pathetic in my opinion

I have a very good connection and I play PS3 Resistance and a lot of time it lags like hell, I also have a 360 and play Gears and I get no lag so what are you talking about?, its obvious the PS3 is having online issues as this is just the latest(the last being tennis) game where it looks like there will be no online option for the PS3 only.

live a great idea is it the best no it is not but it gives all game companies a chance to get on line the infrastructure is there just make your game around it most of the work is done for you. where as the ps3 dose not have a standard .Insomniac could do it because they have the backing of Sony they put a lot of eggs in that basket .valve is not backed by anyone but there self so they will be using the live service and they do not have to put the funds to it and it will work and work well ...will it work the best no ?i cant say.sony does not have anything there they let the dev decide that online is good for there game and if they can put the funds toward it .



like all companies they are there to maximize there profit spend 1 mill getting it going and running well on the ps3 or put the effort in the online with ms and it will take less time and cost 250 thousand . as a company i would go for the 360 . and if you think of it ms and the people flip the bill it takes time and money to do this stuff it is not magical . ms did it right and Sony did not for online ya it is free but you get what you pay for maybe 10 games worth playing online for the ps3 if that in its lifetime ,so far 1 .and ms at this point because they tought about what they wanted have 10 imo. and single played you can talk to you friends while you play too so another bonus that devs do not have to code in :).

If EA is handling the on-line then I'm not worried. They have been putting most of the xbox live features in ps2 games for years. The ea sports games I play have no problems. Besides EA won't mind spending the money for servers.

uiouio, I don't believe you. NOONE else has experienced lag on rfom. I don't believe you're the only one. That or you are sharing your connection.

*sigh* That gave me great lulz.

Valve didnt say theyre not doing the online. Just that they never have so its kinda scary. But if you wanna pay to play online games that do lag from time to time thats entirely your decision. A bad one but still yours.

That was Gabe Newell, the founder of Valve, who said that. Methinks he knows a bit more than you about all this, calling him a "big fat moron" just because you don't like it when someone disses your amazing PS3 is uncalled for.

The games are being made by EA, and a group of coders with little experience with source and Valves code. The game could end up being released in a horribly buggy fashion.

I already code for Source and I know the code very well, it is already optimized for the Xbox with entire sections of the code re-written. In fact, we can compile all the content needed to make a mod for the Xbox version of the game atm. Valve just haven't given us the ability but if they do, we will be converting our mods for sure.



Anyway, have fun with your buggy Source games.

I have had lag in RFOM many times, I dont know why but I know I get it.

and RELAX already! Looking solely at the quote in the article, all that Valve is saying is: we haven't programmed for the PS3 before, so that's going to be more difficult for us than the ones that we HAVE programmed for. There's not a word in that quote that suggested that the PS3 version would not have online, or that its online would even be compromised in some way.



And while I don't question the honesty of those who have claimed to experience lag issues with online PS3 games, I personally have played a great deal of Resistance and Motorstorm online, and it's performed flawlessly, so the issues that people have had are nothing inherent in the system itself.
