Valve interested in Wii U; 'It fits better into our scalability model,' says Newell | Joystiq


Damn this is some great news since they have not been on any nintendo console.

Added after 2 minutes:

Also may be another indicator of how powerfull the wii u is since they may have dev kits

I was going to make a thread on this. Beat me to it!

From the article:
Quote:
"Wii U seems to be a lot more powerful than the previous generation," he told Joystiq. "It sort of fits better into the scalability in terms of graphics performance and CPU performance, so I think it'll be a lot easier for us to fit it into our scalability model." Valve has yet to release any of its games on a Nintendo console, though Gabe told us, "We've always loved Nintendo." He also pointed out that Valve has been slowly transitioning from the PC to console counterparts, starting with Xbox 360 and more recently moving to the PlayStation 3 in a major way with Steam getting ported to Sony's console.
Those are pretty encouraging words, coming from Newell himself.

This: Gabe Newell Joining The Wii 2 Project, Nintendo Aims To Kill Competition HHGS 5/8/11 (start at 12:45, and listen to the 15:45 mark in particular) is worth a listen if you have them time.

I must lol at you thinking Half Life 3 will be out during the WiiUs lifestyle, if we are lucky, we will get the game toward the end of Nintendo's console after Wii U.

Gaben doesn't know anything.
