Valve's Doug Lombardi: Left 4 Dead PS3 Version Not In Development!

tidus04 | August 05, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 3

In the recently weeks there has been speculation revolving around Valve's up and coming 360/PC title Left 4 Dead in the view that there was going to be a port version arriving to the Playstation 3 via EA.

However today it seems there has been an announcement from Valve's Doug Lombardi for which has ended all current reports on the idea of there being a Playstation 3 port as he has stated: "There is no PS3 version of Left 4 Dead currently in production"!

This Saturday we've reported about the PC/X360 shooter Left 4 Dead possibly winging its way to the PlayStation 3. The scoop, which was actually a blurb in the latest issue of OPM, indicated that Electronic Arts would take on the task of porting the game to Sony's console.

As it turns out, the story was bogus, at least according to Vavle's Doug Lombardi, who made the following statement to clarify things: "There is no PS3 version of Left 4 Dead currently in production." Nicely said.

So, once again, there isn't a PS3 edition of Left 4 Dead in development. Not yet anyway. Still, who knows, eh? Maybe they'll get to work on it someday.

Of course it's not in development; not by them anyway.

But I'll say it again; what's the huge draw of this game? 4 player co-op? That it? Somehow that snagged it award nominations. I'd like to bet you spend half the time getting t-bagged by your allies...

I probably sound like I'm whining about there not being a PS3 version. But I'm not.

  The fact it's made by Valve automatically makes it likely to be one of the best games of the year.

  Boil it down to it's basics? Of course it will sound boring. Little Big Planet boiled down similarly is literally the same thing. 4 player co-op.

  You wouldn't be right as like Doug claimed it is "currently not" in development though could be and like speculated by Red 9 this could just be in reference to Valve though I would have though by this announcement they was covering EA development into mind as well.

I share the same thoughts on this as kik, I could care less. Why? because I'll be playing this on the PC. In my opinion, shooters (FPS) aren't meant to be played on a console when you can play it on a PC.

My MSN name at one point was "L4D = hurry the f' up November" sooooo can't wait for this. This is my most anticipated game for 2008.

Of course there isn't a PS3 game in development, it's *bleep*ing Valve. That being said, I will waste no time getting this game on my 360 as soon as humanly possible.
