Valve: Left 4 Dead Could Come To PS3, 50-50 Chance

Posted by x3sphere at August 22, 2008, 5:25 pm


It’s no secret that Valve hasn’t exactly been staunch supporter of the PlayStation 3, especially given that company bossman Gabe Newell has called out the console on numerous occasions, going as far to label it as a “waste of time.”

But, hey, that was nearly a year ago. Now things are different! Sales of the PS3 have gone up worldwide, making the console more viable in Valve’s book. According to marketing director Doug Lombardi, there’s a 50-50 chance that future titles like Left 4 Dead may come to PS3 in the future. Just don’t expect it this year.

50-50 right now.

There’s zero chance of [Lead 4 Dead coming to PS3] this year. It’s something that’s being talked about right now as the game is gaining popularity and looking like it’s going to be a hit.

So PS3 owners, don’t worry, Valve isn’t leaving you behind. Well, 50-50 chance anyway.

sales of the PS3 is only going up because people are rushing to get what is left of the 80GB PS3's with the "Backwards compatibility" included with it. especially after hearing about how the new 160GB will be just a HDD update of the 40/80GB with absolutely NO backwards compatibility with PS2/PS1 games.


Valve will change their mind ones the PS3 sales have a sharp decline as people move to the Wii360's
