Didn't Valve back at the wii launch say they would consider doing a wii game? I think it's time. The Wii's success has gotten a lot of Eastern devs to jump on board, but western devs have been kinda slow on it unless they're a big publisher like EA or Activision. Valve is set to do something really great with the wii.

They said they would make some sort of games that their kids could play or something -- I don't really remember. I just remember it wouldn't be something like Left 4 Dead or CS :P. I myself am hoping for something original though, no licensed stuff.

Valve are actually really very good at getting the most out of a system so you might be surprise at what they could do on a Wii if they put their mind to it.

The source engine in my opinion, is the most efficient gaming engine to date.

What I mean by that is simply this: you run Half-Life 2 Episode 2 in all it's glory, with a mediocre system. Sure the game is no Crysis, but technically the game is very good looking.

I think, that the genius that is Valve, should be able to port Half-Life2 and all other Valve games to the Wii with little or no problem.

Wiimote + Gordon Freeman = 2 outcomes.

Outcome #1. The greatest melee controller option available. Imagine sticking to the Combine with the crowbar guided by the Wiimote *drool*

Outcome #2. Gravity gun + Wiimote.... oh dear god.

Indeed, Valve can push most any hardware to or beyond its limitations. Half-Life 2 on the Xbox is an excellent example of this.

Valve developing for Wii will be the eye-opener for a lot of western developers, unfortunately....

We’re always interested in making an MMO, but let me put it this way: I would love to do a Wii game, and how many Wii games have we shipped?

Sure, the hardware limitations on the Wii will be a big pain, but if it's Valve, I'd trust them. I've enjoyed Counter Strike, Team Fortress 1 & 2, and the Half-Life series. I'd love to see what they could do with Wii. Hopefully an original title?

When GameTrailers was at Valve studios in the spring, the Wii was discussed. It seemed Valve wasn't interested in doing a game on the Wii. It seemed they rather work with the PS3 and XBox 360.

I would've liked Left4Dead for Wii but I have it for PC now so no big deal. The IR controls would have been cool though :D

Half Life 2 on the original XBOX look just as good as it did on the PC.

The Steam Engine will look awsome on Wii.

I'm guessing they are responsible for what people refer to as the "Orange Box" collection right?

I've never owned/played any of their work, but I'm up for it.

I've heard great things about all of their projects, so I'd be up for it if they were serious.

and before that Valve said that if they made Left 4 Dead for anyother console it will be for the Wii.

They also said they wanted to work on something for the Wii. Gabe Newell says that he wants Valve to make a Wii game since he owns a Wii and thinks it is a great system.

You're joking right? I've seen Half-life 2 running on a laptop that didn't even have a dedicated GPU (i.e. it had integrated graphics). Don't forget, the original Xbox ran a pretty decent version of Half-life 2. I'm sure that if they put their heart into it, they could at least match those results. The Call of Duty 4 engine is pretty efficient but it is still more hardware demanding then the Source engine and the COD 4 engine looked pretty damn sweet on the Wii with World at War.

Still Alive expansion and new levels included, of course.

Who wants a port? I'd rather see Valve create something unique for the Wii. Why not take advantage of source to create some new Nintendo exclusive FPS IP.

I really wonder if Valve has enough bandwidth to do this. If you think of it, Valve has basically only done Half-life. Portal and Left 4 dead were made externally developed, and Valve bought them and added polish. I don't see them bringing HL to the Wii. Portal would be good fit, but they would need to port over the source engine. I would suspected because they would want to create a new IP for the Wii, but I am not looking forward towards a Valve collection of Mini-games.

I got Left 4 Dead for the 360 at christmas and have had a blast, I reckon it would rock on Wii with pointer controls. Visually it's nothing special, although the AI Director may pose a problem I am sure Valve could rig something similer. The game seems simple enough in that it only allows the player to have a handgun and one other weapon, the enemies are the basic and your teams fantastic. It would be ool if they did come ut with something original though Left 4 Dead would be a safe bet as zombie shoot em ups have done well on the Wii.
