So far the coop zombie-shooter Left 4 Dead has only been announced for Xbox 360 and PC as the Valve guys are still very non-PS3-oriented and can't do the PS3 port themselves, yet. But as Gabe Newell in an interview with 1UP revealed, Playstation owners can still hope for a PS3 version. EA who also ported the Orange Box to the PS3 (with doubtful success) are "interested in getting a PS3 version done." But are we interested into a Left 4 Dead port by EA after what we have been through with the Orange Box on the PS3?

Valve themselves possesses no in-house PlayStation 3 developers, which is one of the reasons why they can't port their Source Engine powered games themselves to the PS3. "We don't have the bandwidth," says Gabe Newell but at the same time gives hope for potential PS3 support. "So I think that we'll, over time, be directly more and more supporting the PS3 as our bandwidth allows us to."

But there are some problems besides the quality of the port itself that we fear with the coming of a possible PS3 Left 4 Dead. EA only does the porting, but provides no further support which is also the reason why there won't be any title updates for the Orange Box on the Playstation 3 (in spite of the Xbox 360 that is going to receive a mega update for its Orange Box by the end of the year).

And then Left 4 Dead was made for episodic-content delivery. Similar to Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead will receive special character movies (Meet Zombie no. 384) but also new content such as "new characters, new weapons, new campaigns." This concept won't translate too well then if EA does the Left 4 Dead porting. EA, don't let us down this time.
