“It’s hard out here for a peeump..” Especially if you’re a “peeump” who loves him some Valve but owns a PS3. Our favourite lover of cake, breasts, and creating loosely-related connections with technology and gaming, kotaku, reported this weekend on Gabe Newell’s latest dissing of the PS3.
During an interview with Geoff Keighly of Gametrailers, the inevitable question about Valve’s avoidance of the PS3 architecture came up. Now, I have to respect Newell in the sense that he doesn’t mince words about this stuff. He could have waffled and led us on a bit. But, he didn’t. Note to the world: Valve is not working on ANYTHING for the PS3.
Maybe Gabe should consider that the boys and girls from other studios such as Insomniac, to say nothing about Criterion and Infinity Ward who also seem to manage fine on Sony’s hardware, seem to have little or no trouble developing games for the PS3. And, they have made a fair bit of money as well doing so. Now that Valve is going to milk franchises like Left 4 Dead on an annual basis, I would have thought that they might budge a bit on the PS3. Apparently not.
