Valve Developing For 360

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the how-can-that-be-bad dept.

1up reports that Valve is apparently developing a title for the Xbox 360. From the article: "In addition to enhancing their custom Source engine with improvements taking advantage of the Xbox 360 hardware, Valve's focusing on incorporating future releases into Microsoft's Xbox Live service. Xbox Live sure would make an enormous amount of sense with the studio's episodic content plans for Half-Life 2." As the article notes, this is a big turnaround for outspoken developer Gabe Newell.

    However, I still don't see any valid reason to have purposefully ripped out the Mac and Linux code that already existed in the Quake 2 engine!

    It decreases development time and support hassles. That may or may not be a good reason, but it is a valid one.
