Valve: Despite rumors, Left4Dead is not coming to PS3

Speaking to Wonderwall at a Microsoft Press Event, Valve's Chet Faliszek confirmed that despite many rumors surrounding Left4Dead and the PS3, that the game will remain PC and Xbox 360.

"Many people say that they heard rumours that Left4Dead is coming to PS3, however despite telling them this isn’t true they still don’t believe us, what more can we say than it is not," said Faliszek.

So Left4Dead may not come to the PS3, but don't let that get you down; Sony has many great first person shooters on the way with Resistance 2 out in stores now, Call of Duty: World at War out next week, and Killzone 2 shipping in February.

    Ah well, their loss, if they wanna be pissy about their s**tbox 360 exclusivity then let them, we've got way more than enough (and better) to look forward to :)

    My friend bought this on Steam. The demo is pretty sweet from what he says. Sucks that its not coming to ps3 though. I'd rather own it on that.

    Good they can stick it ... i dont care for Valve anymore, not since The Orange Box kept freezing my PS3, their loss is our gain, when we get better games in a few months time, and the 360 gets a handfull, just wait

    Why is this a surprise to some poeple?!

    Its obvious that Valve cant programme to the PS3. Its a ´´complicated piece of hardware`` for them. After the Orange Box incident, Im glad we dont get Left for Dead. Less Xbots trolling saying there version is superior and stuff.

    By the way, I´ve seen trailers for this game but never seen actual gameplay for it! Even before the trailers came out, people where saying this would be game of the year! WTF?!

    I have a 360 also and I'm still not buying this game.I already got a ton of shooters...After KZ2,I'll be done with shooters for a while!!!! lol

    What???? you don't like money? that's ok because I probably wouldn't have bought this game anyway lol.

    Valve has always been an M$ only shop, so no big surprise there.  I doubt I would have bought it anyway.  I'm still amazed that Orange Box made it to PS3, even as the inferior port that it is.

    As PS3 sales continue to grow, and Xbreak360 continues to slide, Valve will see the error of their ways ;)

    haha i laughed when i read this this game looks really boring. who cares Valve a Microsoft company with a different name. i would rather  play siren before L4D anyday and any time of the week.

  18. Fiddlesworth

    • 8:52am EST - November 9th, 2008

    Another non-story. How about telling us if/when they ARE ready to release on PS3?

  19. ChildOfIllusions

    • 8:53am EST - November 9th, 2008

    whats left 4 dead? sorry im to busy enjoying to many good games and inticipating even better ones to come to care about a developer who doesnt think the ps3 is wirth there time. We have plenty of quality devs that do .

  20. edward_moffet

    • 9:22am EST - November 9th, 2008

    i don't really see the big deal surrounding this game it looks like a bunch of hype to me, i don't think id buy it even if it did come to ps3, theres alot more games that are more worthy of my time and money

  21. GrugNorg0606

    • 9:49am EST - November 9th, 2008

    Yea if this games any good i guess ill dig up the crappy old 360 from the closet where its been for months now.

  22. xxIvErx

    • 9:50am EST - November 9th, 2008

    Did anyone really cared that this game was coming to the PS3? So far they've been the only 3rd party developer(I think) out right refusing to develop for the PS3. So in a way this makes them look stupid and untalented.

  23. Alpha2

    • 10:18am EST - November 9th, 2008

    Honestly why do we even care? as much hemming and hawing these guys have done about whether it will or not the fact is that even if it DOES come out it'll be a crappy port! It'll be just about Orange box debacle with a messed up port of a game by a company that didnt want our money to begin with. I say let them have it, big friggin deal.

    the game doesn't look too good. It feels like a last gen game.

    I wanted this game. Its because I really like zombie games.

    • 11:33am EST - November 9th, 2008

    well, i've seen footage of this game and the graphics look sub par...i really don't see why this is being hyped up so much.

    • 11:39am EST - November 9th, 2008

    That's too bad. It would have been great on PS3.

    • 11:43am EST - November 9th, 2008

    if they saide Half Life 2 : Episode 3 not comeing to ps3 it will be a bad news ... but left 4 Dead .. not intersted at all .. played the demo and it was normal ... i am sticking with Resistanc 2 FarCry2 & BioShock for this time

  29. supamariobrotha

    • 12:18pm EST - November 9th, 2008

    this game looks boring anyway i doubt even 360 owners want this s**t

  30. bracomadar

    • 12:31pm EST - November 9th, 2008

    I thought this was already stated like 3 times already.  We get the point, Valve hates the PS3 because it makes them work hard and they're lazy...actually they're getting paid my Microsoft, but whatever.  In the future we'll just not expect anything from them.

