Left 4 Dead Probably coming to the PS3

While I was at work I was able to look into the December issue of Gameinformer, and in there Gabe Newell the same who bashed the PS3 said that he would like to see Left 4 Dead come to the PS3. But that Valve wont be able to do the port and are leaving that up to EA.

So the PS3 will probably have a downgraded version knowing EA, but hey at least it's something. Personally though, I would get it for the PC.

[QUOTE="SolidGame_basic"]Why won't Valve do it?Animal-Mother

its not even that good of a game. after i played the demo it i immediately deleted it off my hard-drive. Idk theres something that lacks the fun of zombie killing in the game. Idk whether it was the 5-6 year old graphic engine....or the sluggish controls...or even the unlimited ammo for the pistol. Theres something about that game that makes me want to....actually play *gulp* resident evil outbreak instead...ReaperV7

Except the goal of the game isn't to kill zombies. The goal of the game is to work together with your teammates and survive.

Did you play the game singleplayer by chance? Because it's absolutely boring like that. If you aren't playing online + on Expert skill (or Versus), you're doing it wrong.

Valve isn't lazy. They just have better things to be doing with their resources. As is it takes them 2 years to make a 6 hour "Episode." To them it is simply better use of their time and money to make the PC version and then port as fast and easy as possible. I mean look at TOB and Left 4 Dead. It is completely obvious that Valve didn't put much effort into porting those. But because the 360 is so easy to port to, the game was ported by them(sort of. Certain Affinity did the 360 port of L4D with the help of Valve)....

They aren't lazy, they just want to actually release their games.....

I'm not at all worried if EA does the port. Sure, their 07 ports mainly sucked but they've really turned a corner this year and are making PS3 games on par with the 360.Jack_Bauer07

Looks bland and unbalanced (looked the maps were tuned for singleplayer.) Monsters were dying before they even touched anybody. Plus..bringing co-op in to the picture instantly kills Doom 3's "all-alone" atmosphere.

Besides..they're not even comparable; completely different games. The people who think otherwise don't understand what L4D is. It's a teamplay game of survival. Not a horror game.

Unbalanced? lol dude that's just one little level...where not much enemys...plus what are you talking about? the hit detection is amazing in doom3 must of been server lag..the hit detection in l4d is terrible..you dont even need to hit the people.

the xbox version of doom3 has 2 players online cooperative...but it was a watered down version of the offline single player.

the online coop mod on pc the single player is exactly same as offline single player alot better than xbox version coop plus supports more players.

I was playing it on advanced difficulty....it literally took me 10 secs of taking damage from the zombies JUST to get downed and the zombies would just ignore me while they would go get my other teamates...finally someone would shoot them and heal me back up... also the game is extremely linear..blocked off paths? come on.... ...HOWEVER i havent played the director mode everyone is raving about. Im pretty sure that mode is better then the co-op. ReaperV7

As I said, if you weren't playing on Expert: you're doing it wrong.

Advanced really isn't much harder than normal. Expert, on the other hand, offers a decent challange. All of your teammates have to know what they're doing. Witches can instantly kill players (not just down them), friendly-fire does FULL damage (it does virtually nothing in the lower skills), and being surrounded by a mob of infected horde is very bad news (you can only take a few hits before you're on the ground.)

You can even go one step above that, though: Expert-Versus. The Survivors often don't make it but a few yards out of the safe room unless they're very organized in those games. I've never seen the survivors complete a full game of Expert-Versus.

Besides the console ports of the OB sold poorly to the PC version, and the PS3s sales were abysmal. Great reason for Valve to port right?

Explain.

I've had no problems with L4D's hit detection. It's just like any other Source game.

Yeah, Doom 3's per-poly hit detection is nice, but hitboxes work just fine. I hardly see how it makes a difference either way..these games aren't exactly simulators.

What is better for Valve?

Releasing the PC version(4-5 million copies) and 360 version(1-2 million copies) now....

Or delay 1 year(optimistically) so they can get the PS3 version(1 million copies max) done?

Valve takes their sweet time. As is, a 360 port is 1 month of port time tops.... a PS3 port from the PC on an engine not made to be completely multiplatform is 6 months work for other developers..... Go Valve time and we are talking 1-1.5 years worth of porting...

You are wrong cow... you are wrong... Valve isn't lazy. They just know where their market it and they are going after their market.

So PS3 owners will get to be anachronists too?  Great.

Valve should have stuck with the old gameplan of no demo, the demo for this game certainly backfired as far as my dollars were concerned.   Charging 50$ for a game that should have come out two years ago is straight out of the M$/$ony playbook.

the shooting/gunplay in left 4 dead looks unsatisfactory .

plus doom3 is cooler because it's zombies/demons and stuff.

John carmack should just make a super doom3 for ps3 like he said messing around.

he could contract another company to make it.

put it on playstation network lol.

Try the full version before making such silly comments. Judging a FULL game on a demo = you lost

I'm almost 100% positive this is Woobabooba. The same guy that said Doom 3 had better graphics than Crysis.

how would you know? I thought the shooting in Crysis diden't look very good until I played it.And the shooting in Crysis was actually pretty good.

All your posts are judgeing the game before you play it. You cannot say a game is bad or terrible untill you actually tried it yourself.

meh..

360 and PC can keep it..

i'm playing it on my PC and my gaming rig isnt even impressive...

After the Orange Box i think EA will actually make an effort to get it looking better for the PS3 (Think Dead Space, Mirrors Edge)pseudocaesar

Yes that's right, spot on, the reason successful development companies don't make these games is purely down to the fact they're lazy. Well done, your insight into modern development astounds me :roll:

The zombie types in resistance2 are more fun to kill, screw this game i didnt like the game its not fun, seems like a old game sux.kar008
