The former Dead or Alive designer also dispels the notion that the PS3 is too difficult to develop for:

"One more thing I would add is that I don't think that developing for the PS3 is hard at all. It was much harder developing for the Famicom. It's true. I mean, give someone who's developing for the PS3 a Famicom and see if they can make a game for it. They won't be able to. Yeah, that'll prove it. We'll bet a drink on it".

We'll look into passing that along to Valve and ask about maybe getting Left 4 Dead ported over to Famicom as well!

Who says the ps3 is hard to develop, clearly those developers (valve) that say the ps3 is hard to develop for should consider looking for a different career path!

Aye. Lazy devs better not dev at all.

lol, it's like saying ''Hey! It's easier to play Flight Simulator X on Windows than piloting a real aircraft.''

Development tools adapted for the times Itagaki... >_>

He sure didn't say it was easier than the 360, which is generally accepted. Of course the PS3 can be developed on its just currently the hardest system to develop for

I agree that the Ps3 may be harder to develop for, but some developers make it sound like they have to climb the mount everest, just to develop for the ps3!!

Look what Naughty Dog and Insomniac have managed to make aboslute stunning games in the start of the ps3 lifecycle, I dont hear them complain, and who can forget MGS4!

IMO Valva should not be making any games for making such a unprofessional comment!

Maybe he should stop drinking.

I agree. Valva is a very bad game developer!

With that said, I'll be enjoying Team Fortress 2 on PC now, created by Valve. ^^

^ Yeah, you better damned be.

The reason why you never hear Insomniac or Naughty Dog complaining is because their games are being published by Sony. And, in the case of Naughty Dog, they are owned by Sony.

I bet $100,000,000 that if I gave 200 people 3 years to develop games for the Famicom I would have far more excellent games than if I put that exact same group towards developing PS3 games.

I have yet to see a single Itagaki game that's better than a single Valve game.
