Valve said they definately wont be doing it, but its not unlikely to assume that EA will do exactly as they did with the orange box.

It is just a rumor, there was never a PS3 version and probably never will be one

It's plausible, if EA does the porting it doesn't really take anything away from Valve. It worked with TOB so I don't see why it wouldn't work with L4D.

Hows the 360 inferior to the pc? its not like the physics, graphics are that impressive. The game has a solid gameplay idea, and thats what people are excited about.

Is the 360 version inferior because it uses a controller?

Crap? with an overall score of 89 / 100 on metacritic.

It had some framerate problems (just like 360 had), but not that big of a deal like people on the boards (that probably haven't even played it) make it out to be.

it has far more framerate issues than the 360 version. even when theres nothing going on on-screen.

allright it's not crap, but EA shouldve taken their time porting it to the ps3.

Its inferior because Valve won't end up constantly updating it or adding new content like they did with Team Fortress 2.

The PC version will be filled with mods. It's the perfect game for it. That's really the main reason on why the PC version will be superior.

That and steam/xbox live are pretty much equal now.

Steam even has the better interface.

If EA wants to port it I don't see why Valve wouldn't let them. No work and more money. Sounds like a plan to me!

That doesn't mean the game will be inferior, that means the support it will get from the community will be inferior.

anyways i'm buying the pc version, i would assume almost all PCs from 2005 can run this game :p

Just look at Team Fortress 2 on the 360. The controller is awful for a fast paced shooter,not to mention the player count was cut in half and there are no mods.

With Left 4 Dead the player count thing won't be present,but the other two will. The controller will not work with this game any better then it did with TF2 and there will be no player content.

Now I'm sure this game will still be good on the 360,but Valve games are meant to be played on PC.

Its inferior because Valve won't end up constantly updating it or adding new content like they did with Team Fortress 2.

Oh geez how could I forget this.

This is also a huge factor. Team Fortress 2 has received full class updates for the medic and the pyro on PC. These updates have givent he classes unlockable weapons and achievements,also valve has released 3 new maps so far on the PC,2 of which are awesome.

Valve is one of the best,if not the best comapany out there when it comes to supporting and updating their games and keeping their fanbase happy,but they tend to only do this for the PC. They pretty much need Steam for it to work well.
