Valve: No PlayStation Move or 3D Support Until Portal 3

Hopefully by the time Portal 3 rolls around people will have caught on to the fact that 3D is a massive gimmick and has no place anywhere. We live in prayer.

In all seriousness I've never got motion controls. I've played the Wii, I've seen the Kinect and Move, and I just don't know why someone would want to add all that nonsense to their experience of gaming. Maybe it's because I actually do unwind with other physical activities, but for me gaming is slouching time. I just can't see why anyone who played games seriously would want to be jumping all around the room while playing them. Sure casual gamers might like the action and that's fine, but why impose it onto something like Portal 3? It just doesn't make sense to me.

They're waiting until Portal 3 so they can call it "Portal 3D".

Marketing genius.
Please, don't. That would be F.3.A.R all over again! [/shudder]
Moving on, Portal 3? I loved the original, and the sequel is intriguing, but wasn't the whole appeal of the game that original design that didn't outstay its' welcome?

Nice to see that Valve isn't adding currently gimmicky things into their games because they can.

Well, that all depends on how well they honestly do with the second game. If you remember, the first one could take 30 minutes to several hours to complete and it constantly threw new things at you. If Valve manages to continue that sort of design in the rest of the series, then it's no small stretch of the imagination to see further sequels. Then again, it could always fall victim to sequelitus, I just hope it doesn't though.

I would be nothing short of delighted to welcome more Portal sequels. I just want them to remain as high-calibre as the first one was. And indeed, it should not fall victim to sequelitus. Under any circumstances; I have a pistol, should a mercy killing be required. Just call.

Just a question. Will Playstation 3D be a new console or just an update for the old PS3?
It's a system update it's already in effect actually though more detailed in depth 3D games could use better tech in the future.
So what does it require to get 3D?

Waitwaitwait-

Vavle's already planning Portal 3!?! For the love of fuck! Has Gabe Newell COMPLETELY forgotten the existence of Half-Life? You know, the game that kind of STARTED this fucking company in the first place!?! What the fuck!?!

Portal 2 come out next year, there have been countless updates to TF2, and Gordon Freeman is just watching his crowbar rust in a corner! What the Hell, valve!

(/rant)

I am sorry, but, wow. Valve's cake of ideas is going to go very stale very soon, if they just keep re-releasing Portal.
Also to everyone else who is getting all up in arms about "Portal 3": the statement is really just a roundabout cocktease way of saying, "it won't be in Portal 2". In other words: you're just getting trolled by Valve. They do this all the time.

Yeah, it's good that Valve isn't spending extra time on Move or 3D support, so that they can have time for other projects such as Half Life 2 Episode 3.

...Oh wait.

Well certain games have new versions labeled for 3D like Batman Arkham Asylum 1

Though this version of 3-D support only needs red/blue 3d glasses.
