Poll: Left 4 Dead on the PS3.

[Bowstring]

EA is just porting it, they can't change the product itself, so why would it suck? I think you people are exaggerating this.

Oh and Valve can't do it themselves because... *drum roll* [HEADING=3]they're not distributors!!![/HEADING] *pause for shock*.

They never handled ports before because they only program for PC's, hence why they contract EA to publish it, they could've easily contracted Ubisoft or any other company for the effect.

Didn't EA publish it for the Xbox as well? Did it suck?

Developer(s) - Valve Corporation/ Turtle Rock Studios(defunct)/ Certain Affinity (Xbox 360)

Publisher(s) - Valve Corporation

Distributor(s)- Electronic Arts (retail)/ Steam (online)

Engine - Source

Oh snap.

Err, no. You can clearly see in that extract that Certain Affinity ported it to the Xbox 360. EA had no involvement in anything but distribution.

Err, yes. That's what I said, EA just distributed the game for the Xbox.
Thanks for backing up my point. That 'port' I used in the beginning is called 'an expression'.

If you port something poorly it can be glitchy as hell. If EA screws it up, which they probably will, it could be a bad game.

The only reason it won't be as good as the other versions is because PS3 has less-than-awesome online play. And L4D is 100% about the multiplayer.

No, it will be fine online. We're talking about the orange box fiasco.

Besides, I know people bring up the whole microphone thing, but as long as 1 or 2 people have one, it's good enough.

 

[TommyGun465]

Or maybe get a 360, they cost next to nothing now.

I best not, since in my country there is about one store shelve dedicated to the 360 games, while there are about 10 dedicated to PC.

What is this magical country?

Portugal. Its a small country in the Iberic Peninsula (next to spain). Most Americans dont know it, and most of the ones that do think of it as the ass of Spain.

 

[Lord Krunk]

I wasn't aware that Valve was making games for the PS3.

Well, except for Portal, but Sony paid a bomb to get ahold of it.

EDIT: In fact, I remember Nilcypher actually saying that Valve refused to do it, and provided sources.

 

[Anarchemitis]

It's going to bomb. why? because EA is ****ing ******** that's why.

Hey now.

 

[shadow skill]

Where is the don't care at all option? I wouldn't be surprised if it does end up coming out for the PS3 though.

" In a recent interview at a Microsoft press event with WonderWall, Valve has acknowledged the rumors about Left 4 Dead. Valve's Chet Faliszek confirmed that the game will remain a PC and Xbox 360 exclusive despite all the rumors of a possible PS3 port.

"Many people say that they heard rumors that Left4Dead is coming to PS3, however despite telling them this isn?t true they still don?t believe us, what more can we say than it is not," said Faliszek.

Valve has not been too friendly with PS3 ports, EA had to purchase rights to do the Orange Box port for PS3 and had no server support from Valve for Team Fortress 2. So while the rumors will keep spreading, don't be expecting Left 4 Dead to be hitting PS3 anytime soon. I guess the game just cant compete with the heavy hitters like Resistance 2 this fall coming exclusive to PS3.

Oh you silly fanboys. I find it funny how the writer says "Heavy Hitters" but only puts one game down. PSST, heavy hitters is plural my friend, meaning more than one.
