Valve Is “Not PS3 Developers.”

In an interview with CVG, Doug Lombardi noteth:

Metal Gear Solid 4 With Extra Controllers

The prodigal rumble function has returned to the Playstation 3, and everyone is delighted about it.

Street Fighter IV: Shadaloo Returns

Game companies are well-known—perhaps notorious—for selling their consoles at a loss in hopes that software sales will pick up the slack. That business practise is getting a little foggier these days, what with consoles doing a lot more than exclusively playing games.

“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.
