  • Very misleading title.

  • @TheElitCrew I see what you did there and I applaud you cleverness

  • Yeah the ps3 was too focused on being better and more powerfull that they forget that they're basically throwing almost every professional Tech developer back to sch and gonna delay game development back. I am sure they worked with a lot of software developers but i bet its mostly their 1st and 2nd party people

  • he's a nice guy and he's making alot of sense he had a good point on the ps3

  • episode 3 pleasessssssss :'(

    

  • lol ubuntu has a automatic driver update system and many other linuxes lol

  • Gabe Newell hates ps3 cause it has a three in it.

  • As a programmer in training Gabe Newell is my Idol. He's what I'm shootin for. Fuck the money! Technology is about helping people, and making life easier. Honest to god he is the only GameDev Ceo I have ever heard who makes real sense. Valve actually supports and encourages their community to do things and be creative, whereas most other companies don't even allow mod support. And yeah HL2EP3 aint out yet but at least they haven't been teasing it for years only for it to not come out.(DIABLO3).

  • No matter how much people talk shit about Gabe, no one should forget he founded one of the most successful DD game stores ever, and has brought us a heap of amazing games.

  • @hilllbilllyjoe People talk shit about Gabe? You've got to be a worthless piece of shit yourself if you talk shit about Gabe. He seems like an awesome guy. Him and Carmack are a couple of badasses.

  • @TheBlackDeath3 Oh hell naw.. Carmack is a faggot compared to Gabe.. Gabe is the ultimate developer, there is no comparison.. Didn't you hear how Carmack does not care for the PC users anymore? Carmack is essentially dead to the PC gaming world.. Rage was a fail, fucking Open GL is a fail.. I don't know what kind of moron still uses Open GL.. oh wait Carmack still does :\

  • @TheDragonrage25 I don't care if Carmack doesn't care about PC users. He's a genius and a badass, and I couldn't give a rat's ass whether or not he cares about me or anybody else in the "PC gaming world". Anybody who cares more about Carmack's loyalties than his mind and abilities doesn't deserve him or anybody like him. But why are Rage and OpenGL fail? What's the problem with using OpenGL?

  • @TheBlackDeath3 no he is an idiot. Take a look at rage and brink. Those games were so amazing (in the voice of a generic fanboy).

  • @TheDragonrage25 You're not very good at answering questions. I disagree with you wholeheartedly.

  • @TheBlackDeath3 Shocking

  • Calm down, bro.

  • gabes waaaay better than blizzard pricks....thumbs up if you agree!!!

  • @killapoons I agree, but I refuse to thumb you up, sir.

  • @killapoons Both Blizzard and Valve are great, they are the two companies that are essentially keeping the PC gaming industry relevant..

  • @TheDragonrage25 yes and trees outside dont do shit right....

  • @killapoons Try again.

  • PS3 is cheaper now and has blue-ray, so its getting popular >_>

    Gabe Newell at the time did not take into consideration that Sony was number 1 in the console market with their Playstations and Playstations 2.

  • @NonstopRam i think he new that he would have made more money if he made games for ps3, its just that he didn't like that he would have to rewrite code for the ps3.

  • @Jackinleeds01 He did say the PS3 was another Sega Saturn XD

  • @NonstopRam Really dumb statement. The Saturn was a mixture of chips that wouldn't work together properly, and despite its parallel processors were a basis dual-core would be based on years later, it was difficult to program for because there wasn't available technology on the market that could help developers, not to mention the libraries SEGA offered were crap. Sony doesn't have any of those problems. Even PC architecture is ahead of console hardware, something that was the opposite before.

  • @JackBandicootsBunker Btw I own a PS3 >_>

  • @NonstopRam I've never criticised the PS3. All that statement was directed to the Saturn. The PS3 can't be compared to the Saturn, that's the biggest heap of ignorant shit I've read, heard or seen in such a long time.

  • @Jackinleeds01 are you joking? you really think that the ps3 has made more money than steam? Maybe from the sale of the overpriced, shitty third rate computers that they call consoles. but definitely not if you compare the sales of actual ips. Also I don't think that game programmers are generally in it just for the money. I could be wrong, but I'm not.

