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. Actually, here's a link to HMV, where you can pre-order Left 4 Dead for the PS3 with a June 5 release date. 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. A Valve rep, however, mocked that listing, saying, "Fantastic. I can't wait to see it." That wasn't Gabe Newell who said that, by the way. I'm a bit surprised that the #1 PS3 hater at Valve didn't have anything to say against the console. Well, I guess it's better that it stays that way. Oh well. True or not, we'll see in the coming months. More Left 4 Dead news: |

Yes you can play online with a modded 360 but you need to have the games Stealth Patched so that you don't get banned from live.

I know it sucked. However, after playing the Beta i can say that at least the multiplayer will be fun enough for me to stop caring about other Ps3 games.
On my first post i made sure not to generalize when i was talking about how "most" people won't be getting this game if it really does come out on the Ps3.
As i said, at least "I" won't be getting it.

» slightly disappointed
I'm sure Killzone 2 will be quite good, but I am still disappointed that it will only be running in 720p. If the PS3 truly is the most powerful system, and Guerrilla Games really is a top notch developer then there should have been no problem getting it to run in 1080p. Sadly neither have proved themselves as such yet, but who knows maybe the gameplay will help to change my mind.
On a little side note there are only 5 pre-orders for Killzone 2 at the Game Crazy I work at.

» Actually
Guerrilla has said that Killzone 2 will run in native 1080i. While of course this is not an optimal setting. It is making headway. Besides Killzone 2 is probably the best looking console game to date, and is quite close to what the CG trailer showed us 4 years ago.
Anyways, I really can't see the point of playing L4D on a console. Sure, they tried to make the controls feel good, but L4D is not a slow paced shooter like most 360 games and is not suited for playing on a console.

» right
I don't have any clue who guerilla is, but considering there hasn't been a cutting edge 1080i/p game yet for either system (aka, a AAA game like GOW2, Resistance 2, GTA 4, etc) I would doubt it. I've read articles that basically state it's impossible to create a next gen game with true 1080p graphics due to the sheer bandwidth that requires.
It smacks of fanboy talk to me, if it does, awesome, but anyone marching off to buy a ps3, be warned, more than likely it's a damn lie. Microsoft is extremely guilty of this lie as well as Sony. The only way to get real 1080p graphics is with a PC.
OMG didn't see that coming did you.

Guerilla Games is the company that is actually developing Killzone 2, therefore you would imagine they would know whether or not they could make a game run at 1080i. They really wouldn't state something like that if it wasn't true would they? Either way, the 1080i setting is mostly for those who are unfortunate enough to have a TV that is not able to produce a 720p image and because of that either reverts down to 480p or upscales to 1080i, both of which reduce image quality noticeably.

» Turth be told
1) You probably wont see a AAA title thats in true 1080p on any console other then ps3, and it would have to be a ps3 exclusive... but not for the obvious reasons
2) Ps3 reads RAW data slower then an xbox 360, which accounts for maybe 25% of actual disc space. The remaining disc space is usually textures, CG movies, sound etc. Which the ps3 reads faster then the xbox.
3) Thing is without a large HDD install neither system will ever see a true 1080p game. Chalk it up to "bandwith" or what ever you like. The truth is, on the 360 you would need 9gb of install to run a AAA title in 1080p, and probably 12gb to run the same game on ps3. Which currently isnt an option for xbox, hell manditory instals in general are frowned upon because of their...tiny HDD...
4) People want 1080p games but dont want installs or 9 disc dvd9 games. Which is why the ps3 could pull it off. Given 2 bd50 discs and a 12gb install, you could easily have a AAA game in 1080p.
Like others have said though, atm a cpu is the only real option for true HD gaming.
On a side note, left for dead has been out too long on xbox/pc and wouldnt see nearly the market share because most have already bought it on pc if they were on the fence.

» the real turth...i mean truth. ;)
1) maybe, maybe. sony made 1080p a major point for the console. ms focussed on 720p, which accounts for the vast majority of games on both consoles (with many AAA titles on both less than 720p).
2) the 360's dvd drive reads data faster than the ps3's blu-ray drive. and that's it. there's no difference based upon the data itself. so ps3 games tend to use install space on the hdd to get around the slower speed of blu-ray.
3) i think you seeing it wrong my friend. 1080p does not depend on hdd space, it's just a resolution setting. the higher the resolution, the higher the fillrate needed, which affects the framerate. on the pc, gamers can choose higher resolutions but the framerate may go down. you can even run the oldest pc games with the worse textures you've ever seen at the highest resolutions your monitor can take. everything looks sharper, yet more space wasn't needed.
same with consoles. every game we on 360 and ps3 can run at 1080p, just not at a minimum of 30fps. so the resolution has to drop to get the framerate up to an acceptable level.
anyway, virtua tennis 3 and nba street homecourt are 2 native 1080p titles on the 360 (both on dvd of course). there are other games but they are xbl games. and both those games are 1080p on ps3 too, and so is ninja gaiden sigma, nba 2k7 and a few others with the rest of the 1080p games on psn (much bigger list than xbl).
I guess it depends on what you consider AAA.
4) i think gamers care far more about game content and gameplay than resolution. 1080p is nice, but few enjoyed Lair just because of 1080p, since thew gameplay just wasn't good enough. so 1080p is good but it's not a must have feature.
"Like others have said though, atm a cpu is the only real option for true HD gaming."

"On a side note, left for dead has been out too long on xbox/pc and wouldnt see nearly the market share because most have already bought it on pc if they were on the fence"

» Technically
it is and it isn't. WipEout HD is native at 1920x1080 but the PS3 calculates 60 times a second whether or not it needs to reduce the resolution (to a minimum of 1280x1080) to maintain a framerate of 60fps.
The 360 has about 6 games which are native at 1920x1080, the PS3 has nearly 40.
