Left 4 Dead 2 May Be PS3 Bound As Well

Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo June 20th, 2009 at 10:22 PM    


 

There was a lot of fuss last year when Left 4 Dead was released for the Xbox 360 and PC.  So much so that rumors consistently flew around that a PS3 version was in the works.  Yet, despite the strong rumors, the game never saw the blu-light of day.  

With Left 4 Dead 2's announcement fresh in our minds, lets throw some more logs on the rumor fire.  This time Joystiq points out the official Left 4 Dead 2 game page on EA.com (the game's retail publisher) lists a PlayStation 3 version as coming in Fall 2009.  While this isn't an official confirmation, it's more official than what we had with the first title.  

Update: And the merry-go-round continues.  The listing has been updated, and the PS3 version is no longer listed.

Oh this is excellent news! I hope that this ends up being true.

I really doubt this will happen. And Even if it does, it'll be a port by EA rather than direct from Valve.

So unless you have no other choice, I'd still suggest grabbing the 360 or PC version.

if it's 360 exclusive again I'll probably pass it up since I wasn't too thrilled about the 1st, but if it's ps3 bound, I may just have to check it out...I don't know why, don't ask me, maybe because of the different controller? I'm lacking sleep.

Im excited!!! Left 4 Dead was one of the 360-exclusives I was most jealous of. I would love to get a chance to do some co-op zombie killing on the PS3!!!

That's very cool news! Poor PS3 gets ignored far too often.

Jackel hit the nail on the head. Valve has stating repeatedly that the PC and 360 are the preferred platforms. If it is PS3 bound, expect it to on par with the Orange Box port.

You know, I'm okay with that. Everyone always talks about how horrible TOB was on the PS3, but with the exception of team fortress 2, I think TOB was just fine. I'm still enjoying Half Life 2. Chipping away at the story little by little.

I think I've said it other places, but I would rather have a version of the game thats a little choppy or something than not have the option to play it at all.

premature announcement? Eitherway I got a 360

Yeah, I agree with Blake. I never got the opportunity to play Left of Dead on the 360, but from what Ive seen and heard on it, it was a blast. The PS3 has no title that is on par with L4D, in that there is no other 4-player online co-op zombie killing survival game. Thus said, I will be happy with a version of L4D2 that is sub-par when compared to the 360 and PC, just to have the opportunity to experience it on my PS3.

Edit:

Well, I just looked at the page on EA's site, and the PS3 box has been removed. I was looking forward to getting it for the PS3, I hope it wasnt just an error on their part, and that they really do plan on releasing it.

@Bob

Call of Duty World At War has plenty of zombie killing in it!

Fairly sure that released on PS3.

Although it's bundled with this awful WW2 shooter.

which had more content in it then the original game that this thread is directed towards, and since we're stating opinions, was awful as well.

The more people that get to play L4D the better!