  • @BornRuffian1 i never said i thought the ps3 made more money than steam, i was saying that he would have made more money if he had written code for the ps3. might want to actually read the comment next time.

  • actually here - Sales figures for Steam have not been released by Valve. However, Stardock, the previous owner of competing platform Impulse, estimated that, as of 2009, Steam had a 70% share of the digital distribution market for video games.[67] In early 2011, Forbes reported that Steam sales constituted 50 to 70% of the $4 billion market for downloaded PC games and that Steam offered game producers gross margins of 70% of purchase price, compared with 30% at retail.

  • Once i read somebody quote his critic on ps3, and i think like whats wrong with this asshole, but when i watch this interview i start 2 respect this guy and he makes perfect sense.

  • @SjpelleHelle exactly

    

  • This is the guy who sued his boss (well done) and then his old boss countersued him. (epic fail)

  • He is incredibly interesting to listen to.

  • wow sucks 

  • @Gatecrusherify It's not about the game just everything surrounding it.

  • @Gatecrusherify yes it is...i used to do it but it got too expensive for 1 for 2 its highly addicting for 3 i played a little after i quit and the girl i fucked came to my house and handed me back my virginity back -_-

  • @killapoons :D

  • Hearing Gabe Newell talk seriously about the gaming industry kinda makes you feel bad about all the GABEN jokes :(

  • After this interview he set the security systems in the building to delay, then stole some DNA samples to clone dinosaurs and stored them in a shaving cream can. He claimed he was just going to get something salty to eat.

  • Steam is the future....Steam is the reason.

  • Interesting stuff.

  • @Elliotvisualeffects That's fucking retarded. You think if gaming consoles died off that everyone would go out and build Pc's? No! Most people just wouldn't game at all. And Having replaceable hardware in consoles would create massive fragmentation. The beauty of a console is that every PS3 game can run on every PS3, So developers working for years to create their products can have a large established platform and audience. Stop being such a graphics whore and let the industry thrive on.

  • Gabe Newell is worth the weight.

  • The title of this video is horrible and very misleading of it's contents.

  • @HelderP1337 well its not. as a software developer, I can tell that Gaben is correct in what he is saying with $ony vendor lock in.

  • In my opinion, World of World craft sucks.

  • Consoles need to become a thing of the past.

  • i don't see anything sound like a trash talk by him to the ps3 it's seams so normal,

    i have a ps3 but i never send my hatred to him or his company ever. well he said thing here but now he gave the ps3 portal 2 that have steam to the PC plus the ps3 version is the same with the PC version with a slight differince on the main menu and the options and control at E3 he said the ps3 will going to have the best version of portal 2.

  • that's not trash talking

    that's realist talk

  • we wanna

    EP3 / HL3 / TF3/ L4D3 :D But valve dont like 3 at all :D

  • thumbs up if VALVe and DICE are you favorite PC game developers 

  • @jackthestunner DICE? Why would you even mention them there...

  • @brainslurper If you need to ask that, you're not a PC gamer.

  • 5:02 LOL, that's why portal 2 is multiplatform

  • @mattg6288 The original portal was too lol

  • Well i hope Sony paid him a Lot.

  • Why is Gabe Newell so amazing?! because he is a nerd. thats why

  • He isn't "trash talking" its just a few problems he has with it, and the reason why he is a fat ass is because he sits in his office all day long making sweet games.

  • Basically...

    Gabe: PC Gaming Master Race is the way to go.

    Yep.

  • Gabe's not saying the PS3 is bad, he is saying its hard to code for (with 7 sub-processors and one main processor in the cell architecture), but now Valve has a PS3 Team to specifically code for the PS3 (and as it seems, cross-platform) i think we can see some very good things coming out of Valve and the PS3 in the near future.

  • @TheBoxOfAwesome LEFT 4 DEAD 3

  • he seems to be talking about the technicality of it. He displays it's complex, in doing so shows he doesn't understand it. Which he admitted. As for the negative talk, I'd assume he is just trying to get a handle on it. Nothing to see here.

  • 1000th comment...

    Where's my giant-pink-cookie?

  • to much nerd talk

    haha

  • if Anon took down steam...i rly think a riot would happn

  • @ElijahGreenThumb >Implying they themselves don't have steam

  • @doughboy902 Any good enough hacker could do the same thing to Steam or Live. It it happened to Steam.. I'd imagine people would be way more pissed. 

