Valve contemplating PlayStation 3 development
“Before we do anything on the PS3 we need to be able to support it in the right way,” said Chet Faliszek, writer of Valve’s zombie-shooting spectacles Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 when speaking with EDGE. Once again, not so reassuring words coming out of Valve as far as PS3 development goes. Valve’s attitude towards the PS3 is well known, as they haven’t kept a lid on their opinions in the past.
However, Faliszek added that they’ll “look at it, and I’m sure down the road we’ll do it,” which is probably the first plausible hint of any Valve games ever hitting the PS3 again. But then again, ”until we have the ability to get a PS3 team together, until we find the people who want to come to Valve or who are at Valve who want to work on that, I don’t really see us moving to that platform,” Valve’s spokesman Doug Lombardi told CVG last year.
Will we ever see an end to this arguable debacle? Do we hear any Valve love from PS3 owners out there, or could you care less about this?
Global Agenda community gets review pulled following outrage
In a story that shares some similar characteristics with last year’s Darkfall debacle, one reviewer gets called out yet again on the lack of playtime given to an MMO, only this time, it’s the game’s community going after the reviewer and not the studio itself.
This year’s game: Global Agenda. This year’s review site: GameSpot. The review score given was 5.5 out of 10 and that was low enough for the Global Agenda community to dig deeper into who exactly played the game and how long they actually played it. Thanks to the game’s player statistics system, a database where anyone could find information on any character that includes statistics likes hours spent on the character, the reviewer’s character was found. GameSpot’s policy is to spend at least 30 hours with an MMO before releasing a review. The reviewer’s character however only had 6 hours of playtime.
Once the information surfaced, a flurry of e-mails followed to both the reviewer and GameSpot’s Justin Calvert. Unlike last year’s situation however, no one was going to refute the public logs. The information resulted in the review getting pulled from the GameSpot website. Calvert has since responded with acknowledgment of the review and an apology on both GameSpot’s website and to Hi-Rez studios, stating that a new writer has been assigned to review the game.

Sony Patents Universal Controller
I’m sure I was not the first person to wish that I could use my favourite gaming controller on multiple systems. In fact, there have been products made to address this very issue. But it looks like Sony may be the first console manufacturer to try capitalizing on this desire, with a patent for a universal game controller.
