It’s probably not a big surprise to learn that Valve isn’t hip with the Playstation 3. Anyone who played EA’s port of The Orange Box can deduce as much. But speculation is best fortified with, like, quotes and stuff, so here’s Kombo’s story on the matter.
In an interview with CVG, Doug Lombardi noteth:

“This is great!…Actually, you know what, it kind of sucks.”
Hideo Kojima, the esteemed boss of the Metal Gear Solid series, says he’s a bit disappointed in Metal Gear Solid 4. He’s satisfied with the gameplay, but he’s underwhelmed by the graphics.
From Kombo, Kotaku and Edge:
