or it's so illogical that it make perfect sense!

OT: i hope they do port it specifically so i can not buy it in protest. xD

^^

Well, it is the internet... so you may have a point.

Haha I bought that half life 2 for PS3. It was indeed not particularly well crafted because they farmed the port out.

Gabe is more or less in the pocket of MS. He worked there for a decade, still has loyalties there and it shows. I still love the quote about how the PS3 was a waste of time. I think most gamers the world over would agree that its been, for going on 7 years now, the Xbox project that has been a waste of time. Not quite A Zunetastic failure, but certainly not good.

I mean on the high end gamer elite you have the PC types who drop 2,000 dollars on some souped up i7 rig with a 295 and liquid cooling to play FPS games at ultra high settings. At the mid range you have hardcore console fans who have bought the Playstations for 3 generations now for the best console only games and a good selection of the best of the PC too. With the younger set you have the Nintendo systems that cater to families and have character games with limited graphics. This worked fine when it was PS1, N64. It worked well when it was PS2, Gamecube and it would work well with PS3, Wii.

Where does the 360 or Xbox fit into this? It doesn't have the performance the high end PCers demand. It doesn't have the cutting edge tech and fully exclusive big ticket games like Gran Turismo, Uncharted, God of War ect (it shares nearly all its big titles with the PC where they look and play WAY better in almost all cases) that make the PS system work and it doesn't have the strong appeal to families or character based games of the Nintendo ecosystem.

If Sony died or Nintendo died a huge swath of gamers would care and notice. Both have storied multi decade careers in gaming and dozens of big memorable first party games. Microsoft, as it always does, just looked at video games and thought "I could copy that" and inserted itself without really bringing anything to the table except a pay for online play system.

Gabe is right, one system is indeed a waste of time, but its not the PS3.

That's ebcause Valve decided to let EA port the game, as you can see they did no such thing with L4D cause EA did what it does best, shitty games.

I love Dragon Age, Burnout, Need for Speed Shift, Mirrors Edge, Sims 3, Command and Conquer, Mass Effect, Tiger Woods, Dead Space Fifa 2010 and a bunch more recent games. But yes besides ALL those games EA games suck. I'd still take them over Activation or any of the other big conglomerates in a split second.

And just about everyone else would agree...

What are they gonna pressure them with? Bad words? More shitty fps games? EA has absolutely no leverage, if anything it is sbegging Valve to let it port Valve's games and fromo the looks of it EA's begging is miserable at best.

You could normally be right, and it makes sense that if someone doesn't want to do something he'll deny if asked.

But when someone doesn't lose any opportunity to deny something, even when nobody asked him about it, what you should think. It's like a habitual offender saying "It wasn't me" even before the police started asking about a crime: if he denies in general, there are chances he's innocent, but if he denies a specific crime even before the police mentions it, the chances he's guilty are very high.

This can only mean one thing!

L4D Saga coming to PS3?!

All 3 games on 1 blue ray disc, all for a low price of $20! because remember you guys wouldnt buy there "Shitty" games, oh and when they made it they got un-lazy and make crysis level graphics along with full 1200p (full HD) and locked in 60 fps.

whos valve? oh you mean Vulva!
btw Gabe Newell is fat!




in all seriousness, why would you guys care so much? play Half Life 2 and you have played the best of valve, the other games aren't even that great.

Edit: i deserve a death sentence i forgot about Team Fortress and Gmod (even thought its not a valve game)
