Right Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 So any word if the PS3 version will be Steamworks-enabled? Lets see how well that turned out with Portal - Game was released when PSN was down, and efforts to include, free copy, account linking, cross-play...all wasted. And CSGO is downloadable, proper shooter with uber skilled players on PC, giving free PC copy is a perk but cross-play makes no sense at all.

Why doesn't it make sense? The emphasis is on the console version this time, not PC. PC version is a port. They could add M/K support for PS3 like Epic did with UT3. Not a big deal. http://www.eseanews.com/index.php?s=news&d=comments&id=9969 Edited August 13, 2011 by Karooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoctor Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 So any word if the PS3 version will be Steamworks-enabled? it probably will. surely they didn't go to all the effort to bring steam to psn only for one game right?

They could add M/K support for PS3 like Epic did with UT3. Not a big deal. And I could imagine how messy that could turn out. PS3 players with DS3, PS3 players with k/m hookup and regular PC players, all ending up in one room, third set still pwning the first two handsomely. Or they have to segregate players based on their input type/diverting them on different servers. Coming back to update, yes, they can push more updates thru steam, fine. So, they will send 2 big TUs on XBLA in a year cuz they have to go thru MS and 25 small random updates on PSN because they can, as a user I would prefer the first case anyday. And I am sure they can cut a deal with MS about update part, they cannot be as frequent as they want to, but they can do 2 updates in a year. They complain about TF2, so it all went fine with L4D?

It will have separate lobbies for k/m and controller users (if it supports crossplay, that is), just like UT3 So, they will send 2 big TUs on XBLA in a year cuz they have to go thru MS and 25 small random updates on PSN because they can, as a user I would prefer the first case anyday.

Right Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) I'm sorry, come again? This is what they want to do on the PS3 also, right? http://store.steampowered.com/news/?feed=steam_updates&appids=620 And these are just fixes, they want updates as in to add new stuff as well.

Lol why would they apply PC specific updates to PS3? They never said both versions will get fixes at the same time, its just there to bypasses PSN legalities and save time. And when it comes to MP fixes and features, I'll take incremental frequent updates over waiting for 6 months for one giant cumulative update any day, I thought that was the general opinion too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was as simple as that then TF2 on the consoles wouldn't have failed as much as it did. And L4D doesn't get anywhere near the amount of updates as CS and TF2 .

Right Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I didn't mean PS3 version to have all PC updates, I just wanted to show how frequent they are on the PC. I don't know how many updates they had for PS3 since launch and how many of them couldn't make it to 360, because of TU restriction. I reckon that PSN was down for a long time after the release and P2 isn't MP centric and updates could be a lot less comparatively, but still. But then there are some unanswered questions - When there is so strong focus on consoles (360 and PS3), how could valve be partial about major updates to one console? Lets say 360 ends up getting a much bigger active userbase, which in all likelyhood it could, can valve keep updating PS3 (and PC) while keeping 360 players on long wait, especially when they ran out of free TUs on 360? So if they really feel concerned that without the updates titles could end up being like TF2, why to dev for the platform where the game would die within a year, in the first place?

mango_man Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 so any chance that this game will be beefy in da graphics department? I hope so... but then again if its a psn release then i cant imagine it to match up to the likes of disc based main stream shooters like CoD n others... or am i completely wrong?

Right Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 so any chance that this game will be beefy in da graphics department? I hope so... Should be like Portal 2, which looked quite decent. Hope that they get 60FPS, which will make it really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
