That's a lot of money. A lot of money that should be spent on getting EP3 out the door!

It will have been over 3 years in development if it released next year, I'm hoping it'll be long enough to grant the price tag on its lonesome.

If the rumours are to be believed, we're looking at a console version of CSS and Portal 2

Hey guys, ZP just compared L4D2 and the new Mario Brothers Wii game. It's a riot to watch, and at the end the Special Infected totally PWND the Mario Brothers. Check it out

The problem is that valve based their multiplayer on their single player

Actually, to me, it's the other way around. I think they based their single player on their multiplayer. If you really think about it, the game is NOT meant to be played alone. The bots in L4D were stupid, and now they're even dumber in L4D2 (For whatever reason). Even if they were good, it still wouldn't be nearly as much of an experience as playing with friends you can rely on to not rage quit or screw you over.


Anyway, I do not regret ever getting L4D2. Partly because I didn't have to pay $50. I got considerably lucky, but everyone has luck come their way eventually. Other than that, the game would still be worth $50 simply because of the great experiences I have when playing it. I don't only play games to admire and follow storylines, I also play them to enjoy them.

Who would play CSS with a gamepad?

Fuck that, if they fucking port CSS to Xbox, I'll fucking go over there and bitch slap all of them with my fucking foot. They should spend all of that time porting CSS to latest build of the Source engine and upgrade the visuals, like particle-based muzzle flashes and explosions, and dynamic shadows from gunfire and flash lights; like in L4D and shit.

In other words, the rumor of porting CSS to console is full of shit.

People play MW2 with a joypad and they seem to get along just fine.

I think CS for console is an unnecessary move for Valve, since CS may simply be brushed off as a weak version of the COD games. What does CS have that the COD games does not have? Why would Valve bother to go up against them unless they planned on changing CS so much?

(WELL CS does have hostage rescue.........I wonder why the COD games never got into this...they already have tons of allies in the single-player side, as well as non-combatant citizens...so one would think Hostage Rescue would fit very well into the MW paradigm.)