  • I mean he isn't just trash talking it... He is talking about specific issues. Issues that he had confirmed outsourcing orange box porting to the ps3(because they couldn't do it in house) and got a sub par port and no post release support.

    Now there are more people who know how to program for the ps3 and it have probably become easier too with updated developer tools from sony. Gabe wasn't wrong and he hasn't changed, the world has.

  • My how times have changed after 5 years...

  • Where the fucking cock is part 3???

  • it's funny because now his making the ps3 version of portal 2 the best.

  • @andreaspiteri PC>PS3>xbox for portal.

  • @MiddZzY *and in general

  • @Merc399 well yes.

  • @MiddZzY xD

  • @andreaspiteri Best of the console versions yes. PC still the best!

  • Its amazing to hear him talk about how complicated the PS3 coding is, yet its far easier to develop a game on a ps3 and transfer the code to the 360. Devil May Cry 4 only took a week to port to the 360 after being developed on the PS3...kinda makes me doubt his education :P Granted, this WAS 2006 lol

  • @JoshuaWolfWilcox it's easier because ps3 is the lowest denominator of pc/ps3/360. you can't take symmetrical multicore code and dump it onto an asymmetrical processor and expect it to work the way you can do the other way around. cell/ps3 code requires additional considerations.

    the worst part is that people don't understand that sony deliberately stifling this generation with this sneaky strategy, though gabe along with most game developers saw it coming.

  • @JoshuaWolfWilcox Gabe's not really even a coder. He was talking about conversion from PC coding to PS3 coding, not PS3 to 360.

  • This was interview was taken before the system even came out 5 years ago, a lot can change in 5 years, like learn how to properly and efficiently write new code.. as we see Gabe giving away a free PC version of Portal 2 when you buy it on the PS3.

  • At first he says PS3 sucks, then leaves 360 and goes to PS3 praising it's awesomness...never change Gabe.

  • Uh no, it's just me. Gabe Newell.

  • i'm sorry gabe, but you can't beat WoW, WoW is legion. but you can get more money and get back a lot of lost time by fucking finally releasing episode three. not that hard.

  • @rileyman360 WoW is shit.

  • it costs $10,000 to interview gabe newell for 10 seconds

  • I want to hug him, see how squsiey

  • TIME PARADOX. Now this guy supports the PS3 and is wanting to design a game with Cloud Gaming and data transfer between PS3 and PC...

  • @JackBandicootsBunker

    He first went to Microsoft but they basically said "No way Jose, we want to charge people for stuff like DLC!" So he went to the PS3 because that's the only other console that can support a low - medium end version of Portal 2. He still hates the cell architecture system, but Sony is the second choice. This isn't a time paradox, this is him extending his business to other platforms, and if nobody wanted games on the consoles he would have ditched it.

  • @JackBandicootsBunker Hes doing PS3 stuff because its very web connected. He never caved in or took back what he said, he (as the owner of the company) had to make a call. He choose the lesser of 2 evils, if its going to be a bitch to code, you might as well get more connectivity out of it.

  • @JackBandicootsBunker

    because microsoft said no to his ideas for his games on xbox

  • @JackBandicootsBunker

    no,he dosent.Steam dose though.HE still hates ps3......its just the company forced him too basically

  • This dude is mah hero

  • @cogor57 really?

  • @gerson425 Yup, Gabe newell is mah fucking hero

  • @cogor57 Mine too.

  • Wow this is from 2006 and he is talking about the automatic driver updates!This is a pretty awesome semi new feature in steam now(currently only for ati users)

  • Longhorn Steakhouse?

  • 640x480 muhuhuhuhahahahahahah fking chumps!!!

  • worth the weight

  • lol now he's supporting ps3 up the ass

  • stop a gaben jk

  • Shut up Gabe! The PS3 is a good doorstop!

  • Gabe Newell is my idol. OuO

  • Yay, we do have display driver update!

  • I like how portal 2 is now on ps3 and he said that the ps3 version would be the best version at the 2010 E3.

  • @grffnchn65 this video is 4 years old

  • @grffnchn65 he said the best CONSOLE version, the PC version will obviously still be way, way superior than any console port.

