Gearbox (Pitchford) calls out Valve for lack of PS3 support

I agree with pretty much everything Randy is saying, thoughts?

He states "the PS3 is awesome. I think Valve...I don't know why they are doing that. It's weird. but yeah, the Playstation platform's really cool. It's different to others and it's certainly a challenge to be able to develop software for. But that's where the fun is, right?"

"I noticed something on the net not too long ago. Doug Lombardi (Valve's VP Marketing) had to take a swipe at the PS3 again, and I thought it was foolish. I read it the same way I read fanboys."

valve sucks on xbox too anyways, pc users get free DLCJavieralijandro

Valve isn't the one charging for the DLC on the 360...

Valve is an incredibly overrated company.

Lol. Valve are probably under contract, or they may not like the PS3 platform for development.

I love how the PS3 fanboys come out and whine about how Valve sucks. Besides, Valve are first a foremost a PC developer, not a 360 one.

Holy ****, am I in the twilight zone?

Anyways, I think it's time for Randy to stop crapping on Valve, Steam, etc. I like Randy and Gearbox, but enough is enough. They don't have the team at Valve. Let it go.

Valve is lazy and extremely overrated, they dont develop for ps3 coz they are noob devs

If Valve says no, then 360 users simply don't get the content.

It's Microsoft's console, meaning that Microsoft gets the make all the (arbitrary :evil: )rules it wants.

Because Microsoft wants more money. When it comes to XBL, Valve doesn't have a choice in the matter if Microsoft wants to charge; MS's way or the highway. After all, it is Microsoft's system and their online service. Sony could do the same exact thing if they wanted to.

Meh.

Gabe Newell, the co-founder and managing director of Valve hated the PS2, and he hated the PS3, I think at this stage in the game, it's just pride. Eh, whatever.

He can do whatever he wants with his company, it's a free country.

Still, good for Gearbox for calling out their peers.

I guess I should call out Gearbox for not including steam cloud in Borderlands instead of that mediocre gamespy service.

I agree with Gearbox on this. When it comes to working on something outside of the PC format and outside their own source engine, Valve doesn't have a clue about what they're doing.

Dude, Gearbox FTW.

This makes me so happy that devs have been giving the PS3 a lot of love lately. This and Bioware's praise of the PS3 (the thread is here on SW) shows that only incompetant devs can't make a good port to the PS3. Don't get me wrong, I love the 360 but there has been to much undeeded hate for the PS3 platform from devs.

Lol. Valve are probably under contract, or they may not like the PS3 platform for development.

valve does some of the best FPS's in the industry... if they only want to work on PC and 360 cause of the similar architecture, then thats fine. its their decision... they know they are missing a chance to make more money... but maybe they want to send a message to Sony to not have set up such complicated programming for the ps3.... and ps2

All I would like from them is L4D. I dont get on my 360 cause i refuse to pay for live again. I dont mind the calling out its a free country after all. I wonder if valve will comment on it.

according to some devs, yes.

the point is that you could have gotten the same results whether or not its complicated...

all 'complicated' means is that it will take some more time to learn or develop for it

Well i think that problem here is a lack of DirectX in PS3, so Valve nerver gonna like the fact that they need to bulid two version of rendering engine for each rendering lib (DX and OpenGL)

i honestly dont want those ######s making a game on the trey!

if they never done it from the start well then screw you valve, stick with microsoft, beacuse thats pretty much who they are.

ps3 is doing well without them.

Maybe Valve just dont want to develop for the PS3? Can anyone attack them for that? Its not like they owe cows anything, despite what cows always think :roll: Also, I dont think Gearbox is in a position to talk after is launched Borderlands in a broken state on the PS3.Nidget

Valve can keep their overrated games. They wouldn't know how to make a good PS3 game anyway.
