Rumor: Left 4 Dead Headed to PlayStation 3
by Chris Faylor, Aug 04, 2008 10:01am PDTMuch like the undead, rumors of a PS3 release of Left 4 Dead just won't stay down.
According to a brief aside in the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magainze, "Left 4 Dead is coming to PS3, but EA will be taking on development duties in-house."
At present, Valve's cooperative-focused zombie-killing shooter is slated for to hit PC and Xbox 360 on November 4. Valve's last PS3 release, The Orange Box, was ported by EA UK and was oft-criticized for performance issues not found in the PC and 360 releases.
It's not the first time that media outlets have mentioned PlayStation 3 version of Left 4 Dead, with listings having previously appeared via publications GamePro and EGM.
Following the last round of rumors, project leader Mike Booth denied the claims, telling fansite Left4Dead411 that "Left 4 Dead is not currently in development for the PS3."

Question: What was the PS3's problem with OB? Programmers? Game? Engine? - I know the PS3's hardware doesn't "suck" but since it's ...for lack of a better word..."exotic" - it isn't easy on the programmers part.

Left 4 Dead is not currently in development for the PS3.
And with that we can certainly say that we will not see it day and date on the 360 this Nov. Lucky to see it this year if correct.
