Interview: Valve on 13 things they’ve failed at

PC Gamer: Last month I was at Valve HQ in Bellevue to play Portal 2 and interview seven of their key staff. You can read the resulting preview and feature in the current issue of PC Gamer in the UK, and we’re also putting an interview up every day for a week here on the blog. Yesterday MD Gabe Newell, project manager Erik Johnson and marketing director Doug Lombardi explained their history of surprising decisions, and teased three more major surprises in the next year. Today, I innocently ask them if there’s anything in their history they see as a failure, and get thirteen different responses.

They're a great developer, but this always made me laugh:

http://developer.valvesoftw...

Can't wait for Episode 3, then hopefully HL3!

bjornbear5728d ago

but its justified. Just about everything they've done has been a masterpiece and or a great success.

I love valve, I just never understood the hate Gabe spewed at PS3 for no reason. Well he learnt his mistakes ;)

+ creeps me out how is face takes over the whole picture box O.o

N4GAddict5728d ago

They no longer failed at PS3. That's for sure.

N4GAddict5728d ago

Valve has been a great developer.

tdrules5728d ago

It takes a great man to admit his failures.
I love how the VALVe dudes are finishing each others sentences, they should really get a room.

electricshadow5728d ago

People can say whatever they want about VALVe, when I play their games, I have lots of fun. It's cool that they're admitting their failures as well. I have full faith in them.

I would buy a machine that is set up to how Kirito and Asuna play games in Sword Art Online

Inverno1936d ago

The world of Sword Art is something I don't think any developer right now will ever bother attempting to create. I've seen .Hack too and the games both those anime show is something I wish someone would make. A real life simulation presented in a medieval fantasy-esque aesthetic would make me quit real life in a heart beat lol

Double_O_Revan1937d ago

Software might be really buggy though...

Profchaos1936d ago

Maybe and maybe the flying car bug was really just a prediction of flying car software failure.

ScootaKuH1936d ago

If reality moves at 3 frames per second that is 😉

Kabaneri1936d ago

That sounds cool but imagine the social consequences some people would get really attached to that alternate reality.

Lore1936d ago

Dwight in Second Life comes to mind

Extermin8or3_1936d ago

Automate farming systems abd have computers feed us through tubes and live theblife you want.... lol wait what if the Matrix Is real? :?o :p

AFKghost1936d ago

I really dont give a flying monkey doodoo about all this futurism bs. Its really just sad, old timers on their way out desperately trying to stay relevant when they should have been making good games for the last 20 years.
