They're too lazy to try

I mean the PS3 has finally have great games this year. GTA 4, MGS 4, LBP, Bioshock ( which is a better version than the xbox 360), Resistance 2, Whipout HD, Burout Paradise, Rock Band 2, Dead Space, and Fallout 3. All those games have an average ranking (according to game rankings.com) of 87% or higher, with six of this games over 90%. This is a great year for Sony games and the year is not over yet. And next year will be just as good. So, who cares about L4D if you are only a PS3 owner, we have enough to keep us occupied. We are not going to loss some sleep cause some fat basterd is to lazy to port a game to a more advance system than the xbox 360.

PS: also Valkyria Chronicles is also a great exclusive JRPG for the PS3 with an 86.813% which is close to 87%. So that gives the PS3 five good exclusive games this year for the PS3. MGS4, LBP, Resistance 2, Whipout HD and Valkyria Chronicles. So, enough false talk about the PS3 has no games, That was true in 2006 and early 2007, but know after two whole years we finally have the games that seperate us for the competetion and the system is not at it's climax as the xbox 360. Enjoy Gears of War 2 cause it will not get any better than that, an Alan Wake will be too late to impress now with games like Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, Quatuam Theory, etc. that blows that game out the water as far as graphics are concern. Xbox fans just cause the system is cheaper and there is a bigger library(which more than half is crap, Perfect Dark any one) does not mean it is a better system. And even if we do come in last place Sony is not going anywhere, we still will have the best games and the best system in the long run. Look at nintendo they where last and know they are first. I don't just look at price or who is first I look to see if I am going to get my monies worth. And with the PS3, I am definitly proud of my investment. I started off with the Xbox 360 and it was a bad investment, especially since I do not have it anymore. But anyway, we do not need valve we have better and smarter developers who knows who to utilize the PS3, so L4D and Valve can kiss my A**, peace.

L4D is no where near as good a game as MGS4.

So that's hardly a fair trade for the 360.

To describe to people who haven't played it - in terms of *basic gameplay* L4D is a cut down version of R2's online co-op mode. I say cut down for 2 reasons, first even on the Expert/Impossible level, L4D is not as hard as R2 and second because it only supports 4 players co-op (and in the demo at least has a terrible online matching method even on the PC).

L4D might well get good reviews but, while fun, I suspect that unless/until it gets good modding support it's a game that will wear thin very quickly - with the 360's lack of support for mods, I really think it is going to be hobbled on that platform too badly to be worth it...

i think the point his trying to make is that the same people who wrote this are probably the same people that get all sweaty because they see hideo kojima playing a 360 demo. "OMGZMGS4ISCUMMING!!!!&qu ot;

Really i think its kind of pathetic for a professional journalist to be so worried about trying to convince so few people a game isnt coming out. The people to whom this article is aimed, myself being on of them, are not going to have our minds changed by someone telling us "No. Its REALLY not coming to the ps3." I mean seriously buddy, if the developer and publisher said it, and we dont believe them, what makes you think im going to believe you. Add to this the fact that Bioshock would never come to the ps3, final fantasy 13 is ps3 exclusive, valve hates the ps3 yet it still got a port of the orange box, EA seem to love the ps3 lately, yoda wont be available on the ps3 in SC4 EVER, and a whole bunch of other crap that has been said this gen, how do YOU know l4d isnt coming out on the ps3.

I mean come on. As a games journalist, you do understand the concept of a "Timed exclusive" right? and the fact it means they HAVE to deny the game is coming out on another console? Why should your word convince me more than the devs? Seriously... AND WHY DO YOU CARE THAT WE THINK ITS A TIMED EXCLUSIVE?????

Regardless of what Valve officially said they didn’t need to do a sequel that fast, things could have easily been added to the original overtime and the sad thing is the characters and atmosphere of the original was better than the sequel. I mean we went from the dark, grim city streets to the sunny south where we are hitting massive menacing tanks with frying pans.

I honestly believe Valve killed it because it was a Turtle Rock game at its core and Valve wanted it to be known as an Valve only IP moving forward

They even brought back the original survivors just to kill one of them off (even though in the original they were heading North to Canada)

Lol L4D2 came out in 2009, and you are saying it should have been a 2020s type live service game. It's just a great game, it doesn't need battle passes and skins.

This attitude is why devs are afraid to make any multiplayer game that isn't a live service.

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Yeah, people wouldn't be constantly outraged if there weren't games that people found enraging. The whole SBI discourse shit wouldn't be a thing if all games were inoffensive. A game like Starfield can make a guy froth at his mouth, so there will always be room for a list like this.

Normally, I'd be inclined to agree with you, but there are massive caveats.
TV shows like Venture Bros, Ren and Stimpy, and Aqua Team wouldn't/couldn't be made today. Hell, Ren and Stimpy was a *children's* show, same thing with Rocko's Modern Life.

It's not for some arbitrary reason, either. It's branding and IP alignment. Companies are far more risk-averse than they were when I was kid in the 90's. Of course, you have companies coming out of the woodwork to hell spur on similar content, but remember: Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon and some incredibly provocative material.

And for movies? it's pretty obvious. American Pie/Wedding Crashers/Eurotrip among many other "raunch coms" have fallen out of style, and are absolutely outside what the modern day film industry is willing to stand by.
Ace Ventura 1 and 2, Dumb and Dumber, Freddy Got Fingered, Rat Race, Harold and Kumar, and Van Wilder follow suit.

Remember: I am not explicitly talking about films put onto streamers. I am talking wide-releases in actual theaters. Same thing goes for games: Carmageddon, Duke Nukem, Manhunt, Six Days In Fallujah (with their original concept), Hatred, and so on and so forth. Of course, I'd be inclined to mention most tactical shooters like Rainbow Six and Joint Ops as well, due to cultural sensitivity regarding *who* you are shooting and why.

And not all of it is bad (obviously). Tastes change, and perspectives change to fit the demographic.
I should add that I'm a lefty, living in L.A. Working in film.

Yeah but if you consider manhunt which was basically a snuff film could you seriously make that game with high than PS2 era graphics.

The UK is the biggest junk country pandering to that nonsense as well, with laws against free speech and expression to match. It got so bad even Rowan Atkinson made a video on free speech about it.

Now the UK raises the age rating on harmless films like Mary Poppins, it's just a load of pansy weak ass nonsense.

Are these snowflakes in the room with us now?

This is more faux outrage designed to get hits. The consequences are unfortunately creating hysteria amongst those willing to buy into it and blame "them" or "the left" or "liberals" meanwhile the left are kicking off about genocide, actual real world abhorrent acts. Nobody is campaigning to censor this shit.

Would love a new fat princess game 🤟

Games literally about sexual assault, mass genocide, bombing civilians, and school shooting. None of which is satirical.