  • @grffnchn65 yeah especially since they design a ton of pc games. probably because PS3's version has cross-platform play with pc and a pc key to the game on steam and a cloud storage device so you could start on ps3 and finish on pc.

  • @BattlefieldPictures

    I doubt that. What benefit would Sony have into playing into the hands of both Valve and Microsoft?

    People are making a way too big deal out of this. Most likely it's going to be narrowed down to shared friend lists and Steam Cloud offering less regulated access to update Valve games on the PlayStation 3, rather than having Sony charge and certify every single update.

  • Gabe isn't trash talking the PS3, he's making a comment about Sony's use of the IBM Cell package to deter multi-platform (and competition obviously). What he says about the Cell is inherently true though...not just trash talk.

  • LOL, that think he has on the table near the phone is the same they use in The Rock when in Pentagon.

  • Gabe Newell 2012!

  • ya pretty much gabe knows what hes talking about, i got some updated drivers that increased my fps by like 10 on average

  • Valve is by far the best company in the history of gaming. Ive never seen so mutch concern for the gamming community .

  • @dhshrh dude stfu, many of us just are not PC gamers, but that doesn't mean we don't want to enjoy games like half life and L4D2. Gabe's reasoning to why he hates making games for consoles makes perfect sense, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want new players to experience his games.

  • Is it safe to say that every steam user has at least 1 valve game? Valve runs steam right? since gabe newell is in charge of valve and steam?

  • @stuffers09 Hey! I Love Both PS3 And Gabe! But You Dont See Me Implying Exbucks Sucks!

  • @stuffers09 except he apologized and sucked up to sony's balls saying he was wrong.

  • @stuffers09 the maker of this vid is a sad troll

  • @stuffers09 It's funny how he talks trash about this and then instantly loves PS3 later and ports Portal 2 to PS3.

  • @stuffers09 No, it should be PC fags flock to this video.

    BTW how the fuck do you do splitscreen on a PC w/o lan, no games seem to have that feature

  • @Shinzu92 portal 2 appears to and numerous previously released games have as well.

  • @Merc399 It'd be easy to install it ALOT of games, just hook up your PC to your TV and buy 2 wireless controllers, hook those up and use the splitscreen.

  • Gabe Newell wants every gaming corporation to make his life better olo

  • after watching this two part series, I can now see why Valve has become one of the top PC developers of all time. WIth the thought process of someone like Gabe Newell, how could any company go wrong? This guy has his thinking straight.

  • How to beat WoW: Make more hats, apparently.

  • @TadRaunch world of halflife nuff said lol

  • lets just be real he waz wrong in what he said cuz he never tried developing on the ps3 at the time so he trash talked it now that he sees the beauty of it and wat it can do and he sees the evil of M$ he's backpedaling.

  • @GuyFromNewark88 I think Gabe knows what his talking about.

  • how to beat wow?

    don't make rpgs they are gay

  • @FlyingAce1016 how can a game be homosexual ? : /

  • Their fault. PS3 is fine. Other developers manage, hes just crap.

  • @mindtwindompeople

    That's like saying "You're missing an arm? Your fault. It's fine. Other people manage. You're a wimp".

  • its funny every point he made cant be countered by saying every other has managed an sony provides the tools to help the devs he should be thanking sony for making a console that can somewhat keep up with the pc

  • Naughty Dog begs to differ on how hard the PS3 is to write for 8-) lol ... this is just Gabe's opinion early on. They've clearly came around to the Playstation brand (or Sony just threw a boat load of money at them UNTIL they came around to the Playstation brand)

  • @pnroyal That's a very unfair comparison. Naughty Dog is a company owned by Sony and they are going to get a LOT of help from them as it's the only platform they develop for. For a third party, multi platform developer like Valve it would've been much different.

  • @pnroyal

    No they don't. It is difficult writing for 7 SPEs and a PPE. You have to break up your work into nuggets of code and individually compile for each of those microprocessors. Then there's the whole issue of optimization.

    Naughty Dog does not differ on how hard it is to write for the PS3. No one that is human differs.

  • Kinda cool.

    Blizzard really did start a gaming revolution. Even software companies that don't even focus on MMOs, find that World of Warcraft is some Holy Grail, and want to figure out how Blizzard found it.

