for extra maps and polshing and adversing

 

 

 

ROFLMAO...OOOOHHHH, so THAT's why she always crying!

I think a PS3 port would probably sell well. Clearly Valve doesn't care though, so it's all on EA's hands.

It's all about ROI...Valve looks at Bioshock and shudders to try build up the competentcy...EA can always get somebody else to port it...

At this point I doubt it would sell well on PS3.  Besides everyone with a PS3 should already have this game for PC

I received my copy from Amazon yesterday ($49.xx CDN after tax) and got through the first campaign. Talk about intense! lol. I'm going to work my way through the campaign's and then hit the online, where it seems like the true L4D experience lies.

damn u lucky xboxers i hope therell be a port for the ps3 this year

Unfortunately this won't ever happen.  Valve doesn't do PS3 games.

 

 

They might. If the PS3 sells a lot. They did do 'The Orange Box'

Look above.  I figured someone would think of this and be misinformed.  EA did a forced port of Orange Box.  Valve had nothing to do with it.

 

EA got less say in L4D; Valve paid better attention this time around when working out the contract. EA won't be able to force a port this time around.

And yeah, Valve has stated they will never develop for the PS3. So L4D won't ever come there.

wwwhhhaaaaaa??

Google my friend, it works.

 

L4D WILL come out on the PS3, its a mater of time. Money greases all wheels.

 

Pay attention to how old that is.

Reading my friend, it works.

EA may be interested, but there were still roadblocks that Valve kept in place. Look how crappy the port of the Orange Box was. Valve didn't want that happening again, so they made it harder for EA to pull off, and thanks to that, the game is months old and EA hasn't made any announcements of a PS3 port. Now that so much time has passed, it's more and more likely that it just won't be happening, even if EA gets around the roadblocks and finally finishes their port

PS3/PS2/360 to Wii ports work because they're significantly different markets. PS3/360 markets are too similar; most people in that market that wanted it already have it for either 360 or PC. The PS3 version, being this late out the gate, would flop hard.

Its 8 months old... does everyone think this is 2010 already?

I dont know if you noticed, but the qoute is from Gabe Newell of Valve, not EA. Valve wouldnt care one way or another, its more money for them.

The PS3 version would flop? How much money do you think they would need to make from it to recoup the loss of not making a new engine, not remaking assets, not remaking the sounds, not remaking.... I dont want to get into a massive arguement over this, I have L4D on the 360 and all that, but EA wants money, Valve wouldnt mind the money and a port is far far less expensive than making a game from the ground up.

It just makes financial sense to produce something for a quarter (made up number) of the cost of a full game that is garunteed to have sales that will recoup expenses plus some.

How bouts this, if its not announced at E3 then its dead in the water and never will happen.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

Problem is, they DO have to remake a good portion of it. That's why the Orange Box on PS3 worked so terribly.

Thus said, it is NOT guaranteed to make back the money. Especially since that money would have to be shared with Valve. And I believe it'd sell terribly, PARTICULARLY because it's eight months old. Six months late already makes it rough... by the time it would release, it'd be over ten months old. And maybe more than that. Who'd seriously think that'd sell worth anything?
