    i realy dont care if they are not deweloping for the ps3 considering there games are multiplat
    the only games that i consider spending my money on are exclusives
    60 euros is a lot of money to be spending on for a game that isn as good as a ps3 or 360 exclusive

    Hmm, good point, Reigen. Games like GTA IV, Call of Duty, Eternal Sonata, Bioshock, Just Cause 2, Borderlands, Half-Life 2, Dead Space, Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5, etc, aren't nowhere near as great as Bomberman: Act Zero, Bullet Witch, Far Cry Instincts or Too Human.
    Oh, wait, so being a console exclusive game DOESN'T always guarantee topquality? Well, that's a shame.
    Don't be so ignorant, there are plenty of great multiplatform titles out there.

    Sorry Valve, but I just don't like you… Well if you ever decide to give PS3 L4D please make it for PSN for $20… Decent game, best you got, still not worth the full $60 price tag.

      x2, valve games are poorly made. i like the idea of L4D and im a zombie lover but the gameplay and graphics put "next gen gaming" to shame. L4D looked like one of the first games to be released with the 360 and so does L4D2

    I wouldn't touch them to be honest. L4D is crap and so is part two. I played them on PC and to be total honest, they look last gen games. So by that statement made I'm glad they are not coming to the PS3 as that console is not stuck in 2007 like the 360 is.

    Keep things as they are, better looking games on PS3 with even more games like KillZone III coming soon.

    PS3 doesn't need Value at all. It will be Value needing PS3/Sony soon. SOCOM 4 will use the PS3 MOVE as shown, now if Value got off their butt in the first place they too could have had L4D using the PS3 MOVE on the PS3, with MUCH better graphics than what they have right now on 360.

    If Value didn't talk BS about the PS3 and how hard it is to develop for, ect people would have welcomed them as a company, but they have talked and insulted the Sony/PS3, and thats where the damage has been done.

    I will not buy Value games on PS3. Simple.

    I suspect there are those at Valve who do and don't want to develop for the PS3. For those who do want to develop for the PS3 they probably don't have the resources. As a programmer I've seen both development kits and programming for the 360 is like programming on the PC which everyone has done for years, but the PS3 is a different animal. Only the most committed of development teams will be able to take advantage of what the PS3 has to offer.

    valve are bull*** and wrecking the industry, their steam is driving out vendors, shops, and everything basically, what happened to buying a game , putting it in the disk tray, and playing…..updates get emailed to you…what was the problem

    this coupled with the fact their games are re-hashes, crap, poor efforts, look at leaft for dead 1 and 2, i played this stuff ten years ago. and it even looked better then too.

    360 is all about crap, the processer used in 360 and ps3 means that the valve cant make games capable for ps3. they had to learn something from santa monica studio-god of war triology, naughty dog- Uncharted and jak and daxter.,

    I do think its a mistake for Valve as a developer to not dedicate part of their resources towards PS3 development. I figured as a company, it would be good to have developers that are able to program on all platforms and more platforms they have their games on … the more money they make <— (i'm aware of how generalized that statement is)… i do feel that Valve has this animosity towards the PS3 … and i feel being lazy ( and i say "lazy" because only other reason would be that they have no resources and that just ridiculous) to program for something that is different creates a very bad image of the company. Kudos to Valve for all the accomplishments they have done and are doing and i think they can be a very BIG player if they play their cards right.

    my two cents.

    Anybody who plays a Valve game on a console is missing something. They're ALWAYS, and I repeat, ALWAYS better on the PC. Reason being, the PC provides the best control scheme, one that's tailoured to the original vision of the game.

    Second, they almost always have after market modder support, something the 360 hasn't been able to provide in any game to date. While Sony is off marketing it in interesting but limited ways with their Play, Create, Share games, neither has been able to provide the same balls to the wall support that Valve's games get from their mod communities.

    Lastly, they're available on Steam the very minute they launch, unlike other midnight launches that either require you to be at a brick and mortar store. Third party launches on Steam tend to arrive later on in their launch day, but all Valve developed titles release at midnight.

    Haze…..lol, had to put it out there…as for the system Arguing I don't get it?? never in my life have I had to defend my fridge to my friends….Its dumb. If you don't have every system, your missing out. The PS3 has some great games, So does the 360 and the Wii, and mod communities on the PC are hot!!!. Please, stop the system fanboy stuff and become a fanboy of gaming period…no disrespect meant, but it gets tired

    Seriously, exclusives are outdated every console has great games. The only thing I would like from valve is a TF2 PS3 update
