Half-Life and Portal developer Valve won’t be getting into the shitty mini-game business with the advent of Microsoft’s Project Natal for the Xbox 360, at least not if Chet Faliszek, Left 4 Dead
lead has anything to do with it.
Despite expressing a fondness for the camera add-on, Faliszek tells CVG that Valve won’t be slapping on motion activated head-sawing in, say, Left 4 Dead 3. Not sure if you were actually expecting that, but Chet’s here to tell you it’s not gonna happen. And that he’s not the biggest fan of the party-game collection cash grab.
“Don’t just make sh*tty games I wouldn’t want to play if I had to use a joystick,” Faliszek said to CVG, offering little more than a “We’ll see.” in regard to Valve’s own plans for the Xbox 360 add-on.

For mini party games it can be fun for a few minues, but who the hell wants to wave their arms around for hours?
Why not do the same for movies? you keep making a cranking motion for the movie to play, yes that would be fun.

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 6:12 PMValve are good developers. They know what’s best. I don’t care what anyone says about the Left 4 Dead 2 debacle; I’d stopped playing the first and I’ve played the second more than I’ve played Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands or any other games that came out in the same period.
