Why Valve has no interest in making console games 'We love the PC right now. Contributor It sounds like Valve has no interest in making console games. 'We get really frustrated working in walled gardens,' Valve founder Gabe Newell said at a media roundtable at Valve's offices attended by Eurogamer.
Valve released a plethora of console games in the last generation, including The Orange Box, Portal 2, both Left 4 Dead games and Counter-Strike: GO. The current generation of consoles is selling even better, relative to how far along in its lifespan it is.
So why is Valve yet to get stuck in? Valve released a number of games on the last generation of consoles, including the wonderful The Orange Box. 'So you try to talk to someone who's doing product planning on a console about free-to-play games and they say 'Oh, we're not sure free-to-play is a good idea' and you're like 'the ship has left',' Newell said of the cultural difference working with console developers after specialising in PC. A couple of Valve's big games are free-to-play, including massive MOBA Dota 2 and competitive shooter Team Fortress 2. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, however, remains £11.99. Left 4 Dead 2 is £14.99.
'There have been cases where we've updated products 5-6 times in a day,' he added. 'When we did the original iOS of Steam App, right, we shipped it, we got a whole bunch of feedback and like the next day we're ready to do an update. We weren't able to get that update out for six months! And we couldn't find out why they wouldn't release it! They wouldn't tell us. This is the life that you have in these environments. And finally they shipped it!
The Xbox 360 lt 3.0 is the new firmware (O/S) for the console. You will be given a chance to download the firmware when you turn and log onto your Xbox live account.

And they wouldn't tell us why they finally shipped it. 'So for us, while we're spending all of our time trying to be as tunnel-vision in this loop with our customers, to all of a sudden have this complete uncertainty about doing updates. Like we don't know how to operate. 'We're just too stupid to know how to be a successful iOS developer,' he railed. 'Cause for us, everything that we do, is to make our lives easier and build tools to make other software developer's lives easier. 'We don't know how to do what we do,' he says, with a heaping spoonful of salt. 'I'm sure that other people are wildly successful in those environments, but sort of our DNA tend to not work well when someone is trying to insert a lot of process between us and our customers.'
When Eurogamer asked if self-publishing had got any better in the current console environment, Newell replied: 'We love the PC right now. So there you have it.
Don't expect Valve to release new games - or even its current ones - on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One any time soon. Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go.
This led to an exploit in which players «retired» all of their ships at the end of the previous level, reducing them to RUs, and entering the next level with a huge store of raw materials to use against a very weak enemy. Although Homeworld 2 nominally has no difficulty setting, it features dynamic difficulty adjustments, in which the strength of a level's opposition is determined using the composition of the fleet the player enters the level with (the fleet remaining at the end of the previous level). The game also codifies the support caps introduced in Homeworld, and explained in Homeworld: Cataclysm, by placing overall limits on how many ships of each class the player may control at once. However, these frigates are completely exposed to attack during the boarding process, and all capturing progress is lost if they are destroyed. These maneuver close to enemy vessels and dispatch boarding parties, which capture the vessel after a short period of time; capture can be sped up by using multiple Frigates against the same target simultaneously. Homeworld 2 download iso version.
