“It’s a mistake to not be developing for the PS3″

Michael Patcher talks about Valve's decision to not develop for the PS3 and how it could be a mistake

This week on his Pach Attack podcast, Wedbush Morgan's games analyst, Michael Pachter covered a few questions in his short show. Though one statement stood out, when he called out developer Valve by saying, " I still kinda wonder about companies like Valve that seem to not be interested in the PS3, I think that's kind of a mistake, because they are a first rate, you know, world class developers. I think that they could make some games that could really do well on the PS3." but with Valve focused on Xbox 360 and PC games only he went on to say " As long as Valve is around the PC is around." You can catch the full podcast of Pach Attack Here.

What say you reader? Is it a mistake that Valve is missing out on developing for the PS3 this generation. Their latest title Portal 2 is due to be a smash hit, and no plans for the PS3 are in the cards. Is this a bad business decision?

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.
