Valve's Chet Faliszek has confirmed to NowGamer that the developer's return to the PlayStation 3 had to be done 'the right way' following the console's port of the Orange Box...
Half-Life and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has detailed how his team has been using Generative AI for research and development at Valve.
Valve has responded to New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against the firm, stating it does not believe that lootboxes in its Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 games unlawfully encourage minors to gamble, adding it was "disappointed" to see the action go ahead despite efforts to "educate" the NYAG about virtual items since "early 2023."
The fact Valve added more people to their team just to implement things such as cross platform play, user generated content, ect... makes me wanna buy the game day 1 even though I've never really got into the series before cause of the superior complex they had. It seems they got on the right track, and will end up pushing the envelope on what can be done on consoles. Its amazing and I see this gen being relevant for many more years to come.
I will admit though. I would love to see what the ps3 and pc would collaborate if the ps3 had more RAM.
What were the main probs with the ps3 port of the orange box again?
To be honest id respect them and possibly buy Portal if they outright state they were stupid and wrong. They were the ones, and only ones, that bashed the PS3 and called it so many abusive things. Calling the fans dumb and so on. Come out and say those comments were said and were wrong and that your biting your own arse then we talk.
All this "oh we have excuse after excuse" bs is just making me hate them more. I never liked Valve, their comments cemented me not buying their games, and the only way to fix that is to live up to yourself and make good games. Thank god my Orange Box purchase went to EA and not them.
And they have.
They pulled excuse after excuse in getting away from PS3. the funny thing is they bashed PSN and look what they now favour because Sony let them use Steam. How the tables turned.
Gabe was hoping the PS3 would fail the whole time but greatly underestimated the playstation brand. Now Valve eat their humble pie and get their games on cause they know there is profit there as well lol.
If only Ninja theory would shut their faces about it as well.
