I agree on FPS being for PC only. It totally sucks to play FPS on console. When it comes to the likes of Action-Adventure though, I prefer to play those on console.

That's fine, I don't think I'm missing a lot here, not like you're FF13 or MW2 or GTA4. So don't sounds like you're a console-buying game series, nobody is buying 360 because of you, unlike Halo or GoW series.

Try again, it can. I just bought one at that price recently and it runs the newest games just fine. You just half to be smart enough to find a cheap good one.

You haven't even played Crysis. The graphics in Crysis own all the fucking games you have put together. Does any other game you have got 6400 by 3600 res? Does anything you have beat the amount of antialiasing it can handle? NO GAMING CONSOLE HAS THE SHEER POWER TO EVEN APPROACH CRYSIS.

And for the video, every goddamn game has glitches, especially in an open world game like crysis. The fact that they lowered the glitch rate that much is impressive.

Oh man! I can't believe some gamers still have the time to play their games fighting amongst themselves as often as they do.

lol @ the Ps3 fanboys saying a game sucks just because it's not coming to their console.

Well xbox 360 has l4d 2 and ps3 has God of war 3. Seems to me like everything is fare.

Actually, porting a game to another system, (Xbox 360 to PS3 and vice versa) typically only adds around 5%-10% of the development cost. This is the reason most developers are making games for both systems, the risk is relatively low compared to the potential gains.
With this in mind, simply claiming that the PS3 is too difficult to create games for just seems unlikely. Even if we were to double the development cost to 20%, it's still a relatively low risk to take.
The "subsidy" comment at the end of the article is a sort of hint that there are other hidden factors to why Valve will not port the game over. Whether it's true or not is subject to another discussion, of course...

Wow I wish 360/PC/Ps3 fanboys would stop bashing the shit out of each other. Hell I have all 3 and enjoy the shit out of everyone of their exclusive titles. Uncharted 2 is the shit and so is L4D2. The only people who are missing out on anything are the ones who don't own all 3.

valve is garbage anyway; they release an uncompleted game (L4D, with 1/4 campaign missions playable in versus at release) and nearly a year later, they decide to release the sequel. very classy.

Japanese love Left4Dead just so you know

It's not a hack, it's an exploit from level design bugs. There is no hacking on the PS3. Their encryption technology is bananas and has yet to be cracked even all these years it's been out with an entire scene working on it, which is why you don't see any bootlegs on the PS3. Left4Dead on the 360, however, is hacked to hell. I've seen people the size of buildings raining down molotovs all over the place, spawn truckloads of guns, noclipping, creating flash mobs of zombies on command, carpeting the streets in tanks, etc.

You're right.

They've already made a comment on how they aren't learned enough to develop for the PS3 before this announcement. Sony even offered to help them develop for their system.

i fully agree. if you're hooked up to one platform (DirectX in this case), it's not straightforward to port an engine to a totally different platform.
a different company might have years of experience with opengl - for them a windows/360 port would be a huge pain in the ass.
other companies develop their engines with a multiplatform concept in mind from the start - like the unreal 3 engine. while it still hasn't been ported to, for example, mac os x, it supports directx and opengl targets out of the box, so it's easy to port games to both windows, 360 and ps3 without huge differences in quality.

I dun hold anything negative against Valve..... although i am a PS3 owner....

To be honest i will be more piss off if Valve stop releasing its shooter on PC and only releasing it on X360.

Try is basically a euphamism in programming for lazy. If you can learn how to program at all, you can learn how to program for anything. It's all about effort, and most people don't like the prospects of learning something new. Valve just thinks about having to learn something new, then says "forget it" while trying to cover up their ineptitude and fanboyism.

It doesn't seem like many of these developers are saying stuff like this in a reasonable manner, but more like your average internet retard fanboy would say it. It's like Western developers are heralding the rise of the 100% quality Western console and using the opportunity to unleash all the pent up butthurt fluids building up due to their own gaming industry inferiority complex over Japan resurrecting it.

You lost me at handheld. Handhelds fail so hard, its not even funny. Look at the 4 different nintendo DS or the 3 PSP. Upgrades are minimal and it's buying the same device at the same price over and over. No customizing and not to mention small screens, bad controls and limited capabilities.

I agree, games should be PC only, it might be costly but a $600 PC can last you 2 good years of gaming and you can always gradually update at a small price.
