So why doesn't Valve like Playstation?

Because Valve is too lazy to make a new engine for the ps3 and they wont get as much profit as they would on the 360 or pc.sethman410

wrong, valve is to lazy to make a new engine in general, the engine is dated and they keep reusing it.... They need to make a new one

Basically, they are lazy.

Wait, let me defend myself before you flame me.

Basically you all agree that it is easier to port to 360 rather than PS3 as it is easier to develop for. Now, in my book, if someone refuses to do something that might require a bit more effort than usual, I think that's lazy.

Wow, so much misinformation, so many people not knowing what they are talking about...I'll just sit back and watch.

Why all this hate on Valve? Seriously. That's a huge "sour grapes" argument. Valve makes great games - the Half Life series isarguably the best fps series ever made. Counterstrike has been the most popular multiplayer fps game ever. Valve is very user friendly and has supported the mod community throughout the years unlike many other developers. Simply because they don't support one console over another doesn't make them "lazy", narrowminded, or stupid. There have been plenty of great developers that have only supported one console or the other throughout the years. Would you call Konami/Kojima narrowminded or lazy? I wouldn't.

They lack experience... PS2_ROCKS

Hahaha! Good one! :lol:

I read an article a while ago on another gaming website which was saying about how valve isn't going to be developing for the ps3 anymore. Their reason being that the ps3 was too difficult to develop for and that the pc and 360 are just easier to work with and that it was costing them too much to develop for the ps3.

I mean, the Ps3 is the future of gaming, is any other console running on blu-ray?

Why does Valve like living in the passt with with 360 and PC? M$ pay-off?

The future of gaming is..........drumroll.........a storage medium.

How banal.

They lack experience and don't want to learn. PS2_ROCKS

I mean, this is a stupid, stupid system. The notion that these people "lack experience" or are "lazy" as another user put it, is absolutely asinine. I mean, lazy? These people are perfectionists. Look at Team Fortress 2, for crying out loud, they didn't release it until it was finished. Not to mention that they continually release free updates with new content.

I mean... sheesh...

I don't think Valve likes the 360 that much either they just develop for it because it's cheaper and much easier.

Valve games are PC games at the heart though. All Valve games are 10x better on PC.

Didnt this debate end long ago? wow fanboys really are ruthless. They just wont want to take the risk at the moment in this economy especially as the 360 is doing well, but if the ps3 keeps going up this slope they probibly will start releasing games on there quite soon.

[QUOTE="skrat_01"][QUOTE="PS2_ROCKS"] I wouldn't agree with that. They seem to be narrow minded when it comes to platforms other than the PC except for the 360 only because it's convenient for them.

Honestly If a developer chooses to prioritise platforms over another it is hardly being narrow minded.

Ironically those judging them in such a way are acting so.... as you would expect a developer to have done a substantial amount in factoring in the viability of developing for a platform....

Compared to a person on a forum.

Because VALVe found it wasn't worth the R&D tomake games for PS3.

But it's alright since every cow owns a gaming PC, right? :)

Not really, I thought he called them narrow minded because they're satisfied utilizing a specific type of hardware -- they work on the 360 because it's closer to working on the PC. A platform they're well adjusted to at this point. They work on the two platforms because their similarities. Team ICO only works on one platform because Sony owns them. Personally, I find their jazz a little insulting when they're still throwing Source at us. inertk

Haha, lots of Valve hate going on here. Always a pleasure to dip in to System Wars after working with sensible, more grounded and unbiased gamers who recognise quality no matter the platform.
