Remember when Valve complained of the PS3 being too complicated for them to develop on? If you thought they would have at least attempted at trying to understand how to best utilize the PS3's engine for their games since then, then you thought wrong. The newest episode of GTTV has Gabe Newell admitting to making no effort to make peace with the PS3.

Just because Gabe Newell thinks that the PS3 is a waste of time, doesn't mean that Valve Corporation is closing doors on the console altogether. In fact, Valve's PR exec, Doug Lombardi, expressed that the company is "up on the idea" of developing for the PS3. Who cares what their managing director thinks?

There have been rumors going around that Left 4 Dead, a shooter from Valve that's only out for the Xbox 360 and the PC, is coming to the PS3. I checked it out and I couldn't believe it, in fact, I had to double check everything we had on the Valve title just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. What did Valve have to say about it? It's all in the full article.

More console-hating. This time, online execs unload against the gaming platforms at the BMO Capital Markets' Interactive Entertainment Conference. The panel discussion heard vivid opinions on the market and what a gamer wants. Read more in the full article.

Gabe Newell, managing director of Valve, has made a lot eyebrow-raising comments through the years, more particularly the ones about his stand on console game development. This time, he talks about gamers and publishers. His latest quote can be found at the full article.

Remember when Valve's Gabe Newell said that the "PS3 is a waste of everybody's time"? Well, it looks like people can have a change of heart too. Valve admits that they're lacking in-house resources for PS3 development (which means... Team Fortress 2 won't be getting an update, even though it's already heading to the 360 and PC versions), however, they're still committed in trying to get a strong in-house team of PS3 developers. Also, unless EA has any say on it, it looks like Left 4 Dead will be staying on the Xbox 360 and PC.

We all know how Valve doesn't dig Sony's PlayStation 3. We've all heard Gabe Newell bash the console public on more than one occasion, after all. But what's this going on? Valve Corporation is having a change of heart? No less than Doug Lombardi confirms as much.

We all know that Valve's Half-Life 2: Episode 2 kicked some serious booty last year, and it's still among today's favorites because of its superior gameplay. The only downside in this scenario is that fans are asking for more, and they've started looking at E3 2008 as the possible birthplace of the next episode. Valve says "not yet", but they've got another thing for itchy trigger fingers. More after the jump.

 A fan of Valve Software's The Orange Box expressed his disappointment about what he believes as a sub-par PS3 version of the game, posting it in a well-written open letter addressed to Valve Software. A Valve employee replied to the letter, saying that he hopes that they will fix the issues in the future. Is this a confirmation of a future patch or does Valve still believe that the PS3 is "a waste of time?" More details in the full article.

If you've hummed to the tune of Still Alive one too many times, or fantasized going into war with the invigorating sounds of Team Fortress 2 (Xbox 360, PC, PS3), then you might want to consider buying the original soundtrack of The Orange Box.
