Valve likes the Wii, not so much the PS3

I'm a consumer, guy who will buy PS3 and lots of games for it, I'm extremely excited about it. Take that mister Gabe "dunno-how-to-use-Cell" Newell.

Medal of Honor, Brothers in Arms? We know those are both in development for Wii already but it wouldn't surprise me if the announcement was something like "You may know that MoH is heading to the Wii, but what you don't know is that it'll actually be good!!!"Kabouter said:
Battlefield? (even more unlikely than Half-Life I suppose)

Man, these one sentence insults some of you people write like you're above everyone else are very ****ing helpful to the discussion. Congrats. I could also mention the irony in your post but we would be doing this all day.
Anyway I may be biased but at least I never bash consoles or generalize without using any arguments to back up my claims like your buddy Gabe did, and I'm not even supposed to set an example.

You generalize people though, apparently.

That I do. Guilty as charged. It's not my fault though that certain groups from certain other forums just. can't. stop. acting like bitter insecure children.

So what. I'm perfectly happy with my PS3 and most of the console complaints come from PC developers, who I don't really care about.

Gabe Newell isn't the only developer thinking along these lines either:
"we believe that Nintendos Wii will become the market leader by the end of Christmas 2007"

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Talking about a person's taste is one thing, but talking about a person's weight, that is low, very low. I sure as hell don't remember people not sucking him off when he said that Naughty Dog was furthest along when it came to multithreading development. I guess when one's games are the pinnacle of their profession, you have to go after something else, to make you feel good. So, people going after his head, you should probably be more open-minded about what he says because if those media create threads continue to look the way they do, games like his will be some of the most high-profile on the console.

This is funny, if Newell would have said something along the lines of PS3 is so great to develop for, its power is none like I have seen before. The same people now shunning him and Valve would be happily riding his jockstrap.
So Newell doesn't like the PS3, so what. He has his reasons and since he knows more about these things than I do I'm inclined to believe that his worries concerning complexity of development may have some truth to it.
Even so, if PS3 becomes a success it will most likely get it's Valve treatment, if Newell likes it or not.

I admire his honesty, developers don't have anything to gain from being so open with personal opinion. Just like when Keita Takahashi (Mr Katamari) dared to say he didn't want to develop for the Wii.
Good on them!
Good on them!
I agree.POWERSPHERE said:
I love when developers actually state their opinions. Of course, there will be those who slam them for it, but it's always interesting.
It's kind of a shame that the PS3 is basically DOA. From the press, you'd think the PS3 is pile of trash...but it's really not at all. Ah well, nothing we can do about it.
POWERSPHERE said:
He must be a bitter fanboy too.:lol
Anyways, the words are overly dramatic, but I don't care if they speak their opinions either. I'd much rather have those kinds of criticism rather than politically-correct, handcuffed by the console manufacturer comments. And as a bonus, they influence the creation of horrible GAF threads that are always fun to read.

WOW get on with it!
we know PS3 is a **** up and hard to develop for but Look at Konami, they dont complain they deal with the problems and move on!
it seems like the bunch who is complaining that its hard to develop for PS3 are a bunch of halfassed developers who isnt smart enough to make games for PS3 so what do they do?
complain!
Tired of all negative responses about developing games for PS3

It would appear to me, Valve is fully embracing multi-core. This was in Oct\November. For him to bash PS3 now means a bit more.
Also Steam is absolutely great. Rough start, but it's gold now.
I tend to believe western developers more than eastern ones. I have rarely (if ever) read an interview with a Japanese lead programmer, it's almost as if these people don't matter. It's always some producer with a close relationship to a hardware manufacturer who makes claims about hardware, while he may not have had any personal (technical) experience with the hardware.

I think many developers had similar concerns about the difficulty of the architecture with the PS2 as well. Difference was, PS2 was unquestionably the market leader, so if you wanted to make money, you had to suck it up and deal with it. This time, it's not nearly so clear-cut, so developers who might've kept quiet before, like ol' Gabe, have been emboldened to speak out.
oh man, this thread has it all!
-people who don't have enough intellect to respond in any matter other than making fun of his weight.
-people who claim that Valve is a shitty company and defame their intelligence when it comes to programming.
-Fortified_concept contradicting himself over and over and revealing that he has no idea what irony is.
I love you guys!