    @ 6

    Yeah they are already saying that which makes no sense. I heard the game won't even have a story mode. It will be just an online game. People who own a 360 say each game that comes out to their console is going to get the GOTY so don't even listen to them.

    I own all 3 consoles and PS3 runs games the best. If PS3 had as big of a fan base as the 360 does in America it would be the top console with out a doubt. The developers release things to that console more because they can make more sales off it.

    Never even heard of the game... been a few year since Valve made anything good... well as always if itis good..I'll get it on PC...

    Why can't they realize that it's better to have it on both systems? That way they sell even more! DUH!!

    • 2:38pm EST - November 9th, 2008

    thank you valve i praise you for keep this trash off the ps3, from the first time i saw this crap i was like thank god this not hitting the ps3. Resistance 2 and killzone 2 looks and plays way better than this waste of toxic.

  38. BayBud

    • 2:59pm EST - November 9th, 2008

     Was there a rumor that this was comming to PS3?

    I seem to remember Valve saying months ago there was no chance.

    They are probably just trying to size up the interest of a possible PS3 version by this constant waffle.

    Valve can go suck a fat one.

  39. jduck

    • 3:41pm EST - November 9th, 2008

    lol at the people who don't want this game. Too bad on your part I say. If you blindly support a console/company that gives no S**T whatsoever about you as an individual then it's your loss i suppose. Left 4 Dead does look like a good game and yeah, i'm upset i suppose that its not coming out on the ps3 but as many have said, there are other games and if you cant run it on your pc then its you who misses out most. there's no need to slander a game that if it came out on your console, you'd love. if killzone was multiplat, you wouldnt be all up in arms about it now would you?

    • 4:25pm EST - November 9th, 2008

    I could care less.  Valve is nobody to me.  There are hundreds of games out there so I could care less if I play this one.  Valve has made a decision to not support the PS3, which is their right.  They could have hired someone with PS3 experience to help them develop this on the PS3 but chose not too.  Get over over it.  I'm not gonna lose any sleep.  Play Residnet Evil 5 or Deep Space.

    I don't even understand why ppl care so much about this lousy game,TF2 is a LOT better than this crappy zombies-on-steroids game.

  42. BlueSteel18

    • 4:42pm EST - November 9th, 2008

    I have no interest in this game so it doesn't bother me if it doesn't come to PS3. Plus, I don't care too much for Valve right now.

  43. Neo_Aeon666

    • 4:43pm EST - November 9th, 2008

    lol well not much of a bother for ppl who own a pc. Thats what i luv about ms exclusives... they almost all come to the PC/360 lol. Ill never have to buy a 360 that way since anyway getting a computer better than a 360 is not so expansive. Especially if you only need to upgrade a lil. Thats what i like about ps3 exclusives... they really are XD and give me a reason for owning a ps3 lol

    Gay, as in this game looks like president of Valve gay.

    PSU for the love of all things on dead and alive stop posting stories about rumors about some crap zombie game thats not coming to the ps3. What is the problem they said its not coming to ps3 they are not ps3 developers ages ago case closed let this crap die its 1 game and thats it.

  46. NYKnicker

    • 12:00am EST - November 10th, 2008

    This is disappointing news, but I'll just have to buy it for the Xbox 360. I would love to see Left 4 Dead for the PlayStation 3, but it is, what it is.

  47. TaMszz

    • 2:27am EST - November 10th, 2008

     They should make up their mind already. First it was "no" then "maybe" now it's "no" again.
    don't rellay care if there's ps3 version or not. It'll look better on pc anyway. If i'm even going to get it.

  48. mangam

    • 2:41am EST - November 10th, 2008

    "but don't let that get you down" speak for yourself dude. And why is it, psu write about this almost every month, dude change d subject, this is getting bored. btw L4D really sucks I play the demo. and it sucks. 

  49. zarajoe

    • 2:51am EST - November 10th, 2008

    As much as I hate this news, I have to say fare enough.  Not every company needs to back the ps3 just like not every company needs to back the 360.  I mean xbox fans miss out on plenty of great games to (eg. Resistance).  Still I would really like to buy this game on ps3, hintedy hint hint hint to EA.

    Dudes... WTF...

    This is one of the worst looking games ive ever seen so why would anyone even care that we dont get it
