Valve is sick of **** party games'

Kinda sad that they would go out of their way to make fun of another genre of gaming. I love Value and all but what makes a TF2 any better than a party game?

Well Molineaux likes Natal so there is hope. Personally I hope for a Black & White game for consoles with natal controls.

Screw that, I want Dungeon Keeper 3 and another Populous.. Vastly superior game series compared to Fable and Black & white.

Impossible. Peter doesnt have the rights to those game anyome.

I CAN DREAM CAN'T I? :cry:

great,

now they just need 5 more years

so they can finally get sick of FPS too

what has valve done that is remotely oringinal "gameplay" wise since.. half life 2. Me thinks they need to keep shhhh'd until they stop milking tf2 and lfd series.

Go Valve, now go get to work on one of your "original" FPS games!!! :P I would think they would also be getting sick of rehashing the L4D series or FPS games in general since that has been all they have ever done. jimmarko21876

.. If anything as FPS's go Valve is quite tame, where L4D was a completely new and quite original IP, and L4D2 according to most peoples opinions was a great evolution from that.. TF2 to this day is still some of the best and most unique fps action out there.. Things like playing a spy are some of the hardest roles to playdue to having to trick your enemy..

Everytime I hear of project natal I feel a stong urge to :facepalm:

Project Natal is the worst name ever. Like, ever. Extremely talented microsoft execs earning their 200k a year...

"It's like naval but not and it's a project!" jeezuz

L4D is a party game........surrealnumber5

Sadly natal will likely produce nothing but now, If they had kept the processor in the natal camera they could have done loads more with the thing then it will now...since they've taken it out I'm am competely against natal.

Party game specifically means a collection of mini games.. L4D is most certainly not that.

They are correct. [QUOTE="o0squishy0o"]

completely and utterly owned. Valve is one of the few true innovators this gen.

[QUOTE="RedruM_I"]Is Natal even going to be capable for games that are not **** party games? :|sSubZerOo

Party game specifically means a collection of mini games.. L4D is most certainly not that.

A party game is a game that is generally a wide-appeal, easy-to-pick-up game, generally simple. Usually it means it consists of several mini-games, such as Warioware (more accurately "microgames" there) and Mario Party. Even if it's single-genre, such as Smash Bros or Mario Kart, it still follows the other main criteria of being simple and having a wide appeal. You don't have to like fighting games to like Smash Bros, or racing games to like Mario Kart.

L4D... is a shooter. If you don't like shooters, you probably won't like L4D. And the campaigns can be fairly lengthy for a multiplayer game. Also, it's mostly online, unless you're doing splitscreen on the 360. Why you would play a Valve game on the 360, I have no clue, but that's pretty much the only way it has anything in common with a party game. And by that logic, Quake Live or Halo's online multiplayer are party games, too.

Also, it's a stretch to call Smash Bros or Mark Kart party games, too.

So by your logic Street Fighter is a party game series? I don't think so.. L4D is specifically just that, while party games are a collection of completely different small games.

How does L4D fit into this or this definition?

You do realise that Valve has only released two Team Fortress games and is currently supporting Team Fortress 2 with new updates and free DLC?Tell me, how the **** is that even considered milking.

No not just hats... Tons of new modes to play.... TONS of new maps, and a bunch of new gameplay changing new weapons. The game that TF2 is now is at least 5 times the game it was when it first came out. Payload mode and Arena mode are amazing and all the new weapons are fantastic.

As valve don't develop for the PS3, I couldn't give a crap what valve think.

Why post then? o_o

lol.

Valve has already angered PS3 users.

think this is enough to anger Wii users now too? not quite as direct, however.

Left 4 Dead could work, it's a fairly simple game, in terms of mechanics and gameplay. I'll stick to L4D2 because I'm not liking this motion control boom.

Thanks Valve for summarizing my thoughts on party games.

Now would you please make a few more games that don't use the First person perspective? ;D

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"] all but the final rounds can be played in a few mins if that. i have had games of L4D with friends that last a shorter amount of time then a game of wii sports tennis with the same group of friends. surrealnumber5
