Valve PS3 'a waste of time'

I can see his point with the Cell. Sony comes out with this CPU that is nothing like your typical processor. So, a PC company like Valve will have a hard time porting the game to the PS3. It was easy for the 360 since it has a development platform just like for the PC.

Even people that aren't porting are having a hard time. They have to learn this whole new architecture just to build games for this one system. If Sony had just used a more standard multi-core CPU, everything would be peachy.

Exactly! It's a lateral transition with the 360 and PC. It's easier to port then it is to build from scratch, which is why the Cell processor gives him trouble. Yet Kojima-san can wield it like a katana (MGS4 will be amazing!)? Hmm, laziness?

Guys you are aking this too seriously. He is talking about the technology used in the PS3 is a waste of time. The PS3 is a good piece of machinery, however the cell processor he says is useless cause it won't take off. He's not saying that it's crap or not powerful at all.

360 fanboys leave.

Another fat lazy dev making excuses. He could be that fat guy in the south park World of warcraft episode.

VALVE IS A WASTE OF TIME!!! :evil:

obviously they are just plain lazy if they can't figure out the PS3, of all the companies out there i figured that Valve would actually be able to appreciate the PS3, well that **** sucker can fry for all i care.

I'm diggin' his hair.

You know, being a new PS3 owner, this is the kind of crap that pisses me off!! I own a 360 (which died last week BTW, thanks MS. It's on it's way back!) and I own a PC (a very nice PC at that) and I think it's bad business to pick sides when you're a 3rd party developer. I mean now Sony fans are going to think twice about buying products from Valve since Gabe openly admits that the PS3 is inferior to the 360 and PC. The PS3 has a lot of potential that has not been explored or exploited. And it's not fair to judge any system from it's first year games. Remember Gears of War didn't come out until almost a year after the 360 launched. I can't wait for 2008, the PS3 will finally get the respect it deserves. I'm proud to own a PS3, but I'm also proud to own a 360 (when it gets back in mid November :() and a PC. I'm a gamer and that's what it's about!

I need help getting down off my soap box now! :D

Exactly I used to play nothing but games I bought on steam on my PC I have all the HalfLife and Halflife 2 series and their mods and now I'm never going to buy anything from Steam/Valve again. Waaaa it's hard to do but yet evey other developer has figure it out now. The PS3 is closing in on CrapBox's sales and we're just going to be stuborn.  IBM has put alot of money into the Cell not just Sony IBMs newer servers use the CELL it's not going anywhere Devs have to get used to it that more and more CPUs will be built in this fashion.  Valve you lost a customer I'm never buying another game through steam again.

WTF?!sa10kun

What the hell did you just make me watch.

WTF?!sa10kun

ah hahaha, good ol' c-lassic Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Whatever, Valves awesome.

They are like Rockstar/Capcom to me, they can do no wrong. I'll buy whatever they are willing to release.
