Why Valve Don't Make PS3 Games

[YokaI]

Not to be a grammar Nazi, but shouldn't it be "Why Valve Won't Make PS3 Games" or "Why Valve Doesn't Make PS3 Games"?

[stoopdapoop]

the power of the cell processor is overstated. If you want to calculate pi all day, then the ps3's processor is for you, but if you want your games to run well, then I suggest that you look for something a little more practical.

And the video card in the ps3 is worse than that of the X360. I don't know what superior graphics you're talking about, but to me the same game looks worse on the ps3. Have you seen the comparison shots?

i thought we weren't ganna turn this into a ps3 vs xbox360 thread?? lol

[stoopdapoop]

yeah, you're right.

Both consoles have got their own good and bad qualities. And tbh, both consoles don't even hold a candle against my laptop's video card

Don't believe comparison videos, GTAIV on both consoles look equal. Same can be said about the majority of recently released games. The only games that look worse on the PS3 are either earlier releases, or games that are ported by crappy game developers who can't work on the PS3 due to the use of Multicore. Not to mention that Gametrailers, the ones who run all of these comparison shots / films, is a subsidiary of microsoft. Or need I remind you of the "MIXUP" where they swapped which one was labeled Xbox and which one was labeled PS3?

Sorry to extend the topic, but both consoles are equivalent imo and you should only pick whichever one has the better exclusives in terms of preference. (I bought my ps3 souly for FFXIII and Metal Gear Solid 4, and for the prefered controller scheme.)

What's the quickest way to connect a PS3 to the internet? My PS3 and TV is about 6 metres away from my telephone line and modem, and i want to find a wireless and cheap way to connect it to the internet. Help?

You could compare this subject with the PC's. Correct me if Im wrong but I think most people prefer to use Windows instead of Mac, even if Mac is clearly a better (stabile) OS that could most likely do all the things Windows can with some work.

Ps. Looooooove Windows (A)

Make your internet wireless, then go to the XMB (Cross Menu Bar, the base menu)

Scroll to console settings.

Go to the bottom.

Go to Network Settings.

Go to Change Network Settings (or something like that)

You can do it from there.

Notably, the Xbox has a better lighting engine overall, but I don't mean multi-platform; all devs prefer one platform and go a little further to make it better, look at Ninja Gaiden or COD4. Even Fallout 3 is ever so slightly better lit on Xbox. However, when it goes to exclusives, Killzone 2 and MGS4 showcase some mean graphics that Xbox can't do. I'd harp on about some other PS3 stuff at this point, but that's just fanboyish retardom and we're meant to be discussing Valve's decision not to utilise the PS3 as oppose to the Xbox vs PS3 argument.

Oh, and do note that TF2 only gets updates on PC. So evidently Valve really only give a shit about PC. Can't blame them.

well i got both consoles but i use my ps3 much much more...... XBOX 360 is based on old pc hardware...... the Cell processor is much more powerfull.... and is not limited to hardware limitations like videocards....
you can compare the ps3 hardware with the famous ps2 hardware when the ps2 was released the games looked twise as bad as now days today programmers understand the ps2..... the ps3 on the otherhand is still new..... and yes MGS4 looks awsome KONAMI always gets the best out of consoles by example compare the nes metalgear to the MSX version .... btw they are twice as old as valve i think 1983 they were already busy on nintendo and msx.

konami always did try out new hardware they never say no exept for msg4 on xbox360(because of the standard crap limitations of M$)

Microsoft realy like's to rip people of...... compare only one expansion hard disks.... @sony your free to choose wich hdd you want to install internal (500GB or what ever you dream of) @Microsoft they say wanna have a big hard disk 120GB for 120$ wich is totaly not worth it.....

I never bought a new game for my xbox360 Again since i have bought a ps3....
also the solution microsoft tought up to screw all 360 owners is the DVD rom drive wich makes buetifull scratches on their dvd's
the microsoft solution buy a bigger hdd and put your game disk on hdd before scratching the dvd GENIOUS crap idea....

Im curious on how much DVD's of L4D died in a 360 DVD drive.....
