http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2008/05/leftforps3dead.jpg (http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=188227)Big Xbox 360 fanboy brownie points goes to developer Valve (http://www.valvesoftware.com/), not only for giving the 360 a superior version of the Orange Box (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/orange-box), but because they openly diss the PS3. Now that's the kind of developer we love.
Chatting with CVG (http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=188227) at a recent Left 4 Dead (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/left-4-dead) preview event, Valve's Doug Lombardi was blatantly honest about why they aren't planning a PS3 version of the game, saying that "we're not PS3 developers - we're doing PC and 360 like with Orange Box." Zing! Lombardi explained that "EA came to us and said 'wow, Orange box was an incredible project, can we do a PS3 version?'", so that's why a (craptacular) PS3 version was created without Valve's magic touch. Though, it's still possible we'll see Left 4 Dead on the PS3 if it becomes a huge hit on the 360 and PC, just don't expect Valve to be involved ... mwahahahaha!