  • @Xantexhunter gabe is a wow player, also its not so much about the type of game (mmo), he is saying about how they get there content and support out to the customer as a business

  • gabe newel shold make a game sistem called "valve cube" it locks like a game cube but the power butten is a valve and the top sees VALVE

  • gabe should be the president of PC gaming. 

  • @kahunakao he is the president of PC gaming.

  • @kahunakao Gabe should be the GOD of PC gaming.

  • @kahunakao Truthful comment is true. FUCK YOU M$

  • @kahunakao I would agree, but currently EA is leading the front in PC and XBOX gaming, whereas Steam only covers PC and Mac.

  • @kahunakao After seeing this interview, I thought so too - then I remembered his release schedule.

  • @kahunakao He is in my book.

  • @kahunakao Gabe is president of PC gaming

    observe this simple chart

    GageN>Valve>Steam> 50% of the PC market

  • @sonofplug BUT

    HOW CAN ANYTHING BE BIGGER THAN 100%?

    ohwait, it's gabe

  • I think he kind of is already...

    Though I think a better title would be king.

  • @kahunakao i thought he already was...

  • @kahunakao With Cevat Yerli as vice-president: "Consoles don't have enough power to run Crysis (1)"

  • @kahunakao He is :) I would say he is the biggest player owning one of the three great respected developers(valve, rock star and blizzard) and the biggest pc game distributer.

  • Gabe is right, xbox doesnt make anything any better and ps3 doesnt make anything any better...

    Fuck consoles.

  • @WindedNumber1 At least PS3 can do it better than 360

  • Comment removed

  • I has a ps3 and a PC. :3 Ima get portal 2 for the ps3 to see how it rolls or I'll get both. Even if Gabe did say wrong of the ps3. He obviously changed his mind for a good reason and I just pray to god this means updates for all the valve games on sony too and a whole lot more like L4D and stuff.

    heheh x3 xbox pretty much won't have a leg to stand on and Microsoft will fall and suffer for all the pain it gave to all of it's gamers!!! >:O

  • he didnt really "trash-talk" the PS3 he just explained how difficult and impractical it is in terms of business strategy and to develop games for it overall

    but now look at sonys new press conference. PS3 is getting the best version of Portal 2! who saw that coming right?

  • @partisan49 best console version, sure. the PC version will of course be superior as it is with any valve game

  • @Nickzed

    well durr that kinda goes without sayin

  • GABE PLAYS WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD!

  • The way Gabe talks about giving updates to drivers over Steam shows how his ambitions are for making Steam a massive player in unifying gaming on the PC.

  • steam is awsome,gabe is awsome,tf2 is awsome, do i forgot something? ah yea steam dont wants money, just look how much they release games compared to EA

  • @CssHDmonster They want money as much as the other companies, they just value their integrity, and have some style.

  • Valve's problem is their very old school and they have problems getting programmers who can program for PS3, they have had this issue right up until a couple of years ago when they finally hired some programmers who can multi-thread program.

    Looking at Valves games today and steam today then going back and re-analyzing What Mr Newell said then, was very ahead of it's time. Which is why Valve is very popular now and why Left4Dead and TF2 games are so popular.

  • You'd think that Microsoft and Activision would learn the lessons of old, what happened back 9 years ago when so many faceless greedy publishers ran out of money due to people not buying because they had little to no support because all they wanted to do was release it, then make money then move on? Are they so quick to forget EA's forever tarnished reputation for destroying Command And Conquer and liquidating several great developers which they partly owned... guess what? THQ remembers...

  • reading the comments...... Still using the same internet meme called "ps3 has no gaem" that died 2 years ago.... Even PS3 troll group 4chan /v/ says "xbox has no gaem" now(after e3 2010 actually).... Only Gears of War and Halo.... Not even mentioning that ps3 users dont have to pay to play online, blueray player and Xbox is a hard failure of hardware... Microsoft failed to fix disc starching and Rrod for 4 years and ne slim version gives error messages(e74 for ex) and shuts itself...common sense

  • duuude....imagine a portal MMO...

  • I love how Mr. Newell doesn't shy away from negative views about his own products, in stead of the usual politician's answer you would get.

  • I hear ya bro PS3 is hard ass hell to dev for..
