People are missing the point. the L4D2 boycott seems to focus more on them not wanting the community to split between the 2 games. If any of u are actual pc gamers and use steam you could have easily went to the steam groups site to see why they are boycotting the game instead of coming here making wild accusations and issuing personal attacks on valve, gabe, and MSFT.
Further proof that this site should change it's name from news 4 gamers to news 4 bashers seeing that's the on...
only person who talked crap was gabe newell and even then what he said wasn't really crap he just said he think sony should start over with the ps3 and that was 3 freaking years ago!!! everything since then has been them saying they don't have any interest in making a ps3 game. ps3 loyalist hang on to one statement and stick it to the whole company. before L4D came out on this very site 90% of the ps3 faithful were saying they would get the game for the pc, a month later they are all over ...
If a game is good it will show and prove. Why do you guys let crap like this bother you? If you own a ps3 it don't matter what 360 devs say your not gonna support the game. When ps3 first launched and Sony was talking all that crap about the next gen starts when they say it does, etc, etc,. It didn't suddenly convert 360 fans.
All these guys and gals are trying to get more consumers by telling us they have the next best thing since sliced bread if you support it support it....
they haven't always made over priced products friend. the original playstation and the ps2 were both priced fairly imo. they took a chance on the ps3 with bluray and things didn't go so well in the beginning but they are starting to see the fruits of their labor. pspGo is the only device they've made in recent memory that is overpriced imo.
i don't plan on buying it as i'm not a handheld gamer; and based on the disagree from you I'd assume you didn't get what I was trying to say either. so let me break it down for you.
the pspGo is a rip off, but sony comes under fire for doing something nintendo has been doing for years. As a whole if we are gonna give 1 company a pass we need to give the other a pass.
My last sentence in my comment above "psp got off to a slow start due to price and sadly it st...
someone as intelligent as you would not be here playing simple child games with the other mindless drones who frequent this site. Instead I'd expect to you to be a more level headed voice of reason. Surely someone with your knowledge knows that telling a fanboy anything positive about the competitions console or stating actual fact is like asking a 6 month old baby not to put his hands in his mouth....
but you won't hear sony loyalist complain about it's price. instead they'd rather sit back and cry foul about valve and left 4 dead 2. but as a true gamer i can't say I blame sony. nintendo has been getting away with this for years. gba, gba advance, gba sp. ds, ds lite, dsi.... only difference is nintendo knows how to mask their price increases. psp got off to a slow start due to price and sadly it still looks like sony hasn't learned their lesson.
won't be supporting apple or the iphone until they come to sprint. sprint has crap customer service but they have the best plans and the best coverage for me.
people think N'Gai is black LOL!!!!!!!!!
He aint one of us.
I love the 60 dollar comments I'm seeing from some people here. Like the 360 version is the only version that matters. LOL!!!!!!!! I expect a valve deal on steam the minute this game comes out. 30 bucks 40 bucks max.
#1 the title is misleading
#2 Gabe wasn't interviewed here a game designer at valve was.
Here's the direct quote
"The PC and the 360 are just more straightforward. We can focus on what we want to do, which is make game experiences, instead of sweating bullets over obscure architectural decisions they make with their platform. [...] I didn’t come into this business in the 90s because of some technical fetish. I came in because I wanted to give people experiences t...
valve has always been buddy with MSFT. why do you think the dreamcast got half life games? MSFT OS.
the orginal xbox had valve games counter strike, half life, etc,.
Now the 360 is getting some love.
If memory serves me correct aside from the orange box the only other game the ps brand got from valve was half life.
L4D was a mod that was passed off as a full retail game and sold well. of course valve will try it again with L4D2 which is nothing more than a expansion. I'll be supporting this sick and twisted strategy. Even with this Valve is still better than most other companies out there. How many Guitar Heroes and Rock Bands are we on now?????
that l4d was a mod that was sold as a retail game to begin with. The sad fact of the matter is that most pc gamers I know are eagerly awaiting L4D 2. we either wanted L4D2 or more L4D content either way I'll be supporting the game. The only people that have issues with L4D 2 are pc elitist and playstation loyalist. as a combination of both I have no problems with L4D2. L4D was more enjoyable than most other games that are sold at retail and L4D2 will have more content that many other gam...
msft is making the same mistake sony did last gen and sony is making the same mistake sony did last gen. Nintendo has the mind share. when people think motion controls they think nintendo. simple as that. no matter how advance msft's or sony's motion control offerings are the casual masses the ones they really want to go after with this is not going to bite. in the mainstream market Nintendo is synonymous with motion controls. The next system that has as much success with motion controls...
do what you do friend. any fellow panthers fan is alright with me.
GO CAROLINA!!!!
it can't work on a fps, but think of the natal / controller combo.
just think when u scream to an AI character who's in the way of a perfect sniper shot "Get out the way!"
his ass actually moves out the way. think about it. it's not just about the controls facial and voice recognition are there as well. words may be scripted but you could potentially communicate with AI on single player games like never before.
that msft has bought the onlive guys????
think about it onlive cancels their showing at E3
msft announces games on demand???
how everyone who doesn't support msft or the xbox brand thinks this will fail yet MSFT is giving people hands on time with their tech while sony has not. makes you wonder who was really more prepared eh?
companies like
naughty dog
guerilla
even 2nd party devs
insomniac
eat sleep and play
all get funding from Sony and special privligies if you will.
Valve is a 3rd party independent dev and if you actually read their interviews on ps3 development they actually state in so many words it would cost them too much money to learn and develop of the ps3 and they don't see any return on said investment.
and I agree...
