Because Gabe Newell is a knob. He bashed the PS3 a while back. He likes the 360 more because it's practically a PC, which is the only platform he cares about. The port is being left to EA, so you can expect dramatically different results from the PS3 version. 9.5 for the PC and 360, and even if the port is a 9.0 game, take away another .5 just because it's PS3, and you have an 8.5. If they don't stoop that low, they will just take away several of the medals, specifically in the graphics department. Just watch.

360's hardware is almost the same as PC hardware, so it's easier to port from PC to 360 than from PC to PS3, IF the ps3 had a userbase bigger than 360's MAYBE valve would give priority to ps3's development , but the ps3 doesn't have a userbase bigger than 360's so valve didn't.

Because the technology in a PS3 is much higher thus harder. To put it simple. And if you see what EA does with vary new high tech stuff as of late, their not real good with it. Its like trying to drive a jet, when you only been riding a bike. :P Chances are if you only know how to ride a bike, you fly a jet into the ground. At least the first few trys.

Ubisoft admitted that the version of graw2 for the ps3 was easier to code than the 360 version, I guess some games are harder to code than others, and this was one of them.

Their not, They made the mistake "so they say" of trying to make them better. Which is a lame excuse for 30fps. Im sure they wont make that mistake twice. Or when they do figure out how the machine works. Only then will they press any fancy buttons lol.

I agree. Ea has had more time to dovelop for the 360. But in a couple of years im sure the ps3 will have much better graphics,features and gameplay.

Valve is not doing the PS3 version for some reason. i guess it's because they usually work with DirectX so EA is handling the port. Hope they do a good job but judging from the track record all you can do is hope for the best.

Ughh. So their kinda just coping and pasting it, "in basic terms," And with EA, That don't sound to good. Im sure others could get that thing as smooth as ice, but EA?

Welp,, looks like COD and Haze "as far as FPSers"next month, and for the holidays :)

You almost have to think at this rate, EA is gonna look so bad in a few years. But than again after 08, and PS3 standards fly up. Watch them make a spectacular looking Madden next. It will almost have to be a must do for them, after a Killzone and MGS 4 are shown on the system.

I was miffed about the delay as well, but I bought the xbox 360 version of it today and I can tell you that if the PS3 version ends up being only half as good, it will still be well worth the wait...

The Swedish magazine Gamereactor have got the PS3 version and they wrote that its just as good as the 360 version. So no, you wrong.

30% of all 360's. But you can get a new one for free anyway. So it's not like it matters. People just over exaggerate the problem.

If you can afford a 360, I would advise you to get it. Afterall you can experience excellent games like GeoW, Bioshock etc.

For me the games I buy for my 360 is the one that are not on PS3. As for the multiplatform games + PS3 exclusives, that is what my PS3 is for.

No, they are wrong, or you are. If at this point in time, there was a PS3 version that was just as good as the 360 version, then the damned game would be out at the same time. There is no way there is a 2 month delay just because. There are obviously issues that need resolving and whether EA can get the job done or not is yet to be seen, but Gamereactor is a complete POS magazine if they are claiming that they have a finished build of the PS3 version 2 or 3 months (depending on when the issue went to press) ahead of it's release, and are claiming it's identical to the 360 version, but yet it's delayed 2 months.

I agree. The PS3 version will get dumbed down and gamespot will end up giving something much lower than the other platforms.

your right, not like it hasnt happened before, the PS3 just cant run games as smoothly as the 360 can, and this game will show its true colors

Well my 360 just broke (not RROD, so I have to pay for it), and I don't have a good gaming PC, so I'll just be waiting for the PS3 version. I think I'll probably start doing that for all multiplats, since I can't play my 360 when it's in the shop....

The fact that the load times and visuals are only so-so on that "other" console which is basically a PC is pretty good proof that the PS3 version will be sub-par. I thought Valve was supposed to be a company of technical wizardry or something? I find that it's the companies who do the least whining and complaining about the PS3's hardware being difficult (when it's just different because devs are used to PCs) are the devs who achieve the best results. Look at Bethesda, Insomniac, Naughty Dog and Epic. In fact the latter three are making some of the most the most graphically advanced games that will come out in the next 6 months on any system, for PS3. And you never see them complaining about the hardware. So in conclusion Valve, SUCK IT!

Gabe Newell has been very frustrated with Sony's dev kits in particular, equating the PS3 dev kits to a "cluster ****" of a thing to work with. Not to say that the transition from PC to 360/PS3 hasn't been difficult when starting from native PC code (thank you, Microsoft :evil: ). But of the two, he mentioned how he had a much easier time migrating the Source engine to the 360 over the PS3...

Naughty Dog would be considered a second-party developer for Sony (since they pretty much exclusively dev for the PlayStation), where VALVe (and EA) in this case, would be purely a third-party developer. Naughty Dog would have had more time with the PS3 hardware and getting to learn its ins and outs before trying to make a game for it, therefore are able to know tricks that some (or most) third-party devs won't. How else can you explain that the only two games for the PS2 capable of HD resolutions (1080i) came from Polyphony Digital, which spent more than four years working with the PS2 hardware to make it possible?

I cant wait that long for OB! its times like this i stop thinking im stupid for buying both a PS3 and 360 Elite as i think OB is out in a couple of weeks on the other console,im sure i will rent the game for PS3 and if its different enough to warrant a purchase i would trade in the 360 version for the PS3 version. All these delays dont bother me as it worked out having both,it also makes you respect both platforms and stops you being a onesided fanboy. I would recommend buying both to all of you for this very reason.
